turk128 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Besides the squashes at the beginning, I don't think anyone has come out looking bad vs Aleister Black. He sells at the proper spots for everyone (even those who people think he shouldn't sell for). In the long run, it makes him a hell lot more versatile booking-wise.

OSJ Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Perhaps we'll get to see my 205 LIVE dream match which would consist of Itami kicking Enzo in the face for the better part of an hour... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 Per Meltzer - the plan right now is to do a 5th Takeover show Money in the Bank weekend in Chicago. Date of the show would be June 16, 2018 This is the same model they followed this year (including the 5th show taking place in Chicago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the case to a guy like Dream or Birch and it could really be used to elevate someone. Also with people appearing less frequently on screen it would make a possible live event cash in a reality. NXT have had titles change hands on the road so a MITB cash in can be legitimately teased all the time. Dream cashing in by appearing behind someone as they entered the ring would be the best thing ever. Just end the show after the cash in and have a "we're out of time" blurb from Nigel.

RIPPA Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Just to make it clear - the plan isn't (at least for now) for there to be a NXT MITB match. Just that that is the weekend they will run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southofheavy Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 No thread up for last night's TV, but godDAMN, Montez Ford damn near jumped through the roof on that Frog Splash. He also manages to crack me up at least once almost every time he's on screen. Dude's a true goof. That four way was really, really good. Right guy won, but I DID NOT see that ending coming. Awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 That frog splash would have made Art Barr say "Goddamn!" Loved the four way. I knew who won, but had no idea how it happened, which made the finish that much more dramatic since I assumed someone else was taking the pin. I think Killian's career would have been made if he had six more inches on his leap. That was an amazing table spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I’m curious to see how they’ll handle Dain. They’re obviously high on him given he was in the Andre Battle Royal, has already been in two #1 contender matches, and was booked to shine in War Games, yet most of the time he’s just another guy in a stable.

southofheavy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 He kinda doesn't even fit in Sanity, either. They're like three Garbage Pail Kids and a viking. That's a mean, mean thing to say about Nikki Cross and I'm sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I'm slightly sceptical about Sanity getting called up as-is. Eric Young may have a few years left in him (as he likes to point out, much of his TNA run was spent doing low-impact comedy schtick), but I think he's in the player-coach spot really. Alexander Wolfe's fine an' all, but I don't really see a place for him on the main shows - outside of some dumb 'European Union' gimmick with Cesaro or something. Obviously Dain is potentially different. If anything, I could see them pairing him with a heel Balor given that they don't seem particularly high on Finn right now.

Peck Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 One of these days I'm going to count the words that Percy says during a one-hour broadcast. I swear it can't be more than 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yeah, Percy contributes nothing to commentary, if anything he makes it hard for the other two to develop any chemistry. Can't help but think a gimmick would help him channel his charisma. Maybe a hand-puppet that talks for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So much of Watson's charisma when he was a wrestler was physical. I dunno why they ever thought commentary was something he'd be good at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
