    Wow he didn't wait a second to jump across. I don't know much about him honestly, but he seems very over so I'm happy for him. That was a long time he was in limbo.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,957 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Didn't actually realize he was 34 thought he was only in mid 20s.

    I'd say he was in contact (unofficially )with wwe before being let go because that was quick turn around



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Going by that appearance, it seems he won't be going by Ricky Starks. Did they say his name? Think they pretty much just said "You know who I am" and "We know who that is"

    Vengeance Day on at 11pm our time tonight

    • Oba Femi vs Grayson Waller vs Austin Theory for NXT title
    • Giulia vs Bayley vs raoxanne Perez vs Cora Jade for NXT Women's title
    • Fallon Henley vs Stephanie Vaquer for NA women's title
    • Nathan Frazer & Axiom vs Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura for Tag Team titles
    • Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page
    • Trick Williams vs. Eddy Thorpe in a Strap Match

    Also the new group set to debut



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    NXT title match very underwhelming Theory and Waller have no chance of winning.

    other than that the rest of the card is fine. Will prob give it a look at some stage as I have Netflix anyway.

    While I know this NXT title match is just a filler match before the big match at Stand and Deliver, would think they would have a match to decide the number 1 contender tonight as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I thought Roxanne was headed to Raw



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭ThePott


    If I had to guess (and I don't watch NXT regularly), this might be her last show and having Bayley in the match helps set-up a potential feud to carry through to the main roser for her too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    I believe Roxanne is in a chamber qualifier match on Raw, she was the women's rumble mvp



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,420 ✭✭✭ThePott


    She is, against Raquel Rodriguez. I'm not sure she'll win but I think after that match she'll be on Raw going forward more or less, at least that's my guess.

    They seem focussed on thing slike debuts so must have high hopes for this new group.

    Seems a small enough venue.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,710 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Vaquer is something else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Is this Retribution 2.0?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    My first thought as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    The masks are pointless since they keep coming off. More of an impact on the second appearance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,164 ✭✭✭Officer999


    That was a pretty eventful episode of NXT.

    I actually really like the name Ricky Saints



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Liked Vic's comment after Rick found all the tag teams, when he said he'd better stay away from the car park. Think it's well known that NXT has the most dangerous car park.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,262 ✭✭✭Ridley


    I reckon he could have gotten away with calling himself "Ricky [*pose*]."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 91,013 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Hardyz back

    Few big matches announced for Roadblock which takes place in a couple weeks on NXT.

    • Moose Vs Oba for the NXT title
    • Hardys Vs Fraxiom for the TNA tag titles
    • Giulia Vs Stephanie for winner takes all

    I thought one of the cross promotion matches would be saved for the next TNA live show/event.

    Surprised at the winner takes all match. When they confronted each other in the ring I thought would be a Stand & Deliver match meaning no women's title on the line that night since assumed they wouldn't take a title away so soon after introducing the NA title.

    I wonder is one of them moving up to main roster post Mania? Might be a reason for it?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Giulia is injured apparently might be a way to get the strap off her.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    But why not give it to Roxanne or even Jordynne. I know Roxanne is likely moving up but a single champion makes things more awkward down the road for splitting them again.



  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,957 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    Are they unifying the titles or just winner take all?



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,059 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,493 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Yeah I don't get what they'll do unless they strip Stephanie of the north American title and have a tournament for it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 449 ✭✭Petermc83


    pretty short run for either of them if its a clean finish.. maybe itll be a DQ finish with Grace involved so they set up a triple threat for Mania weekend..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,015 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Katie Taylor getting a brief mention this week via headlines on the MSG promo.

    The annoying guy was back in the crowd this week. Ok, I know there are multiple annoying people there, but this one who just lets out a long boo or something.

    Will watch Level Up 2.0, aka Evolve, later.

    Looking online, it looks like Cora is ok anyway.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,229 ✭✭✭✭hynesie08


    When's the last time Shawn had a multi person ladder match? Must be over 6 hours at this point?

    Giulia was probably the bigger name of the two coming in but Vaquer feels like she'll be the bigger star.
