The NXT Thread

[dirty]

Absolutely loved what Chad Gable did in the ring last episode. He's a pretty funny guy too.

I know it's not fair to compare young guys to legends but I honestly see some Kurt Angle in him. I think he's going to be a big star or at the very least an incredible in ring worker/technician. Love his style.

[JTCole]

Well Gable does have legit amateur cred like Kurt.

[AndyDiaz]

Ya, the storyline of Gable trying to get Jordan to team with him was very entertaining. He's really good in the ring, and yeah similar to Kurt.

The WWE NXT "Takeover: Brooklyn" live special on August 22nd from the Barclays Center is close to being sold out as more tickets were released on Saturday afternoon. The event will draw more than 10,000 fans, easily making it the largest NXT event yet.

Look at how crazy good the line ups for both shows are getting. Who knows how long it will last, but this NXT ROH competition is great.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE is said to be “thrilled” with early ticket sales for the August 22nd NXT Takeover Brooklyn event, and there is a possibility the show could sellout in advance.

With regards to the actual night itself, it’s likely Takeover will be a two hour event, which will air live on the Network, then WWE will hold a one hour NXT TV taping immediately after Takeover.

I bought a ticket to NXT in Brooklyn on Stub hub before the pre-sale even began. How is it possible for people to get tickets to the show before ticketmaster even does the pre-sale?

Only reason I'm choosing NXT over ROH is because I've seen ROH live so many times. This will be my first NXT show and they are hot right now.

People on StubHub that sells tickets before the pre-sell starts are using "bot programs" to buy the tickets. I brought Wrestlemania 29 tickets before they went on sell from StubHub. I'm also going to the NXT show and wish ROH would change the time so i can go to both.

[Northwoods_Nightmare]

Man, that's got to be a tough choice. I'm not going, but hypothetically I really don't know which I would pick. Based purely on the wrestling I would go with ROH for the fact that they're featuring Okada, Nakamura, and KUSHIDA. But the NXT atmosphere will be insane, especially given the debacle that was last year's ROH Field of Honor. Not to mention Jushin Liger at NXT.
The good thing is that either way you're sure to get a great show.

[ROHFanAnthony]

Another reason I chose NXT is because Barcley Center is easier for me to get to than Coney Island. The ROH show should be awesome, but the matches will be predictable. The big NJPW stars will not lose. They can't.

[IchaelMelgin]

Joe has a new theme. Best he's had maybe.

Am I the only one who doesn't really like Uhaa's new name?

[jordidebaas]

Nope. I'm not a fan of it either

[ZTStyles]

Not a fan of the name either. Hopefully it ends up being one of those things that eventually grow on you, but my initial reaction is "eh, really?"


On the other hand... Owens/Balor ladder match!

[Leo C]

Uhaa's name is awesome imo.
Really liked this week's episode, a very solid build for the Takeover. Charlotte/Bayley was good, main event too. Liger reveal was a mark out moment even if I knew it weeks in advance (although I think they cut to the package too quickly), fun squashes in the middle too. Didn't think the Vaudevillains would get the tag title shot at Takeover, although I guess it could become a multi-team match with Enzo and Cass (who I expected to win the belts in Brooklyn). Is Bull-Fit over after one week? Disappointing.

[Thelone]

On the other hand... Owens/Balor ladder match!

Am I the only one who couldn't give a single fuck about this rematch ? Random stipulation out of nowhere isn't going to change the fact that this match is pointless and the most obvious thing in the world.

[supersonic]

There is a point - Owens has lost three straight major singles matches and is looking for an element that can give him an advantage due to his ladder match history. Remember that he's a manipulative jabroni.
