NXT 2013/14 Thread

Professional Griefer

Looking forward to this tonight, hopefully it'll be decent.

How long has Bo Dallas been doing that fake smile schtick? Cause that's far more interesting than generic face guy from the 2013 Rumble.

Since he won the belt around 7/8 months ago I think ? Open to correction

Agent Coulson

Bret Hart, Kevin Nash and Paul Heyman are the pre show panel for this tonight.

Yeah just before that. He went in as a face but was being booed. He's got a very punchable face so the whole gimmick suits him. Just how he always acts like he's in denial until someone says something that wipes the smile off his face.
Of course they's not saying booooooo. They're saying Booooo. And it's not "No more Bo", they're saying "Let's go Bo".

Don't stop Bo-lieving!

Nash has definitely had a few drinks before being on the pre show panel :P

And the divas match isn't first either which is suprising.

This dropping the antonio from cesaro is stupid.

Agent Coulson

Awesome

BohsJohnny

Amazing match imo a good bit better then the 2 out of 3 falls match Zayn should be on raw and Cesaro should be right up there with Bryan.

brianregan09

amazing that the same people run NXT run raw NXT is like a breath of fresh air

Itssoeasy

get regal on raw commmentary NOW.

Itssoeasy

It baffles me as to how paige isn't on raw already. And i love that the commentators are actually calling the moves by the names instead of the usual "modified version of..." crap.

As someone commented somewhere else, would you rather see Paige having 15 minute matches on NXT or dancing with Santino on Raw?

A lot had to do with her age. She only just turned 21. Apparently she is the absolute next person to be called up but got delayed as she had to take time off to deal with personal issues.

Love her new finisher:




The only other time I've ever seen it used was when Bull Nakano was in WWF for a brief time:

The Ayatolla

Great show, watched it on delay on the Network on my iPhone this morning. 10er a month well spent!!!!

Thank god for NXT. The guys being called up, and the show itself, is keeping me very interested these days.

Moneymaker

Very good show, they really went all out for it, lot of stars there. Good to see.

Cesaro v Zayn was incredible.

beakerjoe

Looking forward to this when I have a chance. PPV of the year contender from what ive been reading

Will Arrival be on Sky anytime?

As in On Demand? Doubt it.

It is being shown next week and following week. Two 1 hour episodes.

Chopped up essentially.

So I'll admit, I've not watched NXT before. As a result, I also haven't seen many, if any, of the people before outside of clips and pictures (Paige :P). But I wanted to try and get into NXT given how good people say it is.

First match in....Jesus, Cesaro and Zayn are awesome together. I nearly jumped out of my seat when Sami went for the dive through the ropes and Cesaro caught him with the uppercut, and looked to outright kill him. This is brilliant...

Not normally like this. NXT has a match on that level about every 3 months or so.

rovert

There's ANOTHER NXT taping tonight IMMENSELY confused when they air. Mid April?

rovert

There's another NXT taping March 13th.

IF NXT doesn't wheel out Becky Lynch OFFICALLY St. Patrick's Day eve I will be PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Yay Solomon Crowe debuted at the tapings last night:


As babyface and without the hacker gimmick. Seemingly he is the same character as he was on the indies when he was DEATH MACHINE Sami Callihan.

Paige is going to be a big deal, as far as Divas go, she's got the lot. I see she's now got her own tshirt in the wwe store and her theme is available to buy, her promotion must be very imminent. Look forward to her and AJ interacting.

Lord TSC

I wonder how she fits in with AJ though. I mean, obviously her vs AJ could be a great feud to start off with, but they kind of occupy the same "weird but hot chick" character.

CastorTroy

Just finished watching. I think it showed 2 things: how good nxt matches can be and how poor the main shows have got.

Thought the zayn match was meant to be 2 out of 3 falls but I thought the result was the right one anyway. Showed zany as strong against a main eventer without having a newly pushed Cesaro losing to a new guy.

Women's match wasn't perfect but thought it was good and just reinforced how annoying it is that they stuck Emma with Santino instead of in the divas division. Though at least she's had one match. As was said it kind of makes you hope they don't bring Paige up.

Happy to see Neville win though was thinking where are the previous champs? Big E is intercontinental champ while Rollins up until the EC match was pretty much the other guy in the Shield

I need to come down like a tonne of bricks on this. NXT has been largely crap this year bar a very good episode two weels ago and a good episode last week. Reading the results of last night's NXT taping that situation will remain unchanged. NXT Arrival was the best NXT has to offer but NXT's normal is really poor and dreary in ring these days.

DM_7

On NXT they tend to have the best matches for the title or when someone from main roster turns up.

Mojo v Moon child is more typical of recent tapings quality.
