Craig H Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It was so freaking awesome to see Hanson and Rowe in NXT. "SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Pretty efficient episode. They tied up a few loose ends for those getting called up to the main roster, highlighted some new talent, and set the table for what's coming up the next few weeks.

Dolfan in NYC Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Lars Sullivan needs to never be shot from beneath again. I didn't know it was possible to make him more ugly.

Greggulator Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Lars/Killian is the best. Two big dudes just beating the hell out of each other with a bunch of garbage for like 10 minutes or so? Put that on my television every week, please. I like the story of the ending with Dane just biting off a bit too much when thinking he could do a Van Damniator and getting caught by Lars. War Raiders were also great. Damn, I want to see them vs. Bludgeon Brothers so badly. Or, even better, I want to see them and The Bludgeons on the same team in Survivor Series and eat up a bunch of skinny babyfaces. More Kona Reeves, too. I love any heel who brags about the glory of his hair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 War Raiders squash was fun. As was Lars/Dain. I like that Kai has become Shayna's no. 1 victim to bully. I kind of hope it leads to Kai being the one to dethrone Shayna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Another great hour of television from Full Sail. Candace never connected with me on the indy scene, maybe I didn't see enough of her. But I think she's come across very likable and easy to root for in NXT. She could be a big babyface on the main rosters. Zelina Vega could be a top heel too but I prefer she stay with Almas and they do their act for a while. Those two dudes who were mauled by War Raiders were excellent in selling death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, and unfortunately that promo video is full of Kona looking like that. I get what they're trying to do, but it's not going to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Copy+pasting an Ikemen Jiro gimmick into NXT could probably work, but he's... not especially hot. So. That's a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Shayna plays such a great asshole. It's going to be glorious once she is finally dethroned. Vega/Candice was short but sweet. Enjoyed the role reversal of Almas being her equalizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be super ugly and mean-looking and the more it brings that across the more I fall in love with it. And that was a fun match with Dain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like that’d be perfect for a heel. Delusional guy who thinks he’s way hotter than he is. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo Dallas as aspiring Instagram model, rather than cornball inspo poster, could work for sure, if that is the direction it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I might be crazy, and this isn't a knock on Lars, but I really think Dain is the better monster hoss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you're half right... Dain is the better pure hoss, but the duality of the soft-spoken erudite Lars when out of the ring to the vicious fiend in ring makes Lars the better monster. If that makes any sense. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w. josh Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Dain's certainly a better wrestler, but his gimmick - pseudo-anarchist but also pseudo-Viking but also bagpipes - mutes the hossitude a little. Lars is just a weird ugly guy in plain tights tossing people around and grimacing. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 I love Dain way more than Lars. I could see Dain as WWE or Universal champ before I could see Lars in that position. And I see Dain as the better hoss and monster. Lars is really good, but Dain is on such another level. Caveat, Dain has been at this for longer than Lars so if Lars is already at this level, who knows what his ceiling will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 And just after I type that I see that Lars has deleted some tweets at Lacey Evans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His knee brace is worrisome... but i totally think he has potential as the a Gorilla Monsoon for this generation. Now I really want to see a booth with Lars and Graves.
