Bailey will fare as well as Emma has on the main roster.

Actually, Bailey is gonna be huge with her gimmick. It comes of as genuine, which helps a lot. Kids will love her, parents will like her personality.

I am not even joking, one of the few gimmicks I see transferring over to a big audience.

stro, you should join #TeamNXT, the koolaid is good over here.



As far as I can tell, at least they haven't announced anything.

I have no issues with NXT besides the announcing, Corbin/Dempsy, and how bad Kenta has looked. But I'm not interested enough to watch every week.

I never paid much attention to stro's avatar and had always assumed that it was a picture of Mortis, which led to many questions.

What do you think Jarrett's next move with GFW is?



Giving it to Sasha so she can transition it to Bayley makes sense.

It's Mortis Soprano. Much like Mortis Bond.



I think I might have to move A View To A Kill to the top of my favorite Bond songs. That's a jam and a half.

These were my favorite things about the NJPW/CMLL shows

You'll notice Syuri didn't take a backstage photo with Taguchi because only one person in the world likes him.

Also, Tyler Breeze blows.

Two things that annoy me to no end on NXT:

The way the announcers and everyone emphasizes the B in names and words that start with it. Banks, Boss, Becky, Bailey, Bliss......and it feels like they're drawn to names that start with B too. Has anyone else noticed this?

Also...Albert....come on man, get off Itami's hype train. Yeah, we know you worked in Japan with him and Balor, but you don't have to push it every time he's in the ring.....FIGHTING SPIRIT OMG!!!!!

Albert's just markin' out, bro!

Kenta has looked better since he went singles. That was the best direction for him IMO.

His match vs Breeze this week was his best yet.

I love how the third NXT take over match the WWE is going to do there own version of
the best of the super juniors match of Balor vs Neville that got them both signed

Plus I wonder where this Breeze storyline is going to go. Will it end like all horror movies?

Takeover is 11 days before Fast Lane, a "nothing" ppv stuck between the 2 big ones

HHH is trying to bury Vince's PPV once again

Once the roster sees the effort at Takeover they'll work a lot harder to have Fast Lane not look shitty in comparison.

Watched Tenryu vs Hase from the '93 G1 - a great example of how early 90's Tenryu can be a bit shit. On the one hand, the match is great because it's ALL Hase. Tenryu gets no momentum going and Hase just beats him at his own game, but, on the other hand it's ultimately disappointing because Tenryu's inevitable comeback and victory are so lazy looking. Late 80's Tenryu's all like "FUCK YOU, JUMBO!!" and lariats people really hard. Late 90's Tenryu is all about punching and chopping people really, really fucking hard, but early 90's Tenryu often means weak powerbombs, lazy enziguris and just a general "I've got my own promotion and a talent exchange deal with WWF, this shit is beneath me" no fucks given attitude. It took someone like Hashimoto to get a killer match out of Tenryu in his SWS/early WAR days.

The OT sets the tone for the thread, it seems.

OT does set the tone. That's why my OTs are EXCELLENCE!

Hase's a heck of a dude. I really love watching him work, especially with the Steiners.

Bryan had the 2k15 developers on the figure four daily show. A choice quote

In spirit of the Royal Rumble match this Sunday, I of course reviewed two random matches from two random Smackdown's, check it out here!

Also, Lesnar/Bryan is the only match I want this year, but it is going to be hard to see Bryan bump for Lesnar :/

Anybody following Deflate Gate? Tom Brady is a smooth operator. He's either completely ignorant to what is going on which makes him look stupid or a really good liar. I'm not even a big football fan and I'm intrigued. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

On the main roster, Bayley will be given the Natalya farting gimmick and trapped on the island of misfit weirdos like Khali, Hornswaggle, and Torito. She will lose 2 minute matches to the Bellas. FACT.

Bayley will be on Season 5 of Total Divas and there will be an episode devoted to the Bellas doing a 90s teen comedy makeover to make her sexy.

Pretty fun transition by Regal on Hash. This was after Regal tried to tank Hash kicks and Hash just looks at him like 'ok, your funeral'

I must have missed the Bellas', Paige's, Lita's, AJ's, Eva Marie's, Rosa's, and Summer Rae's farting gimmick periods or equivalent thereof.

Every diva has their moments where they're given stupid shit to do or fade into the background. WWE can't book women effectively outside of a title run or feud.

FACT.

I don't think Albert yammering on about fighting spirit is too bad, I like that he acknowledges what they've done outside of the WWE, though him making shit up irks me a little. On the other hand Riley having to compare wrestlers to football players because he doesn't know any veteran wrestlers really gets on my tits.
