Blah blah blah blah!!
Not to mention he did the rolling style strike twice the entire match, and the second one was supposed to be reversed so it it makes sense it was a bit slower than normal b cause Black caught Ohno slipping and was able to get one over on him.

NXT tapings this week. Anything big scheduled? If there is it will probably only be Ciampa returning to storylines much sooner than expected or Hojo and others scheduled for the MYC making appearances.

Yeah, the whole story of the match was about who could hit their insta-kill finisher first. Ohno came close with his rolling elbow, but just as he almost hit it Black caught him with the heel kick, and that was that.

I loved that match, will gladly watch it again. Easily the best NXT TV (non-Takeover edition) match of the year.

I'd give you an honest answer (Asuka/Nikki Last Woman Standing and Roode/Strong) but you only show up in this thread to make passive-aggressive posts about meta scoopz bullshit nobody else cares about, so :fuckoff:

I think you mean Kairi, not Io. Also WWE is supposedly backing off on not letting her use the elbow drop, due to the amount of backlash they are getting from it. :shrug:

I mean Io should be in the same boat, since her finisher is a moonsault, and her other finishers are banned moves in the WWE (piledriver based offense), so who knows.
Io is legit one of the best active wrestlers in the world right now though, I feel like she could copy Jericho's moveset move by move and be doing great and Jericho isn't even that flashy.

I hope they let Roddy win, maybe having something big like a title change will make TV tapings more exciting for the crowd; that or they mic up the venue better.

According to the Times of India Kavita Dalal aka ‘Hard KD’ has been selected as one of the 32 names involved in WWE’s Mae Young Classic Tournament

Kavita, a former weightlifter and student of former WWE Heavyweight Champion Dalip Singh Rana Singh aka ‘The Great Khali’, participated in this past April’s WWE tryout in Dubai, and was the only trained female wrestler at the tryouts.

Dalal commented, “I am honoured to be the first Indian woman to compete in WWE’s first ever women’s tournament. I hope to use this platform to inspire other Indian women with my performance and make India proud.”

The tournament will be filmed on 7/13 and 7/14 in Orlando, Florida at Full Sail University and will debut on the WWE Network in August.

Yeah I rewatched it and was being unfair somewhat. I think maybe the match just struck me as weird because it was odd seeing black take, you know, offense from anyone. Anyway, yeah I was too harsh on the match.

Also, w/r/t MYC, I thought they were going to debut it in september so as not to screw with summerslam?

So where does Ohno / Itami go from here? I wasn't entirely clear on the story they were telling with the match setup. Is it that Itami will go after Ohno for being condescending when he couldn't pull out wins himself, or is Ohno also going frustrated heel, or what

I can't tell if Itami is trying to be condescending here or not.

Honestly, I think the two feel pretty genuine when talking to each other, I'd almost guess a team up rather than a feud is coming?

Ohno has got to go heel. He was trying to prove to Itami that you can do it the right way but he got frustrated, talked trash, and still lost. Now they will both agree that honor is bullshit and everyone will die from their strikes.

I suppose if they're throwing teams together they could always do it again with post-loss Roddy and some other face (?) NXT's roster seems stretched all of a sudden

Even if that's the case, they're still the only actively pushed face team on the roster. Even for post-Ryan Ward NXT, turning Itami heel and then immediately re-turning him to fill the tag face gap would be a weird booking move

WWE and I mutually agreed to end my responsibilities on SmackDown having nothing to do with rumors about disputes. As I remained under contract with WWE, we discussed a variety of options. Despite originally agreeing to part ways, there was always a desire to continue working together. We have come to terms on a new agreement that benefits both WWE and me, and I am thrilled to announce I will now be part of the NXT broadcasting team.

Ronallo is a good fit for NXT because he actually tries to do play-by-play and knows most of the move names. He did pretty good in the CWC with Daniel Bryan and I think he'd do pretty well with Nigel too, Nigel is great but doesn't quite have that boom in his voice and NXT has been lacking since Corey left.

quote:

We previously reported that Australian wrestler Demi Bennett had been offered a WWE developmental deal, and was set to sign the contract in Orlando, FL. Apparently, WWE has discovered some of Bennett’s social media posts, where she refers to people as “mongs,” “tards” and “retards.” At last word, Bennett still had not signed her developmental deal, but it was still possible she would be brought in. WWE has had interest in another Australian wrestler, but is also uncomfortable with comments expressed on social media.
