This Rich Swann theme is nuts

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Has Asuka yet to lose a match? I think this time she actually makes Bayley tap out instead of holding out not to tap.

Asuka's undefeated since her arrival. I think it would be cool to have her just give up the NXT belt for a tournament or something so she can jump to the main roster. But at the same time, like with Rusev, the unbeatable character is tricky for when they inevitable lose.

 

[Jimmy King]

the CWC has had some incredible themes

 

[Bluekaveli]

NEVER

Yep, she's going to tap because she isn't 4 real enough.


This Jason Lee kid is a fan of X Pac with those nunchucks I see.

 

[Jimmy King]

Swann is money

 

[Ithil]

I like how Swann talks in his interviews, a sort of likable cockiness.

 

[The Shapesmith]

Jason Lee was infinitely better than Ho Ho Lun. Swann looked like a million bucks and the crowd was super into it. I always forget how good that standing 450 looks and I imagine the casual WWE fan would lose their damn mind seeing that. Off to a good start for the CWC this week.

They really should instigate a call up clause for NXT champions soon. i.e, Asuka, if you win this match, you can relinquish your NXT championship for an option of moving up to the main roster, or you can stay to defend it again.

I think that would be a good way of getting people at the top of NXT called up, create some drama over 'what will they choose? when will they choose it?' and not make former NXT champs look weak upon callup.

I'd like to give that to ember moon (it looks like that, at contrary of other indy wrestlers, Athena is much less known) and the only benefit that will give to bayley is more magic to his call out of being the only 2-time NXT women champion.

But Asuka still cant speak fluently, and that loss can hurt her more.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Holy SHIT that jumping headscissors

Jason Lee is pretty rough

Someone else mentioned Asuka doing the same thing as she has beaten everyone but I doubt they don't make her do the job on the way out.



THAT 450!

 

[Jimmy King]

Why didn't they call it a frankensteiner!?

I like how Swann talks in his interviews, a sort of likable cockiness.

Great way to put it.

 

[ghostmind]

Swann is ridiculous (in a good way).

Lee better than HoHo.

 

[Pikma]

These chinese guys are mediocre as fuck, too bad they'll both get hired, even if only one makes it it'll be the worst of them

 

[Ithil]

Lee would probably do well in developmental. More seasoning needed but he's way better than Hoho.

I've been bumping Bobby Roode's theme on repeat. It really is amazing.

Haha that is amazing

Shades of Christian's GOAT theme

 

[galvatron]

That elbow looked pretty legit

Its like that because wrestling in China has just begun. Ho Ho is the creator. They had no seasoned vets to train them unless they go to Japan.

So its going to take time for China to catch up to what wrestling is currently is.

 

[The Shapesmith]

Noam Dar and Gurv Sihra were nowhere close to being on the same page. That was hard to watch at times and may be one of my least favorite matches of the first round. Now Dar has to carry Ho Ho Lun....yikes!

 

[oddjobs]

Noam Dar vs. Gurv Sihra isn't very good so far.

 

[ghostmind]

Wait until the match is over first!

But yes, that was underwhelming.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Noam Dar and Gurv Sihra were nowhere close to being on the same page. That was hard to watch at times and may be one of my least favorite matches of the first round.

Damnit you're watching faster than the rest of us but Yea this match has been nothing spectacular.

Was it worse than the Ho Ho Lun match?

 

[Jimmy King]

Jack Gallagher is ready for the main roster. He may be able to save the Vaudevillains.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Jack holds himself up like a true gentleman.

Fabian looks like a legit killer though.

 

[oddjobs]

Was it worse than the Ho Ho Lun match?

About on par IMO. They struggled to make spots work and Dar spent too much time fucking around, posing to the crowd. Next round is Dar vs. Lun.

 

[plagiarize]

Let's go Gallagher!

 

[galvatron]

I am so team Gallagher after the promo and entrance.

 

[Bluekaveli]

At least someone is challenging Sheamus for most pale guy in the company.

 

[Jimmy King]

Gallagher vs default CAW

 

[Brian_FETO]

LOL this bootleg Sabbath theme

 

[The Shapesmith]

Was it worse than the Ho Ho Lun match?

I feel like it was actually. Just a lot of miscommunication and it felt like the match got away from both of them. It was strange because I enjoy what I have seen from Noam Dar but yeah this was not good.

 

[ghostmind]

Gallagher is awesome.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Gallagher trying to get the chicken wing in.

I love all of his spinning and shit, it's different.

 

[The Shapesmith]

Jack Gallagher was absolutely tremendous in this match and his charisma is off the charts. Aichner outside of his botched springboard kick looked good and was a great foil for Gallagher. Tremendous match!

 

[Jimmy King]

Eichner is pretty good too. He just looks generic as fuck.

Gallagher vs. ZSJ please.

 

[galvatron]

YOOOO

THAT POWER BOMB

 

[Jimmy King]

dooooooooope

 

[ghostmind]

Brie better watch her back.

 

[Brian_FETO]

Awesome match

That frog splash looked great and the dropkick was insane

 

[Bluekaveli]

What in the hell was that finish? I need a replay to see the impact.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Good match!

 

[plagiarize]

CWC is must see television. Thank you both indeed. What a match.

 

[Ithil]

Sign both of those guys pronto.

At least Itami improved his English a bit while he was out.

 

[plagiarize]

Sign both of those guys pronto.

I am found saying this after more than half the matches.

 

[TraBuch]

Jack Gallagher is amazing. What matches should I check out?

 

[Cheat Code]

Both deserve to be signed.

Gallagher obviously already has a good gimmick. Aichner just needs a bit of character.
