What a finish.

Wow, I didn't think that WWE still had the balls to do intergender matches anymore. Impressive Bayley, most impressive.

[Loki882]

Oh lord how I love her so very much!! I've been going back and looking at some of her old matches as Kana, and she's amazing (win or lose). Also I cannot help but respect someone who BOOKS THEMSELF to get the ever loving crap beaten out of them by Minoru freaking Suzuki. That takes guts.

I can't believe I got a like and reply from Mick Foley on Facebook today.....I know it's a small thing but that was cool for me.

Foley is good.

The role of Captain Obvious will now be played by WWE: http://nodq.com/wwe/470642051.shtml

It'll be interesting to see how WWE handles this especially after what happened to Billy Gunn after using PED's outside of WWE. I'm not sure if he was even under a long term talent contract. He was mostly being used as a trainer.

My lord, she's like a human care bear. It's next to impossible not to like her. She's like the female Daniel Bryan in terms of crowd popularity, but with some John Cena elements as well (namely the good Cena elements).

I could honestly see her being like Ricky Steamboat or Rey Mysterio. They spent most of their careers as babyfaces because, they were just that good at it.

God I hope WWE doesn't screw it up when she comes to the main roster. Everybody wants to see her do well and it's all on creative since she's shown she can hold up her side.

 

[Loki882]

Bayley has the potential to be the ultimate babyface. Like an awesomely adorable mixture of Daniel Bryan, Rey Mysterio, and the good stuff about John Cena. And she's a character that we've never really seen before with women in the WWE (WWE tends to write even their face women as essentially being slightly less jerkish than the heels, which isn't very creative). But Bayley, she's popular because she's a good person/character who wants to have fun. And she's legitimately talented in the ring as well, which gives her even more appeal.

She can literally appeal to all groups (which is why you have cynical grown-ass men even clapping when she does her entrance). But she's got a particular appeal to young children (especially young girls), which we've also never really gotten in WWE before.

Use her well and she's gold. Use her poorly, and it's a massive waste of potential. And it's why I'm very conflict about the idea of her being called up. I mean if the main roster writers cannot even use Sasha or Paige well (and yeah they don't use the others very well either, but those two in particular seem almost tailor made for a WWE ring), then how are they going to handle a character as different from the norm as Bayley?

 

[TheCommissioner]

Sasha had a concussion (the WWE tried to keep it quiet) and Paige was in the doghouse for being a d**k

 

[RetroNaz]

Paige is still in some kind of doghouse I think. What a waste of her talent, really.

She'll be another "should be have been" I think.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Imagine if Asuka was Sasha's partner, the look of fear on Dana Brooke's face would be gif worthy.

Did Sasha ask them to keep it quiet? Not sure why they would otherwise.

 

[TheCommissioner]

she took a bad fall at a house show about a month or so ago and didn't start working again till just before she came out against Charlotte on RAW a couple weeks back

I am one dumb mother ****er for not going to this show.

The Shining Stars are going first overall. I'm calling it.

 

[JabarR]

Asuka's not losing that title anytime soon.

 

[Loki882]

Maybe when/if Athena finally debuts. Because those two had at least one match in the indies that I could find, and it was pretty even.

But yeah, the only one on the current NXT roster who really feels like a challenge for her is Bayley (whom she already beat).

 

[Bat Brain]

What if they get split up? What the hell are we gonna do then?

True, but I have a feeling Bayley is heading to the main roster after NXT Takeover: Brooklyn.

 

[Loki882]

Which again I'm very nervous/conflicted about. Heck I think that it was a mistake to bring Charlotte, Becky, and Sasha up all at the same time. Because the writers clearly hadn't thought of good ways to use all of these women beforehand, so must of them have just kind of floundered about on the main roster.

 

[Pink Ranger]

They'd never split up the Shining Stars. The WWE stock price would take such a hit.

They're a solid team, I don't love them, but they don't deserve the "Why do they have jobs?" heat they get. I wish The Usos were even as good as them to be honest lol.

 

[Slushy]

I am one dumb mother ****er for not going to this show.

I don't blame you. A lot of fans including myself were 100% convinced Cena was going over.

I'm bummed I couldn't make it to this year's event.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So six NXT talents are going to be drafted......

If the rumors are true about NXT signings (Ibushi, Gran Metalik, Cedric Alexander, ZSJ, Jack Gallagher, Tozawa, Lince Dorado, Big Damo, Tommy End, Roderick Strong, Noam Dar) plus rumors of the Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Adam Cole next year NXT is going to reload fast.

I'm all aboard the Metalik and Dorado train.
