I still don't know if Nick Miller was TM61 or 62 so seeya, white guy that looks like literally every white guy

As someone with little knowledge of their previous work I was excited for those guys getting signed solely because “the mighty don’t kneel” is a kickass name. My interest dropped precipitously when it was announced they were changing to whatever the gently caress a TM61 is.

We'll always have that sick AOP match, were Thorne was flying all over the place and Miller was just casually suplexing AOP around whenever he wanted

There really wasn't any reason they shouldn't have succeeded, aside from some bad injury timing and getting booking-handicapped repeatedly for some reason. TM61 is also still a straight up Chilly McFreeze-tier gimmick name.

Miller was good, this is surprising but not all that surprising. I think they sort of took up the same space as DIY and just couldn't catch on. NXT's tag division is defined by weak face teams, and strong heel teams that turn into strong face teams, and by the time the Mighty had turned heel TUE had already debuted and there was no oxygen left for anyone else.

TM 61 is Will o the Wisp. Bad move to be named after. HM02 now that would've been badass.

Apparently Miller just had a kid and doesn't want to leave Australia so it's an amicable split.

Rarity posted:Which one is Miller and which one is Thorne? I can never remember. He's the most boring of the bajillion random cruiserweights in UK. I keep thinking that he's going to be nothing more than a huge jobber (and to be fair, I think he lost every single match he was on in NXT UK), but the announcers continually mention him being in some tournament or another. And I think "What loving melted-cheese brain thought 'Tucker' with no surname, or possibly no first name, was a good idea". Decent wrestler, but zero gimmick or presence.

TM61 didn't catch on because they're boring. I don't know if they were Always Bad or if it was just a bad fit but I didn't know anything about them coming into NXT and when I watched them they never gave me a reason to care

IcePhoenix posted:TM61 didn't catch on because they're boring. They didn't capitalise on their chemistry and personality. Haste/Thorne is great when he's allowed to be his goofy over the top self, but they never got it right in NXT. It became circular too, not being showcased because people didn't care, people didn't care because they weren't showcased. Losing the AFL gear sucked, too.

They didn't capitalize on them in any way. Like, they didn't wow in some of their appearances and that's unfortunate, but at the same time their logline in NXT was, what:

My only exposure to TM61 before they came to NXT was their appearances on Talkin' Shop ( ) and they had a lot of charisma and great senses of humor there. But then they came to NXT and they were just incredibly, incredibly bland.

When you all said Tucker, I was worried you were talking about Tucker Knight. Not that I'm a fan, but if they're going to drop Knight, they should do the same to Dawkins and turn Otis and Montez Ford into the superteam they are meant to be.

I feel like they are pressed for time since Shayna shouldn't be in NXT much longer and they need to be(?) with Rousey eventually and Jessamyn and Marina by themselves in NXT aren't going to make an impact and should leave with Shayna.

Shane Haste is such a great name for a wacky high flyer, Thorne was a great last name for a vampire gimmick. Jokey cool dude is a pro wrestling classic.

When they lost in like the first round of the Dusty Classic, that's when I was like "....uh?", became pretty clear that they had no interest in pushing the guys at that point.

Do not even ask posted:I think he was the guy who lost to Tyler Bate in the first round of the UK Tournament, right? I know for sure he did a flippitity-doo or two in the match and everyone in the UK thread was high on him at the time. Tucker is kind of weird. He's based in Northern Ireland and you'd think he would have been a regular in OTT in the south, but he has only done their belfast shows. And he's alright. I mean. He's quite bland, I don't know what to think of him. I was amazed he got into that tournament tbh.
