Peck Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I’m not going to be able to watch this for a few days(unless I get a decent WiFi connection on this Southwest flight tomorrow) so yinz can discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 That Tomasso promo was a thing of beauty. His best promo yet. I have finally come around to likinng the UE. Roderick and Kyle are embracing being toolbags. Lacey Evans rules. The main event was really fun. Nikki Cross is golden. Bianca Belair is going to be incredible but she is still really green. They did a great job at storytelling - just have Nikki be lovably crazy and Bianca have no idea what to make of it but still acting cocky when she has the advantage. Great pull apart at the end. Excited to see what they can do if they get 10-15 minutes at Takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Ciampa's promo was good. the tsuff with Heavy machinery later was fun. Loved the Regal/Ohno interaction. That was the most I've enjoyed a UE segment. Nikki/Bianca was so damn fun, probably the most I've actually enjoyed any of Bianca's matches. Really I just dug everything on this episode.

supremebve Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Do you guys remember Johnny Gargono and Tomasso Ciampa's first promo when they debuted on NXT? They spoke like they were reading a ransom note in their second language. Both of those guys have become really good on the mic since then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyLaw Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What are you talking about? Gargano already has the main roster “Face comes up short and looks stupid in the process” thing perfected. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 It's Tazz?!.....oh Ciampa has music now. Seriously though, Ciampa is kinda getting turned by half the crowd. It's a mixed reaction without doubt, but it does feel like they are at least teasing the double-turn with Gargano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quackhell Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I much preferred Ciampa's theme being the boos and jeers of the fans. While I could see a double turn happening I really don't want it. Ciampa is so good at being a despicable bastard and he needs to get his comeuppance as a heel. Nikki Cross is too good for the main roster. I dread her call up, but maybe just maybe they won't screw it up. Narrator: They totally screw it up.

Greggulator Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 We should have a generator where people can just insert “will be ruined” after any NXT name is mentioned. That would streamline the whole process entirely and maybe we could get into talking about NXT as it’s own product and not who is going to be “ruined” when they are called up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one comment. We do plenty of talking about NXT as it's own product without you getting all pissy about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not easy avoiding such comments when the WWE track record is so abysmal. Let's see: Joe, Finn, & Nak pretty much survived intact. Of course, all three guys have over ten years experience working all over the world. So far, Almas is fine, and hopefully will remain so, Sami went from the most beloved wrestler in the whole company to a non-entity and now they seem to have nothing for Kevin Owens to do other than get squashed. It's not like they've done anything to inspire confidence. Don't even get me started on what they've done with Asuka. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 To be fair, Owens has had a 3+ year good run on the main roster but you can't push someone forever. He's a pudgy heel, what do people want here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ohno being the indy darling litmus test is a solid role for him to take as a player/coach type to help newcomers adapt to the style. The Riddle program should be a lot of fun.

I’m not sure what it says that Izzy of all people was cheering Ciampa during his first promo after winning the title. 7 hours ago, quackhell said: Nikki Cross is too good for the main roster.

It’s not necessarily that they’ll screw her up, but WWE main roster doesn’t do nuance or subtlety very well. Watching her match, I couldn’t help but get flashbacks to Alicia Fox dumping out sodas and stealing JBL’s hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Cezar and his new stache look so damn familiar... Note to self... how to confine Nikki: put a couple well lit metal pipes in the middle of a room and tell her its a prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Bones Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It’s funny how some are seeing a double turn coming. I’m firmly onto a full Gargano turn to the dark side and a heel DIY reunion. I am so smart! S M R T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
