WWE NXT Thread

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

So I'm just getting around to watching last week's episode of NXT. As always here are my thoughts.

Baron destroyed dude in like 10 seconds I loved it!
Eva didn't look all that bad to me. It's her first match so my expectations weren't all that high.
I'm really glad Bayley is back, she looked good in her return. Can't wait to see her and Charlotte in another amazing match.
Speaking of Charlotte, her and Dana should be a good match as well. To me Dana has improved a lot since she started. Liked the promo between the two as well.
The VaudVillians look to be on a roll heading into their championship match against Blake and Murphy.
Joe's match was impressive too. Also glad they changed up his music. It's uh....better.
Finally, man am I hyped for Balor/KO 2!! They are two of my favorite guys in NXT right now.



Reed is comin' atcha!!

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

I don't want to have a "crap on the crowd" post every week, but did we really need "Dana's ratchet/No she's not", "Dana's gonna hug you", and "Let's go Dana/Dana sucks" in the span of 30 seconds?

Would it be so wrong to pay attention and react to the match going on instead of trying to chant things for the sake of chanting?

Also dude in the front row who spent the tag match trying to take pics of Carmella's ***...not even being subtle. Come on, man.

I got tired of the crowd months ago, some try to take the focus off of the wrestlers and put on themselves.

I don't know when it started happening, but the crowd for NXT is way more concerned about getting themselves over instead of the wrestlers. Random chants to entertain themselves while the matches are just beginning are really annoying.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

• The Network launched and more people could see NXT.
• NXT becomes more popular, more people want to go to the local events.
• The product is good and based in one location, so it's easy to attract repeat crowd members.
• Same crowd seeing the same people helps create a bond between the crowd and the wrestlers.
• Enthusiastic crowd comes across well on TV.

...then the tipping point.

Now this specific crowd has been overexposed to the live product; so they turn to entertaining themselves.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

Is this crowd really going to boo every time Brooklyn is mentioned? How stupidly petty of them.

Ya, kinda stupid, Same happens on WWETV at times too when two superstars are getting into a feud or something, then they announce those superstars will compete at the next PPV, you can even hear fans booing then too. Not cause they don't like the match, cause it's one of those "the match isn't happening here tonight? BOOO!".

It's the same fans who go to the NXT show every time, so those people are just acting like spoiled fans. The one time they're not getting a show at NXT arena,they'll boo it and complain.

Though was funny when Owens intentionally emphasizes BROOKLYN to the crowd.

I was going to agree with this, but then saw Majingir's next line about being spoiled and complaining. That's what I was getting at - we'll just ignore the first part that you bolded.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

So...Apollo Crews? Just hope WWE does something good with him. And doesn't actually give him some sort of rap/hip hop theme like they basically always do.

What are they doing with Enzo/Cass? Just give them the titles already! Should've been tag champs months ago! Now they're not even in the tag title match at takeover?

Owens and Banks surely will be losing their title matches, seeing how both are regulars on main roster, no point having either of them with a title. I'd guess after Takeover, we see Balor vs Joe and then Bayley vs Dana?

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

Someone else has said it, but Charlotte throws chops like the Great Khali.

Bull Dempsey is awesome.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

Does this Marcus Louis loser really have to look like a post-wellness policy Corporate Kane? Nobody could come up with a better look?

Lol at all the mentions of Brooklyn being in pre-taped segments.

Also, thanks to the Full Sail nerds for the "women's wrestling" and "this is wrestling" chants during Bayley vs Becky. I wasn't sure what I was watching before that.

Jealous of Byron Saxton for getting that front row view of Sasha on the table at the end.

Re: WWE: NXT Thread

So when can we get Corey Graves on commentary for Smackdown or Raw?

Have you watched the two wrestle? Other than both being black they have nothing else in common. Lazy comparison, IMO.
