Team Thick is a stupid name, but I do like the matching gear and they felt like an old school tag team to me. Both could have some mileage and the NXT tag division is pretty drat cool right now, especially when compared to WWE's basically nonexistent one.

But man, I think it was Murphy, but he got a faceful of high velocity taint from that sunset flip bomb.

Naw that was the other dude. Murphy was on the outside after getting the plancha. I know because I was hoping they'd get the camera back on him long enough to see if the text on his tights was the Misfits font.

What happened to the theme music in NXT? They had some of the absolute best and now it's just been garbage since the first Takeover. Even when they get an accidental hit like with the Vaudevillians, they quickly replace it.

I've always been partial to a theme that sounds kind of like JRPG Boss music, I hope we get another theme like that soon.

Uhhh the Vaudevillains' new theme is way better than their old one. It actually sounds like legitimate silent film villain music now, instead of the rinky dink thing it was before.

Carmella is RIPPED. Those abs are something else.

I thought this would make an excellent Vaudevillains entrance song:

I like Kidd mocking Zayn by wearing his t-shirt.

I hope the Dec. 11 special is called NXT: Redemption and is just a straight-up Zayn v. Neville title match.

Getting put on NXT was the best thing that ever happened to Tyson. He's come a long, long way in the character department.

He's gone from promos being not bad for Tyson Kidd to legitimately good. Shame that they already seemed to blow the chance to bring this character to the main roster.

I miss that Ascension theme.

After Kenneth Cameron got fired and Conor O'Brian had his singles run, there was this brief sweet spot where Conor still had the glowy eyes and ridiculous cape/jacket, Rick Victor just joined him and had black contacts and steampunk goggles, and they were still using that theme and entering to the blue strobes. That was exactly the Ascension I wanted and I wish they'd stopped screwing with the formula at that point. I like their new theme, but they were JRPG bosses, goddammit!

On the other hand I thought the Ascension was real dumb until they dropped most of that. The illusion ended real quick when they start talking, downplaying the gimmick hides it better. hire sinister minister

Different strokes. I loved the outright camp of it. Full-bore on that gimmick on the main roster, I wanted them to fly Viktor's evil airship to the ring at Wrestlemania.

This thread made me want to listen to some JRPG music. And when I clicked on the link in this post, I didn't realize that I had another tab open that was about to autoplay this song. The result was a mashup of the two that left me thinking "Wow, I don't remember this Ascension Theme AT ALL, but it couldn't be more JRPG boss music if it tried."

Wasn't it Alex Riley who called them Team Thick? He's a known liar.

Was that JR on commentary? Man, JR doing full-time nXt commentary would be awesome. I'd even take Riley as his permanent color guy if they did that.

Also, re: Carmella's music - Weird Al parodied it better.

JR was kind of bad and phoning it in on NXT if I remember, he wasn't there long and usually only for the important matches
