Okay, her facial expressions and selling is already getting better, but I now know what it is! lol, thanks Billy Gunn, she's got skittery feet!
It's a bit like driving, you can't buy ring time in terms for in confidence.
Her first televised match post 'training mode activation' was awful, her second was better (we know her third is not good cause they taped it and she forgot to kick out, but that was before the takeover match) so what i'm saying is she's getting better, but she may need to work out her feet and get more confident. I genuinely believe she should be down there for at least another year to gain steam, and ring confidence.
I wondered if they were going to explain that botched finish on the airing tonight, but they didn't. I am pretty sure Becky was supposed to kick out. Emma was clearly confused by how she won. The refs went over and talked to the announcers and I think it was decided on the fly to send Becky and Charlotte back in the ring.
I don't think so. I think Becky has been doing this long enough to not botch that egregiously. And she certainly knows she is not going to take a pin off of a move that wasn't even a signature. I think that it's way more likely that Dana was supposed to break up the pin.
Yeah, there was a lot of confusion around the ring. I thought they would end up editing something different than what actually happened live after they sent the faces back in (on the fly perhaps).
Really fun show! I didn't even notice until almost the end that it was actually an hour and 24 minutes long.
- The 8 man tag match was really fun, you knew who would win, but I loved that pop for Enzo & Cass :mark:
- Eva Marie is still not that great. I loled at Corey saying Eva was one of the most talented women in the world :lol I wish Carmella had won that match but they're building up Eva.
- Liking all the video packages for the girls in the main event! Dana Brooke is still so annoying though, I can't wait for the day Devin snaps and punches her :lol Also Dana looks like a friggin Barbie Doll with those pigtails...
- LOL Bayley's Mum talking too much and Bayley having to tell her off, so cute.
- Elias Sampson... when he did get hot? :yum: I really like this new look of his. Love the BULLFIT chant though :lol LMAO when they said Bull was working on his "ab", lol, just one ab :lol
- That boo Dana got when she attacked Emma, the crowd really hates her haha, she's doing a good job as heel. Not a bad match, outside of the weird botched ending. LMAO Emma's face, she was like "...huh? I won? OH I WON!" :lol
I heard a small pop for Gable, impressive when you're wrestling against Enzo & Cass, who were their usual boring selves but the crowd was hot for them. Gable is very interesting, I want to see more of his in ring ability than we got to see in that match. Poor Carmella, she was getting very mild pops even when standing across the ring from the most hated female on the roster. Her moon walk was funny
I think they didn't edit it because it was handled well after the initial 'WHAT THE FUCK' reactions. If it wasn't for their faces you wouldn't be able to tell it was a botch. Just Emma won then they all scrapped after.
I love the lenght of that show, better matches, more exposition for everybody and more importantly, it showed what NXT could really do if it was a real show... and it was really really good
- The pop Enzo got. Oh My God ! This makes me sad that we didn't got to see them in the tag team titles match at TakeOver, it would've been such a great moment
- Can they turn Becky Lynch heel please ? She is like the G-Version of John Cena between her promos on Raw and this one with the Australia joke. She's very good on the ring but her promos need some work...
- I like Eva Marie, she looks like a star, have a lot of heat and she really do act like a heel on the ring. Sure, it needs some work but in one year, she could be good
- Tyler Breeze's idea better put him in the map, I'm sick of seeing him losing, he better be beating Finn Balor for the title at the next PPV
- And speaking of Finn, he needs a character NOW ! That promo was terrible, everytime he was done with a sentence, he needed at least 10 seconds to think about the other one ( and the sentences weren't good ).
- Bullfit is doomed to receive Bullshit chants when he will do his heel-turn...
- The Main-Event was great but that is mainly because I love that handicap booking. Perfect way to get heat for the heels and pops for the faces. It is also a good way to have the heels looks credible just like the faces
- Happy about the botch since Emma deserves it and I'm sure that this opportunity will allow her to show what she can do. Just give her a promo and a match against Bayley and she can finally be the diva she should be
- I find it funny that this improvised segment at the end " the losers are pissed off about the loss and decide to beat up the winners " was one of the best heel moments of the week and was created in 10 seconds by the faces
It was no edit. The crowd basically no-sold her. My wife didn't recognize who was coming out at first and was prepared to cheer. But she sat on her hands once she saw it was Eva.
EDIT: If they were going to edit something about that match, they would have taken out the numerous "You can't wrestle" chants.
Liked it when Cass threw Enzo over the ropes, that looked sweet, the finish of the match sucked though, Cass barely touched him, Enzo just jumped with Cass standing awkwardly there. with his hands by him.
