I won't spoil or give away any "dirtsheet" details, as I take them with a grain of salt to begin with, but what I read seems to open more doors for him than his current situation does.

The big man vs. big man thing might work. I'd probably be interested in seeing that and is probably one of the routes WWE might take - hence why Big E might have been brought in heel. Keeps that traditional face vs. heel dynamic.

It's inevitable Ziggler will start blaming Big E for losing and get up in his face until Big E snaps and turns on him. Those moments can be great and a good way to get someone some face success.

It would be nice if WWE actually acknowledged their NXT champs on RAW and Smackdown. It would make more sense when they show up. It would help prove the belt's worth and garner more interest in NXT itself.

It would be a collision. I'm not into Langston, but I could see myself being into a mammoth clash like that. For the spectacle of it, you know? Although Ryback just comes off MUCH more threatening so I can't him but imagine he'd possible edge out with the win. Makes sense considering where he's at.

That's what the report was leaning on, haha. It's got to happen sometime. Don't know when or how soon of course.

I'd be into that. Much like how say ROH used to showcase the FIP Championship on their shows. It added much more credibility to the other championship and got it some good exposure all at the same time. They could continue to build up Langston while being showcased as the champ on RAW and Smackdown too boot.

NXT is non-canon so I doubt they will make any reference to the belt on the main shows.

**Obfuscation** · 01-19-2013, 08:49 PM

Tis a pipe-dream for sure.

It would be cool, but WWE doesn't really need another title like ROH did since they retired the Pure Title.

I loved the PAC debut. I've never seen anything of him but his in-ring ability is great.

**Obfuscation** · 01-20-2013, 02:37 PM

Can't wait till PAC gets the chance to work some lengthy singles bouts. Interested in what the WWE will let him use with more time.

PAC looked really impressive in his NXT debut. Loved that corkscrew shooting star press which was pulled off to perfection. Obviously anyone who has seen his work before NXT knows how great of a worker he is. It'll be interesting to see how he does in the coming weeks.

I'm really not sold on Big E at all to be honest. His mic work was quite poor on NXT and I think the five count gimmick is really silly. Though it seemed to be getting really over. It doesn't help that he had to face Camacho who is one of the worst workers WWE has right now. But yeah, he has a great look and all but nothing has impressed me about him at all since he debuted on the main roster and seeing his stuff on NXT.

The show overall was a real big meh to be honest.

Other random thoughts about NXT as its my first post in this thread:

* Leo Kruger reminds me of the wrestler Skinner who was in the WWF in the early 90's. And that isn't a good thing by the way (look him up).

* Ohno's commentary was pretty funny overall but he got annoying towards the end.

* Bo Dallas is the most overrated talent in NXT. No idea what WWE sees in him.

* Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt family are gold. Wyatt could be a favourite of mine for years to come.

* I absolutely adore Paige

SKINNER. I said the same thing only I coined him as "when Skinner meets the Crocodile Hunter". I like Kruger's twisted approach to his character though. He's not bad. Pairing with Ohno is random though. Don't see how Hero with his knockout gimmick seems to fit with a guy rocking a Game Hunter character go together, but oh well. Thought their tag vs International Airstrike was fairly solid so it's looking good for now.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who picked up on the similarities between Kruger and Skinner. I don't like the gimmick though to be honest, I just personally can't take it seriously. That's nothing against Kruger as a wrestler or performer as I've not really seen enough to judge him.
