Just finished watching this week's NXT, the main event to crown the NXT champ was awesome, great match with a really hot crowd. Rollins is big babyface potential forthe main roster. While he doesn't have any sort of deep character, he's great at getting the crowd behind him and fired up.

However, I do wonder when exactly he's going to the main roster. He just became champion in NXT, so you'd assume he's going to be there for another while at least, but it's not like he isn't ready. Management is evidently high on him, he's pretty much had the show's main event tooled around him, but I wonder if they're not sure what to do with him on a main roster stage, at least for introductions.

I would think it's a lot harder to debut a babyface. Heels can jump right in for cheap heat, have insulting promos, all that, but faces, ESPECIALLY in the WWE, don't have much character to make a huge first impression on the crowds (from video packages/promos etc).

Funny you should mention that, I just finished NXT and I was headed here to praise that main event. Jinder is an awesome wrestler, but had some shitty luck when they were handing out gimmicks. I maintain the position that he'd work better as a face.

Rollins is a boring dude, there's no nice way of putting it. I think the only way I could imagine bringing him onto the main roster is as an underling for a major heel, then let him break off to turn face (Orton in Evolution).

I can't even remember the last time a new guy debuted as a face. ECW on Sci Fi had a few of them over it's run (Punk, Kofi, Bourne) and that's about it, unless you want to count the original NXT pre-Nexus guys.

Someone needs to start doing the Backlund Lift again. I feel like I saw it recently in either TNA or WWE, but I'm not certain. It's one of those classic old school moves that just kind of stopped happening completely in after the Attitude Era. I feel like it'd be a good move for Claudio to do, or D-Brine would be even more impressive. Maybe I saw Ryback do it?

Syuri. IMO, she's the most entertaining Joshi out there. Most of her best matches aren't online. I guess SMASH/WNC are really good at blocking them. The Syuri vs Hamada match is one of my favorites from that year regardless of gender.

Syuri vs KANA They wrestle a lot.

She's cute, but it's far from the only reason I like her. It's like ... 10%. If it was just about looks, I'd post Makoto or something

Because Dragonzord sounds better. It sounds more like a verb

I wonder what kind of overhaul/influence the WWE would need to thinking about signing the likes of Kana.

Female AND Japanese, that's two strikes against her already. And able to wrestle, a third.

Yes. And Shawn Michaels is Zidane. You know, never topped the ratings despite being incredibly talented but became better appreciated at a later time.

According to many joshi's and interviews, KANA also has a HUGE ego problem. I think Hamada would be more likely, but she's not 'hawt', so that wouldn't happen.

NXT? LOL!!! People gave up on wrestling a long time ago in this thread.

This thread is now a semi-porn thread about women.

You people are the worst. I come in here to read Smackdown and NXT reactions, maybe watch a "(insert wrestler) Of The Week" match, and discuss this sport only to find a clown show and Lindsay Lohan talk.

YOU GUYS ARE RUINING WHAT USED TO BE A CLASSY PLACE. THIS ISN'T POP-GAF, THIS IS WRESTLING. THE SKY IS BLUE, THIS FIRE BURNS, AND WE DISCUSS PRO WRESTLING. THE RULES WERE SET A LONG TIME AGO! THEY DON'T CHANGE!!

Now someone tell me if Smackdown's worth watching *snicker*
