you hear so much about how much everyone liked him that was in there with him at the time. but that doesnt really say anything about his ability. he is pretty good now, however.

I think he left more because of DeMott reasons

I like the Miz in a heel way, I think he is good a bumping around a bit, the Big Show punch aside, and I always enjoy watching him loose

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.

They don't think she is fat, they think she has an ugly face. In FCW they put her in a mask for that reason apparently.

There was a Periscope that Gionna and Nhooph did that was really unwise. They were at home listening to music. The was rap music with lots of swearing and n-words but they would switch it off they would just change tracks to an even worse one. They did it five or six times. Get flustered, look at each other embarrassed and then one would change the track. It then just cut off.


This is pretty funny.

Crews has sort of wrestled the same match 4 times so far in NXT.

It's a solid match and all but i'm not getting the hype so far. He does seem really happy to be there, the evidence of which is him "ah-shucks"-ing his entrance every time he comes out.

I put that on him mostly winning matches that are just to showcase him.

From someone who didn't watch NXT London when everyone else did I gotta say that Emma vs Asuka and Balor vs Joe were both pretty amazing. Enzo/Cass vs Mechanics and Bayley vs Nia were pretty good, and Crews vs Corbin was kind of lacking. If I had to criticize anything its that the out of sync chants just to go and chant 10 was lame. I also think the singalong songs during the Bayley vs. Nia Jax match took away from it as they weren't really sang to get behind Bayley's comebacks/determination and just for the fun of it. In ring criticism would be the arm lock back and forth with Emma/Asuka going a bit long and eventually getting sloppy. Dawson standing there waiting for Big Cass to dump Dash onto him when they were just making a comeback was bad. Nia hitting the big pop up samoan drop then getting up to pin towards the hard came showed how green she is still when she could have just pinned her from where she was. The not pinning Bayley after reversing each choke was because she was in character too tired/couldn't breathe after each choke hold and not her being green. Over all pretty good show.

I will say that it was awesome when Jax shut up the crowd's singing at one point by hitting a big move. Too bad she is too green to know to play to the crowd about that.

The other part was when she mocked Bayley's full body wave she does before a corner splash and got boos for it.

NJPW assumes that Nakamura's run in WWE won't be that long as they'll misuse him and he'll possibly be back sooner than later.

He has way too many credentials to his name to be thrown out so easily. A two-time All-American is not something you come by that often. Even Jack Swagger only had it once and he had a gimmick built around that.

Swayer's probably been through legit 100 different gimmicks and has been in developmental since 2012.

So there was just the one match on the show this week, right? They kept talking about AA/Vaudevillians and Asuka and Bayley, but I didn't somehow miss them did I?

Asuka/Bayley is the Dallas show I believe and the AA/Vaudvillians is probably next week.

He has had a few WWE tryouts in the UK. He was a rosebud once:


He has a quite a good job in education. He'd probably have to give a NXT contract offer some serious thought. Also why don't seem him do tours of US indies.

Was positive he was gonna do BOLA the year all the other British guys came over cuz he teased it on Twitter. Then I got sad.

They didn't discuss Harv Shira v Drew Gulak, Noam Dar v Gurv Shira, Anthony Bennett v Tony Nese, Cedric Alexander v Clement Petiot, or Mustafa Ali v Lince Dorado. They were focusing only on the match-ups they found most interesting.

Does anyone know if those matches have the cool Vs. screens like all the others had?
