The pre-sale tax were largely godawful nosebleeds (Aside from a few who magically got front row?) so we are expecting/hoping they are going to be better today.

I managed to snag a 6th row seat during the presale. Woop!

As much as I want to see Nakamura and Asuka stiff-kick peoples' faces in, Ticketmaster—the money-grubbing scumbastards—have reserved the first few rows of every English date for their 'platinum' bullshit and scalpers on GetMeIn—hey, also owned by Ticketmaster—took the rest in an unannounced presale, so I'm looking at £200+ to get in the first ten rows of an untaped house show. For reference, the first 5 rows or so of TakeOver London were about £110.

Thinking I might just pay an asian hooker to stamp on my nuts for ten minutes and get the same effect for less.

Yeah ticketmaster suck rear end and should be investigated. I had a spare U.K. NXT ticket that I sold on stubhub last year, as my friend couldn't come after, and the amount of charges both parties see on that site is unbelievable. Like, the seller may see about £50 from an £80 purchase.

quote:

Asuka made Peyton Royce tap out to the Asuka Lock. Before the match, Eva Marie came on stage to announce she had “stolen” the Women’s Championship Belt, and Asuka could get it back if she were woman enough to put the belt on the line the next night (tonight) in Columbia. Not really the squash that you might expect. Peyton got a fair amount of offense in, but the finish was never in doubt.

The story I was told was that they forgot to bring the NXT Women's Championship. Eva held something wrapped it in a towel and passed it off as the title.

Also this:

quote:

Interesting to note, Finn wore trunks with just the word Bulletproof across the back. He also held up a sign after the match that asked “Where are Doc and Karl?”

Samson's new to the gimmick so there's a slight chance he'll eventually find his footing and turn people around like Corbin. Riley has been actively terrible for years now. It's not an easy pick, but I give it to Samson by a hair.

I kinda feel like the team's run its course since Alexa's by far the most interesting part of the stable. They have no real direction and NXT is good at retooling people to get them over. Alexa/Murphy as a RL couple unit could have plenty of mileage, while Blake could probably benefit from another tag partner. I can see either of them being in sort of a Jason Jordan situation.

I don't know if they need to break up necessarily — team BAMF is still pretty great and there's probably a lot of stuff they could do with them. But they feel a little lost in the current shuffle without a lot to do, kind of like the Vaudevillains.

Well, they did debut on SmackDown, so at least they have a chance to have a feud on the main roster instead of being forgotten about on NXT.

BAMF is a great utility team that got lost in the shuffle because their deal was being good as a team and then the Revival came along and blew them out of the water at their specialty. I'm not really sure where they go from here because AA will likely hold the belts for awhile, so there won't be a need for building up face challengers. Maybe try a Buddy singles run as a heel with Alexa as his acknowledged girlfriend?

It's because her and Cass are dating and Vince hates happy people.

She does need more ring experience though.
