Match was a little messy, but those two are pros and covered the botches really well.

Still wish Dakota were champ instead.

That Dakota/Mercedes match was heatless. Also all three women involved are heels. God, putting the title on Raquel is starting to look more and more like a mistake.

I feel like wrestling could do with a ton more promos like that one Pete Dunne cut. Straight to the point, establish yourself as a bad man with your eyes on a title, call out a bunch of top guys, throw in some specific personal history, good stuff.

As far as I know, no, they just had a teaser image that was weirdly close to her brand. Because it's not gimmick theft if everyone hates the person you're stealing from, I guess.

NXT really is being booked like Raw and Smackdown these days. KUSHIDA loses to Pete Dunne then he wins the Cruiserweight championship then he loses a 6 man tag. Up. Down. Up. Down. Who could care?

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I liked the show this week. It was very wrestling heavy which goes a long way for me, and the main story right now of Indie and Dexter remains fun.

Opening match was a complete banger, although too bad about the ending.

Sarray and Zayda had a fun match.

Closing segment was also a banger. This was probably the right result, as much as I've enjoyed Ember and Shotzi; the problem being that woman's tag division suffers from just being a constant whirlwind of events over the past three months that nothing has time to really breathe, but so much of the show is around Candace that it makes sense to me for the belts to be with them.

I'm already looking forward to the cringy-as-gently caress interviews that can be boiled down to some racist "look at the silly foreign person who has a different first language than the rest of us" promos with Saree.

If you do a drinking game where you take a swig every time they mention sushi or sake, or do a haha-larious knee-slapper of a joke about how "she no speak engrish good," during a promo involving someone Japanese, most of the time it'll be the last thing you remember before you wake up 3 towns over with a massive hangover.

Really enjoying the micro bits my boys Everrise are doing on NXT, they're the best.


P.s watch their everrise live stuff on Saturdays on twitter or facebook or whatever, it's literally a 10 minute flashback to pretty much every conversation we have together (yes, all our circle of friends talk exactly like how they do in their show, it's hilarious)

Can someone post a streamable of the Everrise stuff? I love their weird energy so much and only wish they were putting it to use in a company/on a show I actually watched.

Breezeango vs MSK was decent.

Wow we haven't seen the Young Bucks in NXT in their "Ever Rise" personas since they won the AEW championship, I guess they are belt chasing now too .... . . . . . . . . . . . .

Leon Ruff did the move where he necks himself on the ropes and then does a clothesline again! 41 minute mark. Okay for a squash match, Leon Ruff is such a great underdog.

Hit Row has potential but dear god stay away from the main roster.

Ted and Grimes are so good.

Kushida vs Escobar, my DVR cut off after the second fall. Seemed good to that point?

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.
Ever Rise have a lot more depth than "Young Bucks" but you never really get to see that in NXT. I think...They've also been around about the same amount of time

They've been around longer, and have COMPLETELY different styles. They're not even brothers!!!

The only passing resemblance is the gear and it's a tenuous one at that.


The bucks are high flyers, my boys are promo guys.


Sorry, the Bucks/Everrise comps is always good for a solid trigger hahaha.

It's a small miracle Quack let them do what they did in CHIKARA, 2.0 -> Badd Boys -> 3.0 into getting the first pin on their monster tag-team was such a great run. Shane is so good at the pseudo cocaine fueled Scott Steiner promo with Shane as the translator and I think the only promos I've seen from them were on 205 Live and web-exclusives.

They're so drat good in the ring too

Like I said in the WWE thread, NXT has some of my favorite wrestlers and manage to make me not care about any of them.

drat I thought my pretending I think Ever Rise/Young Bucks are the same people was original material. I guess not. I will have to let that one go if people do it a lot.

Next you are going to tell me that there are other people who pretend Corey Graves is CM Punk.

Franky looked good in her debut.

Not a ton of wrestling on this show.

Main event was decent. Finn is working so hard to make Kross look good while still looking good himself. I guess I never really believed they were switching the title here though.
