Oh shit, all the Zayniness made me forget about him completely ruining the entire event. It's a testament to the NXT roster that I rate this special one star after his appearance.

They better not do a event around WrestleMania because it will completely embarrass the show of shows.

I'm sure they have names stamped on them, too.
"Here's a brass ring, Sami"
"It says 'Booker T' on it"
"Great job tonight, see you next week!"
Point taken.
Yeah, that's a good one. There's been some seriously awesome music this past year.

HHH has gotten so good at the internet
Some people like to pretend Kane survived the worst gimmicks, but those people are delusional.
Booker T
• Thrown out of the arena on his WWE debut
• NWO joke member
• Joke tag team with Goldust
• 'Who the blue hell are you'
• 'You're a thug, Booker'
• 'Animal style bestiality sex'
How Booker remained over is fucking incredible to me. Nobody went through the amount of shit WWE put him through. I mean, was this dude ever booked to go over up until his King of the Ring reign? He did get to attack the Undertaker during mind games though, and that was great.

"This one was Del Rio's, Hideo"
"Adrian, I took this one from Dolph Ziggler"
"You earned Mistico's, Kevin"
"Here Finn, this is Sheamus' ring"
"And last but not least, Sami, here is my most prized brass ring, some punk kid UFC fighter owned it"

He was good. Alex Riley on the other hand was complete shit. "how do Itami and Balor communicate? Do they even speak English?" "Never saw a woman do that before!" I'm glad Graves followed up saying he never saw anyone do that before.

He was able to logically segway into the required trending on twitter spot by putting the in ring action over.
As a wrestler, I felt he was meh. But being able to pull that off on commentary makes me respect him.

I still feel bad for Graves having to retire so young even if he wasn't great at wrestling, but he seems set, he just got a brand new two year contract, I guess as a commentator.

He was always a solid worker, good on promo but has a really shitty look of being tall (not not too tall) and really skinny (and not in the muscle way). But yeah, hope he can make a good career out of commentary.

At first I thought it was a good idea to pair Balor and Itami, but now I'm not so sure. Balor just outshines him in every way possible, and I mean no offense to Itami by that. I mean they literally had the spotlight on Balor after the match. It's clear that they think of him as a level above.

Good work. luchanods.jiff is gonna make it my friend. Definitely my jiff of the year.
That's a goddamn shame. I wish he would have had a bigger chance to fail if he was going to fail. He was excellent tonight, though, and looked fantastic.

Yeah, Itami did all the selling working to that hot tag. Hoping Itami finds his groove soon. The wars between those two should be fantastic. Just gotta figure out where Itami fits in.
Funny thing is all of the matches he was in in 2014 were at least very good, and two of them were MOTY candidates for me.

Hey Fox318, I think we need a new I'm the captain now Photoshop, with Trips talking to Vince.
And maybe a Sami Zayn one while you're at it.

I second this.
I think the spotlight was unintentional, because it was used to spotlight Itami and Bálor when they did the tag team pose at the end.
But yes, Bálor is much flashier and takes the spotlight, but he was always going to be a big deal faster while Itami took a little longer to be ready.
But Itami does have something special himself. Maybe not "main event of Wrestlemania" but I think he'll be a success in his own right. His new attire looks great.

Think about it; everyone's going ape shit over a title change for the NXT CHAMPIONSHIP. Not WWE. Really goes to show how much everyone sees that title now. It's like the second most prestigious belt in the company now.
