Let's
Fucking
Go

Wonder if they will time NXT Evolve to start after this has finished. Then we will see some of the participants in Evole and some in NXT.

Have avoided the spoilers for this, Bar a couple of photos. Always liked tough enough and shows like breaking ground, the recent Roku series too. Expecting to like this too.

Guess we will see how they go but there is some great potential there, especially from the women. Great presentation and promo shots.

Interesting mix of experience. Interested to see how they are handling this and who "wins" or whether its a case of everyone that survives gets a contract. A few should certainly fill the evolve roster.

Also looks like they pulled, played down Cutler James who was in the previous clips and looks to be debuting as part of the new NXT faction.

I'm enjoying everything about this apart from that douche bag feuding with Bubba Ray, its such an unnessary trope of these kind of reality shows and wish WWE hadn't taken this route with it.

Weird seeing Taker so personable and jokey!
By all accounts this is actually what Taker is like, ever since he retired I've consumed so much content of his and enjoy what he brings

Yeah, shockingly I know, I am excited enjoying it. I've always loved all the behind the scenes stuff and seeing the legends in another light.

I don't really see it with Luke. With the right gimmick I'm sure he can take off. He just seems kinda generic to me. I'm hoping for a Holyfield win. He seems likeable and fucking scary if they give him a no nonsene persona. He is a good year and a bit behind everyone else though in terms of training.

All the women look like potential stars. I'd be shocked if they aren't all in Evolve or NXT straight after this.

Anyone else silly enough to watch this? 😆

Have zero clue who could win this still. At least 3/4 of them look like they have a solid future in WWE either way.

Feels like they are clearly setting Brayden Ray up for a redemption arc. Its a bit too staged for my liking but they are likely creating a big character fans will like. Maybe they are stalling the mysterious shield knock off group on NXT until it aligns with Brayden returning and Cutler James having to leave LFG and being given a storyline motive to be upset and join the others.

Got to say after a weak start Troy Yearwood looks like he has a ton of potential. Can see a narcissist gimmick in his future.

Seeing holyfield going from scary looking psycho to kid like fan geeking out was fun. Nowhere near ready but he will be one to watch if he stays the course and sticks it out.

Anthony Luke is probably getting the win. Although I personally like Drake Morreaux and Shiloh Hill. Chris Island and Troy Yearwood would make a good tag team.

For the women, I think Zena Sterling is being set up for the win, but I like Dani Raye and Leigh Laurel. Tyra Mae Steele has the skills but I don't get enough personality from her.

I'm not a huge fan of the show so far. All of the stuff with BJ/Bubba and various people not getting along is obviously a work. The matches are definitely clipped, not in front of real crowds and not really shot like normal matches, so it's hard to get too invested. It also makes it somewhat pointless to try and gage where these people are at because we aren't seeing the whole thing. The coach competition thing isn't really working either. I'm sure it'll be fine if the shows ever get to just airing matches like 205 Live/Level Up did and it becomes a normal wrestling show, but I don't know if that'll happen.

Someone in WWE really likes Anthony Luke. He's really being pushed hard on the show. It's hard for me to tell where he's at though because we haven't seen live unedited matches. I think Penina has a lot of potential but her look is going to limit her to being a monster heel type. Zena will be a likeable face but we haven't seen much of her in the ring and what we did see didn't look good. Dani seems like she will be fine as she's good looking and athletic. Chris Island can move pretty well due to being an amateur wrestler and should be okay. Troy Yearwood really reminds me of Byron Saxton. We've already seen Jasper Troy, who is already fine as is Shiloh Hill and Cutler James, I'm not really high on as he's very generic.

She is an absolute beast. Big potential there.

Talking of which Elijah Holyfield did really well, with help from Anthony Luke. While I still yet to be convinced by him being particularly special he was good with the in ring work and he has some real size to him. Holyfield is very likeable and showed some charisma at the end. Has potential of he is cut out for the in ring work.

Ridiculously staged tonight but still enjoyable. This is surely the start of the Cutler right out and motivation for joining Darkstate.

Great finisher for Bayley Humphries. I like the acknowledgement. A little too much momentum at the top to control but this is going to he a heck of a finisher for her.
