Official NXT thread

[The Q]

Not Wrestling Obsever. More specifically Bryan Alvarez. He shits on all things WWE. Which, as you know, includes NXT.

I still don't know where Meltzer stands in regards to WWE/NXT. As I mentioned before he's allegedly AEW's unpaid PR guy. So that would presume he's rabidly anti-WWE.

I saw what they said about omega in a fb group.

I disagree.

He took a buck shot and stomp package pile driver back to back. In a world where finishers are meaningless that’s a solid change.

He was then blindsided by 2 guys. When it evened up he was fine.


And then It was like 6 on 1 and they didn’t fight like retards like Corbin’s security on SD last week.

Plus they showed you how this group grew in all the videos.

People just want to complain. Dark order is awesome.

The Dark Order are like a bunch of D&D nerds playing dress up. That’s not to say they can’t develop into something great but right now they’re pretty bad. And to put them over pretty much your entire babyface roster is laughably stupid.

I mean look at this, they’re bush league, and this was the end of the show big angle.

Yeah. Rookie definitely got over excited there.


But people acting like his didn’t happen in the brawls before survivor series. But this was just the wrong spot

Not only that, its also stupid to do it considering you've already done it. The Elite, just weeks prior, had been laid out by the Inner Circle, and should still be feuding with them. So now they've got two factions to fight against at the same time?

They moved way too quickly with DO. Should have spent a couple more weeks with the great vignettes. Have them knock of Jurrassic Express or some other lower level faces on the way up. They went from 1st gear to 4th for no reason

I definitely agree with that. I feel like they should've done at least one more week of vignettes with them and then maybe on the January 1 show do something with them. I wouldn't have had them beat up on the top stars though. I would've maybe had like a Private Party vs Best Friends or TH2 match and then Dark Order interferes in that and lays everyone out. Start them out with the mid carders or lower level talent and go from there.

this is I Agree with

who did they put the mask on before? Way back in October?

Dark Order? I remember they tried to get Marko Stunt.

 

[DefCONNOne]

I think it’s booking of the main roster of WWE he hates. I don’t recall him hating NXT.

I lump them together b/c NXT is under the WWE umbrella. Since the WOL crew hates WWE so very very much, it stands to reason they hate NXT just as much.

Nah, they like NXT mainly because Vince’s fingerprints aren’t all over it like RAW and SmackDown.

 

[The Q]

Nah, they like NXT mainly because Vince’s fingerprints aren’t all over it like RAW and SmackDown.

the downside to that is the lack of story. The lack of creativity.

since they’ve been on USA the two more creative moments they’ve had were:

1) all things Finn Balor (aweosme)

2) Garza taking his pants off in front of Lio’s wife and then winning the feud

Wrong again. They're doing nothing on USA that they didn't do on the Network.

Your AEW-colored glasses have blinded you to that fact.

The only story besides wtf is balor doing and why is Garza taking off his pants in front of other women when he was planning propose.


Everything else is just I want the title. No creativity at all.

 

[The Q]

One of the things I really liked about last weeks real main event was how the heel vs heel angle let both me shine.

The prior week balor won but it wasn’t a strong showing as lee and ciampa did a lot of the damage and balor was out for 5 minutes from a routine shoulder block.

Heel vs heel let both men perform strong until the end with the low blow.

I still think Gargano interfereing and hitting balor with the chair for a dq would’ve been the better ending, but still solid.

 

[wildturkey]

Alex Shelley is Kushida's mystery partner for the Dusty!

It probably shouldn't have, but that legit surprised me. Time Splitters are fun.

 

[The Q]

I hope yall are ready for Gargano's heel turn.

 

[The Q]

Are they really gonna put a title on Lee for like 2 months before he’s called up to the big league roster?

 

[The Q]

the wrong NXT UK team won last week....


change my mind...

 

[The Q]

Follow-up, slightly off topic, question...Why does WWE continue to insist that they don't hate Johnny Gargano? If they truly didn't hate him, they wouldn't have jobbed him out like a chump at TakeOver XXV. They also would've had him go over Andrade at TO: Philly (That result chaps my ass so much I still haven't watched that match). No one, to my knowledge, in NXT history has ever lost in their first title defense. Except Gargano.

I'm not even a Gargano fan and even I can see this.

Bumping just because they have brought him right in the middle of 2 major story lines.

Still think he's turning heel though.

 

[The Q]

I kinda hope they stay in NXT though. They tend to screw up all the hot stars once they get to the "main" roster. For example, Ricochet has stagnated and Aleister Black is locked in a damn closet.

Care to revisit this one?

Riccochet is probably going to be the next one after the US title once Andrade puts Mysterio away.

And Black has been showcased with Murphy and will now join the biggest story line in WWE that doesn't involve red lights.

 

[The Q]

you knew the Timespliters wouldn't win when they announced his partner a week early. Took all the drama out of it.
