Pete Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 @Rev Ray and I saw a special screening of "Gaea Girls" at the Museum of Natural History back in 2000. No joke, people were walking out of the movie after they showed how badly Satomura wrecked Saika's face with that dropkick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Finally caught the Walter-Dragunov match. Haven’t seen any pandemic era NXT UK as I gave up the network but it’s on the free version. Firstly the arena setup looks shit, the mini thunder dome thing which went off halfway through and the logos/belt pics everywhere are ugly. Not sure how limited they were based on UK restrictions but I wish they’d just spread 20 or so of the roster around ringside to add a bit atmosphere. The match lived up to the hype and was as brutal as talked up. Only thing I disliked was Dragunov’s 619 rebound clothesline as it just doesn’t look like it generates any extra momentum. Loved the desperation of the sloppy running knee towards the end when he realised he couldn’t hit the headbutt again. This was how you do an epic where the near falls really feel earned (plus they weren’t overdone). Also really like going from one last big near fall straight to Walter just choking him out.

If I were in the UK Women's Division, I'd be looking up what Japanese is for "You're taking the piss!" and make sure to turn and run if she ever says that.

RIPPA Posted February 6, 2021 Author Share Posted February 6, 2021 The WWE put a best of Meiko in PROGRESS playlist on the Network It is only three matches (all from the 2nd half of 2019) - vs. Jordynne Grace, vs. Dani Luna and vs. Jinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shartnado Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This was a good episode. Connors getting stuff to do now that Jinny failed another attempt at the title is ok. Hate to see Xia lose, but they try to heat up Samuels (any relation to Sha, then?) yet again. Let's see for what, this time? T-Bone looks amazing. Bit baffled by Ilja, is he turning or just turning up the intensity up to 12? Rampage vs Joe Coffey makes plenty of sense. Calling Coffey unapologetic on commentary less so, from PR perspective, at least. Devlin vs Bomber was good, but Dave Mastiff, JTTS, is not something I find very appealing. He deserves better.

DreamBroken Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Thought Meiko looked great in her debut, fun little five minute match. Love her being introduced as the Best in the World. Her and KLR is gonna rule whenever it takes place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 The opening match was Sha Samuels vs A-Kid for the Heritage Cup. Round one, Samuels goes 1-0 up with a submission. Advert break. Come back and the commentators are talking about how A-Kid was saved by the bell and the tap happened after the round had ended. And then a graphic comes up saying it's round 5 and we're tied at 1-1. Not sure what the point of showing a match is, if you edit out most of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I too watched Regal's kid. Quick thoughts: Lots of potential. I like what he chose to focus on, what he chose to do. Lots of extended hold sequences with hang-ons like I've been seeing in old Catch, though it was all too fast. When it's that fast, it takes away some of the sense of struggle and some of the sense of frustration in trying and failing to escape. It may seem more impressive physically but it ruins the effect. On the other hand there was a certain awkwardness as the match went on and they went into other things that actually increased the overall sense of struggle because it made everything seem less rote and polished spot-wise. It made it seem more like they were trying various things to get the advantage on one another and that they all work. In 2021, that sort of thing comes off as interesting and novel. Lots of potential. Bate was very very giving, far more so than he had to be. Good on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Boss Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 well Meiko/KLR was a real banger but I sure was hoping for a different result. I thought KLR might retain with shenanigans but was hoping it wouldn't be clean. Seems strange to bring in Satomura only to have her lose so quickly. Really good match though. Ilja/Gradwell was also great - Ilja basically doing the old Ken Shamrock gimmick works for me. He's probably my frontrunner to topple Walter atm. Was skeptical at first but Noam Dar hosting a talk show could have potential, he had me chuckling a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Really good show this week. Kenny Williams cheating to win is building a storyline, I am far more likely to be entertained by Noam Dar talking than wrestling, so the Supernova Sessions is the best use of him. Meiko-KLR was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Mastiff being a happy, smilin' jobber kind of sucks. I know Tyler Bate is still booked as somewhat of an 'Ace', but it still makes me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Tonight's UK main-event was sort of spoilt by NXT. A bit of a shame. Trent Seven definitely looked leaner, credit to him - don't think he should be wrestling cruiserweight anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's odd that they did this weight loss/ body transformation angle, but he only had like a month real time to do it, so he just got a bit leaner. And he probably wasn't really 230-ish to start with anyway. He's not a tall guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the ref in that match should be fired though, obviously his vision is better than the job requirements dictate. He saw Devlin's foot outside the ropes at the three count. They shouldn't be able to see that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Finally started trying to catch up to NXT UK before Peacock makes everything screwy. mostly focusing on the omen for now along with some WALTER. Up to mid October and just caught WALTER/Wolfe vs. Dunne/Dragunov. That was so damn great and has me looking forward to the eventual match between WALTER & Dragunov.
