It's hilarious how much you guys are turning on Balor when just a few months ago everyone was going nuts for the demon entrance. Never change internet
The last time the whole thread was unanimously marking out to the entrance was like... the second time he did it
and that was like a full year ago!

Same. I've watched that entrance about 10 times already and now I'm rewatching the match.

He's been really boring as a face, best thing he did since London is cosplay as Bayley.
Just think about Cole talking about the DEMON Balor.
imagine it in your head
there you go

He completely owns everything he is and he's so fucking cool for it. It's amazing.
Everyone being on the Balor hype train the first time around was completely justified.
1. Many weren't expecting WWE to go the facepaint route.
2. After looking at Demon Balor, many expected his facepaint to change at every PPV
3. This was before his boring ass, monotonous, teleprompter-reading, not-looking-at-the-camera robotic backstage interviews
Guy tells a better story with his body than his mouth. Bull Dempsey cut better promos

Dat shimmy when his name pops.
Looks like a Persona 5 trailer

It's the cycle. Wrassle-GAF turns on everyone eventually, no one is immune.

Kinshasa is a great replacement name for the Bomaye when you go down the route of why it is called that...
Kinda disappointed in myself I had to use Wikipedia to figure it out though.

I can easily imagine Nakamura kneeing shadows in the face.

VINTAGE DEMON....
He should be the replacement for the idol star member of your party
"OH MYYYY, it's NXT sensation the DEMON Balor!"

To be fair, all you do is talk snarky shit. So it all kind of runs together.

Still in the main event. They've stopped the match twice, please tell me they won't end it. It's been a brutal match and has the potential to match Zayn and Nakamura if they let it.

"BAAAAAA GAME. HA HA!"
Not true at all.
Can you point me to a few people that turned on him? Cause I never liked the guy, I gave him plenty of chances and I don't really care for his new japan stuff either.

It is, but it takes him a long damned time to get to the ring. Only Undertaker gets to take that long afaik.

If we needed any confirmation, it seems tonight was really Zayn's last NXT match

I love the opening chords in Nakamura's theme, gonna be great to pop the crowd when interrupting someone else's promo.
I'm actually fascinated with the opening few seconds of wrestling themes, they're so important.

Good for him. He deserves to be on the main roster. Hopefully Vince saw and appreciates what he's capable of tonight.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Awesome show, I liked everything. Even Corbin's match.
It made me laugh they spent 3 minutes of Joe's match undoing what people would do on purpose 20 years ago.

The main event felt rushed to me, the ref stoppage didn't help but I understand it was necessary. Right before Joe was tended to early on he had this intensity and looked just like a monster. Unfortunately it's hard to build that back up. I'm fine with the finish, but it reeked a little too much of overcoming the odds. Wanted to see Joe pick up the win too, but oh well. Great show tonight, top that Mania.

Well, Vince was pap'ed in the gorilla area by Triple H (I think it was Hunter anyways) so he will have seen the match anyways.
He'll be a racist charicature jobbing in dark matches within a month of coming "up" to the main roster
I pray he stays in NXT for as long as possible

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
if vince is still around....nope
The thing with Balor's demon entrance is that I always thought the end game would be for him to come out in full body paint eventually. But he just sticks to the same artwork now. It's getting kind of stale, which is weird to say considering he's probably done the entrance less than 10 times total in what, 2 years?
He was great as a heel in New Japan. Showed a lot of charisma. I think Anderson and Gallows will do him a lot of good if they're partnered with him.

Nak has pretty much been universally beloved for the last few years.

Caught up on NXT Takeover. Fantastic show all around with the last three matches in particular being excellent. Nakamura vs Zayn, Asuka vs Bayley, and Joe vs Balor were sooooooo good.

Once he gets promoted to the main roster and Creative fucks him over by having him do something lame repeatedly, we'll turn on him too.
Of course this reflects badly on Creative... not the talent. Ditto for anyone else with talent that WrassleGAF has turned on over the years. That said, if we're turning on Bálor before Vince has an opportunity to ruin him, there's something deeper there that should be scrutinized.

Yeah I don't know why they didn't book her as a monster against Bailey. I really like Bailey, but she shouldn't have been overpowering Asuka for most of the match.
