has been a terrible months tv on NXT but theres a lot of promise in the matches on the card.

roode/shinsuke was great in there last match.

black/almas could steal the show if given time

tag match will be great.

womens match will be very good as well.

surley theyll put chris hero on the show as well.

spektorfive

what time will this be on in our time? I think revival will get hero's send off as the last team against the A.O.P in the three-way. But will lose the match.

Lord TSC

William Regal announced today that all champions tonight will be given shines new titles.

I wonder if those Paige pictures might play a role in that decision :pac:

Will watch this tomorrow, I am surprised they keep putting Manny in losing situations. He is one I expected them to be building up.

Interesting to see how they treat Tommy/Black.

Great for him and of course Big Damo to be involved in such a show already.

Its a card that has names missing that could get added, Hideo, Hero, Billie and Peyton.

D.Q

Will watch first half hour or so to take in the atmosphere

If this is supposed to be the Wrestlemania of NXT it's a bit disappointing, NXT has fallen a lot from the heights of 2 years ago

At the same time it'll end up being a damn good 2 hours, but tomorrow at some stage

The White Feather

Haven't watched NXT in ages so I am going into this fresh but cold.

Could be either a good thing or bad thing!

Good thing the TV has been terrible

Itssoeasy

I'm excited to see who the asuka and ember moon match plays out. Both can't stay undefeated after tonight.

Itssoeasy

There she is Nikki cross the Scottish princess.

The White Feather

I love the women involved in this.

I have been always saying women should be mixed up with the men and vice versa. Not separate.

Ohno looks like he's been dropping weight already

I was just about to say he looks really overweight! So he was bigger?:eek: :pac:

D.Q

He somehow looks more fat than the actual fat guy on the other team.

Itssoeasy

The northern Irish lad is a big unit isn't he ?

Massive. I saw him at OTT before, giant of a man!

This is great fun so far. I want to see more of the women!

The White Feather

Tye definitely has that 'it' factor (X10!)

Yeah but as people say it doesn't stand out like Chris hero does.

sky88

Very fun opener

oneilla

Nikki Cross looks like Crazy Mary dobson

Angron

"The numbers of Sanity too much". It was 4 vs 4!

Disappointed to see Tye losing again, but an enjoyable match.

Itssoeasy

Well that was a fun 8 man tag match. Good action and nonody felt out of place.

D.Q

One of my first times watching nxt, was on Tye Dillingers wiki page, had no idea he was the Stan that HBK super kicked back on the day haha

Itssoeasy

I have to say I like Nigel mcguinness on commentary.

A hall of fame wrestle couple. I like this. Beth's speech last night was superb.

hufpc8w3adnk65

Watching via mobdro so see how that holds up. Haven't watched nxt in years so very cold on characters. I know Roode from Tna tho

sky88

Love the way there presenting black.

Angron

Quite enjoy Tommy End since I saw him at an event two years ago.

Jesus that's impressive way to keep yourself in the ring.

UK tournament he wrestled but this is he's actual nxt debut and yes he's Dutch.

D.Q

Nigel mcguiness is a breath of fresh air on commentary

B.A._Baracus

Match is a bit too spotty so far.

Angron

Aye, McGuinness is very good, something that cannot be said about Percy Watson.

oneilla

That was 3!

D.Q

Think I see a boardsie front row in the middle. kkv or Kane n nite, can never remember which one it is

Itssoeasy

The White Feather

Did he just say "in ring of honour" or am I dreaming?

D.Q

Wasnt a bad match, black has a very awkward style though. Couldnt really get into a flow.

How'd I miss that

Angron

I compliment McGuinness, and then he goes and says Black has a big future in Ring of Honour :pac:

ricero

From Reddit:

"If you're watching at home, section 220 has been chanting for themselves all night, so all the other sections are telling them to shut the **** up. Looks like a bunch of drunk brits are starting the 220 chants"

He is very different but that's a good thing.I loved his style. Very Kickboxing orientated

D.Q

Extreeeemely jaded fan here. Haven't enjoyed a wrestling show in a long time because of the presentation of it. Michael Cole etc raw seems so stale or something. Loving this though.

No he did say it. He went silent after it for a few seconds.
