I'm totally pissed off for Flair vs Io Shirai's ending.

I cannot find a sense into Charlotte's madness: suddenly and without any sense.

Good to see Kross and Bordeaux finally arrive. If I know Triple H half as well as I think I do, he's going to treat Kross like a God. The dude looks like a big money heel. And Scarlett is Scarlett. The more of her we get to see, the better. I'm not sure about that entrance just yet though. I mean it's cool but will it be the same every time with Scarlett lip syncing and do that 80s music video dance all over the ring? That seems a bit much to be a regular occurrence. But, I guess Shinsuke does it. :lol

I can say in all honesty that when Kross came out with Scarlett I started to tear up. For two Years I've boasted about him and I've waited for his return to the Ring, and I got it last night. Years ago WWE had interests in him before him going to Impact, but the moment wasn't right and now this is his chance to make a mark in NXT and the WWE going forward. I loved the Entrance it takes me back his days prior and having Scarlett with him puts it over the top. I can't wait for him to talk because he super intelligent, and when he can talk like a British Scholar one moment, he can turn into a Serial Killer with his word and you'll believe a guy like him and his actions. I think that separates him his believability and Ciampa and Kross will do great with each other I feel.

I didn't mind Cole going over vs The Dream. It sets up Lumis vs Dream, as Cole is barely hanging onto the NXT Title these days, but it could also set up a Three Way which I'll be done for that too. Too bad Rodman Dream wasn't able to get it done last night, but he'll be getting another shot down the road no doubt. Io vs Charlotte I'll take that vs the fear I had with Io losing clean to Charlotte. Rhea returning could mean Ripley vs Shirai for a chance vs Charlotte, or a Three Way with that situation as well. Hopefully that happens at a PPV and not a Weekly NXT Show so we can get a even better Match.

Gargano/Dijakovic was a fine Match in it's own right. Gargano and LaRae being Heels hasn't got me yet, but many a couple of Months down the road I change my feelings on that. I don't understand LaRae being a Heel is a good thing considering WWE doesn't have enough Faces in the Division and now having another Heel, then where does that leave Dakota Kai who I thought you were going to do big things with? Why I'm seeing Li vs Green on my TV and not Dakota Kai? As for the 205 CW Title Tourney man I'm happy to see Kushida and Tozawa at the top those vs each other is truly a Dream bout for me. Still hoping Drake can find his way to the Prom though.

Balor beating down Grimes hell yeah that is a plus, but who is the culprit Balor is looking for? Could it be someone new because all the guys I had in my mind are already in feuds for NXT. Imperium vs Riddle/Thatcher next Week give me new Champs!

Kross (along with Scarlett) is the best thing on Wednesday Night Wrestling from here on out. I don't even think it's a discussion.

There's certainly a discussion to be had when he's sharing that night with guys like Ciampa, Dream, Lee, Moxley, Archer, Omega, Allin and The Inner Circle.

Dude's had like 10 minutes of screen time so far. Let's not get too crazy. :lol

I'm bored with all of those guys and how they've been booked for the most part. Kross (and Scarlett) are a a breath of fresh air for me. It's not like those guys are drawing in tons of viewers either since both shows debuted. :lol

So your belief is Kross is magically gonna be the one guy who is booked well and draw viewers to NXT? I don't get that reasoning at all honestly. If anything that just sounds like his only appeal is he's new. Which isn't a strong basis because he'll be old soon, too. Nonetheless... if that's your guy then that's your guy and I can respect it. I'm just not about to call him the best thing going when he hasn't even done anything.

No. I think both shows are pretty much going to stay where they are in terms of viewers outside of something really, really special on the level of Austin/McMahon or the NWO or something like, which odds are is never happening.

My only point was I like Kross (and Scarlett) and given what both shows are offering right now he is the thing I am most excited about.

Drake is great, too. Is he still with WWE or not?

Fired but they let him finish his cruiserweight tournament since he was already advertised for it before he was released. Then that video he released took off (as it should have) and WWE turned it into a GOAT angle :proud

But if they still just fire him after its over :pour
