MT 918 Posted March 21, 2019 How about that one match tonight? Reveal hidden contents Was pretty sure either Matt Riddle or Adam Cole (BAY BAY) was gonna win. It seems like Aleister and Ricochet are main roster bound sooner rather than later, didn't think they'd give Velveteen another title, and didn't think they'd put a title on Riddle that quickly. Loved that Aleister/Riddle double knock-out kick spot. So good. 1 ISO Share this post Link to post

Mogwai 6 Posted March 21, 2019 Riddle aggravates me for some reason. I think it's just the persona that rubs me the wrong way. He's certainly a good worker. ISO Share this post Link to post
Psycho666Soldier 287 Posted March 25, 2019 It's always funny hearing about the people who don't like Riddle. And I don't mean you're it condescendingly, it's just odd for me. I got into Riddle during the latter half of his career, and I thought it was just understood that his gimmick was great. I like seeing the people that can't stand him, though, as typically I hate this kind of personality, too, and it's nice to see a differing opinions that can still respect how good he is in the ring. 5-way was insane. In a way, it was kind of a highlight of NXT's current best, while also somewhat passing the torch to those sticking around post-Mania. I think Cole finally gets his run at the top of NXT with Undisputed behind him, and the show is put on the shoulders of he, Riddle, and Dream until their inevitable call-ups. On the male singles side anyway. ISO Share this post Link to post
Mogwai 6 Posted March 25, 2019 I will always be a sucker for that dX model of "Stable of top guys who have all the gold for a bit" so I'm here for the Undisputed Era. Now that they're all healthy and there are 4 of them, they can definitely for a short minute hoard all the NXT belts. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 918 Posted March 28, 2019 Reveal hidden contents Still not really liking how far Black/Ricochet went in the Dusty Classic. I feel like it's sort of a "farewell NXT" tour for the two of them, which is fine...but I think there was a better way to go about that. I love both those dudes, but them as a team just didn't do much for me. ISO Share this post Link to post

MT 918 Posted August 19, 2019 Well, NXT had a good run Quote The new two-hour NXT television show that will be announced tonight on Raw for the USA Network will have a September 18 debut date. It was imperative on the WWE side to get a jump on AEW, which debuts with its October 2 show from the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. One would think with a date so close to happening, that the locations for the early shows would also be announced tonight. NXT will be airing on 8-10 p.m. Eastern time on USA on Wednesdays, head-to-head with AEW on TNT. Source ISO Share this post Link to post
Psycho666Soldier 287 Posted August 19, 2019 Eh, if they don't change the booking and general presentation formula, I'm fine with it. My only concern would be whether the 2 hours oversaturates the product. They have enough talent to fill it, but I think part of the charm of NXT is not knowing who will actually be there week to week. It also allows for more time to build and hype. As usual, I will be cautiously optimistic until given reason otherwise. ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted August 19, 2019 I think their week-to-week TV booking hasn't been great in a long time, but it's solid enough that it builds to great Takeovers. It's a missable TV show but must-watch PPVs. I kinda don't see that changing without adding something to the creative team (Ryan Ward plz) They do need to bolster the roster somewhat too. Maybe the guys from the recent newcomers tournament will be enough, or adding in a few more main-roster guys for some star power. I don't think you can run a show that's partly filled with green developmental wrestlers and so-so TV booking if the plan is to go head-to-head with AEW. ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 918 Posted August 20, 2019 One of the things that I think makes NXT special is how little input it seems Vince has. With it being on cable TV every week, he's most likely going to have much more, and that really concerns me. 1 1 ISO Share this post Link to post

Blackjak 57 Posted September 1, 2019 UK Takeover was pretty great... Reveal hidden contents Dar and Travis Banks was alright, not much to be invested in. But not bad either. Cesaro and Dragunov put on exactly the kind of match I'd hope for and it was great. Holy FUCK that triple threat tag match. Mastiff and Joe Coffey was a great hoss battle Really didn't care for Storm/Ray... just was lacking I thought. And Kay Lee Ray does absolutely nothing for me, so that doesn't help... Jesus Christ that main event was spectacular. Watch it now. 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted September 2, 2019 WALTER vs Bate went for it Triple Threat tag was really good too. ISO Share this post Link to post
Blackjak 57 Posted September 3, 2019 With NXT coming to USA and becoming a 2 hour weekly show? Almost certainly. At least if you call Main Roster folk that don't have much to do "Old". And NXT and Main Roster folk have had a special match on all of the NXT UK Takover specials, I believe. Balor/Devlin was a banger, as well. ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted September 3, 2019 It can't be a developmental territory anymore if it's going head to head with AEW to put them out of business. A lot more older stars definitely have to be on it. 1 ISO Share this post Link to post
MT 918 Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I don't know if i'm just not in a wrestling mood today, but i've watched all but the main event from last night's NXT and I couldn't get into any of them. Edit: Sasha/Io was great, though. Edited July 3, 2020 by MT ISO Share this post Link to post
Vic Boss 612 Posted March 30, 2021 Probably sucks for WWE since they were primarily using NXT to sabotage the competition, but it'll be better for the wrestling business on the whole that they're on separate days. Though who knows, if the NHL contract comes up and NBC isn't interested any more they might just move it back in not too short of a time ISO Share this post Link to post
