Dolfan in NYC Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This and next week's show are in the can, so the performers are probably going to be doing marathon tapings tonight, because Florida's about to go on lockdown for 30 days. On tap: TRIPLE THREAT MATCH FOR THE NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP - Keith Lee (c) vs. Damian Priest vs. Dominik Dijakovic Velveteen Dream vs. Bobby Fish LAST CHANCE GAUNTLET MATCH FOR ENTRY TO THE NXT WOMEN'S #1 CONTENDER LADDER MATCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Sam Roberts is slightly more tolerable when you don't have to actually look at him while he's talking. Edit: I take that back. That nasally voice is stomach-churning. Edited April 2, 2020 by Peck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Roberts needs to never be given commentary again. He isn't straight up terrible, but his voice is just kind of offputting in general and makes the bad moments worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm just over the whole bickering commentators trope. It's just annoying and ends up as noise. Right now, NXT really needs to add some personality and energy into the show. Everything is so sullen and lifeless, they really need to let their wrestlers show some personality.

Eivion Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) The gauntlet match was pretty nice, especially as a showcase for Shotzi. Wilde getting kidnapped like Mendoza was slightly amusing. Throughout the triple threat I couldn't help but think while there is plenty of neat stuff here it just feels moronic to have it done w/o a live audience. I just wish they would stop doing these shows during the current pandemic or at least focus on skits and promos. I just find myself wanting to ff during most of the matches.

He's lucky he has Jim Norton to carry him on their radio show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 We might think that Mauro is annoying and way over the top but I still think he is doing to put over the product in the ring. Sam Roberts was all about getting himself over trying to be a new Corey Graves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turk128 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Dexter Lumis is just that much more creepy on an empty stage. Probably the best Purrazzo match to date. They did a good job pacing Blackheart's eventual lost to Kai. The most I've seen out of Kushida in NXT, he seems way more comfortable against the lighter guys. Also, the one time the commentators were genuinely entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Also I know this isn't a big deal but after watching Dakota Kai I have to wonder what is in shorter supply in Orlando: paper towels or hair extensions. It looks like she doubled her hair in about a month. Never understood the WWE obsession with hair extensions Dexter Lumis character is awesome but he is just still not there as a wrestler. That I guess version of the Big Bossman outside the ring punch was just laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @hammerva glad I'm not the only one that was shocked at Dakota's extensions. Beyonce should be jealous. It's always jarring seeing wrestlers post stuff on IG or twitter and seeing their natural shorter hair and then seeing them wrestle with those extensions.

turk128 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ever since her heel turn, Dakota has had wild extensions/hair styles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
