Heretic, please.

I'm quite certain that Ciampa is going to turn on Gargano very soon. Gargano beat him in the CWC after Gargano showed compassion for his buddy, Gargano lost the match for them at Takeover, and NXT has a spot opening for a new rampaging violent heel now that Joe is likely getting the call up.

I think that the tag name that Ciampa chose is even subtle foreshadowing so that he can say, "Do it yourself, not ourselves" because relying on another person didn't work out for him.

If NXT was truly dedicated to pro wrestling, the angle will be started at Johnny's wedding (real or fake).

I would agree, but why have the shirts made if they're gonna break up?

Ciampa stands up for the best man's toast, smashes his champagne flute over Johnny's head and gives him Project Ciampa right in front of his wife.

Re: Tag Teams

The September 2, 2015 Edition of NXT which was taped at the Full Sail University on August 13, 2015 was the start of the Dusty Classic last year so I expect that to start at the next Full Sail TV taping.

This ruled because people who ordered online probably didn't get their shirts before they broke up.

I kind of want Gargano & Ciampa to break up, have a short feud leading to a barn burner match like their CWC bout, then reunite by "surprise" and take The Revival out.

They've got Roderick Strong, the ex-TNA guys and CWC guys to hand so it will be much better than last year in the early rounds.

Johnny has dropped his wife face first on turnbuckles like a dozen times over the past two years so I kind of doubt it'd phase her much

I've been watching NXT whenever I can after taking a long break from wrestling. It's been really fun to watch Roode's transition from a charismaless black hole of suck to half of the joint-best tag-team in the world (although I'd say KoW slightly edged it at the time) to a legit main-eventer. Some people have that moment where it all clicks and they completely change. Roode on the other hand has been steadily improving for years and it's nice to see all that potential finally pay off. He's either never going to the main roster and will remain NXT's big bad or he's not staying in NXT for long.

(I know TM61 exist, but... like, the AoP just obliterated them like job guys. And they weren't clicking with people even before that.)

TM61 feel like they're the tag team equivalent of Apollo Crews; indie darlings everyone's excited to see at first, but they just never get any time or focus so they die. Then again, Gargano and Ciampa were outright jobbers for most of the past year, so maybe TM61 will get their time in the sun next year sometime.

Meltzer said with pretty much 100% confidence that it's a work, yeah, but I hope he's not off TV with a worked injury for too long

still really hate them using a thrown X and a sudden camera cut for a worked injury, but I definitely prefer it to Joe actually being injured

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Meltzer said it was a work. Either way it doesn't matter in the long run.

Worked injuries are really weird nowadays. I mean at least in the past it meant you got a cast to knock dudes out with during an interview leading up to the match or whatever.

Has to be a work. Joe's Samoan and jaw is part of the head. Probably a cover for how bad his face hurt Nakamura's knee.

Well, considering it's Joe, it's very likely he knows the feeling of having an injured jaw.

NXT is real good and worth my :10bux: each month.

At the first NXT house show I ever went to I saw Becky, Sasha, Bayley, Alexa, Finn, Itami, Jason Jordan, Enzo & Cass, The Revival, and Tye Dillinger at the very start of his perfect 10 gimmick ringside for :20bux:. It's unreal to look back on that.

mmm when I look at the rosters, I feel like the needs of the rosters aren't really met by what NXT has. Both shows could use more women, but I don't think there's anyone ready unless they just decide to elevate random house show/undercard people like they did Braun.

There's plenty of NXT undercard mainstays they could bring up as jobbers, but they don't have a need for more jobbers. Maybe they send Rich Swann up quick to fill up the Cruiserweight division?

seems like Swann and the other cruisers might be on both Raw and NXT for the long-term, but maybe standouts will get a permanent call-up. and tino sabby is coming, per big dave (batista (not that batista, just my friend named the same))

Yeah Tye should be in the next round of call ups, and I hope he goes to Smackdown so him and Breezango can be the best stable. I think Aries comes up after his feud with Itami.
