NXT Season 6 thread...spoilers

rovert

I wonder if Kevin Dunn was involved in this as it is COMPLETELY different to other shows. Very TNA-esque.

Cherry_Cola

Coheed & Cambria as the opening theme, I like it already.

rovert

This kind of like the format ECW had squash, short match, lengthy match.

The character profiles are awesome WWE main level nearly and Tyson/McGullitcutty had a great TV match.

Whichever student did the audio for JR & Regal deserves an F. :P

Cherry_Cola

Only skimmed it, but the audio was a little poor alright, especially during the intro.

The Ascension remind me of Palumbo and O'Haire.

bobby_says_hi

hopefully there will be longer matches on the next few episodes but Tyson/McGillicutty was PPV quality

ciano316

I like the ascension. They look like a tag team. I'd rather see them on TV than the primetime players...

GTR63

Bo Dallas looks a fair bit like Andy Carroll and that Rollins video looked a bit like a repeat of a Punk one. They'd want to do something with the Audio though it makes the impact zone sound like the houston astrodome

rovert

Yeah this is pretty savage and wasnt even made for Raw or Smackdown:

His promos have been fantastic so far.

DM_7

I though Dalton deciding to keep well away from the Ascension at the end of the match was smart. Made them look that bit better.

briany

I liked the Bray Wyatt one a lot it caught me by surprise but I was laughing during the Ascension one. I found it hard to take seriously at all.

bobby_says_hi

i'm just remembering Conor O'Brian as Alberto Del Rio's creepy rookie on NXT season 4 and can't take him seriously...though i'm not sure we're meant to with that video package

rovert

The second episode:

This show is actually very much like last week's IMPACT as in there was far too many matches.

Looking for your thoughts on Seth Rollins here.

Mods can you change the topic title to "NXT Season 6 thread" or something like it?

gnfnrhead

I have no problem with loads of matches, I'd prefere it over few matches and loads of segments. The second episode however was a joke. The main event was less than five minutes and the rest were squashes. What use is that to anyone?

I believe its just the WWE's way of introducing the new stars to everyone. They prob think the audience is too dumb to keep their attention for a longer match, then again it is being filmed on college grounds :P

I kind of like the ascension but during that promo all that was running through my head was "Na na na na na na Batman" :pac:

Promo here so people know what i mean

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjVSJvLeJTc

GTR63

Its more Underworld than Batman. Speaking of which its on itv4 at the minute with Cesar Romero as the joker.
Didn't enjoy Nxt the show was a pure blur everything was rushed and nothing was memorable, at least JR didn't say upside too many times.

I like Rollins, i think him and Ambrose are going to be big stars. Maybe he seemed a little too eager to impress here but given the limited timeframe he had to work with that is understandable

His mic skills still need work IMO

QikBax

I prefer Ambrose to Rollins at the moment. I think Rollins' entrance is a bit stupid. Trying too hard. Fantastic in the ring though.

Can't wait to see Ambrose and Regal from the last FCW show.

bobby_says_hi

the Steamboat match was disappointing. they had time for the heel to get offence in but instead they had him just dominating for about four minutes and it just killed the crowd. faces should never use rest holds

i hope they actually give competitive matches next week

Stereomaniac

Are they just giving the latest batch squash matches so that people can see what they look like before they have them actually facing each other? I hope that's the case, because it's gonna get real old, real fast if this is it like!

bobby_says_hi

according to the spoilers for next week's episode there's a lot more competitive matches on and the likes of Primo, Epico, R-Truth, Tyson Kidd and Michael McGillicutty will be working matches with the FCW talent

bobby_says_hi

http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2012/0630/553927/

At last night's FCW live event in Melbourne, FL current NXT superstar Bray Wyatt (formerly Husky Harris) go down early in his main event match against Leo Kruger and Brad Maddox. The match ended abruptly and he was taken to the back. Reports are saying it looks like a shoulder injury

Also earlier in the show Caylee Turner defeated Raquel Diaz (Shaul Guerrero, daughter of Eddie and Vickie) to become the new FCW Divas' Champion. Turner (Christina Crawford) is the sister of current Diva Alicia Fox and placed 5th on the most recent season of Tough Enough. While Ariane was the first contestant to make it to WWE TV and Ivelisse will be the first to wrestle on NXT this week, Christina is the first of the contestants to win a title in WWE

GTR63

Vader's kid looks a bit like Miz never though i'd be saying that.Kassius Ohno has a solid idea of a gimmick(winning by Ko) but the Oh No! catchprase is more God No!
I'd give Bo Dallas a unaccurate headbutt as a signature he really looks like Andy Carroll without the ponytail, enjoying his brother's videos. Regal's story about Hunico being saved in the barrio was gas.
The crowd are still the worst in the history of sport or entertainment even people who are in the crowd for the Late,Late show are better.

It's not about what you know, but who you blow (Kevin Dunn)

:pac:

bobby_says_hi

well i've seen her wrestle and she's got a lot more talent than Raquel Diaz who seems to get a free pass for her clumsiness just because her father was famous

Motion118

Anyone else really disappointed with this show? After seeing the ad for it a few weeks ago I really looked forward to seeing it, but after watching the first two episodes I've noticed that it's nothing but another developmental show with 2 minute matches.

I don't even know what the concept of the show is. Is it just FCW with a few guys from Raw and Smackdown thrown in?

bobby_says_hi

the third episode showed a small step in the right direction. the matches are getting more competitive. it's just that whoever is booking this show doesn't seem to realise that the guys and girls in FCW are capable of wrestling long and competitive matches

Think the entire season was recorded in 1 day so it'd be hard to ask them have multible long matches.
I find it odd that one match its Regal the next its Saxton. Pure confusing for the viewer.

DM_7

The show is only a development show. It was off how the tag match had no mention of what went down in the Rollins v Camacho match.

Rollins is certainly trying a bit hard with his entrance alright.

vaders kid is in pretty good shape. Odd to see him looking like Miz.

Whats the deal with Husky, will he have his own cult followers like an SES?

bobby_says_hi

apparently the 6-man tag was meant to be part of the fourth episode but they seemed to merge episodes 3 and 4 into one as there was an Ascension match that got cut and R-Truth had a match too in the tapings

Stereomaniac

Perhaps they cut R-Truth's match because he doesn't have the tag team belt in the recording? Seems kinda weird when I'm watching it and there's no promotion of the other shows.

QikBax

Bray Wyatt is fantastic on this weeks show. Really has his character nailed.

His injury came at the worst possible time.

rovert

Last night featured in the ring debut of some whipper snapper called Scotty 2 Hottie (sp?)



He beat Heath Slater with some dance move and a chop. :eek: He'll probably wont make TV.

grames_bond

sounds like a good show - if only the crowd could be better!

the only issue i think is the 4 episode tapings , crowd would be knackered after it!

bobby_says_hi

Camacho was really impressive this week. i didn't see much from him last episode but he was on fine form this week's episode. anyone else think The Usos would be really over if WWE pushed them? they really can work the crowd with their entrance. Bray Wyatt was looking on form in there today and the crowd really seemed to love him.

Raquel Diaz's vignette seems like an obvious Beautiful People ripoff. funny how the worst developmental Diva gets a vignette and the talented ones don't

GTR63

Felt this weeks episode was a bit like a episode of superstars never bothered watching the main event. I'd much rather watch the wrestlers I don't know a lot about than ones I do know about.

jaykhunter

Anyone got a decent pic of the new NXT belt?

MitchKoobski

I don't usually watch full shows unless I'm watching it live, but I've watched each episode of the new NXT in full so far. Love it.

rovert

Bray Wyatt :

DM_7

I really enjoyed Kidd v Camacho and the Bray Wyatt persona is really really good.

If only they had created it when Nexus was around.

He could just debut it on tv in the same fashion doubt many watch Nxt or would complain if he did.

Eire-Dearg

Gabriel and Slater wrestled a good main event this week.

Poor A-Ri once Cesaro used Mean Look he was done for. Anyway Pokemon jokes aside I was glad to see McIntyre pick up a win(could easily be considered a upset too). And we got to hear his Music which was a nice Bonus.

bobby_says_hi

really enjoyed the match between A-Ry and Cesaro. Alex has really improved in the ring. excellent women's match too

and here's a major spoiler that was just reported:

*Seth Rollins became the first NXT Champion a few minutes ago

rovert

Cringed and lol'd hard about the comments on commentary about Drew's career being sidetracked.

bobby_says_hi wrote: »

Since you spoiled it. :pac:

Lord TSC

SO, I'm wondering if WWE will achknowledge these shows on the "main" shows like Raw or Smackdown. I mean to say, I'm not watching NXT, only just about keeping up with whats happening. But when Rollins gets promoted to the main shows, are they going to be going on about his feuds on NXT and what he did there? Or are they going to ignore it?

GTR63

Anyone else reminded of Hardy's fugly tna title when they look at that, its so misshapen.

Still its miles better than getting a medal in FCW. That was just pathetic looking.
