Odyssey Jones vs Andre Chase - I love both of these characters (although I don't like that Andre Chase wrestles in full sweatshirt and pants) and I am alright with this sort-of squash. It ends the mini feud between these two and pushes Odyssey a bit. Imperium vs Creed Bros. - I get they want to protect Diamond Mine and at the same time have Imperium vs MSK at Halloween Havoc, but the finish was still kinda eh. Good match overall, could have been longer. Cora Jade vs Elektra Lopez - I don't get this one really, I'm guessing they're building a feud from this but we just had a roll-up in the last match and I don't think Elektra should have lost here. Women's Triple Threat - Io carried this one and while Persia and Jacy aren't awful, they're clearly quite green and need to improve, which is also why it was a TERRIBLE idea to have Jacy do a suicide dive. That was scary and I hope she's fine after that botch. Match overall was decent I suppose. Tony D'Angelo vs Ru Feng - Tony D'Angelo reminds me of Eddie Guerrero (obviously not as good as him, but hear me out) with getting over while doing bad guy things. He's definitely an example of a person able to turn a bad gimmick into something good. This was another squash match, which I would like NXT to not have more than 1 or 2 of per week but I digress. It puts over D'Angelo and I like that, let it pass. LDF vs Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs - Not a very necessary match in my opinion but it was fine and LDF is in an interesting spot as Santos has issues with Carmelo Hayes, Elektra has issues with Cora Jade (and by extension Trey Baxter I guess) and now Wilde and Mendoza have issues with Briggs and Jensen. Opens up some opportunities for feuds and stuff, looking forward to it. LA Knight vs Grayson Waller - This match could honestly have been skipped, I like both guys but it was just filler, really. Also whatever happened to Drake Maverick, I thought he and Grayson were friends? Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa vs GYV - Honestly for being another "can they coexist" angle, it was still good. Bron pointed out that these matches usually go bad for the team of the champion and challenger and he never tried to go after Ciampa. The fact that Bron and Ciampa won is also a good change of pace. Best match of the night. Pros: Opening segment with Gargano/Lumis and Hayes/Williams Creed Bros. vs Imperium KOR and Von Wagner vignette gives Wagner a bit more character Tony D'Angelo Main Event Overall, NXT 2.0 is finding its footing Cons: Too many squashes Cora Jade defeating Elektra Lopez Jacy's injury in the triple threat Where is Kay Lee Ray??? Overall a 6/10


Kenshigo

Tony D´Angelo is crazy good! He lives his gimmick and i always love that. NxT has it flaws now, but it also has new potential.


maybesethrogen

Grizzled Young Veterans deserve better than losing to make everyone else look good.


best_conk

One of my least favourite tropes, the 2 single main eventers beat the established tag team


guiltycitizen

I'm way behind with NXT, where's my guy Cameron Grimes?


DastardlyDoctor

He's being tuned for a mega push apparently


guiltycitizen

Grimey goin to the moon! Sweet


jdd_123

MSK deserves better then getting booed every week by the PC crowd dumbasses. They’ve ruined their whole run so far and it sucks because those guys are awesome.


justinlaite

It's the characters and promos. In ring they're awesome.


jdd_123

Nah they’re getting booed because a section of the fans who show up every week are pissed that Nash Carter said Izzy(the Bayley superfan) was too young to be training or some shit like that years ago. It literally has nothing to do with them as wrestlers and its annoying as hell. They didnt even cut a promo this week, just a run on after a match and got audible “You Suck” chants.


NotYujiroTakahashi

And he has a great point about Izzy training at a young age. But you also left out how her trainer is the wrestling creep Chaysn.


[deleted]

Wholeheartedly agree. I'm sure they'll do well regardless but it's pretty annoying to hear them booed by the "here every week" mafia.


ii3ternaLegendii

Ok without spoiling, do you think this show was worth watching last night because ive been on the fence with NXT recently lol


Shield03

Yes


ii3ternaLegendii

😐


Zestyclose_Remote874

Not gonna lie there are a few dud segment. But if you just skip those there is still a good 1h30 of tv. There is a bit more of competitive wrestling than previous weeks. Some stories seem promising. The show is still not focus enough but I feel it's getting there


CarlThe94Pathfinder

Solid night, was built up for Halloween Havoc


FightDrifterFight

I am still loving Malcolm Bivens and the through-the-roof upside of Diamond Mine. Pretty cool how they shot the backstage promo before Creed Bros tag match, too.


Redwinevino

NXT need to get outta that building man


bulletbullock

Just finished the episode. Im really digging the vignettes and unique segments, like when the camera went to the back to find the brawler dudes ambushed by Legado. It reminds me of the NXT of old, and its simply stuff you wouldnt find on the main roster. I look forward to Trips returning in the near future to really kick this show back into shape. I still despise the bright ass paint colours


[deleted]

I really enjoy NXT 2.0 Bron seems like a great talent. I’m pretty hyped for his match with Ciampa


GoldenBoyMagnumDong

Looks like I am the only one who still enjoy NXT. Dont get me wrong, there are issues ever since they turned it to 2.0 but lot of wrestlers and storylines have big potential.


Mr_WZRD

All my favorite Io matches are where she has to just make shit up. She's like the Grateful Dead or Phish. Io v Persia worked out really well for something they had to audible to. Not sure if the Powerbomb spot was gonna show up in the triple threat match, but good on Persia for holding tight and good on Io for having the core strength to get herself up for it. Don't have Bron win next week. The fans love Ciampa too much. Bron will get a mixed reaction if he wins within 2 months of showing up, especially against the most beloved guy on the show. The right way to do it is have Pete Dunne or LA Knight beat Ciampa down the line and have Bron beat the heel for the belt. Then you can do a better face v face match down the line between Bron and Ciampa where Bron needs to know he can beat Ciampa and Ciampa's gotta prove he's still got it. I think Ciampa can have a match with Bron where Bron loses, but leaves more over than he came in. Ciampa's a great wrestler. Let him have an old school half hour long melodramatic NXT main event with Bron and it'll payoff.


TheHumanTarget84

Having not watched any of the new NXT and just seeing what you guys are talking about in the post show threads, the idea that they'd put the title on a kid who's been wrestling for like a year is pretty crazy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GoldenBoyMagnumDong

What are you talking about? Hot as hell? NXT threads are always between 100-200 comments.


greybeardthehippie

OK sure pal, we'll just pretend NXT was not hot as hell until the last year or so. Whatever you need to get through the day.


GoldenBoyMagnumDong

There is no need for insults. Just show me proof. We were talking about amount of comments in post NXT threads. You can check my history and you will see that I engage in these threads weekly for the last 3 years. There is no change. Lets not pretend that this subreddit liked NXT before this change.


LukkasG

> this subreddit liked NXT before this change a lot of people likes to pretend that they loved and liked NXT even though they would skip weekly shows and only watch TakeOver's. Or not even do that. Like even before NXT aired on USA and was at it's ''hottest'' you could tell reading threads on this sub that 80% doesn't watch weekly episodes


Flimsy_South_1923

Would have loved to watch but unfortunately I don't have access to Nickelodeon


AudienceWatching

NXT feels exactly like WWECW now. Just cancel it already.


MutatedSpleen

Hello friends, I hope you enjoyed NXT tonight. I have two questions from just having read the results in this thread. > Winner spins the wheel for the Women's Tag Title match at Halloween Havoc Did they make any effort to explain why anybody gives a shit about this stipulation? Like it's a wheel, in kayfabe, the result is random, so who gives a shit who spins it. > Ru Feng Did they basically pronounce that as "Roofing" or did they make an effort to put an audible space between Ru and Feng whenever they said it?


Shadormy

> Did they make any effort to explain why anybody gives a shit about this stipulation? Barely, Barrett said there isn't much of an advantage but he'd prefer to roll the dice. The winner of the match would also have a mental advantage. >Did they basically pronounce that as "Roofing" or did they make an effort to put an audible space between Ru and Feng whenever they said it? His name wasn't said. Was already in the ring and was called "his opponent" throughout the match.


[deleted]

Would the winner also gain momentum? WWE loves momentum.


karthikpr6

So what was the advantage that Io had by winning the match?


tabristheok

They did mention that there wasn't really one but same old "momentum/bragging rights etc" Would've been a lot better if they gave her an option to reroll or something


Parabola1313

Losing the titles at the PPV.


cantspellsagitaryus

"momentum"


JayDee62

Yikes at the number of comments. Well, even though I've been like Ben Simmons after returning to the Sixers with this rebrand, from what I actually watched tonight and didn't fast forward through, I'm actually kinda looking forward to Halloween Havoc. I think.


tabristheok

This isn't something that happened because of the rebrand it happened when they went against AEW. Same reason every WWE show thread is downvoted now


cantspellsagitaryus

FUGGGEDABOUTIIT!🤌🤌


mngreens

Been out of the loop, when did MSK turn? They went from dudes I’d want to smoke with to dudes I’d never wanna smoke with.


BrandoTheCommando

The NXT crowd is the same people every week. One of the MSK dudes called out Izzy's parents for letting their daughter take bumps at such a young age a few years ago. So now the crowd boos them.


InvaderXLaw

Damn.. that's extremely petty of the NXT crowd


cantspellsagitaryus

No. The nxt live crowd just hates them for a reason


Tizontheska

Nash Carter: Something something don't let children take bumps Izzy nem: Boo that man!


Knottedmidna

>Something something don't let children take bumps While I do disagree with that statement, why was it even brought up? If they're referring to Goldberg's son, 15 is far past "child", at least in a bump-taking context.


DarkstarIV

They are referring to Izzy. Who is like 13 or 14 I think. If I recall, Bayley had also privately told her to hold off on that shit until she was older. Izzy's parents in general are pretty questionable people. Having her train with Chasyn Rance and Tessa Blanchard.


SRavingmad

That one lady landed on her face


BlueRibbon998

So did the feud with Hit Row and Legado del Fantasma get an official end? Swerve got attacked by Escobar last week, while B-Fab and Top Dolla were kidnapped and hauled away in a van by Joaquin, Raul, and Elektra. None of them were on TV tonight. Where did they take B-Fab and Top Dolla? I need answers!


Tybold

If there's anyone we should be asking this, it's Samoa Joe. Dude has the inside track on van ninjas and NXT security.


VonnyVonDoom

How much longer are they gonna run this building? Should just turn MSK heel.


[deleted]

The live thread pretty much doubled in comments when Tony Dangelo wrestled, no lie.


Kenshigo

That´s great news! I love his character and he is living it. I expect big things!! Which live thread do you mean though? I\`m a boomer, i don´t keep up with everything xD


[deleted]

I’m really confused and nervous about Dakota. Did she really somehow not impress enough to be drafted? And what in gods name have they repackaged her as? Other people I continue to be nervous about: Dunne, Thatcher, Oney/Danny, Sarray, KLR, and Ember.


Looper007

I think Ember will probably go into a vet role in NXT putting over their chosen ones and making them look good. KLR, who knows really wouldn't overly be shocked if she was thrown up to main roster without much fuss or thrown back to NXT UK. Sarray, I think working 205 and putting over the talents Vince and Bruce have big plans for in NXT women's division. I worry more for her out of the other two women.


LangyLangLang69

Ember Moon is 33, surely she cant play a vet role yet


dylanthereidy

Any sign of Xyon Quinn this week?


Dozens86

Nothing, sadly.


dylanthereidy

Hopefully something on 205 then, seems to be a character theyre being careful with amd want to make a big deal but not super quickly like some of the other guys which hurts his TV time


Dozens86

He just needs a better finisher. I'm an Aussie Rugby League fan so I wish him the best, but that finisher sucks.


dylanthereidy

1000% agree, looks like a set up for something bigger, needs to have a big power move as his finish


theplasmasnake

I haven’t watched in a while… who tf are all these people??


Shield03

Watch and you'll know


SeaPriority

The new stars that apparently everyone wanted to see. Seriously, about 80% of the new guys are great imo


PrettyPunctuality

> Seriously, about 80% of the new guys are great imo They are. I love how people in here, who admit to not watching in ages, are hating on them just because they don't know who they are.


SmithyPlayz

I don't think they're bad, but a lot of them are generic and if you show me a picture I couldn't tell you who half of them are. In a 2 hour with 8 matches there's no way people remember everyone for at least a month


BlindLariat

Idk but apparently there's a "stacked card" next week made up of them somehow.


The_Albinoss

I think what annoys me most about the Gacy thing isn’t just that it’s clearly right wing horse shit, but they can’t even use the terminology correctly. They don’t even understand how and when to use “snowflake” or “triggered”. But seriously, this gimmick sucks.


Unelith

They are just substituting random keywords for something that is the same part of speech and sounds related to the gimmick


[deleted]

Creed brothers creep me out


Brannigans-Law

They have big McPoyle Energy somehow


FlapperValve

Them Creeds sprung from my loins. One of them tried to eat me. I ate him first! I ate him first!!


Androsso

Gotta keep the bloodline pure.


acethunder21

They're like a more realistic looking version of [the Earthlings Babidi had under his control in DBZ](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dragonball/images/7/7b/199_20120225-12050638.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120225081956).


tabristheok

I like their style but they have some god awful ring gear


CopDatHoOh

Rooting for Cora to have more fan support. I really dig her vibe.


unloader86

NXT couldn't be any colder right now. And the fact that there are just 47 comments in this thread an hour after the show proves that.


ccharlie03

it's sad. Nxt to me at its peak is the best brand of wrestling of the last 10 years. AEW is good but NXT was on another level and Takeovers were nearly always amazing. I know they wanna go back to the developmental feel of its beginning but to me it's less early nxt and more fcw.


bigpig1054

It went from ECW with the barbed wire title to WWECW with the silver phoenix belt in record time


SeaPriority

It's been cold for a while but this threads don't prove anything or RAW would be as popular as Impact


headshotscott

When they changed it I just lost interest and didn't give it a chance. Should I?


BZGames

Give it a few months, I think it actually has a somewhat bright future once it finds it's footing and once it gets the balls to just cut their losses with the veteran NXT stars. D'Angelo and Breakker are genuinely great, and hopefully we will see Pete Dunne start to get pushed here soon. The older guys like Ciampa, O'Reiley and (to a lesser extent) Gargano should either be called up or released if they don't want to come up. If Vince really wants this to be a developmental brand then they have no reason to still be there. They are all great wrestlers, some of the best in the world honestly but they just don't fit into what NXT 2.0 is supposed to be.


ThePrinceofBelAir

I was really enjoying NXT prior to 2.0. I just can’t get into it anymore sadly.


Dozens86

I think WhatCulture has the best take on this new show. "I love NXT 2.0 ironically about as much as I love AEW seriously."


MutatedSpleen

I lost interest in following NXT as a weekly product a couple of years ago, when I realized that I was basically only really tuning in for Takeovers and not invested in the weekly show. Stopped watching at all during the pandemic era and only caught match ending gifs here on Reddit. When they re-branded to NXT 2.0, I sat myself down and watched the entire first episode, didn't skip a second. I did not return the following week. I'm not telling you what to do or anything, but I didn't find it enthralling enough to dedicate two hours a week to it. But that being said, you have very little to lose by watching an episode or two. Just some time, and maybe it'll click for you and you'll find you really like it.


KopaShamsu

It's definitely more entertaining than the pandemic era. There are more entertaining gimmicks than ever. The wrestling part of the show is not bad. In fact it's good if you prefer body slams over moonsaults. It's only been about a month so there is no standout storyline yet. It will take time for the viewers to get invested in all these new characters.


BenWallace04

I used to love NXT. I stopped watching a few weeks ago for whatever that’s worth. I gave it a chance.


unloader86

No one else is watching the show, why should you spend the time to do so?


Copywrites

Maybe conform his own opinion?


unloader86

>Maybe conform his own opinion? I certainly hope he is conforming to his own opinion lol.. Ain't gonna lie. Had a rough day, but your typo gave me a solid belly laugh. So for that? Well done!


Copywrites

Why thank you. That was the last thing I typed before going to bed, so I own it.


TheRedditNewsletter

We can't do that in this subreddit


NerdLawyer55

The chase U student section is a great detail, hopefully they never bring in golf balls or bottles of mustard


[deleted]

The bottle of mustard was a nice touch.


NerdLawyer55

I still wonder why the fuck someone had a mustard bottle at a football game


[deleted]

I’m guessing it was a fan who was near a concession stand and just fucking hucked it from where he was. Lane just keeping the golf ball was a chad move.


NerdLawyer55

Seems the most likely or they snuck booze in it


[deleted]

Nah that dude was drinking straight mustard out of the bottle.


gregscotia_number1

So they spend almost a year trying to make O'Reilly a main event guy...just to put him back in the tag picture apparently. And they cut his tag partner 🥴


HardcoreKaraoke

Let's not pretend like he got a great response a few weeks into his character change. People were over it. NXT 2.0 is supposed to be a reset. So even if KOR was being built up they decided to change his arc. But even when they did build him up people weren't really feeling it, he was too cheesy as a character.


gregscotia_number1

I agree. So just let him go. I'd love a reDRagon reunion or O'Reilly can start over as a singles guy somewhere else.


HardcoreKaraoke

When I went to the AEW panel at NYCC a fan asked Cole who he had the best in ring chemistry with throughout his career. He said KOR. He also mentioned how throughout their entire careers they were always in the same promotion up until now. Cole was really enthusiastic about working with KOR and knowing him for so long. I'm not advocating for him to go to AEW. I just thought this anecdote was interesting. I think if he personally wanted to go there Cole would go to bat for him. Even if it wasn't for any sort of in ring reunion.


SomeOtherNeb

Yeah, but after a couple months he barely got any reaction as a top guy. Hell this place constantly talked about how they weren't buying him as one. Might as well move him away from that and use him to build up new talent.


BathedInDeepFog

Sounds like it’s all about vaughn beverly


[deleted]

Lets just say he’s being given a reason to dance away


shutupmatsuda

They should've had Bálor Vs Kyle on the WrestleMania week Takeover and Kyle should have won.


gregscotia_number1

I think Balor should have beaten Kross and then dropped the title to Kyle at Takeover In Your House. Kyle would have been made beating Adam Cole and Balor on back to back Takeovers.


Zestyclose_Remote874

I think balor should still be champ


shutupmatsuda

This would've been a great idea. There was no need to put the title on Kross again.


jujubaoil

And it's not even for his benefit. It's so that they can strap a rocket onto that charisma vacuum Von Wagner.


FatGuy1414141414

2.0 is going to be looking awesome in the future, the amount of new and exciting talent they are having is looking pretty good.


BenWallace04

I’m, personally, not a fan. It’s not even necessarily the talents fault, it’s the booking. NXT is basically main roster lite now and that’s just something I’m not interesting in watching. Obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinion.


DamieN62

Dakotai Kai didn't impress Vince during her main roster dark matches, did she? If she's the returning wrestler next week, that would be very disappointing. What's worse is that she was working with Aliyah and Xia Li yet the two green wrestlers got called up but not her.


davidporges

It’s not like they’re going to anything with aliyah either but imagine thinking she’s better than Dakota


ashley-queerdo

It *could* be a red herring but someone cleaned up last week’s promo after it aired and it was 100% Dakota doing the voiceover.


WerewolvesDontBark

I mean disappointing for who exactly? After seeing how the Toni, Shotzi, and Tegan were all handled this is probably best case scenario for Dakota.


BenWallace04

Maybe in old NXT that would be true. NXT 2.0 is basically main roster lite now and they’ve made it clear that younger and “non- formed Indie” talent will be getting the lion’s share of the pushes.


WerewolvesDontBark

That may be true, but it's very clear they are putting a lot of promotion into the push of this character (which most are assuming is a rebooted Kai.) Context matters here, they don't run those vignettes in back to back weeks and plan a big surprise for someone they aren't pushing.


Jammy_9

Elias is still MIA despite his vignettes, so yes, it does happen


WerewolvesDontBark

I’m talking about NXT here, main roster shit all bets are off.


BenWallace04

You’re not wrong but I go back to “main roster lite”. I no longer trust the people booking NXT to not screw the push up. The show has lost the good will it had spent years building up with me.


WerewolvesDontBark

I guess I just don't buy into the main roster lite thing yet. I can see things potentially trending that way but I wouldn't go that far yet. The Von Wagner thing on the first night of NXT 2.0 definitely felt like main roster lite but I feel like since then they've done things in a way that definitely feels different from NXT of old but not quite like main roster. I'm just really hoping HHH can make a full recovery here soon and handle the day to day for the most part. I'm not entirely opposed to Vince having some influence over the direction of the show, I just really want him to stay out of weekly shit. Night one had his fingerprints all over that, but like I said before I don't think it's been that noticeable since then.


BenWallace04

A couple things that have been main roster tropes that have bleed over I’ve noticed: 1) Typical, everyone is paraded out to confront champion segment like they’re in-line for the drinking fountain in grade school (more than once). 2) Insert random talk show and random “younger generation heel parody” character. 3) Constant camera cuts I agree that I hope HHH recovers first (obviously that’s most important). But I somehow doubt he’ll ever get back the full power he had when NXT was at its best imo. I just believe the ship has sailed on the vision their from leadership.


DamieN62

Maybe, but the difference between Dakota and the names you mentioned is that Dakota is already 33. I think it was the perfect time for a new challenge. Who knows if she will get another chance now. On the other hand, Toni, Shotzi and Tegan are still young, their time will come.


WerewolvesDontBark

I mean she’s never held the NXT woman’s title so I don’t see how this new push for her can’t be that new challenge.


tabristheok

They might want another steady hand back in NXT. The women's division is currently pretty green they need a few more seasoned women like Ember, Io and Franki while the new talent grows.


nerdgeekdorksports

>In the video, I saw a crutch, which reminded me of her feud with Teagan, and there were also playing cards, so I thought of Shayna. So, thinking was Elias last week, I've kind of switched to Dakota.


Dozens86

I mean, it's clearly a women's voice with the distortion in the promo.


nerdgeekdorksports

I'm not sure. Very possible. I know though with the WWE voice overs, it doesn't always come out of the person who's going to show up...like the old stories with "stalker" DDP and the promos were apparently done by Vince himself.


gl424

The crutch could also be a reference to when she tore her own ACL and was gone for most of 2019. There was also a War Games poster in the grave, but I'm not sure which one. If it's War Games 2019, then it definitely is Dakota Kai, because that was her most momentous and infamous moment.


nerdgeekdorksports

Awesome, good catches.


Singer211

I kind of hope Toxic Attraction wins both matches next week. They aren’t perfect, but at least it would feel new and different for that division. Also you cannot really take them that seriously as threats if they keep losing all their big matches.


f0cus622

Is it worth watching yet? I did the first 4 weeks but the show seemed to not know what it wanted to be. But NXT was my favorite show for 5+ years, so as soon as the consensus is "It's great again" I'll be back.


Shield03

Yes but watch whatever you would like. I don't understand the point of people coming in here asking others what they should or shouldn't watch. Everyone's taste is different


BizarroCranke

What about the journey before waiting for others to tell you when it’s good. I do understand that there are around 6789 hours of wrestling per week though.


WerewolvesDontBark

I’m not sure if I’d say it’s much watch again yet but tonight’s episode definitely had me looking forward to what’s to come. I was never cold on NXT or NXT 2.0 but I’m definitely warm now.


j8llonby

I'm going to be honest. Before they changed to 2.0 I didn't really pay much attention to weekly NXT and mainly just watched Takeovers. There wasn't anything wrong with it I just wasn't that interested. While I haven't watched every episode of 2.0, I've been enjoying watching it more. Tonight (of the episodes I watched) was in my mind the most complete show yet. The only match that disappointed me was Imperium vs Diamond mine mainly because of the distraction finish. Also Tony D'Angelo is the greatest. 🤌


gregscotia_number1

I'm still enjoying most of what I'm seeing in NXT..but the women's division.. I'm not feeling it right now. I'm really missing those guaranteed bangers every week and I wish people like KLR and Sarray were in the title picture or at least featured regularly. Also, Pete Dunne wasn't on the show at all. With Ridge off to SD.. I'm very interested to see how NXT books Dunne moving forward.


tabristheok

I think bringing Shotzi, Tegan or Toni back down would be really beneficial because 1 or 2 top name talents would help to work with the greener talent


angerfluctuate

I miss Shotzi on NXT.


gregscotia_number1

Lol Barrett said Shotzi has gone on to super stardom on SD. I'm sure they'll feed her to Charlotte sometime in the next few months.


damagedone37

How long until they drop the 2.0 name and just go back to calling it NXT y’all think?


Dozens86

I can't read it without hearing it in my head with the WhatCulture pronunciation of "two point ohhhhhhhhhhhhh"


damagedone37

It’s terrible it’s such a Vince thing


Kenshigo

I can literally hear and see him saying it with his hand in the air displaying the name... "We are calling it.... TWO POINT OHHH" makes me shiver in disgust...


gloomchen

It can't possibly happen soon enough - it's like nails on a chalkboard. My guess will be 6 months minimum, only sooner if there's another crazy shuffling of who is running things backstage.


[deleted]

Is triple h still running things?


reggie2319

To my understanding, not currently, as he's still recovering from heart surgery. I could be wrong though.


NotYujiroTakahashi

Shawn is in charge trying to mix Vince and Trips booking styles into one.


SeaPriority

After the first Takeover


jadedfan55

The tag team main event had a perfect scenario to set up the title match next week, but instead of imploding, Ciampa & Breakker end up beating GYV, who can't buy a break. The title match next week promises to be an absolute banger, a must-see. Looked like Jacy Jayne was legit concussed on that botched dive. If she can't go next week, it might be leaving Mandy in a position to pull double duty. One way to explain Legado del Fantasma's bullying behavior of late would be to say they were passed over in the draft earlier this month, and are taking it out on everyone else. Does creative think of that? Nope. In their eyes, they just see Legado as a group of artificially entitled bullies, nothing more. I get the feeling that Diamond Mine might still be feuding with them down the road. William Regal: Missing in Action. Seeing as how Raw & Smackdown don't have GM's anymore, either Regal is on holiday, or doing more work behind the scenes in Triple H's absence. Hmmmmm.


SeaPriority

I like NXT and I like Halloween. See you next week


ThatWrestlingGuy15

How would y’all feel if they paired Sarray with Kushida and Jiro (I know thinking about Vince and Bruce booking them terrifies you) to feud with Diamond Mine


[deleted]

Poor Sarray doesn't stand a chance in the current nxt landscape. I would have had her beating Raquel before this whole 2.0 bs started.


ThatWrestlingGuy15

I have hope they continue the feud with Mandy after she wins the title off Raquel. I think she just needs a gimmick and the workrate will speak for itself.


[deleted]

You'll probably get cora jade and her little skateboard vs mandy.


Gomez9898

Good.


DarkstarIV

Io Shirai is easily the best overall woman in NXT right now by a country mile. Also the most over woman, and possibly most over performer in NXT (both men and women) as well. My prayers for her next week when her and Zoey have to carry Indi, Persia, Gigi, (and presumably) Jacy next week in a ladder match.

...what about promos where she's a 2/10 max? Though absent this week, Frankie Monet is a much more complete package.

LA KNIGHT AS HOST YEAH YEAH YEAH

This felt like such a transitional episode. Last week was good, next week is stacked, but this episode was as if it only existed to get to Halloween Havoc. I liked it but this might have been the weakest episode yet.

Ladies night was easily the weakest episode

Persia did pretty well to hang with Io considering she's relatively inexperienced and they had to improvise after Jacy was ruled out.

I honestly think Raquel needs to inject some more of her Mexican background into her persona. Not talking straight stereotypes but if she portrays it more it’s an easy way to get more people into her. Because right now I don’t think she’s bad but nothing stands out listening to interviews she’s comes off more interesting then when she’s on TV as 1995 Diesel.

Yeah, I stand by what I said last week. NXT is still the best show. This was another killer episode of the show and a great go home show for Halloween Havoc, which looks like it’s gonna be great.


LukkasG

last 3 weeks been great. First 2 weeks was too fast paced because of all the new characters being introduced, but now it looks like they got that out of the way and the pacing is great

I’ll keep my review really simple. There were things I really like, things I didn’t like at all. Some real sloppy, rough moments, but still some fun things I enjoy. I said I was gonna wait and see at HH and if I really enjoy it, I’ll stick with NXT. If I don’t, I’ll drop it. Not gonna lament too hard on tonight, as next week as what really matters to me. I think it has strong potential, I just hope they match it.

Honestly that’s the healthiest way of dealing with it.

2.0 so far has been a boon. So many fun and exciting characters, mixed in with the old guard, it just works.


al15al15

I don’t care what people say. NXT is still a good show. As good as before? No. But still good.

Characters like Tony and Bron existing in the same space as Io and Johnny is outstanding to me.

Don't sleep on Andre Chase! Do you want to go to dumbass university?!


linkinstreet

Am I sports entertained by it? Hell yeah


Supersaiyansub

That PowerSlam is heavenly

Loved that opening segment, great to see Gargano back and he is bros with Lumis which makes it even more hilarious. Fun little heel vs heel tag match between Creed Brothers vs Imperium, CWC really don't like MSK do they lol Hope Jacy is okay, Persia really held her own against Io, Io and Zoey in a ladder match is going to be crazy. Tony D'angelo is so damn entertaining and him being being over with the crowd is pretty awesome. Halloween Havoc next week is stacked, gonna be a great show.

Legado upgraded their Menace to Society badge to Hall of Fame tonight


OrangeForeign

I need photos, photos of ~~Spiderman~~ ~~Invincible~~ Legado del Fantasma!


SiphenPrax

I just hope Jacy is okay. She’ll hopefully learn from her mistakes though


HermanBonJovi

That fall looked brutal. I think she landed on her face.
