The Wrestling Thread Lured You In And Brought You Down! - Part 243

I don't see Black staying in NXT all that long. He already seems to be getting the main event treatment with his entrance and such. I could easily see him get a quick call up after SummerSlam.

Still, though NXT should not be in any hurry to sign Adam Cole, Lio Rush, reDRagon or Donovan Dijak. You sign those guys after Black, Roode, McIntyre, Gargano, Strong, Itami and Ciampa get called up. You can then refill the ranks with Cole, Rush, Fish, O'Reilly, Dijak and whoever else they might be interested in from the Indies like Ricochet.

I base this on the current structure of NXT.

 

[NDX]

They can still sign them, just use them in house shows and at the PC for a few months and slowly debut them. Cole, Fish and O'Reilly are the main names there, they could debut as a group, it has a short history in the indies.

My heart broke for Gargano, he did a great job during that beating. Ciampa did great also, you could genuinely believe he internally flipped.

 

[Wheels]

It's looking more and more like Mahal might win tonight. I hope this works,

Then people will complain that all three are being misused already in NXT.

My issue is that none of those three as well as Lio Rush and Donovan Dijak are needed right now because of the depth in NXT with Roode, Black, Ohno, Itami, McIntyre, Ciampa, Gargano, Strong, Young and Almas. Ohno, Black and McIntyre weren't even on the card last night and it was a fantastic show.

NXT has all of those guys and then add Cole, Fish, O'Reilly, Rush, Dijak and Crazzy Steve? Then with all of that talent, they better start booking like Evolve more often for Takeover events. I just don't see that happening.

I can see Crazzy Steve being signed very soon due to PR purposes as he's legally blind and having one will probably help the company in PR. Outside of him, I'd wait a bit to sign the former ROH guys.

Takeover was an excellent show. I really think all PPVs except the big four should be limited to 5 to 6 matches. It lets them breath and its ample time for a well told story. I wondered why the tag match went on last and afterwards it made total sense. That's how you end a show. It was one of the most effective betrayals/break ups I've ever seen.

And yet, the main roster will find a way to screw up Sasha turning on Bayley, if it ever happens.

As for Backlash, I think Styles vs. Owens and Nakamura vs. Ziggler will be good, but both will have a hard time topping the UK Championship match.

 

[Wheels]

Save me from Mahal and Orton, Rusev. You're my only hope.

Too bad Cena isn't coming back for another month.

 

[Wheels]

I will pop hard if Rusev just comes out and destroys Orton and Mahal. Heck, I'd pop if it was Cena as well.

 

[LOBO3315a]

You mean the RKO out of nowhere won't beat the Push out of nowhere?

 

[Dr. Evil]

I hope Asuka loses the title at Takeover: Brooklyn III so that she comes up to the main roster two or three days later. I just want to see the facial reaction of the women of Raw or Smackdown when they hear her song blasting in the arena.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

JR show now, Billy corigan and JB are here.

 

[chamber-music]

NXT takeover UK championship match was fire. Dunne and Bate are extremely talented and are both in their early twenties still.

We all knew the heel turn would come eventually but it still pulled the heartstrings of everyone

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Pissing next to jake Bradley or whatever the **** his name is.

 

[chamber-music]

The Chicago smark crowd will s*** all over the Orton/Mahal match

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Giving zema ion dirty looks

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Chicago smark crowd will s*** all over the Orton/Mahal match

Not if Orton rebrands himself Deep Dish Orton. The Chicago crowd will totally overlook the fact that an Orton main event is like eating a giant piece of toast.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I can see the crowd going crazy for Mahal for some reason. Just to **** with everything.

 

[Dr. Evil]

They will chant Steroids at Jinder.
