Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

I'll keep saying until it happens, but I/WWE need(s) the Creed brothers on the main roster yesterday.

I'd prefer them with a mouthpiece to help get them over with the casual audience, but the few times I've seen them I come away extremely impressed.

Maybe they join the Alpha Academy?

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

A Taboo Tuesday like show for NXT this week.

Fans vote on certain things happening like Melos opponent for the title (Wagner, Lee, Gacy are options, I'd be surprised if it's not Lee).

We also have Pretty Deadly vs Creeds, either tornado tag, no dq or steel cage. Again, feels like they're pushing towards a cage match.

What a match between Solo and Mello. The ones all have gold.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

Hopefully they don’t go too far backwards with the change to white and gold era. It was a shaky start but NXT 2.0 really came into its own over the last year.

Totally agree.

I couldn't catch it consistently, or often at all, but when I did it seemed like they found their stride.

A lot of the vitriol towards it stuck around because people don't like change. The show is miles better now than when the relaunch started.

Usually if you are security, you have to wait years before being a superstar. Hank just going straight to being a superstar... damn.

I'm assuming Solo winning the NA Title is just to give him a title alongside his cousins. Otherwise him showing up at Clash and being on SD makes no sense.

Correction: Alongside his older brothers and cousin.

..why did this just remind me that in its early days, TNA had rival security gimmick teams?

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

So since it seems NXT 2.0 is dead, who was your male and female MVP's of the short lived era?

I have to go with Carmelo Hayes and Mandy Rose.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

as someone who was skeptical but hopeful for 2.0 it really wasn't all that bad. Clearly nothing will touch the original NXT brand stuff from 12-17, but the Super Indy stuff really didn't do a whole lot for me especially after they were gonna make a third brand but then weirdly didn't, and there was just a lot of weird stuff in the what I call post-Drew era. Still some good stuff, but it never quite captured me the way og NXT did(I am fairly certain I know why, but irrelevant)

Anyway, my MVPs are pretty straightforward

Cora Jade and the Creed Brothers.

As much as Mandy has held the torch for the NXT women, I honestly can't say that I've cared about any of her feuds so far, and furthermore, my own bias makes me care more about Gigi and Jacy than her as well. Not trying to take anything away from what she's done, because she's both improved and done a great job, but Cora Jade is the reason I care about the Women's title. Not a huge fan of her throwing the tag title in the trash, but outside of that kind of just love everything she's done. Also a pretty easy shout, but Tiffany Stratton was easily the most improved.

The Creed Brothers put together some interesting matches, and have a unique tag team style that really makes them stand out. Unlike every other title at Worlds Collide, I knew I wanted the Creed Brothers to lose because I want them on the main roster soon. Breathing life into the dull main roster tag division both with the way they approach tag team matches and by virtue of the tag team scene being incredibly stale on the main roster(for me).

Excited to see where the new NXT goes

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

Yeah, Cora is great, as well as the Creed Brothers. Definitely can make a case for them, it's very subjective anyway.

I'm excited to see what's next. Obviously Triple H and Shawn have their own ideas and 2.0 wouldn't be going anywhere if Vince was still in charge.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

Gargano got his wish. Vic dropped a SPICY MEATBALL live on TV.

Apparently Gargano has even texted Vic during shows with "suggestions" on things to say during the shows.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

So Solo winning the title was only done so he could have a title for the Logan Paul press conference?

Commissioner Michaels strikes.

I liked the Damon Kemp interview. Explaining the timeline of his whole plan. Little things like that add so much. He took D'Angelo up on the offer to cost the Creeds the match, but Santos coming in stopped Kemp from carrying out the plan.

And the footage we saw with Strong rejecting the offer led to Kemp having to take him out to be able to destroy the later footage of Kemp accepting the offer.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

Andre Chase going off on a reporter named Dave and mentioning a star ratings system lol.

Also... Bron said the thing but he forgot to add what happens when you add Kurt Angle into the mix.

Re: WWE NXT 2.0 Thread

Apparently it's only because of immigration issues, but Vic wasn't at NXT.

I don't mind Sudu, Saxton and someone else on commentary for NXT going forward.

Assuming that means Barrett, Vic, Graves for Raw, then McAfee and Cole for SD.
