The worst idea I'm currently giving out for free is that they need to do it in AEW but with Britt Baker's team vs another team and a dentist chair. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 If he did a real jackknife he'd just chuck Chucky into the rafters. Chamber of Horrors should have HHH in the chair as punishment for whatever Vince is mad about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 well, at least the Frankensteiner did more than the 2nd rope bulldog attempt. And it's time for the cooling off process for Bron probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 That main event can kick rocks. Ciampa tapping in 5 minutes to the recliner was the only viable ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 also, this has probably happened on some WWE shows I didn't see, but they're not doing pauses/stops on accidental blood anymore? I'm guessing that very newish Bron Breakker wasn't given a razor and told to get some color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 So they have every challenger win except the person that has real main event potential? Never change WWE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I mean, the WWF/WWE and the Steiner family haven't exactly worked together for long periods of time, either with both of them in 93/94, or the Scott Steiner run in the 2000s. But yeah, jobbing Bron clean is pretty dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Hell of a carry job by Ciampa. He was almost at Cena levels of loud spot calling at some points. Bron losing might mean he's possibly being fast tracked to the main roster. I wouldn't be shocked if they debuted him at the Rumble.

Cobra Commander Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 after I noted my disagreement with the ME finish on another board.. I got to hear about how this was a strong loss that he'll build off of... and I also I got someone saying that Bron was already the babyface and he would have been booed if he had won. Which, I guess I need to watch more NXT because I didn't think Bron was a face but more of a heel that isn't a total chickenshit. I mean, if they were pushing him as a face already, he'd be a little bit lamer, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) The ladder match was good though I thought the finish was a bit flat, especially with Io taking that bump right before it. Mandy/Raquel was nice and probably the best match Mandy has had in her career. Kind of torn to see Dakota back. I thought she would move to the main roster. Imperium vs. MSK was good. Kind of surprised to see Imperium as champs again. Ciampa/Bron was solid. I thought Bron looked good with that finish. I'm curious if he gets fast tracked to the main roster or beats Ciampa in a rematch around Wrestlemania time. 1 hour ago, Cobra Commander said: after I noted my disagreement with the ME finish on another board..

He has been well liked by the crowd and would have likely been cheered over any one else save Gargano. DIY are the most over guys in NXT aside from Joe who is out right now.

Steventon Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 Fun show from what I saw Opener was very much My First Tag Team Ladder match stuff. Shirai getting wrecked on that bump was bonkers. The rest was whatever, at least no one got hurt Surprised they had Strong go over Jones, he feels like he fits the mould of guys they've been letting go of, but they set up a rematch nicely Gonzales vs Rose was fine. Toxic Attraction feel like a good act, can't say I have much interest in more of the Gonzales vs Kai feud and I worry about what they'll do with her after that MSK vs Imperium was good fun. The lumberjack bits were pretty tired but the actual wrestling was good stuff and I was surprised at Imperium winning. They also felt like guys potentially on the chopping block Main event was good stuff with a great final minutes. You can easily put that rope slip from Bronn down to kayfabe inexperience and they recovered well. Thought they did an awesome job at the end making him look like a future phenom without putting him over, which is the right move for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 (edited) Ratings went up, (yes I know Halloween Havoc) 746k (0.18) Edited October 27, 2021 by D.Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 having ratings go up against Game 1 of the World Series (which got 10.8 million viewers and a 2.52) is a positive outcome. Overall, NXT finished just behind My Big Fat Fabulous Life and Vanderpump Rules in the demo. They tied with the CFP Rankings Show, NBA Pregame Show, and Welcome to Plathville with 18-49s. Also NXT beat Hannity among 18-49s. Chucky got 352k and 0.13 on USA, and 330k/0.15 on SyFy. Cable is weak enough where if Chucky aired on one network and got half of the viewers from it's airing on the other network, it'd be in the top 10, instead of 27+35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) This was about as good of a show as you could hope for with 2.0. Opening ladder match used the relative inexperience of everyone and Io's blatant lack of self-preservation to produce some disgusting spots. TA winning is the right call. Jacy always looks like someone is shouting her cues at her just off camera during her entrances, but Gigi and Mandy are on fire right now. A women's stable with an "all the gold" gimmick is new to WWE, and it gives Kacy/Kayden someone to chase down. The backstage stuff was mostly cringey, but at least they didn't miss the obvious Chucky/Steiner call-back. Roddy/Oddesy was good wily vet vs. young powerhouse tv match. Mandy/Raquel was fine, although everyone having to pretend to be shocked by Dakota Death was fairly stupid. Kinda tuned out for the tag match. Not sure why Imperium needs the belts or what they can do with them. Dunne/Holland seems like a better choice if MSK is moving on, which they should. The main showed exactly why Tomasso was the perfect choice for the last of the old guard. No way he'll get serious MVP consideration this year, but his work with Ridge Holland and Bron were 2 spectacular carries that deserve mention. One other note is that I'm surprised with how over-produced WWE shows are, that they let 3 matches on the same major show end with running knee strikes, although they all made for good, credible finishes individually.
