That whole ejection sequence is great. KOR and Fish sold the hell out of it, then McIntyre did the Suck It. :lol:

wow, yeah, I had no idea they were airing Cole vs McIntyre tonight!!

did they air anything else "new"?

I think we're getting a Gargano interview.

It's a two hour show, in case that wasn't clear.

I wondered what he meant by "a goof", and, well.

Hey. He got tossed by Owens.

I like to link these whenever AJ and NXT comes up, 'cause he's pretty adamant that everybody should go through NXT, not just to learn how to Hard Cam Good, but because he envies the sense of family they build down there that he kinda skipped out on. When he explained it, I thought it made sense.

"Ah yes I am very sad I missed out on making less money and uprooting my family..."

Then again AJ is a giant moron so he probably does think that.

I know it's part of your hilarious and not at all played out gimmick that you have to take the piss out of AJ literally whenever he comes up so people know how Wrestling Woke you are, but he doesn't say "boy I wish I'd gone through NXT", he says he thinks it's an important process and there's parts of it he envies.

This is a bad idea, Candice should be her own thing on TV instead of just "Johnny's wife"

More likely she'll be a "surprise" Rumble entrant to pop the Philly crowd

imo it's fine but only if Johnny is then in Candice's corner for a match against Iconic and Billie Kay spends the whole match annoying Johnny.

it'd be neat to have a face husband+wife team doing well in two different divisions but it's wwe so it would be hosed up in some way by, like, day 3

like if johnny wins in philly and they have him with the belt out to support his wife as she is fighting random undercard people in her way up the ladder that's kind of a bad look cuz of the imbalance

Well, when you're right, you're right, we'd better have Candice win the women's Rumble and Gargano win the men's, then have them win the Raw Women's and Universal Titles. It's the only possible solution.

Nothing is going to illustrate how messed up Vince's 'gotta work the dirt sheets, gotta be a SURPRISE!' notion is than the reaction Ciampa's gonna get when he comes out next Saturday. Literally every person in the arena knows it's going to happen, and it doesn't matter, because it's the way the story has to end.

I agree with you in principle, I disagree a little in this particular example. We know Ciampa's gonna show up, but we don't know how. Is he gonna attack Gargano to cost him the match, or is Gargano gonna win and then Ciampa jumps him while he celebrates, ala Owens attacking Zayn or Cole attacking McIntyre?

(...is Ciampa gonna be healed by Mania)

I think when he left, the prediction was early 2018?

TM61 had a very good match with AoP (that was justifiably overshadowed by DIY/Revival 2/3 Falls) and I vaguely recall they were headed into a feud with Revival before they needed surgery? That probably would've been starmaking for them.

Like, I don't care one way or the other but I'm very willing to give these two the benefit of the doubt, purely because NXT's Tag Team Division can't seem to stop hitting home runs, so why would it stop now?

That stuff seems to just do gangbusters in general, which kinda makes you wonder why they never do it on the main roster!

It's time to once again talk about my genius idea to regularly cycle talent through the main roster and NXT to keep match-ups fresh and cut down on wear and tear since most of these guys live in Florida anyway.

"Asuka buried the NXT Women's Division" is the easiest way to spot someone with bad opinions on wrestling.

Okay. I stand corrected.

Almas worked 32:22 on Saturday and 28:20 on Sunday. I know most of the latter was spent in the corner getting wailed on but still, goddamn.

They made both NXT Champions look like badasses and the other NXT guys got to get their poo poo in at least. It's some of the most respect the main roster has EVER given to NXT.

I did love this but it came right after Trish also clowning on Sasha so it didn't stick out as much.

It's a very minor complaint for what was overall a real fun night. I can't believe they gave the fans what they wanted... twice!

I can't believe they put two Japanese people over.

You guys are the dumbest. Ember is a good worker, but her finish blows chunks to this guy. Guess wrestling isn't for me, since I disagree with a finisher looking good.

I'm sorry that your bad opinion got rightly dunked on for a few posts and then you kept coming back for more so it kept getting dunked on. Who could've foreseen this outcome in The Comedy Website Something Awful Dot Com Forums of all places?

Gargano and Almas got Hunter his snowflake and are now probably made men when he's in charge. Vega and Candice too.

NXT is in better shape than in 2016, when the first draft kinda blindsided them and gutted a top-heavy roster. There's way more depth now and a lot of talented people just waiting for spots to open up, so I'm not nearly as worried about a mass call-up this time around.

It wasn't just the draft. NXT got hit three times in less than five months in 2016.

I wonder how they will differentiate Cole and Black's Extreme Rules match last Takeover with the assumptive Ciampa and Gargano non-sanctioned match at Wrestlemania weekend.

Beating someone to death with a crutch is completely different from beating someone to death with a kendo stick/chair!

I finally watched this week's NXT, and Mauro's "NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!" as Johnny got pinned might have been the most anguished I've ever heard a wrestling commentator.

It's like the inverse of JBL shrieking "NOOOOO!" as the Authority goes up in flames or Ambrose accomplishes anything. How slow the count was really added to how gut-wrenching it was.

Like, the ref's count was so slow and Gargano had kicked out of the DDT before I thought MAYBE....nope.
