OMG Neville Chett Chetterfielding in here

Someone should toss him a lifebuoy.

And pre-shows should be limited to 30 minutes. No BS, no nonsense, and especially no Lita.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Let's just be thankful that Mauro Ranallo will be calling NXT tonight.

 

[serenewarfare]

That continuity from Neville and Graves.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

Let's just be thankful that Mauro Ranallo will be calling NXT tonight.

Ugh, thing I will enjoy least. Lots of shouting when he doesn't need to and awful, irrelevant pop culture references trying to be '96 Chris Jericho.

End the pain.

 

[serenewarfare]

Isn't JR/Lita/Madusa the commentary team for the MYC?

They added Madusa? Thank god.

Madusa is not actually on commentary. She's the interviewer.

Lucha Underground has about 2 months left, AND THEN whatever grace period the stupid contracts have. So you might see Ricochet at Summerslam next year.

Ricochet is one of only a very few with that early out. Most of the contracts (Pentagon, Fenix, Cuerno, etc.) are seven seasons with no early out.

End the pain.

 

[El-Suave]

Anyone know if the pre-show is live or is it on tape delay as usual?

Judging by the relatively empty arena it's on delay again and they're taping matches for the weklys right now as they use to do at Takeovers.

 

[shwimpy]

Ember Moon is awful.

 

[TimeEffect]

Friends, did u discuss that daniel bryan is good to compete?

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Ember Moon is awful.

 

[PROh1bited]

End the pain.

What a mark.

 

[night814]

I get people hate Ember but how has she not been build up as a credible challenger? She's beat the entire women's roster, had Asuka beat at one point then was such a threat in the 4 way that Asuka injured her.

She beat a fairly weak roster in order to get to the top of it. NXT women's division has very little competition, if they could figure out how they want to push Nikki Cross she could be great but she's too tied to SaNitY and her only character is that she's unhinged.

 

[Sinatar]

Friends, did u discuss that daniel bryan is good to compete?

Why would anyone discuss that in an NXT thread?

 

[Dthomp]

Ember Moon is awful.

You are not wrong there

 

[serenewarfare]

Ember Moon is awful.

Really great in the ring though.

 

[Isak_Borg]

Anyone know if the pre-show is live or is it on tape delay as usual?

They taped it and are recording an episode of NXT right now.

Corbin got booed out of the building when walking to the preshow.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

Nobody can even pretend that Carmella could successfully cash in on Asuka, LOLOLOLOL.

"Maybe Asuka better watch her back."

everyone is immediately like RIP Carmella

 

[ghostmind]

Is the crowd doing the Kenny Omega Terminator clap?

 

[JehutyRunner]

Ember Moon is awful.

wrongwrongwrongwrongwrong.

Is the crowd doing the Kenny Omega Terminator clap?

Yup.

 

[shwimpy]

we're getting NJPW chants all night huh?

 

[ShadyK54]

Ugh, thing I will enjoy least. Lots of shouting when he doesn't need to and awful, irrelevant pop culture references trying to be '96 Chris Jericho.

End the pain.

 

[Sinatar]

If this pre-show bit is indicative of Lita's commentary quality during the MYC... yikes.

 

[Maaaaaardy]

What a mark.

Lol i'm not even sorry, I just can't.

 

[theaffection]

Why would anyone discuss that in an NXT thread?

NXT is WWE

 

[TimeEffect]

Ugh, thing I will enjoy least. Lots of shouting when he doesn't need to and awful, irrelevant pop culture references trying to be '96 Chris Jericho.

End the pain.

His references are so annoying and forced

 

[Angry Grimace]

LOL Bayley getting booed is so awkward.

 

[serenewarfare]

If this pre-show bit is indicative of Lita's commentary quality during the MYC... yikes.

Eh, interviewer role and commentator are different skill sets.

Renee is the best host/panelist they have, but she's awful at commentary.

 

[shwimpy]

BOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Isak_Borg]

Uk match is on now.

 

[SDBurton]

LOL Bayley getting booed is so awkward.

Right? lol

 

[TimeEffect]

Uk match is on now.

So there is a pre show match?

 

[theaffection]

Uk match is on now.

Whos in it?

 

[JehutyRunner]

Stop boo'ing Bayley, you're breaking my heart. :'(

So there is a pre show match?

Taped for NXT TV, probably.

 

[shwimpy]

So there is a pre show match?

NXT taping.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Right? lol

I legitimately don't get it. I like Bayley. It's not her fault she's booked like a loser.

Fans just like feeling like they influence the narrative imo.

 

[Phoenixazure]

Uk match is on now.

Bate v Dune III? or a mixed match

 

[somedevil]

So there is a pre show match?

Its a taping for next weeks NXT:

Spoilers:

Spoiler

Lars attacks New Way Jose
Peyton Royce vs Sara Logan
Tyler Bate and Trent Seven vs Wolfgang and Dunne

 

[Wagram]

I want Asuka to leave NXT undefeated.

 

[Sinatar]

Its a taping for next weeks NXT:

Spoilers:

Spoiler

Tyler Bate and Trent Seven vs Wolfgang and Dunne

Why is this not on the PPV?

SMDH

 

[TimeEffect]

Gotchya

It would have been nice to see a UK match

Where are they? Those boys are so good

 

[serenewarfare]

Why is this not on the PPV?

SMDH

What match would it replace?

They keep a tight schedule for Takeovers.

 

[Phoenixazure]

Speaking of Tag teams....the Dusty Tag Classic is coming up soon.


As an aside. Gonna guess some Dusty Classic teams:

Authors of Pain
Ohno/Black
ReDragon
Mustache Mountain/BSS
TM-61
Itami/Almas
Token Main Roster team (I'm betting Ascension)
Mount Rushmore (Strong/Cole)

I legitimately don't get it. I like Bayley. It's not her fault she's booked like a loser.

Fans were gonna turn on her regardless if she stayed in NXT or got good booking. Modern wrestling fans have a low tolerance for white meat babyfaces

 

[blackaroni]

Ugh, thing I will enjoy least. Lots of shouting when he doesn't need to and awful, irrelevant pop culture references trying to be '96 Chris Jericho.

End the pain.

Agreed. He's awful.


Lol at Bayley getting booed.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm more excited for this than the card would have let on.

This probably has something to do with the fact that NXT Takeovers have literally never been bad.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Drew's old theme!

 

[serenewarfare]

WWE continues to be great at video packages.

 

[TimeEffect]

That Broken Dreams tease

Oh man Ill pop so hard

 

[ShadyK54]

WWE continues to be great at video packages.

Seriously. So strong.
