You're forgetting that they've had a reign bookmarked for Adam Cole for over two years now that he's about to cash in on.

Hmm yeah forgot about Cole. I'd debut him at Brooklyn this year and slot him in for title win at Brooklyn next year. Or cut Black out of my scenario.

 

[RecRoulette]

Itami isn't hitting the GTS tonight, Chicago's about to get pissed.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

oh god he missed the kick

 

[Data West]

Itami is looking a little flabby

 

[Foggy]

Itami isn't hitting the GTS tonight, Chicago's about to get pissed.

Oh he'll hit it alright. And Roode will kick out.

 

[spindashing]

My Albanian boy is main eventing!!!

Bobby Roode is Albanian?

 

[Zach]

Itami is looking a little flabby

All natty, baby.

 

[Shadow Broker]

Oh he'll hit it alright. And Roode will kick out.

I kind of want to see the reaction to this.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Bobby Roode is Albanian?

Tag match is main event

 

[Ithil]

Oh he'll hit it alright. And Roode will kick out.

Afterwards HHH will come out in front of the hard camera and stare blank faced at the viewer for three minutes.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

They booking KENTA as injury prone man who is sad his friends have moved on.

 

[Beefy]

Are we getting orange tan ref in the ladder match?

 

[spindashing]

Tag match is main event

Oh! Whoops!

 

[excelsiorlef]

I like that Roode wrestles a completely different style than the indy dudes that make up most of NXT

It offers something different

 

[Rhaknar]

"This is boring"?

 

[Foggy]

[Beefy]

Was that a tooth or gum?

 

[Zach]

Roode with that Trump tan, too.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

"This is boring"?

yeah it sounded like that during the headlock

or maybe this is glorious?

 

[Guzim]

Kenta Kobashi name drop

 

[Rhaknar]

Was that a tooth or gum?

Or spit. Was wondering myself.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Did Percy mean to say Kobashi and not Kobayashi?

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Was that a tooth or gum?

I don't know. There were two of them.

 

[LiQuid!]

Was that a tooth or gum?

You know, a month ago I would have just called you a mark for falling for the oldest trick in the book but we've literally seen teeth kicked out in the WWE lol

 

[Beefy]

Roode with that Trump tan, too.

The refs tan is worse then Trump's tbf

 

[excelsiorlef]

I love how loud Roode is... ow.. oh god. Ahhh. Argh.

 

[Beefy]

And Itami's kicks seem a little miss timed, he has missed a few.

 

[TimeEffect]

I feel like Itami works much better as a no nonsense heel. But he has to tow the sympathetic face until he can lose it

 

[ElRenoRaven]

I love how loud Roode is... ow.. oh god. Ahhh. Argh.

He's old school. He knows how to sell. A lot of guys could learn from him in that department. So many times you see stuff that is supposed to hurt and yet the other guy is silent as a mouse. Won't happen with Bobby though. He'll make sure people know it hurts.

 

[Data West]

roode been watching his buff daddy tapes

 

[Foggy]

Crowd is trying to will themselves into this match

 

[excelsiorlef]

He's old school. He knows how to sell. A lot of guys could learn from him in that department. So many times you see stuff that is supposed to hurt and yet the other guy is silent as a mouse.

Yep.

Roode basically wrestles an NWA style and I love him for it.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

match is pretty meh

 

[Angry Grimace]

Nigel is doing like 100% of the work on complementary

 

[Zach]

Buff Daddy would've hit that Blockbuster and picked up the win.

 

[Toki767]

Crowd doesn't really care about this.

Even though this match has been quite good so far.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

No Black, McIntyre, Almas, or Ohno on the show?

 

[Pikma]

I'm enjoying this match a lot

 

[Mr Touchdown]

Roode showing em all how to sell a location injury properly.

 

[serenewarfare]

No Black, McIntyre, Almas, or Ohno on the show?

Black and McIntyre were in matches before the show taped for next week's NXT.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nice now it's Roode with an injured body part. A nice spin on his Nak matches.


I love injured body part matches

 

[Rhaknar]

Match is fine but thats about it. Roode v Nak was better (both of them).

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I'm enjoying this match a lot

Me too. Shame the crowd seems to be struggling.

 

[The Strokes]

Crowd is trying to will themselves into this match

This match is fun.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Yep.

Roode basically wrestles an NWA style and I love him for it.

Yup. Reminds me a lot of Flair, Arn Anderson, and other old school guys like that. His moves are crisp and look painful. He sells moves to him. He can also tell a story in the ring. It's why I was overjoyed to see WWE pick him up.

 

[Beefy]

Roode: points to shoulder " My elbow it's awful" points to shoulder again

 

[Data West]

nothing wrong with roode in this match but NXT has trained their crowds to be PWG crowds and want everything to be nonstop gif fest style wrestling

 

[Ithil]

Right in the solid steel steps!

 

[The Elite]

Someone give Roode a tissue.

 

[serenewarfare]

Roode: points to shoulder " My elbow it's awful" points to shoulder again

He said "collarbone"
