SirSmUgly Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I've seen a good amount of Robbie Brookside. Shamefully, it's only because I built my first successful EWR promotion on Hard level around he and Onyx to the point where I decided to watch as much of these guys as possible out of curiosity. Actually, EWR piqued my interest in a fair number of workers who I may not have watched very much of otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Note to self: Do not try to rib Tyler Breeze in front of the cameras, because dude goes for the throat. "Dur hur, your gear is goofy."

Trocar Slush Weasel Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This shit is not working again this week and my fix from last week isn't working this week. What are y'all using to watch because PS4, Chrome and Firefox are not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use either the laptop or PS4 most of the time. Entertaining episode. Yeah, Josh might want to start listening to William fucking Regal if he wants to make it down there. Yeti sucks. It's always sucked. Let it go, man.

EVA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I really expected someone to step in and smarten Josh up to the fact that there already was a wrestling Yeti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I use my PS4 and my ROKU stick, and other than occasional stuttering during ppvs, I haven't had problems on either in months. On the rate occasions I use my Fire TV stick it sometimes struggles with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think I would watch a show that's just a camera set up on Adam Pearce marking out at gorilla. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 That was another thing. That was fucking cool. We got to see everyone standing around marking out and shit at one another's performances. They all seem to be having a great time in NXT. I want to see a little more focus next week on the tryout/new class apart from ZZ and Josh. Let some others get some shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't say this enough, but THANK GOD FOR WILLIAM FUCKING REGAL. I've watched every minute of Tough Enough, every minute of Tough Talk, and every minute of Breaking Ground, so literally every minute of Josh's WWE career that they've shown, and I still have no concept of what The Yeti is other than a big hairy dude who makes a stupid noise. Now, Josh seems weirdly determined to keep the stupid name, but at least he showed some personality in defending it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanChessgame Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Do people who are still there on a tryout basis actually get paid, or is it just treated like an internship/audition type deal? I've never really been clear about that, especially considering the whole "independent contractor" nature of the business. It's pretty much like they're attending a performing arts school or training program and getting to use facilities and attend classes and not actually out in front of an audience generating any revenue for the company. The way they've been treating ZZ so far makes me wonder if they just gave him the developmental deal with the intention that he'll eventually wash out while provide some drama in the "will he or won't he start taking it seriously?" angle. Something to add more of an ongoing storyline plus kind of making an example out of him to other hopefuls of what happens when you aren't prepared to make it in the business. About the only aspect of the show I'm iffy on is the way they keep teetering between maintaining kayfabe and just acknowledging all the people on there are performers playing roles with the way they just refer to the non-developmental people by their gimmick names. Last week's segment with Dayna Brooke was a prime example of this where it was like they couldn't decide if they wanted her to stay in character all the time or not. Or maybe Dayna herself didn't know how she wanted to play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 No more Josh or Dana Brooks, please. Otherwise the show was enjoyable, and add my name to the list of folks that are thankfully Regal is there to be the voice of sensibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't think there's any way I could take Josh or ZZ seriously if they ever made the main roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I didn't watch Tough Enough, so I'm sure that I'm saying what other people have already said, but Josh looks like white Roman Reigns. Josh/Roman Reigns vs. Cena/Darren Young might collapse the fucking universe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people understood that they mixed interviews with the real person with promos of Dana Brooke from earlier this year. That could be seen as confusing. But I don't think she was being fake. And I'm gonna trust Sara regarding the real person behind Dana Brooke. I also saw somebody say that she cares more about looking good than being proficient in the ring. Well, she went from one job where appearance is the #1 priority to another job where appearance is in the top 3 priorities. And for her character, I'd argue it's #1 or #2. If somebody had told me months ago I'd be defending Dana Brooke today, I would have flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trocar Slush Weasel Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 This shit is not working again this week and my fix from last week isn't working this week. What are y'all using to watch because PS4, Chrome and Firefox are not working. Ok, so FF to 5 minutes and then back didn't work. Neither did FF to 8 minutes. I had to FF to the end of the episode, let it sit there for about a minute, the rewind back to the opening credits where it started going haywire to get this working on PS4. Other thoughts: Not only did Josh (seemingly*) disrespect William Regal to his face, but Sami Zayn as well. Sami specifically said don't get married to a character and he ignored him. Foreshadowing (* I suppose it's possible that funky editing was responsible for that) So is this show also around to show who's doing who? I'm just gonna assume that Cass and Carmella are together, which I didn't know. How long before Sasha/Mikaze and Bayley/enhancement talent are out on a double date like a Total Divas episode. Great episode for giving Baron some babyface rub after the heel episode. TBH, I felt sorry for him dealing with that drunk at the bar. I wonder what would have happened if there wasn't a camera around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We'll see next week, but I don't think Regal saw it as disrespect. I think Regal was nodding at the end because it was a much better promo, and he was getting some more of that "fuck you Imma be me" inside of him out.

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think that segment was just meant to give Cass and Carmella some air time and they came off as nice people. Every time they show Carmella she's happy as can be, you can tell she really loves it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I feel like if you don't know enough about wrestling's past to know that there was already a Yeti that is universally known as one of the worst bombs in professional wrestling history, you shouldn't have a fucking contract with the biggest wrestling company in the world. It should be a test they have to take first or something. "Describe The Yeti in three words or less" and the correct answer is Mummy Ass Rapist Dana Brook sounds like the mom from Bobby's World Big Cass is totally giving Carmella the D in real life right?

Phantom Lord Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I can almost see them sticking with the Yeti thing because Vince probably loves it. HEH HEH I LOVE THAT THING...DO THE CALL. COME ON DO IT. DO IT DO IT PAL. I watched the first two episodes over the weekend and it's an interesting show. Baron Corbin is such an A-1 Jerk it's great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
