Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
^That's it?
That sounds basically like the old NXT but slightly worse. Random divas match, useless main event, and 1 good match.
FCW is way better than this. Rollins,Big E,Bo,Wyatt,Ascension among others should be the main people on NXT, not people like Jinder and Bateman

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
So are the guys who are already on the main roster the "main eventers" of the new NXT?

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
OK episode of NXT. Again, a lot of short matches that should have been longer to really showcase the talent. And overall, the crowd didn't care, which ruins the atmosphere of the matches. I'm not really seeing the point of NXT if it's a bunch of matches back to back without any storyline development (besides the Ohno promo which was awkward). How are we supposed to connect with the characters? I think the lack of storylines combined with the fact that the crowd may not be familiar with the talent is why the crowd is dead throughout the night.
Paige vs. Sofia Cortez- I thought both ladies came across as heels and that kind of messed up the rhythm of the match as the crowd didn't know who to cheer for. Sofia has a lot of potential and handled her debut well. I've always felt Paige was a bit overrated seeing her FCW work and her debut on NXT just proved that point further. She looked nervous and just went through the motions. She might get there in time (isn't she only 19?), but Paige isn't ready now. Sofia was the one to watch in this match. Put her in the divas division ASAP.
Camacho vs. Rollins- Time for Camacho to get his own titantron. I've said everything I needed to say about Rollins last week. Camacho was OK, but nothing too memorable. The match didn't go anywhere, the crowd was still dead. Camacho should have gotten the win here as it would have been a nice moment to show off Camacho as a heel threat. Rollins winning did nothing for either man.
Graves/Carter vs. Rogers/Parker- Graves is ready. He's impressive and should be on the main roster. Smackdown or Raw needs Graves. His gimmick works and he knows how to work a match. Out of all the men who debuted so far on NXT, he stood out the most. Carter is the weaker of the two in the tag team and doesn't stand out as much, but since the tag division is non-existant, I'd keep them together for now. Rogers/Parker were just there to make Graves/Carter look good.
Ohno vs. Dalton- The most interesting thing about Dalton is his tights pattern. Other than that, he's in the odd position of making others look good while being completely indistinguishable himself. I didn't get into Ohno's part of the match either. The match went nowhere and was way too short. There really was no point to airing this match.
Bateman vs. Mahal- WWE is trying to get over Mahal as a vicious heel, but something is missing. Bateman wasn't the right opponent to try something like this since the crowd didn't have any sympathy for Bateman.
Kidd/Dallas/Rollins vs. McGillicutty/Camacho/Hunico- Hunico/Kidd/McGillicutty stood out here. And this tag match is a good example of how the other three aren't on their level yet.
Overall, Graves and Cortez have potential and probably don't even need NXT as they are ready now. Kidd/McGillicutty/Hunico made the main event. And the rest was pretty much filler. While in theory, it's great that WWE wants to showcase as many people as possible from FCW, but with three weeks of filming now, it's apparent that there's a huge division of talent forming from those who are ready for WWE programming and those that shouldn't be on camera yet. Instead of showing everyone, they need to focus on the top 6 or so people who are ready and give them feuds, storylines, and mic time. That way, the crowd knows what is going on.

This guy posted the full show on his youtube page for those that have not seen it yet.
over all I thought it was a good show this week. The crowd might not be to much into it because of the multiple tapings they do in one night.
I don't mind the short matches they are still trying to introduce the new talent. Hopefully after introducing the talent is done and over they actually make a belt for NXT and introduce some storyline into their product.
Paige did what she was told and that is to job and make Cortez look good. Hell just look at her matches with Audry on FCW, she makes that Audry look like a decent wrestler.
Can not wait till Bray Wyatt comes on next week I wonder if they will pair him off with a diva since in his video package you hear a creepy women laughing.
People need to be patient, the show is still new, let it play out for a while and see if it will lead to something good.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
The crowd would still be dead because it's the same crowd from the last two weeks, only more tired. They'd be well into the 3rd hour of the first tapings by this show. Next week will be even worse.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread
Really looking forward to the debut of Bray Wyatt, I liked the promo they did for him on this weeks episode. It looks like they paired him with Brodie Lee (Luke Harper now right?) as you could see him in a few shots in that promo.

The taping structure does put the talent at a disadvantage. But it also gives the talent a real life situation of trying to get something out of a crowd that isn't responsive. If they make the main roster, they're going to have to do that in real life. Those that can get a reaction at NXT are the ones that are going to be able to move ahead and deal with being on the main roster.
