Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Big E Reminds me more of Mark Henry, they could probably do an angle where he's Mark's protege.
Didn't know that he was, had my TV on low volume during his match, Henry/Big E have to feud than with Big E getting the rub once Henry retires.
Regal was talking alot on FCW about how he hoped someone like Mark Henry would mentor Big E, cause that'd do alot of good for his career.

Henry could help Big E to not be just another big guy in WWE, but how to be like Mark Henry(and in peoples opinions on this forum...how to draw ratings lol)

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Yeah, especially with the same exact weights that Henry used on his titantron, I think Big E will have the same World's strongest man gimmick or a similar one.
When you're a national powerlifting champion who has set competition records you don't need to hang around with Mark Henry to have the gimmick of being scarily strong.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

There's no other way to describe this week's NXT than just plain boring. Pretty lackluster matches and 2 that we've seen before. Highlight was probably Dusty Rhode's intro segment, or the Hunico/Camacho tag match (even that wasn't too special though).

Also, who the fuck made the graphics for the NXT tournament/belt/whatever? I've already aired my complaints at how ugly the title itself look, but the graphics made me want to throw up. One of them looked more like a fucking film reel than it did the actual title belt.

At least the crowd seemed a bit better this week. Still not good though.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Though I do feel like "new" NXT has largely been underwhelming thus far. It has a long way to go before it even surpasses FCW, let alone the Golden Age of NXT: Redemption.
From what I've seen, yeah. I think we set our expectations too high, especially with the "OMG OMG OMG, JR AND REGAL ON COMMENTARY AND DUSTY RHODES AS THE GM!"

I hope things get better once they "introduce" all the young stars and get things truly going.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Tamina & Paige vs Kaitlyn & Caylee was a decent diva tag match but Caylee made me laugh with her performance. Anyways, it seems like Kaitlyn's a heel on NXT and a face on Smackdown... is the new NXT canon anymore?

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I always wanted to watch what the Rollins', Rotundas and Steamboats were all about and so far, I've been impressed a lot. Even the womens matches (minus Raquel Diaz's lol) have been pretty good and Paige and Sofia scream potential although the latter has a bit of areas to improve on. With the introduction of the NXT title and with storylines building up slowly, I've found it really entertaining. And with Dusty as GM, Regal-JR as the commentary team and with Triple H running most of the NXT related stuff instead of Vince, I've found this show to be much better than Superstars, and sometimes, even Smackdown!

Jinder Mahal being the top heel of the show also is a major reason behind me liking this show a lot. :D

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

McGillicutty vs Gabriel was a good match. I expected it to be the best match of this week's show and it didn't disappoint.
Three of the four divas looked pretty good. Caylee is awful, which wasn't a surprise.
Ohno was really underwhelming this week.
Jinder looked decent. Bo is the limpest wrestler I've ever seen. Nothing he does looks like it could hurt.

The promos this week were really good.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I personally really like the tame feel of NXT - wrestling at its roots. There's something very old school and exciting seeing these guys coming out there and straight up wrestling. Might also be the the help of the underexposure which makes things feel fresh.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

The diva's tag team match wasn't bad to be honest. Sure Caylee seems stiff, but even though she has won the Diva's Championship down at FCW live events, she actually still continues to ring announce and not wrestle, so her being off is alright imo. I mean, she sure needs to get the ring dust off, but after only wrestling for about two years, and with one year only having about five matches, I am pretty sure she would be off.

Paige is extremely talented and I love her, Kaitlyn while I find her boring as a face her heel work is actually somewhat pretty interesting and Tamina is good as always. Caylee needs to improve a little but shall be fine! :)

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Underwhelming tournament matches this week, but maybe that's because I don't think Rollins is very good (McGillicutty looked good, as always) and I think Richie might be the least interesting performer in the company.

The other two matches were actually better than I'd have expected, so it was a strange week.

I fully expect the tournament final to be horrible.

This.

I still haven't seen the big deal with Rollins and Steamboat is just there. Both need some personality.

The tag team match was decent.

Nice to see Scotty.

The Leo Kruger promo was.... extremely weird..

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Wait, "Scotty" only appeared now?
Didn't that happen, like, before RAW 1000?

Damn, these taped episodes suck.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Richie Steamboat vs Jinder Mahal was actually pretty good for what it was, kept a decent pace. Was legit shocked to Scotty 2 Hotty on NXT and it was cool nonetheless. Tag match was decent but the finish was rather strange. And Seth Rollins vs Michael McGillicutty was a very good match.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Leo Kruger was interesting for quite possibly the first time ever. I've always said he was solid, if unspectacular, in the ring, but needed a character hook. That interview left me wanting more - to see where he's going. His past character attempts in FCW/NXT have been generic as hell - this one makes you take notice.

Jinder Mahal is the wrong guy to have in the finals. I think McGillacuddy vs Rollins/Steamboat should have been the final match.

Nobody seemed to know who Scotty 2 Hotty was - not much of a reax, but then more than half the folks there probably thought it was just another new developmental guy making his debut.

I disagree with you, sir. Jinder Mahal was built as the major heel of the NXT roster since day one, when he cut the promo of molding NXT into his vision. He has worked against top dogs like Sheamus, Ryback and Khali on Smackdown and Raw but McGillicutty hasn't, which takes him out of the equation. So when Rollins beats Mahal, a man who has such a background, he automatically gets over as the champion.

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I'm extremely impressed with the major changes to the new season of NXT. The full sail kids are doing a great job with the vignettes and it truly shows. It has even influenced the videos showing on WWE TV(Wade Barrett). I will be writing a weekly review of the show as well as character reviews on a weekly basis. I've followed NXT(the new FCW for two years as well as watching all the way back to episode 1). I look forward to your responses and thoughts on the upcoming blogs. I will review character development in many different aspects ranging from introduction of the character to the current state as well as the development from beginning to end; long term and short term potentials; upside and downfalls, potential future feuds and standings on the main roster, and finally the correct times to make the jump. I will post my reviews and blogs in this thread in the future, unless it becomes necessary to post it in its own stand alone thread. I also am doing the same for TNA(will be in its own thread and will have a link to the thread in my NXT writings)

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

Is it me or do some of the NXT guys have more presence that some of the midcard/undercard guys in WWE?

As for this week's NX, didn't think much of it really. Was nice to see The Worm again. Oh and The Ascension is always welcomed on my TV. As for the main event, I thought it was a hot mess. Rollins fucked it up tbh. He has no idea how to pace a match. The only thing that's saving his ass right now is that he has presence. But really Rollins doesn't have a fucking clue how to structure a match. McGuillicutty did a good job though but who cares about him?

Re: Official NXT Weekly TV Show Discussion Thread

I didn't say Jinder was the "wrong" choice. Jinder's currently the most relevant one in the group, so it made sense for him to advance. Match quality in the later rounds was obviously hurt in the process, which was my primary point. It's not even really Jinder's fault. The "FCW Faces" in the tournament aren't nearly as good in the ring as some people think (themselves included, most likely). The drop from Gabriel to Seth Rollins is quite large, and it only got worse from there.

I enjoyed the hell out of the Rollins/McGullicutty match this week, except the crowd nearly ruined it with their overdone 'OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!' chants. Only in Florida people! ¬__¬
