as someone for whom this special is her first NXT viewing experience, I'm just glad Mauro's back, ludicrous enthusiasm and all :woop:

although that invites the question of where the WWE has stowed JBL. Did they just lock him in a disused broom closet until the latest zeal for addressing incidents of major sexual misconduct dies down?

I mean the episodes are like 48-52 minutes on the Network with those 30/60 second ad breaks; I think they just need to stretch out the commercials to usual network TV length and that's a full hour but idk

she can do everything but needs to work on making it look like a match is not someone remembering a step by step instructional booklet with pauses in the middle. Let's be optimistic friends about the chances

Yeah, it was the shortest match that didn't feel like a squash somehow. It's like they somehow compressed a normal length match into a minute.

If they are doing the Dusty again this year, Lorcan/Burch wouldn't be a bad pick to win.

You are already dead
The best part of the Rovert signs was that I suggested we make them for weeks and then finally the day of the show Dave finally relented that it was a good idea and we rushed to print them before we drove down for the show. Then my seat was just barely off the hard cam and my sign didn't get on. I don't even remember what it said.

E: iow, you're welcome Trev

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



is Matt Morgan still a cant miss prospect?

I don't think Matt Morgan was signed. He was recently elected to a councilman position in some town in Florida, which is probably why he appeared.

The tweet doesn't even say he was in ring, just that he was there. He might have gotten comp tickets because he used to be one of the boys and is a local politician now.

Also, rovert, can you at least say whether or not the reason Dream is off the road is good or bad?

Ask a journalist to get an on the record reply from WWE. I've answered the questions asked here the best I can. He's not injured, off all live events and TV and has been verging on 30 days now. People in NXT believe he failed wellness.

He was written off with the lame excuse at a new popularity high. Can't believe people didn't smell BS. Then again Meltzer et al. thought Ember Moon's shoulder injury was real.
