My mother has never seen NXT before, but after only 1 promo, she loves Enzo and Big Cass.
Clearly, they're golden.

Was Byron always a heel commentator?

He's starting to settle into that role now, but not always. Him and Tom sound -real- similar, so they needed to differentiate.

How exactly is this going to work when it's run by/owned WWE?

Sami Zayn and Bayley are both really believable in their roles, they come across as really genuine characters. Sami's selling is also on another level, he garners sympy so easily. Fun show overall, not as top quality as the previous two NXT specials, but still good nonetheless.

But that would be a bold-faced lie. Besides, I already bought their t-shirt and told them they were awesome when I saw them.

No. He bounces back and forth from exasperated heel to super babyface announcer. He sucks at both of them.

I know, but still. The segment ended awkwardly with him yelling it out, too.

Yeah, this is the first time I've been excited about an EVOLVE show for a good while now - I'll be watching both shows on iPPV. Really looking forward to that Uhaa vs Ricochet match. Drew vs Roddy should be good too and really looking forward to ZSJ vs Busick, that should be a great technical match.

they're pretty hit/miss
I'd like to think he's being kept down there until they have a good angle for him. I'd also like to think guys who might have been getting a call up soon (Sami/Neville/Breeze) might stay a little longer for the dream match stuff with Kenta/Steen/Devitt coming in. I'd also like to think that Sami is finally going to win the big one by hitting the brainbustaaaaaaaa for the first and probably only time in WWE.
That makes two in a row. Rusev crushed him at the last special too.
It's his own fault really, you snooze you lose. He had a push and plenty of time to get better, but he didn't, and now other rookies like Charlotte or Enzo/Big Cass are far ahead of him, and major stars in KENTA, Steen and Devitt just arrived.
Swing and a miss as far as WWE scouting "possible future Wrestlemania main eventers".

When us takeover going up on the network?
should be up within the hour
I know the company likes to have some of their own talent on NXT and not just have an hour of Indy wrasslers but Mojo has been given way to much TV considering how poor he is. You can understand why Shaun Ricker & Solomon Crowe as complaining when a useless goof like him is getting 10 minutes a show.
I know what they saw. They saw his enthusiasm, and his size, and thought he might make for a main event star with charisma. But his "hype" thing doesn't translate into anything in the way of good promos, and he sucks in the ring, and isn't getting any better. And he looks like a goofball and not in a good way.
So yeah, looks like WWE gave up on him and are moving on.
Guys, HHH is working you.

Show was nothing special outside of the great main event. A bit of a letdown considering the last few specials.
Yeah, he came in too green. Now he is paying for it by not being able to improve quick enough. He needs to go off tv to get better than come back when he is really ready.
It also, doesn't help with all this top new talent coming in and the non top Indies guys of Baron Corbin and the Olympic wrester shooting past him already.

Y'all just didn't pick up on Mojo Rawley's new gimmick.
Dark Mojo.
Dark Mojo.
I don't get how people don't understand that Mojo's whole shtick is to be an obnoxious jobber that gets the shit beat out of him.
Mojo may not be a great wrestler but at least he genuinely seems to love working there. Full of energy, always feels like he's trying his best. It's...kinda hard to hate him too much thinking about it.
Oh god, don't remind me about Ricker.
HE COULDA BEEN A MAIN ROSTER MAIN EVENTER IN TWO YEARS

Stop. You're making me feel shitty.
eh he only started jobbing recently when people stopped cheering for him, before that he won every match without fail. Now his push has died he's going to start losing TV time with so many other wrestlers making their debuts.
Yes, he seems to love it, and I know he turned down an NFL career to go to WWE, but he just doesn't seem to have the talent, at least so far. He can still be in WWE but I don't think he's ever coming close to a main event unless he has a surge of improvement later.
Ah, I've only seen the recent incarnation.

Kalisto is going to be over
Most jobbers look miserable going out there. CJ Parker looked like he wanted to fucking cry coming down the ramp. Not Mojo man, dude came out and looked like he wanted to be there. He wanted to have a match, even if it was a squash match, just to keep working on earning his keep and pushing forward.
Yeah, he's goofy and slightly annoying but dammit, I have grown to appreciate his work ethic and his general upbeat attitude. It's inspiring in a way. Here is a guy that is shit on all the time by people on the internet, gets jobbed out in seconds, but still keeps a positive attitude and it shows through in his appearances and his social media output. I genuinely want to see Mojo Rawley continue to work hard. Hopefully getting better and ultimately succeed in the wrestling industry.
Not everyone has to be a main eventer. Honestly, I'd rather support a mediocre wrestler that loves doing what he does than a great wrestler who has a shitty attitude and thinks he's owed everything. He can get better in time and I believe he will. He obviously wants to be there and he has the motivation and desire to do good work.
I'm rooting for Mojo Rawley.
I wanna get hyped and stay hyped.
Mojo finally clicked with me tonight. I guess Bull Dempsey isn't absolute garbage like I thought.

FAV FIVE NXT THEMES
1. CJ Parker
2. Enzo & Cass
3. Tyler Breeze
4. The Legionnaires
5. Sami Zayn
HMs: Charlotte, Bayley's new one, the new Lucha Dragons theme. The latter two I just haven't heard enough to make judgment. Legionnaires are an exception.
Kinda agree, but I just wish he'd have shown ANY kind of improvement in the past year

KENTA's theme sounded pretty great to me.
A jobber who goes out looking pissy and upset about jobbing sucks at their jobs. Unless they're up against LOD/Steiners or something.
