Brian Fowler Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 God damn I love this show. Aiden English is the best gimmick ever. The women's division is amazing. Corey Grades is so fucking hateable. Bring on vegance week! KNOW MORE BO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yeah Bayley is really more developed as a character. At first she was the cute and fun girl but extremely naive and simple minded. Now she is still cute and loves to have fun still but she is realizing how things works as is not being played. It is like the lightbulb went off when Charlotte turned on her. the old Bayley wouldn't have stole the sunglasses she would have nicely plead with sasha to have them. By the way I think Sasha is clearly the star of the BFF especially since Summer Rae isn't there I like the evolution of CJ Parker as the douchey environmentalist hippie who think he knows better but for god sake you don't wear a suit and tie if you are a hippie. The best highlight of Adam Rose this week was Renee Young. When you listen to her talk about Rose you are expecting her to throw wet panties in the ring. She is completely infatuated with everything tied to him. Plus enjoyed watching her dance And Regal realizing that Renee is more interested in Adam than him and the general "oh well lost another one" feeling Everything about Mojo Rawley is forced. I am not saying he doesn't have potential but he is pushed way too much now. I don't believe that Gronk and Rawley are best friends one bit.

BillThompson Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Catching up with the episodes that are on the Network. Watching Neville/Graves, and I have to say, it's been a long time since I've despised the look of a wrestler as much as I do that of Corey Graves. The skinny jeans, the stupid tattoos, and the obnoxious hair all add up to someone I don't care very much to see wrestle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He JUST turned heel -- more an annoying, smarmy know-it-all. Corey Graves was everyone's least favorite NXT wrestler until just a few weeks ago. He was a face and was SOOOOO incredibly boring. But now that he's heel there's been a new Corey Graves Appreciation Society forming. He's one of the few heels who gives us absolutely NOTHING to like. It's glorious!

Go2Sleep Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 So, I guess no one knew that the new NXT went up yesterday? Surprised no one's talking about this show, or at least the main event. Mojo continues to disappoint, and I am never going to stop hating his current match formula/gimmick combo. Breeze/Woods and Graves/Tatsu were solid matches that did what they needed to do. Once Corey Graves rounds out his moveset and gets better at working the early stages of a match, he's going to be a serious player. A lot of matches with Zayn could probably help him along considerably. The divas match was surprisingly good, probably the best Nattie has looked in years. Charlotte reminds me of a less confident Michelle McCool right now, but when she starts to trust her athleticism and not relying on Ric Flair call-backs to get herself over (seriously the name Charlotte is enough), she could be pretty special. The spot where she got stepped on in the splits then dropkicked was nice, and she really ate the discus lariat too. The knee work and submission duel was decent, but Charlotte needs to get away from the figure 4. Use your dad to get your foot in the door, but you've got enough going for you that you don't need to be a non-stop tribute act, girl. Bret looked like he totally didn't want to be there either. The Neville/Dallas re-match was easily the best NXT match since Zayn/Cesaro. Really good counter-based match that both guys seemed comfortable in. Dallas was laying in the strikes, and Neville was bumping and flying as only he can. That superkick and reverse shooting star press or whatever the hell that was looked tremendous. Every time I watch Neville, I can't get over how effortlessly he moves around and the complexity of the moves he pulls off. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say he's the most technically advanced high flyer in wrestling history. He still keeps it in the context of the match, though, and knows when to hit stuff out of nowhere and when to build to a big payoff. Both guys came out of this match looking good, and I hope Adrian Neville gets a nice reign to show his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 The rematch was better than the ladder match a month ago with the story being the guy who won was the first one to hit the other with something they weren't expecting, as opposed to Bo continuously trying a finish that Neville had scouted and was able to counter. Also, the fake out on the ref bump was an obvious Savage-Steamboat homage. It amused me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Is the ring announcer always so stone-face? She was so un-involved. Is there a story behind that? An off night? Or was she hamming it up too much and WWE had to tell her to tone it down? I'm not digging Xavier Woods coming out to The Cat's old WWE theme while running a Fighting Spirit gimmick. I like the guy and was a big supporter of him during his TNA run, but I'm not sure WWE knows exactly what to do with the kid. It's a shame as he is so talented.

TimLivingston Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I loved the main, thought it was actually on the higher end of the NXT spectrum of big matches. Neville isn't afraid to kill himself out there and Bo knows how to ramp it up. I'm not sure how he's going to transfer to the main roster, but I think it's obvious he's found his niche from an in-ring perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Charlotte & Sasha continue to be the weekly highlight of NXT for me. Good little match with Charlotte/Natalya. Enjoyed the main event as well, Dallas & Neville work real well together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGFanJay Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 ....so to speak... I didn't watch NXT after Arrival, so I marathoned it this morning and had a blast. I saw Adam Rose's entrance before, but the whole Adrian Street act works for him, and this is really the best way to do that same kind of goofy stuff while having it work in the modern era. Charlotte is quite awesome, and IT'S BAYLEY is fun. Mojo's got a good act, and Aiden English is at least memorable, but the in-ring for him didn't light me on fire. Bo-Adrian (I DID IT!) was fantastic. Way better than the ladder match, and I hope this leads to Bo saying Adrian has never beaten him by countout or DQ now.

w. josh Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Mojo's cheering section really bothers me. They sit dead center of the hard camera and are absolutely comatose for everything that happens on the show other than that goofy fucker. It is a) visually distracting, b ) a downer, and c) the opposite of staying hyped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
