I wouldn't mind it that bad, since we get so many of the big matches on the weekly show, as is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Yeah, considering that, I guess it doesn't matter how many PPV level shows they have. If the weekly show is supposed to be a Big Show then nothing is really special anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 KUSHIDA vs Velveteen Dream has been added to the card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Well I like both the NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship matches. Hardly any interest in the NXT North American Championship match. I certainly won't be watching KUSHIDA vs. The Velveteen Dream. When I do watch WWE TV and Dream's on, I turn off.

Greggulator Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I have not watched NXT in a while. But I saw that they are teasing some kind of mystery returnee apparently? The two names I saw pop up were: Bobby Roode. I loved his NXT run and can get being that. Bo Dallas. We have never needed him more. His run with the title was so formative in the early days of what made NXT so great. His running around the Full Sail campus to avoid security was the best. NXT got stale for me when it became “A redux of indie leagues I never watch with really repetitive but fun matches.” We need a major character who may not be as good as (enter name of indie wrestling person here) but has an insanely good character and plays a great doofusz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) WWE is offering this show on Traditional PPV to try to get extra $ because of course they are. Comcast has a $55 price tag on it. Edited October 4, 2020 by Hail Sabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 At first glance I thought they were working with Capitol Wrestling which explains why Velveteen Dream was added to the show Really the only interesting thing on the show is whether this is the start of the Undisputed Era breakup and we get the O'Reilly vs Cole feud or we wait.

For Great Justice Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 That show WAY over delivered. Kudos all the way around. I was expecting a bottom tier Takeover given the lukewarm build and they went and put on a solid middle to upper third event. That was the best Takeover main event in three years and a MOTYC. What a joy to be away from the Cole/Gargano/Ciampa formula. Great show tonight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Liked how they not only had Toni Storm show up on a video screen to challenge Io, they threw out Ember Moon after her too. So you have those two and Rhea after the title. The women's just keeps getting deeper. Finn/O'Reilly was a great war. Any match where working on the liver is the central point of the match is A+ in my book. I'm trying to figure out what 80's pit fighter movie HHH must have watched, but I like the fight pit feel of the CWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I'm never subbing to the Network again, but I'll find any eventual Toni Storm vs Io or Io vs Ember (or Ember vs Toni) matches. Those will be barnburners. I don't care about anything else in NXT. The women's division as of late has been kind of lacking, IMO, and this makes up for it A LOT. Loved Ember's dig about the Bo Dallas theories on Twitter, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Moose Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 This overdelivered. I say this as someone who thinks that Ember-Asuka was a really great match - I really hope Ember's taken time to work on her character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem with alot of the current talent especially on the main roster. Unless that person has enough creative freedom to express their gimmick the way they need for it to work there will be a disconnect. Look at Keith Lee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
