THIS IS WRESTLING chant is really bad in general, but much more ridiculous on a WWE promoted event.

I'd barely consider NXT "sports entertainment". It's a wrestling show. But yeah I see what you mean. Still "THIS IS WRESTLING" is chantable and easier to shout in unison than "WE DISAPPROVE OF THE GENERAL CONCEPT OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT AND VASTLY PREFER THINGS SUCH AS THIS!"

NXT is really everything the product should be. The turn was really so awesome because we all got caught up in the excitement of Owens debuting as a face. And then everyone went "Daaawwww" when he hugged Sami, thinking it was just a touching moment. But all the clues were there from the very first promo. They planted the seeds of jealousy but then gave you enough to make you think that the seeds were misdirection. Charles Gnarwin fucked around with this message at 06:12 on Dec 12, 2014 |

It's a good decision too, because the only guaranteed heat in NXT comes from feuding with Zayn or Bayley. If they wanna make Owens a heel from the get-go...

I haven't gone through the thread yet but the rovert signs were me and Fart Radio. I had the idea for when we went to the tapings but then didn't get in last month and eventually he came around so we made them this time. Glad you guys appreciated the nods. Holy gently caress that was exhilarating and I totally lost my mind all night. In the most important news after the crowd was leaving the ring before the turn, Dubstep Cowboys walked by and I shoused "you guys loving rule" or something and Wesley and Buddy both looked at me and pointed and gave me a huge grin and a thumbs up and a thank you. Tomorrow is gonna kick so much rear end.

Still smiling over that ending as so many were calling it a perfect ending, Sami being hugged and raised to the sky on everyones shoulders and confetti and he's finally made his dream come true. He had overcome temptation and had beaten Adrien fair and square. He was the champion. Everyone was in joy. But deep down we knew it wasn't perfect. There was one thing that would have made it actually perfect. And then    The ending was perfect. Lid fucked around with this message at 07:01 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Has WWE ever given a guy more "CHEER THIS MAN" superstar, for lack of a better word, epic, packaging as quickly as they've given it to Finn Balor? I mean, maybe Wyatt but god drat. That entrance tonight was Mania tier and it was in developmental.

It wasn't so much WWE packaging the guy as it was them letting him do what got him over. Wrestlers overall have trouble figuring out that a good entrance and theme are important.

Also his new theme puts Real Rock 'N Rolla to utter shame, haters vacate.
