Go2Sleep Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I don't know how Indi Hartwell fits in, but Johnny and Candace as Austin Theory's parents is pretty damn funny. The main event angle is lame, but the NXT midcard is on fire right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Bron Steiner. It really isn't fair. Sounds like a final boss in a video game. It's too bad they already have Braun Strowman which means they'll probably give him a totally different name that sucks.

AxB Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 On NXT-UK, they're running an angle where Sewage Treatment wants a shot at the Cruiserweight title, so he's trying to get in shape and drop the exgtra 30 pounds. Can't be easy for him at his age, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) The Network is showing a Takeover on Thursday April 8th as an incentive not to cancel if you go to the cancellation screen. Makes sense in the overall picture, a last minute test for an exclusive Peacock PPV. But man Wrestlemania week(s) is gonna be just way overkill this year. Mon April 5th | Raw go home show Wed April 7th | NXT go home show Thu April 8th | NXT Takeover Fri April 9th | Smackdown go home show Sat April 10th | Wrestlemania Night 1 Sun April 11th | Wrestlemania Night 2 Mon April 12th | Raw after Wrestlemania Tue April 13th | NXT after Takeover **(rumored Tuesday night move starts here)** Fri April 16th | Smackdown after Wrestlemania Edited March 3, 2021 by NoFistsJustFlips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Quote PWInsider is reporting that WWE is mulling over a decision on holding a two-night NXT TakeOver on the Wednesday and Thursday prior to this year's WrestleMania. If the plan comes to be, that would give WWE six straight days of programming between Wednesday and Monday with two nights of NXT, SmackDown, two nights of WrestleMania and Raw. The PWInsider report said the first night of TakeOver would be on USA, its final one on Wednesday night, with the second night available on the WWE Network. At that point, it's believed the Network will be available on the Peacock streaming service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofuture Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Rumor is NXT Women's tag titles are imminent. They definitely have enough talent to justify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 On the surface that sounds like a good idea. But it makes me wonder if the point of the tag titles was to be defended on all three brands then creating one for NXT unintentionally gives the impression that they're not worth challenging for the main titles. I'm sure this week's episode gives some reason for it but something about that just doesn't seem right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason its happening is probably a case of Vince having a death grip on the titles despite the shitty booking he does of them on the main roster. Meanwhile NXT's women's division is the strongest division in the company and has the talent to pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 How far away are we from Raw & Smackdown having their own Women's Tag Titles? Neither taking a stance for or against that by the way. Just find it interesting WWE is INCAPABLE of booking floating titles. Couldn't make it work for The Undisputed Title, can't make the Women's Tag Titles work now. Just separate everything entirely and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I think the Woman's Tag Titles on RAW kinda works because they have the extra hour. Yeah you could argue that NXT only has two hours as well, but that's less significant because the booking isn't based on necessarily having all the same people on TV every week (plus the CW Title is basically a prop for Escobar anyway). Pete Dunne reappeared 4 months ago looking a lot leaner anyway. There's always tricks abound with these before and after shots (e.g. water weight), but I'm not really sure that he actually benefits from being borderline shredded anyway. Doesn't have any pecs to speak of either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's going to have Big E's boobies no matter what he does. Either way, Dunne is an interesting case to me, since we are pretty similar in stature. I doubt he weighs 200 lbs at this point. He has a couple of inches on me. I'm fully with you on the fact that these photos have certain tricks to them, I know, because I wouldn't be caught dead sharing a photo without using them. I do find it a bit suspect how fast (relatively speaking) this transformation took place. The vascularity in his arms looks abnormal (which basically just means I can't get mine to look like that, ever), but what he has attained is within natural bounds, I'm just not sure if it can be achieved in 8 months? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Whilst there's been accusations about Dunne's natty status underneath his tweet, I tend to think that somebody with the guidance he has access to that he could probably achieve that, for a moment in time at any rate, without use of steroids, test or whatever. I'd be surprised if he's 190 at this point. Obviously this doesn't matter in NXT that much when the main-event is O'Reilly, Cole and Balor - but for me the whole point of being the 'Bruiserweight' was that he was built to go rather than for show. Now he's a 7th place in a bodybuilding contest guy. Okay, that's a bit harsh..I do appreciate he will have worked hard to achieve that look, and I wouldn't be able to do it, I'm just not sure it brings much to the table in terms of being Pete Dunne, NXT wrestler. I kind of think the same about Trent Seven's weight loss as well, but I get that as somebody who's not getting any younger he's looking to cut weight - and at least it's building to a match with Devlin. He's also, let's face it, not on Network TV. Edited March 6, 2021 by RunningFromAmerica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Yeah, it does take something away from his previous aura, in which he looked like a school-yard bully in a fake-fur vest and a singlet. The current look may help him if he ever gets demoted to the main roster, but I guess he would have to maintain the current level of cut and still "find a way" to ADD maybe 30 lbs back into his frame. He could ask for those pounds Trent has no use for, but he'd need it to be lean muscle mass, and Trent can't help him there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
