OK. Sami Zayn's New Year's long tweet gave me all the feels. ALL OF THEM.

Sami Zayn @iLikeSamiZayn
1st January 2014 from TwitLonger



2013 was an incredible year for me, and it was unlike any year in my career or life before it. It was a year of learning and growth, as well as a year of great change on both a professional and personal level. It was not without it's ups and downs, but mostly ups. New Years Eve is 1 of 3 times a year that I like to reflect on the year past (my birthday and the anniversary of my wrestling debut being the other two). So I thought, why not do it here with you guys, in more than 140 characters, no less?

I won't babble on and on about what it means to end up in the WWE 11 years after getting started on this amazing journey through the world of pro wrestling, but needless to say that on a professional level this has been a great year.

I have had some of my favourite matches of my career in 2103. The 2/3 falls match with Antonio Cesaro obviously was a huge one for me. The match I had against Jack Swagger, I think flew under the radar a little bit since it was so soon after the 2/3 falls, but it was one of my definitely one of my favourites. My #1 contender match with Adrian Neville was also one that I am extremely proud of. After years of wrestling one of my closest friends and greatest rivals all over the world, what a thrill it was to tear the house down together in the WWE. I would mention my match Bo Dallas for the NXT Championiship too, but I'm still trying to live that one down. I'm sure the eventual rematch will be just as good of a match with a much happier ending!

On a personal level, I want to thank all my fans, old and new, for the support. It sounds corny, but your support means a ton to me and it is truly why I do what I do, and that somehow seems more relevant now more than ever. I'll do my best to make you guys all proud in 2014. We are in this together.

Natalya v. Emma was great. The rise of the #Emmalution continues! Hopefully when she makes it on the main roster she will change to hashtag #Emmageddon.

If John Cena's meme is "I Win" Kofi's should be "I Lose".

Big Cass did a variation on The Temptations "My Girl" and it was good (you kids don't know about the Temps), I enjoyed that segment much more than I should of. Special mention to Regal calling Cass "swine" after outshining his boy Aiden English. I can't wait for Enzo to get healthy again and reunite with Cass.

I keep forgetting Mason Ryan is in the company.

There is nothing to say about the Main Event except every WWE fan should watch it, like right now. What are you reading this for go watch it again!

Good show again this week. Zayn/Kruger was quite satisfying for what it was, but Cesaro/Zayn is the measuring stick when you're talking about excellent matches and as a consequence, I'm starting to get a little greedy with my expectations almost like a drug addict who is looking for an even stronger buzz, nevertheless it was still good and Zayn's spin-out powerbomb was beautifully executed.

They were putting over the 2/3 falls matches on commentary, but I'm not really that much of a fan TBH. Much preferred the old time limit matches that they used to have in FCW.

I'm wondering if Kruger losing 2-0 was a way of writing him off TV.

Sami Zayn is a wrestling genius. How can a guy be this good at almost everything? His ring-work is as good as I've ever seen. He will win the WWE championship someday, I'm 100% certain.

2-0? First time ever?

Surprised, total kayfabe burial against Zayn. I wonder, I really do.

This is either 'Zayn is the fucking best' or 'Kruger just isn't good enough' ... I hope it's the former, because I like the Kroogs

Really good episode of NXT.

Kofi/Rusev was alright for what it was

Natalya/Emma was good

The Colin Cassady/Aiden English sing-off was fun and entertaining. Cassady insulting Aiden to the tune of "My Girl" was hilarious. The crowd singing with him was even better :lol

Breeze/Ryan was nothing noteworthy

Zayn/Kruger was great. Another great babyface performance by Zayn and Kruger was good as well.

Good show (Y)

I actually enjoyed Natalya/Emma a ton. Nice quick pace to it, and I liked Emma's submissions.

Zayn/Kruger was pretty good, but seemed like a total carryjob by Sami. Thought he did a great job of making Kruger look strong in defeat. Honestly the more I see of Zayn the more I love watching him.

Was this weeks episode not the last one to be taped in the last set, or is there one more episode to air yet?

Some ratings for New Years NXt edition:

Rusev/Kofi- **, wow I really thought that Rusev looked pretty bad here compared to his other matches. Still a decent bout, props to Kofi for that
Natalya/Emma- ***1/4, maybe not as good as some people made it out to be, but still a very good match between two very good divas. Emma and Paige both have a bright future
Kruger/Zayn- ***1/4, ok Kruger sucked balls here. He was awful, and his finishers are awful. He was lucky to have Sami Zayn in the ring with him, otherwise..

Overall a good NXT edition as always

Е тфа е баце, изкефих се на макс като Александър Русев еба циганина Кингстън! Евалата му правя, да продължава да мачка все така и скоро да се добира до главния ростър!

You could tell they obviously made English have a horrible song so that nobody would cheer for him.

Either way, it was still great segment, and funny to hear "Big Cass" singing disses to the tune of other songs. This segment proved he can be great on the mic even without Enzo. Not saying he doesn't need Enzo, but great to see it's not just gonna be Enzo doing most of talking and Cass doing most of wrestling.

Big Cass could get over without Enzo. And vice versa. But I think Enzo is a better talent.

No idea on what to think about the Rusev fiasco on this show. Left asking "why?" after all of that build up he's had. Not sure it means much, but eh. Guess it's a way to put him on the backburner so he doesn't look TOO dominate before finally branching out into the championship picture.
