Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion
IMO, but I see possible main event potential in Grey, he's young, got the look and decent ring skills(will improve over time) and has a likeability to him, when I've heard him speak on the mic. I'm a huge Neville fan but his mic skills are subpar but who knows, he has time on his side. Maybe im bis, but god it feels good to be English atm!

Hopefully all the English stars in the WWE will hold gold in the company, and I feel certain ones like Barrett are a lock on for top gold.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion
Great main event this week. British Ambition does it again and steals the show. They're such a strong babyface team. It's almost amazing to know WWE has these guys right now. Main roster's faces are suffering with only Hell No to keep it afloat. Future should be bright for both Neville & Grey. I'm hoping at least.
Summer Rae isn't someone I think I'll care about, yet, I'll give them credit for making the Divas actually feel like they matter. It was rather impressive. Centering the division around Paige has done well for them so far. If it keeps up then more power to them.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion
Riley vs Graves was a very good match, they have great chemistry . I just love that Riley's spinebuster  . The main-event was great, I liked how the Wyatt Family played the monster heel role. NEvilee and Grey played the babyface underdogs perfectly and they put up a good match. My only problem is that Neville worked so much on the Waytt's arms. He's not a sumbission guy so he should stop trying to be one. Great reaction for Grey&Neville after they won the champiionship

But The Wyatt Family are brawlers and big powerful guys. It does make sense seeing as if you weaken their arms, they can't throw as heavy strikes and they may find it harder to throw them about with slams etc. But it didn't pay off at they, as Harper and Rowan just continued to use their power. It would have made sense had Harper and Rowan thought about it.
Although I am a Brodie Lee / Luke Harper mark, and nothing he does is wrong. SO FUCK YOU ERIC ROWAN

Seriously...
I like Riley and everything, and i even sat watching this match thinking he could very well be WWE's next face of the company after Cena. Great clean cut look, can talk and has charisma, and he can get the fans on his side which he proved when he first broke out as a face feuding with Miz.
But god he needs to slow down in the ring. The whole intense baby-face Cena stick he's channeling makes all of his moves look so un-natural just like Cena.
The spinebuster this week and the week before. Slow it down, and execute it properly like a real AA Spinebuster otherwise he's gonna hurt someone by not planting them properly.
Really impressed by Grey. I think he could a top english baby face star that Steve Lewington could have been if Lewington was a better talker.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion
I don't really see an issue w/ Rileys pace. He's super over and way way improved from when he first debuted. Dug the match w/ Graves, both looked good in it.
Main event was great. Both teams are just a bunch of fun to watch and it's actually nice to see the babyface team in control for a good portion of the tag. Big boot to Neville was superb. Reactions to the win makes the titles seem worth so much more. FIRST EVA. FIRST EVA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS

The reaction after the match I had mixed feelings on. They played the shocked and in awe champions really well, gasping for breath and pouring with sweat, but they didn't actually say anything of meaning. They just hugged and spewed out broken sentences. It was a nice moment and I still think they came off well, but it was nothing exceptional.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion
Solid show from top to bottom this week. Didn't like the darker ring mat though, hopefully that's not permanent.
Summer Rae reminds me of Michelle McCool more than anything. Looking at the NXT Diva roster though, it's Paige and a bunch of green types. Given wwe doesn't use their diva roster for much, then should send down a couple of the women. OR even better, have had Sara Del Ray play the Dusty role, so that she could have got physically involved, or could down the line. Paige vs Del Ray would be a match I'd like to see. Or send Natalya down, as she's better off than being with Khali and Hornswoggle and have her bullying around the NXT divas and then have Del Ray confront her for coming down to take on trainees and then challenger her - Nattie vs Sara Del Ray!
But I digress...
What is Alex Riley's character hook/gimmick? With the Miz he was sort of Mini-Miz, the cocky (former) jock. But as a face exactly what is he? Most wrestlers start out pretty gimmicked to get fans to care about them and then gradually lose the gimmick to be rather gimmickless regular guy just fighting. Riley seems to be gimmickless but never had the character hook established for folks to care about him. I thought he was going to play the high school jock who can't let those "glory days" go even 10-20-30 years later. We've all run into "those guys", he could always talk about the touchdown he scored in highschool, or the home run he hit, or winning prom king, or all the rad parties he threw etc in his promo's and call his opponents nerds or geeks who got cut from JV teams. He could wear his letterman jacket, his class ring etc.
