The flips are second to none but I'm not big on Ricochet's work on the mic, the crowd seems super into it tho so maybe it's just me.

Ricochet projects confidence in every single thing he does but he's so good that it doesn't come across as arrogance, so people want to cheer him. Relatedly, Dream changed his twitter avatar to a Prince Puma mask. I love this feud.

He's actually improved by quite a bit within the past few years. Lucha Underground didn't even let him talk at first, and then he started working on promos and is passable now. Since he has to learn WWE style production now, he'll likely improve even more, which is probably why he's starting in NXT.

Baron Corbyn posted:Probably better preparation for the main roster schedule than back when it wasn't a touring brand though. Eh, I dunno. This trip seems way rougher on the body than the main roster schedule. The main roster tends to be set in the same general area for multiple weeks at a time at least. Where here, you are going from the US -> Europe -> US -> Europe again in the span of a few days.

Wasn't the UK show supposed to JUST be a UK show and not NXT, but then they rebranded it because tickets weren't selling? I imagine that date kind of came out of panic mode and wasn't intended for much of the roster, if that's the case.

And even left Shawn's appearance ambiguous to the degree that a yokel might think he's Wrestling.

DarkstarIV posted:I guess she got sick a lot, apparently, which is why they cut her. At least that's the rumor going around. Rovert may know more. That's pretty much it. From scratch female trainees often break their wrists or end up hurting their shoulders learning to train. You can't miss as much time as her in your first year. Always seemed nice and heard no bad reports. She wants to wrestle on the indies but we will see about that. She had a reasonable profile as a model for magazines and hip-hop videos. Cynically they fired an Asian girl to make way for Io Shirai & at least going by the roster page they fired three African Americans to make way for Keith Lee. Demetrius Bronson an ex-NFL player who had major concussion issues and seemingly the Gabriel and Uriel Ealy too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lW647QaJQE Casey and I noticed Eric Bugenhagen hasn't wrestled for NXT for a long time and according to his Instagram he's out for 3 more months. A big bodybuilding dude who had a pre-NXT rep online as being a bro-tastic lunatic.

Given this is WWE I don't disbelieve you in the slightest, but is there actually a cap on the amount of money (or I guess signees?) they can have down at the PC? It's pretty notoriously not a moneymaker in the immediate sense but I understood they were fairly keen to have a large amount of people down there?

As of two weeks ago, there were 98 wrestlers on the NXT roster. About half are either simply training and not on shows or just injured.

It has been emphasised to me that he's a good dude beyond his bombastic personality and is working hard to rehab.

Lee might be true, but no way they fired a Chinese girl to make way for Shirai. They are DESPERATE for a Chinese wrestler to make it, and Asian means literally nothing in this context. Somebody was saying the Ealys probably isn't true anyway as one of them was still there and the other one had the wrong picture or something on his page previously.

If the reason they're desperate for a Chinese star in order to expand in China then I'm pretty sure Zeda would be a bit of a political minefield in that regard as I'm fairly certain she's Taiwanese-American. She was here visiting family over Christmas anyway.

Realized via social media that Bianca Belair and Montez Ford are a couple and that may be my favorite wrestling couple of all time. I hope they both find all of the success in the world because she's a drat beast and he's got unlimited potential as long as he doesn't get killed by the big WWE machine (he will, someday).
