NXT from Full Sail University DISCUSSION

[Tapout]

Pretty sure Cassidy has been over purely for teaming with Enzo but I could be wrong there as I haven't watched in a while and last time I saw him was when he was having a singing contest with Aidan English.

Paige/AJ has the potential to be good no doubt, but biggest since Trish/Lita? Not even close i'd imagine.

What would you say would be the biggest since them? Mickie James was good but really didn't have a counter part. Closest with her would have been McCool.

How dare you forget Mickie/Trish

How dare you forget Mickie/Trish

Mickie/Trish was just a complete rehash of Sable/Tori... with two divas who actually COULD wrestle.

Trish/Lita was good, but Trish/Victoria (also a rehash of the Sable/Tori feud) might have actually been better.

 

[Chris]

English/Sheamus was pretty damn good on this week's episode.

Next week's looks pretty stacked with the Dallas/Neville rematch and what not.

 

[Chris]

This week's episode was damn good. Neville/Dallas was a good main event and the other stuff was nice too even if it was rematches for the most part. Graves/Zayn next week.

 

[The Cork]

Last weeks was great, this weeks was meh, so many nothing squashes.

Quick Cork approved checklist....
- Enzo & Cass might be the most charismatic guys in the company, so over in that small room. I don't want them to go to the main roster and get jobber entrances and no mic time.

- Sami Zayn's chase for the title. I could watch him and Neville all day, shades of RVD/Jerry Lynn in their ring work with heavy reliance on counter moves. Loved them on the Indys too before any you homos call me a hypocrite.

- I like Baron Corbin, doesn't really have the look of someone you'd expect in his role, 20 sec squashes are usually for the powerhouses. I like the crowd spot where they count how long it takes for him to win, then WWE totally ignore it and knock 10 seconds off.




The following are NOT Cork approved....
- Hideo Idami. Don't know what he was like in other Feds because I don't watch dumb Jap rasslen but he looks like he's struggling to adapt to the WWE style. Plus his feud with Ascension is just random.

- Renee and Alex Riley on commentary. I like Albert and the new broadcaster type guy is fine but these two are annoying fucks.

- Tyler Breeze. Johnny Nitro ripoff. Also a smurf.

They've done a good job building Kevin Owens, fka Kevin Steen with these video packages. The newest one tonight (too lazy to find video) but it talks about How he's wrestled and beat Seth Rollins, "But they called him first..." Ditto for Daniel Bryan, then Adrian Neville. Then talks about traveling the road with Sami Zayn for a decade ... "But they called him first." His promos in these vignettes are spot on, but I've always kinda loved the way he talks anyway.

 

[Chris]

I can get behind a bitter indy guy who's seen all his peers move on to better things and now its his time to prove they made the wrong choice gimmick.

 

[Dale]

Here's the said video. Fully agree with the two comments above, really looking forward to seeing him debut now next week ​

 

[Chris]

I'm still skeptical about whether or not he can succeed in WWE, but man I'm pretty pumped to see if he can prove me wrong or not.

DISCUSS!​

 

[AZUCAR!]

I think the Graves announcement will be he's retiring. He's been working for WWE in production from what i've read down in NXT, so I assume he'll carry on doing that. Read also Ric Flair is going to be there. Whether he appears on camera remains to be seen.

I too see 2 title changes. Neville has had the title for around 9 months since he beat Bo Dallas in a ladder match. And with Zayn saying he'll leave if he doesn't win, it makes it obvious Zayn will win. Charlotte has done well since she won the NXT womens title but it's definitely Sasha's time to shine.

Not a fan of The Vaudevillains too, so the Lucha Dragons will easily retain.

STEEN (Owens) debuts too

Plus we may see body paint on Finn Balor for the first time since he joined NXT, since he said he was bringing something The Ascension has never seen before. And I highly doubt it'll be his RnR jacket.

 

[Crippler]

so pissed i'm not gonna be able to watch this live

 

[Weez]

First time I got to watch one of these actually live and it didn't disappoint

 

[Cwalker]

This was fantastic. Balor's entrance was epic. Banks/Charlotte exceeded expectations and Zayn/Neville was awesome as usual. Owens looked good as well and immediately got a high profile program.
