mmm when I look at the rosters, I feel like the needs of the rosters aren't really met by what NXT has. Both shows could use more women, but I don't think there's anyone ready unless they just decide to elevate random house show/undercard people like they did Braun.

There's plenty of NXT undercard mainstays they could bring up as jobbers, but they don't have a need for more jobbers. Maybe they send Rich Swann up quick to fill up the Cruiserweight division?

Rich Swann was advertised during RAM, he doesn't count. Or maybe he does and the answer was just really easy. Or maybe Rovert is hinting at a callup coming before September 19th.

Is tonight just a clip show like after Dallas? I could do with skipping it to reduce my wrestling intake a little bit before the CWC.

No Cedrick and no Garchomp :smith:

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.

How did Tino look? Seems like he is getting more work in front of crowds. As for the posters, it probably varies by show. For Indy I think only the signed ones sold out, but it was a tiny show.

NXT live show thought dump

https://www.instagram.com/p/BKgsNLshgHW/

Austin Aries wrestled his whole match against Itami dressed in this (yes even the headband) and it was amazing. The finish involved him being pantsed, GTS'd, and Itami using the Zubaz for leverage.

After the match he went to attack Itami while he was posing on the Turnbuckle and tripped and did a faceplant.

Ty and Roode was possibly my favorite match of the night (that or Asuka/Ember), Roode won but Ty got the "go home happy" spot after the match when Roode came back to attack him. He also had a great new spot where he stomped on both of Roode's hands and then did the "Ten" chant/motions in time with Roode shaking out his hands.

I still don't know who Riddick Moss is but he did ok, I think he'd fit in pretty well in the NXT midcard as a generic heel. The match was good. The crowd loved Jose, of course. Nakamura's entrance in person is awesome.

The crowd was definitely dead for the Dash/Orange TM61, I think everyone was deflated about not getting to see the Revival. It was also the first match after an intermission.

Tino needs to stop spamming the taunt button. Swann seemed like he was holding back, but it was still a fun opener.

TheHock posted:

The primary reason for the booing was probably because Minnesota was seen as the front runner for getting WrestleMania next year (new football stadium, renovated basketball arena for RAW/Hall of Fame, a former WWE employee is booking the non-football events for the stadium and they're looking to book bigger events in preparation for hosting the Super Bowl in 2018).

It's more "it was basically a done deal and then a vikings stadium PR guy mentioned it in an interview before WWE officially announced it and so Vince had a temper tantrum and moved it."

I'm trying to figure out what you mean by that last bit. Are you saying less people might watch NXT because of the CWC? Wouldn't that draw people in, due to having a few NXT guys in?

He's probably referring to the fact that people were skipping NXT due to burnout and wanting to watch the CWC.

It's what I've been doing, at least. I can only take so much wrestling in a week.

Andrade would really benefit from a heel turn. Teaming him up with Cedric, then turning him after a loss would be the easy and cliche way to do it, but at least it's something to shake him up.

Definitely, he was working a bit heelish at Takeover and looked way better.

They should make it so when it hits 0, the countdown number shows on screen, then goes back up to 10 then Tye's theme starts.

So they should just use his normal entrance?

With the CWC over I'm assuming NXT viewership will pick back up.

Also I'd say the tag division is just as bad (if not worse) than the Women's division right now.

It's super cool to see Ride Along doing so well in the VODs, I love that show.

If the rumors are true how much will NXT be an expense to WWE if they go to live weekly shows?

People are just misinterpreting the image about the tiered network prices. It means that when a show is aired for the first time (every wednesday) that is the "live" airing.

Is no-one watching NXT any more? There were 19 unread posts in this topic when I clicked it. It's a shame, I thought the Perkins/Ibushi vs. Ali/Dorado match was pretty decent. At least better than what they're letting the cruiserweights do on Raw. I still can't like TJP though.

I don't watch it live for various reasons (most recently playoff baseball, and starting last night the nba as well) but I generally watch it at some point during the week.

I'm gonna take a bullet for Rovert here. Well, not completely because I'm spoiler tagging it.

Ember Moon has a match on this set of NXT tapings. I assume it's next week but they've already aired stuff out of order from the tapings.
