Yeah that was great heel work on Bliss, which helped let the Vaudevillains come out better as faces in that match from their comedy heel background. Thoroughly enjoyed that match and result.

So I'm assuming the Vaudevillains/BAMF feud leads to some old-timey lady wrestler debuting to even the odds? I was curious as to why they would do the tag title match on a regular weekly show, but that's the only reason I can think of for holding it off of Takeover: Brooklyn since there's not nearly enough time to build a new tag title feud.

Oh, also - what's the deal with Uhaa? They ran packages for him for like two weeks then just stopped mentioning him at all.

WWE heard my cries for a deeper tag division in NXT!

The 3D Codebreaker and Grand Amplitude are such good tag finishers and I look forward to a whole crop of serious contenders. The main event was really good for establishing the Vaudevillains as more than just a comedy team too.

Yea they need themselves a woman (or maybe a midget since WWE rules seem to allow midgets to wrassle women) to beat up Alexa Bliss because they looked helpless out there tonight after the Chi-val-ry chants led to Bliss humiliating them

Uhaa is too good so they're holding him off until after Takeover so he doesn't make everyone else on NXT look like the jobbers that they are.

I hate baron Corbin and Dana Brooke and not in a heel way, in a "get the gently caress out" way. Emma deserves better than being paired with the worst voice ever, and this combined with the poo poo from total divas had me convinced that Emma's life is hell.

I'm not sure why everyone is so low on Tyler Breeze, he's a capable wrestler that plays his character well and the gimmick of "2015 HBK" doesn't strike me as a death warrant. Like all things in wwe, the question is whether they push him.

It'd be kinda funny if the Vaudevillains could take on a flapper as a valet just so they could finally do something about Alexa.

Supposedly a post-Takeover debut and push. He just got an entrance theme and he's working house shows as Uhaa.

He's catching the recipient with a backdrop suplex into a pinning bridge. I thought they made it look good.

It doesn't look like he's doing much more than cradling the guy as they come down. The pinning bridge looks good though, for sure.

I think the miz is a great example, he isn't bad on the mic/commentary/ringside and he's decent enough in the ring that I want him to stick around so I can watch big crazy muscle monsters beat the absolute poo poo out of him. Bray Wyatt probably qualifies, because I enjoy many of his matches but I'm pissed as hell when he provides the gently caress finish in other people's matches, which is pretty basic heeling. I blame the bookers when it happens, but that's just me being a smark rear end in a top hat, the reality is that I hate Bray Wyatt for dicking over my favorites and I want him to get axe-kicked in the junk in the middle of his Voldo pose.

I think this forum (myself included) is predisposed to liking heels, in no small part because they have far more personality than the typical WWE face. Sometimes the change is jarring like how New Day is amazing now that they're heels, especially with little touches like Big E doing some kind of aggressive claps when they distracted this week.

edit: The best example might be John Cena, the #1 Face and #1 Heel of the company. I don't want him to never wrestle again, I want my heroes to beat him clean in the middle of the ring.

Good episode. Enzo/Cass jobbing to legitimize another tag team was amazing, the kind of booking WWE should try sometime.

I hope the Vaudevillains get a female manager soon. Specifically, Blue Pants.

In what way is it weird? Jordan throws a dude at gable and he catches him and slams him.

It's actually the perfect tag finisher, because it looks crazy and dangerous and is also probably the safest move in the company.

The name's pretty brilliant too. A grand amplitude throw in FILA rules results in a tech fall, which automatically wins you the round (so it's literally a finishing move).

It looked better last week when they debuted it. The guy taking it has to remember to bridge right on impact, and this one didn't. It's supposed to look like a catch German.

but I don't want WWE to fire the Miz 'cause he is good at what he does, big a heel

Toru Yano is a heel but is also terrible and I do not want to watch his matches

Toru Yano is a face like Eddie Guerrero at this point even when he faces mega faces like Tanahashi, Okada, and Nakamura. Like his heeling is mostly just to get laughs.
