*SPOILER About that NXT Heatwave main event finish....

[BillyBob42]

And what does that have to do with being ready?

He shouldn't be getting this spot already over guys who have been there longer. what happened to paying your dues?

 

[Hoss]

He's good friends with Cody Rhodes. So let that be considered.

 

[BillyBob42]

You can't even say Trick Williams is green in the ring without being accused of only wanting 7 star matches with no stories lmao the Meltzer hate has so cooked the IWC

I get that he's green in the ring, I just don't care, there are more things I value.

 

[Jimmy King]

I like Trick as much as the next guy but like others have said he’s still green, and Ethan Page is a long time veteran in wrestling it’s not like he’s a rookie off the street he’s getting his dues paid.

 

[Hoss]

That fact aside, I think Page is a decent enough wrestler and surely one of the better mic workers on the brand right now, so I don't see any problem with him having the belt for what I assume won't be a super long reign.

I don't believe it should matter if he's green or not, it should matter if he's over.

I don't think that speaks very well to their confidence in other guys already in NXT, a few years ago, there would be plenty of guys they would consider putting the belt on before a guy who just got there.

 

[Butters]

I just watched the finish to the match. Trick basically handed him the match so it’s not like it’s over. They’ll face at the next show most likely and he could even get it back.

He’s not fired or anything. They still made him lose looking strong.

It did make Shawn Spears look dumb, but hot potatoing the belt? I guess, not sure why it was needed, but I guess they're out of ideas.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

You're complaining about this as if the Golden Age of NXT wasn't built up on PC athletes getting to work with and learn from indie darlings. Trick will be fine. He's still ridiculously over for NXT standards

 

[Jimmy King]

Fair enough, I suppose.

I’d suggest just waiting it out and see where they’re going with this story.

I always found the golden age to be overrated.

What Golden Age are we talking about? I'm thinking 2016 time when there were the "Better than Mania" chants in Dallas. If you're thinking more the "late Black and Gold" era with increasingly masturbatory BANGERZ and no talent mobility, that's definitely overrated yeah

 

[Comrade Khan]

Trick will be fine, he's very young and another chase won't hurt him. Does Ethan deserve an NXT world title run? That depends who you are, but I do think it's a pretty low risk move that hurts no one, gives a feel good moment to a vet and it will probably be the peak of his wwe career. honestly kind of a rare move by wwe and I am cool with it.

 

[Comrade Khan]

it's also a way for WWE to entice talent from aew and the indies that you don't have to be in the system from day1 to be nxt champ which is smart recruiting even if you find it annoying. Ethan is cool though (though imma troll him now for saying that this company cares about me line knowing he was winning the title lmao)
