Bret selling his soul to Kevin Sullivan in order to summon Owen, Davey, Neidhart, Pillman, Yoko, Benoit, and Dynamite from the land of the dead to wage war against Raw, Smackdown, and NXT in time for Survivor Series might be enough to get me watching again. 3 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarryArchieGus 247 Posted November 9 (edited) I really want to like NXT, but I'm feeling more bored with each passing week. I really like Riddle, Keith Lee, Rhea Ripley, Strong etc. etc. There's so much incredible talent on this show. The booking is logical and fine, especially compared to what I hear of the main roster shows, but I just don't care about any of these stories. I don't care who has the belts and who is chasing them. AEW has raised the bar on product quality, and comparably NXT feels overly contrived. I just cannot take any more of these scripted promos, or the blah in ring style they make everybody employ, or these entrances with the goofy taunts. I think I'll just keep my eye out for the select best bouts. Edited November 9 by HarryArchieGus 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NXT is such a chore to get through compared to two hours of Dynamite flying by. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My first reaction was being scared Jimmy Havoc got released. Hopefully, he'll never be released, but if he were I'd expect him to continue working MLW and debuting in Impact. I don't ever see Havoc in WWE, nor do I want to. Edited November 10 by Nice Guy Eddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He started a fight, in public, while drunk, infront of his boss with an announcer.

Edwin 4,116 Posted November 10 (edited) I just spent 8 hours of my life watching live pro-wrestling. From 4 PM to 8 PM I was at the MLW show and then from 8:20 PM or so to 12:00 AM at the USA Pro show. Surprising enough, I am not burnt out, but am dead tired. As frustrating as it can be to be a wrestling fan, it's always fun live regardless. Both shows were packed. MLW was sold out and USA Pro had a big crowd, too.

I know wrestling isn't like the work world of the average person and Havoc would have other options pretty quickly, but I still don't want to see the guy fired. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sort of feel like Benoit would probably reside in Level 1 of Circle VII though, since that's where murderers are placed.

West Newbury Bad Boy 9,843 Posted November 10 (edited) Seriously. Death match tough guy Jimmy Havoc getting chumped out by a commentator really undercuts the notion that he's a threat. Edited November 10 by West Newbury Bad Boy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
