They put on two BIG matches to get that, and since PPV buys don't matter to them anymore they may as well. Ripley is ratings!

Ziggy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Its crazy how, when a match is announced ahead of time for RAW or Smackdown it screams angle alert, when a match is announced ahead of time fro NXT people legit get excited expecting a great match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Such a difference between main roster and NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Rhea told SI that she was at that PC struggling to figure out how to execute the Riptide off the ropes, and Cesaro came over to help. Good stuff. I liked the action on this show, but I didn't care for Ripley's post-match celebration. Too inorganic, and the disparity between the mood in the ring and the mood on the other side of the guardrail was glaring. Should have just had Rhea go into the crowd, even though that's a bit overdone at this point too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Cole/Balor was easily Takeover quality. Balor's best in so long. I really feel for Priest/Dain, like who the hell do you root for? The crowd finally decided to get behind Priest, that in itself was a mircale. Who in the crowd pissed Shirai off for her to call him bitch? And Is it me or is Garret a lil off? Like I totally remember her being a bit more snappy before she got signed, now she's doing a lot of anticipation (did she get injured recently?). Grimes... wtf is that german called? That was freakin nasty, should be a finisher. Ripley just going into convulsions was a different way to react to the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just that Io is so much more on point than you usually get from other female wrestlers outside of the top joshi talent which Io is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Mauro did use one of convoluted similes on Wednesday to mention that Io is engaged to EVIL, right? I don't think I misheard that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 During the Cole/Balor match, Nigel quoted Jordan Peterson, then Mauro said "google Jordan Peterson, kids." Around the 12-minute mark. Pretty bad look to tell your audience to look up misogynist/transphobic videos, but it's WWE, so I'm not surprised. Maybe next week, Mauro will tell the kids to google Richard Spencer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more WWE in any way that they can monetize me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Rhea/Shayna was fantastic. I liked Rhea a lot. Too early to wonder how creative will ruin her on the main roster? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil4126 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Honestly I wouldn't want Rhea to leave NXT. This woman is $$$ and I have no faith in Raw or Smackdown not to send that straight to hell. I think my favorite small moment of that match was when the ref went to check Rhea's arm during the clutch and Rhea grabbed him and shot him the mother of all dirty looks. It's just so rare and so refreshing to see the right person dethrone the champion(even though it was long overdue)in a great match for a feel good moment. Kudos to all involved and hats off to what was probably the best NXT episode since the network move 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
