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.
NXT was pretty good this week, a shame it was so low rated. I half wonder if the olds who don't seem to have moved over to AEW but seem to have disappeared from the NXT audience are actually being drawn off by Survivor.

No: AEW bounces around between 800k-900k: NXT is always near 700k

I haven't watched any of this but Kross and Scarlett as faces against Johnny and Candice sure is a choice.

I know he said he doesn't want to but I could almost see Ciampa getting called up then, seeing as how he's lost his last two big programs.

Also, why did the ref get bumped when the match was no DQ anyways?

I think that was when Ciampa had the visual pin.

Yeah it was this, I was annoyed by the bump but they actually used it.

The editing in the match was insane. They were cutting away mid-sentence while people were talking. And none of the cuts served any purpose, not even to hide impacts or anything.

I guess this cruiserweight title thing is supposed to be like a round robin tournament. That could be fun maybe? Maybe?

If nothing else it's the most efficient way to generate the most television from a limited pool of wrestlers.

Once again, it takes a world-ending plague to get WWE to realise something the rest of the wrestling world figured out years ago.

NXT might be the American show where the lack of crowd is the least distracting, possibly because I already tuned their annoying crowd out most of the time (thank you Ipmact Zone I guess for teaching me how to do that I guess). Fairly decent show again that probably almost no one but me watched again. Honestly with Finn and Charlotte down there the star power is pretty on par with Raw.

Isn't Finn on NXT: UK going for WALTER? or is that plot taking place on regular NXT; I don't even know anymore, I try to keep up with the results but pretty much only watch Takeovers + Preshow which usually give you video packages of why the 2 people in the ring are fighting...

that feud is stalled because NXT UK is dead due to the corona virus and the guys in europe can't come to the US to do wrestling.

Clearly the problem that Johnny and Candice have is they only own a single fork.

I saw highlights of the main event and the best part is that Dexter Lumis doesn't even come out to help, he just magically appears in Dream's corner between camera cuts.

Tozawa has to go with that move right away, he can't stop and wait to see if the other guy does his part well. Because then it's delayed and would look even worse.

if I was being charitable, I'd say it looks like Strickland caught Tozawa under the chin. Which should have been a crash instead of a flip.
