Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I don't hate Dillinger but I wanted to see Uhaa doing cool shit, not laying on the mat selling.
JerryvonKramer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!!!! So old school!
Parties Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Dillinger's character feels like a reach: it's a crowd that will get anything over, but "10" is a bit lazy. Why wouldn't you go to 11? Short and some definite dead spots, but solidly executed for a debut. Lots of "Uhaa" chants early, and crowd loved his combo finisher, but the screens were turned off for the match until the replays. Also had no idea he's from Stone Mountain, GA. Bring in Jake as his manager! Nothing could possibly go awry. The Dusty Classic is awesome as a 2015 Crockett Cup, and Regal is the best authority figure they've ever had.
The Chief Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Corbin's new gimmick tonight is like when they threw Jungle Jim Steele to the Lions in the ECW arena
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Joe isn't getting a loud pop. Parties.. what's up with the boos?
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Joe saying they called me was a great line.
Stiva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Corbin as the hater of indie wrestling is the perfect NXT heel gimmick.
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Joe isn't getting a loud pop. Parties.. what's up with the boos? That sounded like a pretty good pop to me.
hammerva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Compared to Blue Pants it was like Zach Ryder came out to the ring. Although to be fair Liger got a worse reaction than Blue Pants
RCS1988 Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Next 2 Takeover's are in October and in the UK for December.
Stiva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Man, it's so disappointing that Joe never got to work on the main stage when he was in his prime.
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 I could enjoy Joe going full blown grumpy veteran.
hammerva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 That was definitely a match to put Corbin over more than Samoa Joe. He put on a very good performance given he hasn't looked good in long matches before
goodhelmet Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Samoa Joe vs. Byron Corbin - Joe looked solid but that dropkick missed by a mile. - Corbin on offense sucks. - For two guys who are heavy hitters, this was best when they were doing submissions on the mat. - The strike exchange was no better or worse than a typical NJ strike exchange… except for Joe’s spinning back fist. That was sweet. - A few flubs and dead spots but this was solid. I want to see a match between Cena and Joe to see if Cena can get Joe to raise his game.
Blehschmidt Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Smooth chain wrestling and power offense from Bull Dempsey. Hadn't seen him work in a while and he looked good. Was totally unfamiliar with Elias Sampson: is he working a gimmick of the ABC hit series "Nashville"? Bull struck me as a very likable baby face who got a solid if not stellar reaction in his hometown. He will become a really good worker, but I wonder if his low height and body will keep him from doing much on the main roster. He's shorter than I realized and in a different time and place could have been like, Pequeno Jerry Blackwell. I did commentary and ring announcing for some of the Pittsburgh area indies that Elias Sampson worked before getting signed. He worked the WV/PA/OH area as "Heavy Metal Jesus" Logan Shulo for several years.
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Joe is frustrating. There were flashes in that match where you get excited because it looks like he's about to ramp up to that next level and he just never does.
JerryvonKramer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Every match so far in 2-3 star range, apart from the one with the Crews which is more like *
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Jesus. Can Stephanie just fuck off already.
cpst Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Even NXT PPVs need to kill time with a Steph promo segment.
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Just rerun the Bayley/Sasha contract signing.
Stiva Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 NXT gained such momentum from being a simple, well booked product and now it's selling out 16,000 seater arenas. I wonder if that'll trickle down to the main shows. Book it well and they will come?
JerryvonKramer Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Cop out, not really the main event.
Mad Dog Posted August 23, 2015 Report Posted August 23, 2015 Cop out, not really the main event. Yes. It is. It's one of the biggest programs and one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
