Jordan's ring work has always been really crisp and clean, even when he was in that short-lived team with Dillinger. Based on Takeover Brooklyn I think he could be Ken Shamrock 2 in terms of yelling dudes who are fun to watch

That was seriously one of the best NXT episodes in a long time. Great wrestling, progress in several angles, and no segment on the show was a waste or some kind of filler.

Is Nia Jax actually The Rock's cousin or is it through that Samoan "blood brother" thing where they work a work and work themselves into a shoot? Marks.

If James Storm does nothing else than teach rookies how to cut a promo like they mean it, he will be worth all the money. His interview this week was great and he actually looked at Tom the whole time instead of that weird stare into space a lot of them do. The actual content of the promo was a lot of nothing but he really sounded like he meant it.

I thought the story was that Storm is holding out for more money but WWE is happy to just sit until he caves. Which shouldn't be long, given TNA's current state.

Charles Gnarwin posted:I think that the best thing about Chad Gable is that he debuted as a heel and is now a massively over face without changing a single thing about his character. He's still a self-aggrandizing, dickish goofball, but he's just so undeniably great that people can't stop cheering for him. Call him up as the token white member of New Day.

Illinois Smith posted:It's gonna be interesting to see how his heel act works in a promotion where "this main eventer CHEATS and has people INTERFERE in his matches" isn't some kind of anomaly. He should reenact the "HAI" promo with whoever is interviewing in NXT these days. It would make no sense and be hilarious. But really if he wants heel heat in Full Sail, it isn't hard. If he acts above the crowd (no too sweets, no crouch in the corner, etc.) they will boo him hard.

When I caught this week's NXT, I had a thought during the Bayley and Alexa Bliss/BAMF interviews: I'm possibly reading into this too much, but I wonder if they are consciously evoking a specifically schoolyard bully theme. Alexa has these great snotty heel mannerisms and the blonde cheerleader look along with her beefcake bodyguards, but it struck me during Bayley's promo when she said that Alexa had "changed" when she started "hanging out with [the] boys." Since Bayley is very popular with the young girls in the audience (along with anyone else that enjoys good wrestling), I wonder if this storyline is being written specifically with a middle/high school journey in mind. I know every heel/face thing typically involves some sense of bullying, but this just feels like it intentionally could be taking place at Anytown High School. In a good way, mind you. Or maybe this is just some form of my gender bias when seeing a blonde bombshell versus a side-ponytail lovable dork feud.

Nhooph made her in ring return last night. First match in two months and after the social media scandal: https://twitter.com/Manic_Pineapple/status/659904709197758465 Billie Kay, Aliyah (Nhooph), and Emma v Marley (Gionna Daddio), Adrienne (Athena) and Bayley. I wish they mixed up the male roster like this experience wise.

Bayley angles have often been written like that. Emma and Dana stole her things and hid them. It's actually an extremely nice touch.

For a company that likes to think its gears itself towards kids, Bayley is the only non-Cena character that is actually directed towards kids. She could make them so much money if they weren't shortsighted and habitually moronic.

Emma's probably the number one heel with kids. She totally beat up that chick from Frozen this week.

I can't figure out the nxt naming scheme for women. Who gets last names and who doesn't? Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, Dana Brooke, Nia Jax, Peyton Royce, Charlotte, Emma, Asuka, Aliyah, Marley I can't see any pattern.

Charlotte at least makes sense because she continues that wonderful thing like Curtis Axel and so forth where they acknowledge their second generation stars as such but don't let them use their recognizable last names.

Sure, and it brings up a good question of how you book two women wrestlers feuding over something that is both low-stakes and relatable and do it in a respectful manner.

Dudes stealing belts, jackets, urns, dogs, etc has been storyline fodder for decades. Wrestling characters in general are childish as hell.

I just watched this yesterday Bayley puts her over strong at 9min 30sec mark. In the best way possible she set the record for the most amount of tears after a debut match. She wants to be a success in Wrestling really badly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJdY290p8Xk On the subject of interviews. Afterbuzz also did one with Balor. Finn's best media interview since he was signed by WWE. Really relaxed and happy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7gQqe6Pnmk Unfortunately there's a lot of background noise in both videos.
