Top 5 right now:

1. Seth Rollins
2. Shinsuke Nakamura
3. AJ Styles
4. Sasha Banks
5. John Cena

Mainly based on 'will I actually sit through a match with this performer in it?'.

It ain't a controversial top 5. I'm liking what WWE is putting down as their top people right now, so my top 5 is probably close to their own internal top 5. And yeah, I've really come around to Cena since he's moved to the mid-card, had consistently good to great matches, and been making funny mainstream appearances where he comes off well.

6. Cesaro

Just to get that in there. I want to see him move up in my top five. If Cena is actually gonna be part time and kinda just show up for the marquee stuff, then Cesaro will move up - but Cena was outstanding last year.

Notable contenders: KO, Jericho, Charlotte, Sami Zayn, Neville

As for earlier top fives, I was an attitude era guy, until the last few years, like so many. I don't think my top 5 of the attitude era would be realistic cos I'd just say HHH, SCSA and Mick Foley even though they might bore me a bit compared to the talent we've got going on now.

I also appreciate Ric Flair, having watched a lot of his stuff on youtube. I also have various opinions on indie talent cos I work with a certain company I'm not gonna name so my REAL top five will remain a mystery.

I like how they have 2 title matches and the nominal underdog for either match didn't make the SummerSlam poster which came out after those matches were set.

 

[Plywood]

A good percentage of the crowd is more concerned with getting their chants over then actually enjoying the show or the matches.

No what, no! It's just enthusiasm! The NXT crowd can't chant whatever they want cause they paid for a ticket. Right?

Another thing about NXT that is rather shocking is how awful their graphic designers are. It was particularly glaring when we saw Bobby Rude's Titantron logo. Like, look at this

and this

And what the fuck is this?

It's like they're using full sail students as slave labor or something.

CFO$ does their theme songs since they carry over to the main roster, but I think the NXT level titantron packages are done by actual Full Sail students.

 

[gun_haver]

The Shinsuke graphic is perfect. What do you want? Embossed? It needs to take up the whole screen so he can collapse in ecstasy at the sound of his music, pal.

 

[dream]

like man, take away their Powerpoint

 

[MG310]

I imagine at least some of them will be getting a presentation upgrade for Takeover.

I'm fine with keeping Shinsuke's simple though.

So what the heck does TM61 mean?

Other then probably being a move in Pokemon

 

[gun_haver]

yeah okay fair point they do suck in general

Someone yesterday said it was The Mighty and 61 is the country code they're from.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I assume it's Thorne + Miller although they've referenced the phrase "The Mighty Don't Kneel" in NXT promos.

 

[dream]

 

[MG310]

They've used the "We are the mighty and the mighty don't kneel" line a couple of times now too.

That Roode theme is complete and utter dogshit. Really shocked to hear so many people like it. Good Christ, it is bad.

Breeze's makes sense there since it's reminiscent of a Calvin Klein ad.

I've definitely noticed a HUGE dropoff in how they're doing logos. These ones you mentioned are really terrible, especially so. I feel it has a huge, huge difference in how people are perceived. They need to fix it.

The golden age

 

[jobber]

is Nakajima joining LIJ or was he being a bitch after the match?

 

[Zach]

Are the generic logos/fonts/whatevers following NXT wrasslers to the main roster? Or do they fancy 'em up?

 

[dream]

Just whipped up a couple of logos for WWE to use for the next Wrestlemania main event

 

[Zach]

At least they don't misspell the names like NWA/WCW... >_>

 

[imBask]

blue and purple/pink, really Dream? do you want our audience to have a heart attack or something?

 

[dream]

Particularly proud of this one

 

[Boy Wander]

Broken Matt on Jericho's podcast is magical.

 

[Nocturnowl]

So this teaser means a Bloodborne hunter is coming to NXT right?

Close, slap some extra bold on "The Rock" part of the equation to truly get those graphic design props, maybe even highlight it in red!

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

She's had some nerdy gimmicks in the past so there's a chance. I'm just happy they're strapping a rocket on her as Athena was the best US woman wrestler when she was in the indies.

Both shows were great last night. Gallagher vs Aichner really blew me away as I hadn't seen anything from either guy before.

 

[Gurrry]

listening to these review a smackdown songs that were submitted, it makes me wish i wouldve taken the time to make one because damn most of these are horrible

 

[MC Safety]

Broken Matt is awesome. Whoever recommended the Jericho podcast with Hardy is getting a pony in the mail.

 

[klonere]

Catching up on G1.

Tanahashi is a fucking genius. Ishii is the best seller in the game.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Whomever is doing the wrestling column on forbes should quit. Why are you reporting on something Bret Hart said almost 2 months ago?

 

[Boy Wander]

Want me one of these.

Right? What's next? Watching 15 year old episodes of Raw and writing about them as if they were live even though nobody responds to it?

 

[Bluekaveli]

Benoit style motherfuckers!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Who is Ember Moon?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Benoit style motherfuckers!

What is this? No constant camera cuts every two seconds? This is garbage!

Spoiler

the sequence looked great, wish Dunn would disappear or fucking relax with the cuts.

I bought the Ctrl Alt Del Brother nero one from Matt Hardys shop. Think it was sent by Reby as I had to get the inital one cancelled as it had my old address an she responded and it just come from this hand written package. A well run operation clearly.

I mean, it came fairly quick, so I can't complain really.

This sounds like the premise for a wacky reality show!

John Cena has rules, but one of the Bellas is a free spirit!

A lot of newcormers during yhat period had the same style titantrons. At least it's not just a song then a shot of the crowd lol! I feel sorry for Mauro as he doesn't even have some kind of theme yet, he just huffs and puffs to his seat.

Ambrose is on the main roster though.

David Flair's theme was better than a lot of current themes

 

[Bluekaveli]

Now look up a picture of Kevin Dunn and enjoy the laugh even more. You know Cole is a little similar as I've heard he doesn't really give a fuck about wrestling but he has respect for the business at least unlike Kevin Dunn. I've heard only horror stories from him, theres also a shoot interview with Cornette and Paul Bearer, Paul digs into him as well.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

It would be great for the right wrestler, but that wrestler is definitely not even close to being Bobby Roode.
