Cornette's racket Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 I like it, it looks like a cross between a boxing belt an modern version of a territory's top regional title. Exactly. This is the stuff that trips does well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachchaos Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Maybe the coolest looking BELT since the Attitude Era. It's like a modern redesign of the classic alligator skin United States Championship. Is this gonna be Ricochet's title?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 The best loooking title belt around, and all of NXT's redesigned ones and the UK belt were good looking stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Still not sure if I actually like the main NXT title or that the old X belt was so stupid that anything was an improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 If it was me the North American title would either be Lars Sullivan or Velveteen Dream. By the way salivating at the thought of Lars in a ladder match Since it is a ladder match maybe Ricochet would make sense as a champion. I don't know about EC3 winning it that night. Having said all of that I assume it will be Adam Cole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Except that EC3 surpasses Adam Cole in every single category aside from *maybe* making the most out of garbage & weapons matches. EC3 is a better talker and all-around character by a wide margin. Cole is essentially the next Edge - very bland overall, a highlight guy in garbage settings, but highly dependent on the level of the performers surrounding him. If they're looking to buy stock in either of those guys, then EC3 is simply the better selection in my view. I realize some may ding him for the TNA association, but the fact that he rose above that should be a major nod in his favor. Inversely, Cole has the built-in benefit of the PWG super Indy buzz, but he's also got the stink of the Undisputed Era (an all-time terrible name for any faction) and just being totally bland since his NXT arrival for the most part.

FMKK Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I kinda don't want EC3 to win in the vain hope that it means he'll get called up really quickly. He'd be a great feud for Bryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've seen almost none of EC3, so I can't comment there, but I agree 100% with SomethingSavage when it comes to Adam Cole. "Bay Bay" is the very definition of a bland indy geek to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB8 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 I've never seen EC3 before (that I'm aware of, anyway), but I've been binging a lot of NXT from around November last year through to where it's currently at, and I'll be fucked if I haven't enjoyed Adam Cole quite a bit. I had never particularly cared for him before and the Adam Cole Bay Bay stuff is goofy and all, but to me he's come across as a guy that feels soon-to-be ready for the main roster. I have no dog in an Adam Cole v EC3 fight, though. If I'm pulling for anyone in that ladder match it's Velveteen Dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Between Ciampa vs. Gargano, the ladder match and Almas vs. Black, Takeover once again shapes up to be phenomenal.I think it depends if youre into Black. Im personally not but the Gargano feud was going to be impossible to follow no matter who challenged after. Im sure the show will be good (obviously Gargano/Ciampa will rule) but Im not as emotionally invested in the card and am fine with being at ROH that night and catching Takeover in the AM.

sek69 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 EC3 and Spud had some great interplay in TNA, often the best part of the show in the darkest part of the Dixie Era. I hope they get a chance to cross paths in WWE somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB8 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 That Gargano/Ciampa video package was tremendous. North American title hype to close the show. Every Takeover match being spotlighted to some degree. Yeah, that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 It seems Lio Rush is going to be partnering with Babatunde, judging by recent pictures of NXT house shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR Ackermann Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 This booking makes Gargano look like a loser. He goes 0-4 against Almas. His wife beats Vega and he gets on the mic and says ok my business with Almas is officially over, let's move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I know NXT has to restock after the call ups, and their track record rebuiding guys is pretty good, but I don't know about this new Kona Reeves push that seems to be coming soon.

SmartMark15 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 So Gargano and Ciampa are inexplicably continuing their feud and I'm not complaining because it's the best feud of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachchaos Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I love it because an asshole like Ciampa would not take the loss lying down. No idea how they top that New Orleans match, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thread Killer Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 If what happened after the Cole/Lorcan match this week means that we're getting a Tag Title match between The Undisputed Era and Burch & Lorcan, then I for one am going to have a joygasm.

NotJayTabb Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 The Burch/Lorcan team is odd, because they got paired up after having two violent fun matches against each other, but seem to lose every match they have as a team. Burch seems to have that Hardcore Holly thing of being referred to as one of the toughest men in the company whilst losing every match.

The Thread Killer Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 I agree. Neither of them has accomplished much of note so far in NXT, but they seem to have impressed people with those matches against each other. (And so they should have, because those matches were great.) I keep hoping that this team of theirs somehow breaks through to the next level. It could be that segment was used just to put the Undisputed Era over as big heels - but I don't know why Burch needed to come out for that. They could have got the point across by just having Cole, O'Reilly and Strong beat up Lorcan. When Burch tried to make the save, I really hoped that signaled a possible angle/title match for Burch and Lorcan against O'Reilly and Strong. Another reason I thought that might be the case, was just by considering the NXT Tag Team division and looking at who is available. With the AoP now gone to Raw, you have to consider Heavy Machinery the #1 face Tag Team in NXT, but they're clearly heading into a feud with War Raiders. I guess it would make sense to predict that Bate, Seven and Dunne might now feud with the Undisputed Era as a stable? Other than that, who are the logical contenders to O'Reilly and Strong? I don't see TM-61 or The Street Profits being at that level yet. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Burch and Lorcan getting the shot.
