sek69 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Trying so hard to not bust out laughing at work when the BLUE PANTS CITY chant broke out. Quote
Stiva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 For all the talk of a renewed brand split, is NXT the new Smackdown? Do WWE go pillage Evolve etc. to fill NXT up? I've clearly missed the last 6 months of discussion but a "development territory" getting this kind of crowd sets the mind running. EDIT: Has WWE really sold out an arena around a Prince Devitt/Kevin Steen ladder match? That's fucking awesome! Quote
hammerva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 It is Leva Bates from SHIMMER and Shine Wrestling. I love that her entrance is still Big Cass doing the Price is Right theme song Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Vaudevillians need to be doing more European Uppercuts. Quote
WingedEagle Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Liger-Breeze was a ton of fun and much more than I expected. Not familiar with these teams as I only catch NXT tv from time to time. Alexa Bliss looks good in those shorts. Not sure about the Boardwalk Empire crew. Quote
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Not gonna lie, I popped for Liger selfies. Ditto. Quote
sek69 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Alexa with Blake & Murphy reminds me so much of Trish with Test and Albert in terms of how much of a bigger star she is than the jobbers she's managing. Quote
cpst Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Alexa Bliss has that perfect mix of hot and evil. Quote
...TG Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 2015 is a weird year, man: https://instagram.com/p/6tRVB6PwCk/. Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Good running forearms from Gotch reminiscent of Dory Jr. Quote
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Blake and Murphy's Iron Man attire is the best thing ever. Quote
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Vaudevillains vs. Blacke & Murphy - Early on, the Vaudevillain offense was on point and awesomely executed. - It’s really apparent on this show but Blake and Murphy have a sleazy 80s territory tag team vibe going on. - Blake and Murphy were smart in cutting off the ring but they needed nastier offense to keep the crowd engaged. The smartest 80s heel teams were killing a guy’s body part or giving more hope to the face in peril. The neckbreaker drop was nice. - Gotch was in for a criminally short time. His offense is so awesome. - I thought the Blue Pants and Bliss stuff went on too long but the tag finish was great. Quote
cpst Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I like the finishing sequence and how they teased that Alexa Bliss' interference would still work via distraction. WWE loves distraction finishes so much that it actually had me convinced it might happen. Quote
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Good running forearms from Gotch reminiscent of Dory Jr. If Dory had Gotch's charisma, he'd be an all time great. Quote
Parties Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 "Gangs of New York" chant in my section for Vaudevillians definitely wins "least expected reaction" from a crowd that I've ever heard. Herbert Asbury is dancing in his grave at the thought of his work being bellowed from the cheap seats in Cobble Hill. Near falls really got over: the Aiden English senton was huge and the crowd loved the title change. Vaudevillians are making this gimmick work against all odds, and Blue Pants - despite looking indie as hell - can really dance a jig to that tuneful piano. Taker is already getting booed in the building during his promo video. Tomorrow night may end up a slaughter if his conditioning isn't up to par. Quote
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Two good matches to start. The Vaudevillians won in a satisfying way I thought. Quote
The Chief Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Dillinger reminds me of a late TNN era ECW heel Quote
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 This seems counter productive to debuting your next big talent. Quote
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Apollo Crews vs. Tye Dillinger - Crews looked solid but Dillinger took way too much of the match from somebody who was debuting. - The end run with Crews hitting all of his signature spots should have been the whole match. Quote
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 They pulled that out right as the crowd seemed to be getting pissed off. Quote
cpst Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 It's even worse because Tye Dillinger is a nobody. Quote
The Chief Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I actually kind of liked Dillinger in thay match... Quote
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!!!! Quote
Stiva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I'm laughing my ass off at that low-rent Michael Cole on commentary. Quote
