NXT - 31st January 2018 - Thoughts

in #wwe7 years ago

*This will probably only make sense if you've seen this week's NXT

I'm just gonna write what thoughts I have as I watch this week's show.......

Takeover was good

Didn't Almas do well in the rumble.....

Oh we're still in Philly

Oh nice, Tyler Bate tonight!!!! Blatently gonna feed him to Roddy tho....

She's bloody excellent

Lacey Evans about to get her arse kicked

Both these women could probably beat me up

Nikki Cross' feral style is absolute gold

I like Percy Watson on commentary

Nice match

HA, post match beatdown attempt - lovely

You can take the girl out of Scotland.......

I wonder if AOP are gonna end up like The Ascension on main roster

Shayna Baszler reminds me of Nelson from The Simpsons

That was a good hardcore match

Alexander Wolfe looks like Paul Kaye

I'm so on board with Velveteen

I like they are letting TM61 show some personality -
Their persona seems to be go ultra Aussie
They even come out in Aussie rules football jerseys

I don't think the Ealy's have what it takes
They just get beat up all the time
I suspect it's gonna happen again

Fosberry Flop

Crowd seem to be into TM61

TWIN MAGIC!!!!!

The Ealy's kinda look like Usher if he ate his greens

Shane Thorne is my favourite TM61

He powers up like a power ranger

Beautiful moonsault from the other TM61

Textbook

Yeah they got Aussie flags on their gear now and everything

THE MIGHTY DON'T KNEEL

GARGANO vs ALMAS was such a good time - I won't lie I'm not a huge Gargano fan, but that match - and the outcome - ALL GOOD - Also happy when Ciampa and his beard smacked him with a stick......

I love how they are all asking Ciampa where he's been- When everyone knows he's been injured - Rubbish Journalists

Watching Tyler Bate is an absolute joy.......He won't win tonight, still should be good. So young...The future is bright
I don't really care for Roderick Strong, but different strokes for different folks

The Facebook Mixed Match Challenge has been the absolute best

Wonder if EC3 will bring his nan.

Undisputed Era music is so sleazy

Cole Vs Dain next week - I'll take that

Tyler's music is raunchy

Main Event Time!

This match is a bit tasty

So upset about this Kid Rock tune......We're gonna have to sit through him playing at Mania

I don't think Roddy will stand a chance against Pete Dunne

I like that slow german suplex Bate does....

KNEES - - - -- ITS OVER

Fantastic Match

He won't beat Dunne

Sort:  

Okay, I'll comment on some of the comments, in order.

TakeOver wasn't good. It was fucking awesome.

Nikki is SO great. So glad she got to squash Evans.

Ealys are still polishing their act. They'll have their time.

TM61 are great. I suspect it won't be long until them Vs. War Machine will be the tag titles feud.

You're not a huge Gargano fan? How? HHHOOOOWWW? The man is a WRESTLING GOD. Have you seen his match against Candice?

Tyler Bate is a wrestling savant. How is he this good at such a young age? I wish he was taller, so he could get a real main event push. But even without it, he's gonna be delivering amazing matches for many years.

He won't beat Dunne. He also probably won't beat Itami in 205 live next week. He's basically next week's Tyler Bate: The dude who loses on both NXT and 205 Live.

Yeah I knew the Gargano thing isn't a popular opinion.
I don't hate him, and I am aware that he is an excellent wrestler, I mean not only that match with Almas, but when he faced Ciampa in the classic, and some of those tag matches we're epic.
The problem is he's just never connected with me.7
I find his face a bit like a hamster.
His eyes look glazed alot.
The commentators were trying to put him over like the next Daniel Bryan, and I just don't see it.
The brightside of all this is, I am super invested in Ciampa kicking his ass, although I doubt he'll be triumphant in that endeavour....

To me, he's exactly Daniel Bryan, this undersized guy who is maybe the best worker on the planet, putting in the years in the indies and finally getting his WWE shot. I totally get why that's the story their telling.

My guess is Ciampa wins the first match, and maybe a second match. I see Johnny finally winning in TakeOver: Brooklyn IV.

Well, the one thing we can be sure of is that this feud is definately going to be one to watch.

Once it's all said and done though....will they just send Gargano to 205 live?

Before the Almas match, I would have said yes. Now? No. I think he's going to the main roster.

Honestly, I just really hope they do away with 205 soon.
It's helping absolutely nobody.....

Well, they just made a big change in getting a commissioner in. That's a type of story they know how to tell, and I hope it helps. They have tremendous talents there.

I just hope to see alleister black to be on Smackdown. It will be cool to see him feud with corbin.
