I hope Hero pulls a Punk with WWE and just gets them to pay for his surgeries he needs.

Another times are changing story. Traditionally reporting women would be aiming to get leaner and smaller:



Dobson was indeed in need of new gear here:

She actually looked slimmer at Chikara, her legs and arms were pretty thick though. She was a crowd favorite since the announcement of her getting signed. She seemed pretty happy from the reaction.

Are Tino and Riddick Moss a tag team? I could see that working. Also what the hell do they see in Sawyer Fulton to keep trying all these different gimmicks?

It's NXT taping stuff. Both are part of the Dusty Tag Team Classic

No Cedrick and no Garchomp :smith:

(I know Johnny just got married I just really wanted to see them)

Kinda shocked that they're running Asuka and Ember Moon already though.

e: does anyone know how quickly those posters usually sell out? I want to make sure to nab one.

Cedric is doing the Florida NXT house shows.

I suppose you're pointing out how TM61 don't really belong with the rest of that group in the 6-man tag? TM61 is okay, but they did blow their hot tag in the match. Whichever TM61 member (the one with the shorter hair) took the tag was out of position for a couple of his spots.

I happened to attend this show tonight and was super-excited to be able to see Joe and Nakamura wrestle in real life, even though they only worked a small part of the match. Joe is just so goddamn impressive in person. He threw some of the stiffest and loudest chops I've ever heard and his in-ring intensity is amazing. Revival are also obviously excellent.

Also Ember's flying stunner is loving cool as hell.

He probably meant that Main event looked stacked.

A new promo shot of whatever Patrick Clark is doing currently.



If Sawyer Fulton has gotten so many chances to switch around his gimmick and lasted as long as he had in FCW/NXT then I hope Patrick Clark has a long career of changing gimmicks in NXT.

Are Sawyer Fulton and Angelo Dawkins the last FCW originals still in NXT?

Welp Authors of Pain defeated DIY. Revival cost the DIY the match. TM61 then beat Sanity off a flash pin. Dusty Classic finals are AOP vs. TM61 again. their last couple matches were not good.

Any stories about what's happening with the rest of the CWC who hasn't shown up beyond the tournament? I know Ibushi hasn't signed and Tozawa just got done with DG, but I haven't heard much about the rest. Is Gran Metalik still coming? Wasn't Tajiri supposed to have signed? What about Jack Gallagher, etc.?

so, someone posted the first episode of the rebooted NXT on /r/sc today, and, having only started watching wrestling in mid 2014, I decided to take a peek. it is surreal.

hope it's okay to post here, since AFAIK it's not available on the Network: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xroako_wwe-nxt-2012-06-20-hd-full-show_sport

highlights: baby jason jordan, seductive cesaro, what the gently caress even were the ascension at this point wait holy gently caress is that bram, who are these two dudes in a restroom oh my god what

Ascension's Underworld characters and also Fandango and Ethan Carter III sure are different here. Same with Juice Robinson, Tyler Breeze, Viktor pre-Ascension.
