Vaudevillains worked best when they acted like heels and got cheered anyway. Their loving name is the Vaudevillains the gimmick doesn't work otherwise!!

Yeah, I thought they reached their absolute peak during their title feud with the Lucha Dragons with the ridiculous 1920s vignettes.

I don't really feel like the Vaudevillains fit in NXT at its current state. It was good for developmental but they're lost in the shuffle now because NXT doesn't really do niche comedy gimmicks. Their ceiling is always going to be a comedy tag team regardless of where they go for as long as they have that gimmick. It's fun, but it's very one-note and "1920s strongman" doesn't leave a whole lot of room for character development. I do feel like they'd make a fun stable with Sandow on the main roster though.

Gotch should just get called up solo as "Strongman" Simon Gotch. He could make a good comedy midcarder working the Vaudevillians gimmick.

The London Takeover will be airing live at 3 p.m. ET. I wonder how that will affect the viewing numbers since most people are still working by then.

Is Nia Jax going to make it to the main roster? Does the power of being related to The Rock overcome being a woman over 30 in Vince's eyes?

I like how Bayley became more aggressive as she started to fight for the championship and now that she's defending it, that's pretty cool imho I don't know if pre-champion Bayley could have done her finisher on Blake (or was it Murphy?) and run after Alexa

Gotch could totally have growth. He could ride out the 1920s Strongman thing real hard, then slowly get introduced to more modern forms of exercise. It'd be like a reverse Bull-Fit; Gotch in his old-timey gear doing crossfit or a tough mudder marathon or something. I mean, it's not a TON of growth character-wise but it'd be an easy way to get him out of the 1920s Strongman gimmick if they chose to do so.

A series of vignettes where Gotch strongmans his way through modern exercise/athletic events could have great potential, seriously.

They're certainly investing a lot of time and effort into her. She's tall and they're selling her as strong and seems to have some charisma. But she is on the older side, and, well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZqo4OZ0Pqs

They say Whay they're about then they don't do any thing else. AJ Lee going from competitor to GM to pass around girlfriend to best diva on the roster? Daniel Bryan going from losing the WHC, to having good tag matches with Kane, to becoming the people's champ? None of the current people on the main roster have any story of importance. Maybe Rusev coming in as a brute; gaining Lana, the support of Mother Russia, and the US title, then moving on to feud with Dog Ziggler. Not the best story, but at least Rusev got mic and ring time. I enjoy NXT as much as the next person, but they don't spend anymore time than the main roster on establishing character. People have gimmicks, everyone hears about them from live event reports, so when someone like Tye Dillinger comes out doing the Perfect Ten thing; the crowd already knows and is eager for it. Tye didn't get much promo time to establish it, the internet geeks were ready without it. I think Adam Rose was part of this problem. People get hyped for something but can't stay hyped. The promo time they give Mojo just reinforces that the Hype Bros are bros and does nothing to really help them; just keeps the character in a holding pattern.

Mildly surprising considering he hasn't been an active wrestler this year and his links to Hunter. Bet he's re-hired a year or so from now.

Wait. Since Billy Gunn had a big hand in hiring James Storm, is that why Storm doesn't have a contact yet?
