All WWE talent and producers and TV production people are currently all set for WWE TLC tonight in Cleveland.
I'm told tensions are at a fever pitch and have been all day. Many guys on the card tonight want to go out of their way to be the match of the night. The feeling is that a small company rivalry has started between the main roster and the NXT roster. Many agree that is good for all sides involved.
What is usually a lighter atmosphere many hours before doors open is not the case today. I'm told that it is very quiet backstage and that talent is very focused on the show tonight. They know the NXT show is going to be considered "show of the year" among many and they want this TLC show to rival or top it.
Many of the main matches have already been rehearsed. There was a giant black curtain covering the ringside area so nobody outside of the main players know what is going to happen tonight.

 

[Boxcar]

I liked the match and I thought the ending was fine.

 

[Frecklestein]

Same here. I'm about to turn it on and fall asleep while it's playing the background.

You need to invest in a Sami Zayn body pillow.

 

[Foggy]

Really? because we all loved NXT special event.

but yeah lets just chalk it up to cynicism and not the product being shit

I'll enjoy both to varying degrees. But don't let me stop you.

 

[RP912]

Bray throwing the chair is how I truly feel about this ppv and the audacity that this ppv wasn't on Thursday, and R Evolution wasn't on Sunday.

 

[Vylash]

the future wins

 

[Bowser]

 

[Dark Ninja]

Paul Heymans face summarized WWE right now.

 

[Surge]

So that's the shit Vince had in mind to top NXT?

Fucking horrible

 

[slightconfuse]

Meh PPV.

Lucha underground ladder match and ROH battle without honor were better matches.

Agree 100 %

 

[Sweeney Tom]

2014 WWE, yall

 

[Kaladin]

Dean was in CZW. He knows better than using an appliance that is still plugged in.

 

[plagiarize]

Dean loses by electrocuting himself. By accident.

Putting NOBODY over.

It makes no sense. It just makes everyone look bad. To close the show. Why?

 

[Jopie]

{Sigh} I'm gonna go watch NXT Revolution again...

It's amazing how much better NXT is right now. Hell, just compare the last 5 minutes of each show. One had an emotional, amazing finish. The other had a tv blowing up.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

When's the last time Ambrose won a PPV match?

HE'S RUINING OUR PLANS TO MAKE REIGNS THE TOP STAR!

WHY THE FUCK WON'T ANYBODY GRAB THE BRASS RING, DAMMIT?!?

 

[Fox318]

When's the last time Ambrose won a PPV match?

Even steven booking

Nobody goes over

You know they were thinking "Man NXT has everyone buzzing we got to top them...I know lets blow up a tv monitor!"

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

so is their feud over?

I can't tell what's going on.

 

[Alucard]

LMAOOOOOOO THAT FINISH

this match was weak. Adam,cole,and,Jay Briscoe had better match

Re-watched it today, and yeah...really good storytelling in that match. And the announce team did a good job of putting over their history. The finish of Jay hitting the Jay Driller onto the title after a battered Cole looked down on it and slowly raised his head...pretty damn poetic for a wrestling match.

 

[reptilescorpio]

BREAKING NEWS: Dean Ambrose stomping on already burnt out monitor! Wow what a loose cannon!

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

#2 trend

 

[truly101]

I didn't think the matches were completely terrible, but they didn't lead to anything at all.

 

[Jimmy King]

"He's now destroying the TV monitor that blew up in his face, costing him the match."

 

[Guzim]

So that's the shit Vince had in mind to top NXT?

Fucking horrible

Probably not. As I said and friend Bionic pointed out before, that has been posted after the other NXT Takeovers this past year.

 

[plagiarize]

Even steven booking

Nobody goes over

Its not even that. Its make everyone look shit.

 

[Toki767]

I guess HHH was right. NXT really did steal all the brass rings.

 

[somedevil]

Good match but horrible finish.

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

That was a pretty good episode of RAW.

Its not even that. Its make everyone look shit.

Except Cena and Reigns, of course.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

You sir, are no Brian Pillman.

 

[Kiever Sher]

 

[strobogo]

Bad show. The kind of show that makes me happy I unsubscribed and makes not even wan to watch the Rumble.

 

[Kaladin]

LOL, they thought the panel was falling flat so they cut to the announce team to do it.

 

[Slizeezyc]

Is Trips just in a bathroom somewhere doing jazz hands in between pumping his fists right about now?

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

remember last PPV where the match ended with ambrose climbing a huge ladder and just standing on it?

Well, TLC may be considered the show of the year.

It won't be best show of the year. Maybe the other way?

 

[ecurbj]

You need to invest in a Sami Zayn body pillow.

lol..

 

[plagiarize]

What is this recap crap?

Did the show run short or something?

 

[SmithnCo]

Take notes, NXT

Spoiler

fucking lol

 

[UberTag]

There are two shows that are produced by the same company, but on the opposite sides of the quality spectrum. I'm astounded that they are capable at that.

One has Vince actively involved. The other does not.
There's nothing astounding about this at all.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Strong debut by the TV. Too bad there isn't a TV belt anymore.

The new Bish banned gif?

 

[jred2k]

You could make half a Countdown episode about bad finishes using just this PPV. Horrible. They should seriously consider running only four PPVs a year.

 

[Terrabyte20xx]

Maybe we really SHOULD send Triple H that Ham box...

 

[Ithil]

Take notes, NXT

Spoiler

fucking lol

"Don't do any of this"

 

[Ninja Scooter]

remember last PPV where the match ended with ambrose climbing a huge ladder and just standing on it?

In 2015, get ready for...TABLES, LADDERS, CHAIRS AND TVs! Presented by 12 Rounds 2.

[acrid]

where was the logic in that spot anyway? it's a goddamn pc monitor, remove the hdmi or audio/video plugs and pull the power cord. you can do that all in one motion. i guess neither bray nor dean have enough clout to say "hey, that's a really stupid end".

 

[Alucard]

Dean and Bray deserve a ton of credit for the work they did there, though. Some of those spots looked absolutely sick.

 

[reptilescorpio]

IC match was fun, some great spots, no story telling due to no real story built up to it.

Cena vs Rollins match was fun for a while, once the match was reset it became MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG though which sucked.

Nikki vs AJ was shithouse. Spray to babyface face for the win.

Kane vs Ryback was mostly bad, fell asleep.

Ambrose vs Bray was mostly fun, some great spots, minimal cool story telling moments since the feud has been oddly booked. Spray to babyface face for the win.








Please please please don't call NXT up to the main roster!

 

[giancarlo123x]

Only saw from the divas match on. Jesus u need to watch nxt to wash my mouth out.
