Re: The NXT Thread
Ugh, I hope the new Ohno gear is short lived.
He's a good wrestler, and I like watching his matches, but I never really got into Chris Hero a ton because he always kind of looked like crap. Until the last few years when he changed gear and looked great.
I'm not saying that you have to have a great physique. I could care less about that, but there's just something about his gear.

Re: The NXT Thread
Ohno's already gotten rid of the X-Pac/Bret Hart gear.

Re: The NXT Thread
They seem to be giving him an edgy, poor man's pipe bomb/stone cold (not perfect comparisons, but thats the ballpark) sort of gimmick? Sounds good to me. Would love to see him come up as a Heyman guy and step right into some Punk matches.bik100 wrote:Ohno's already gotten rid of the X-Pac/Bret Hart gear.
Re: The NXT Thread
Just watched Zayn/Bo, incredible match imo. The crowd helped it a ton. Loved the nearfalls, wasn't the biggest fan of the finish because it was kinda controversial but it's still doesn't take anything from the match.
MOOSE!

Re: The NXT Thread
When and how do you guys think Bo Dallas will debut on WWE TV. Even though i'm not a fan of is work it's inevitable he'll appear since he's holding the NXT title. Hoping he'll be a generic babyface for a bit then he'll turn into his heel deal now, which is actually really well done. Don't know how it'll translate to TV though, considering how much better the NXT crowd is compared to the normal Raw or Smackdown crowd.
Any thoughts?

Re: The NXT Thread
He'll have a hard time getting this heel persona over on WWE TV I think. Part of it has been the NXT fans turning on his babyface persona. WWE isn't going to force feed him as a top babyface guy so the cache won't be there to boo his over the top heel-who-think-hes-a-babyface persona. Although, it worked pretty well for The Bravado Brothers when they were given a chance to act as such in ROH. Getting over in WWE with that character (as compared to NXT) is going to be more about Bo, than about The WWE Machine though and I don't know if the fans will buy in. This heel character has definitely been entertaining though, so all the best to Bo!AndyDiaz wrote:When and how do you guys think Bo Dallas will debut on WWE TV.

Re: The NXT Thread
When is Crowe supposed to debut?
Re: The NXT Thread
Who knows, NXT doesn't really have a median time for debuts.

Re: The NXT Thread
I don't always watch NXT, and when I do I usually just skip through to matches that interest me. However, I just saw a Bo Dallas interview... Does he have a Michael Jackson gimmick or what? That was weird.
Re: The NXT Thread
There was a report earlier that stated Crowe might debut as a tag team to further stock up the division as per HHH's directive.DR_Driver wrote:When is Crowe supposed to debut?

Re: The NXT Thread
Not sure about how I feel about the outcome, but Neville vs. Zayn is definitely worth checking out. Loved all of the shouts from the crowd for the Brainbustaaah!
Re: The NXT Thread
Regarding if Bo could now work in WWE I think he could if he brings the exact or near exact same character with him. Just come out all smiling and use every "Bo" pun they can think of and the crowd should hate him in no time. Maybe several fluke wins to start as well. Or even better have him as part of a tag team to start. It's almost insane to think WWE might eventually have too many of them soon.
Re: The NXT Thread
Agreed, awesome match as per usual by the two.donkitrk99 wrote:Not sure about how I feel about the outcome, but Neville vs. Zayn is definitely worth checking out. Loved all of the shouts from the crowd for the Brainbustaaah!
And for the outcome, I think it actually work out well in the end for the inevitable]Zayn beating Bo for the title.
Re: The NXT Thread
Zayn needs to be brought up to the main roster ASAP so I don't mind if he never wins the NXT title.

Re: The NXT Thread
This is the best case scenario but I think he will get the belt first. This crossed my mind when Neville won, though, that it might be a sign that a call up is near.JTCole wrote:Zayn needs to be brought up to the main roster ASAP so I don't mind if he never wins the NXT title.
Re: The NXT Thread
Another solid week of T.V. I have an inkling that we're going to get Bo vs. Sami vs. Adrian which would be killer!

Re: The NXT Thread
This show didn't have a match at the level of Zayn/Cesaro or Zayn/Neville but it was the best top to bottom NXT show I have seen. The opener was the best WWE prouced Divas match I have seen in a very long time. And Kidd vs. Kruger sure beats the Hell out of a midcard match like Mojo Rawley vs. Scott Dawson or Alexander Rusev vs. Sylvester LeFort. And the Main Event was very good. Obviously not a big main event, but as a transitional title defense it did its job very well. And Cesaro's apology in 5 languages was awesome too. He deserves better things on Monday nights.

Re: The NXT Thread
I've been pretty unsatisfied with NXT as of late, but I caught last weeks show earlier today. Neville/Zayn was incredible. That's what I want when I tune in on Monday nights, not a contract signing. I'll be sure to catch this week's episode this weekend.
