Go2Sleep Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Joe/Balor extreme rules or whatever would be fun. They definitely need a gimmick since it's the 3rd straight takeover they're main eventing. NXT doesn't run a lot of hardcore type matches so it feels pretty special when they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 We got Joe/Aries in Spokane Saturday night and it was a straight up war. They went 15-17 minutes that saw a VERY close near fall after the 450 splash. Austin looked great and Joe was fucking KING SIZED. In other news, Alexa (vs. Asuka) and Nia (vs. Becky) looked better than I've seen them look. Nia borrowed heavily from Sasha's "CRY CHILDREN, CRY" playbook. If I remember right, Bayley won with a cross body from the top. Alexa looked like a legit threat. Her offense was good if not great and sold like a champ. Great show all the way around and easily the best wrestling show I've seen live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match needs a stip in it. So what are we thinking. Cage or loser leaves? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwegian Rudo Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Some moron goes to a Florida NXT show Some interesting clips, including the first time I've seen the Authors of Pain gimmick. They look fairly good, though the masks seem silly and unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with an arena brawl setup, it'll probably be a street fight or falls count anywhere. I think those two could do a really good last man standing if they wanna combine everything for a definitive feud-ender. The loser leaves stip could be tacked on to anything, but it seems unnecessary since it looks like Finn is heading out soon one way or the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hate each other so much that it starts in the back, as Bayley's coming to the ring for her match, so we get a fight through the wacky arm inflatables. Bayley winds up having to watch Finn get choked out, and then has to Rise Above Hate and Hulk Up to beat Nia Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamn right. NXT is exactly what I've wanted since JCP went out of business. God I missed this stuff. I never thought I'd find myself praising Triple H for much of anything but NXT is pretty much wrestling heaven for me right now. Great live, great weekly tv, off the charts good specials. Yup...I'm all in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Only thing missing is the blood but I am sure they will pound the hell out of each other. I know Joe has had some good cage matches don't know about Balor/Devitt though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 I am more interested in how they are going to pull the setup off as there appears no way to hang a cage above the ring in Full Sail before that match. I would be kinda excited if we had 15 minutes of hype, interviews, etc.. while they built the cage (like in the 80s) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go2Sleep Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Here's a question I was thinking about the other day that I'll put here to generate some discussion: What's the best network-era NXT match that doesn't have Sami Zayn or Sasha Banks in it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for Antonio Cesaro vs. William Regal from NXT, 25th December 2013. Honourable mentions to Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe and American Alpha vs. The Revivial at NXT TakeOver: Dallas. Also Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens from Beast in the East/NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I loved the hell out of Regal/Cesaro. Regal's promo in particular was off the charts and I loved the story they told. Random thought, but when Nakamura finally makes his Wrestlemania entrance, I will accept nobody else to play him out than this woman: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
