Badlittlekitten Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Arm work two matches in a row. Very odd. Quote

Escobar not only has the look and the presence, but he cuts great promos. His bachelor's degree in International Relations helps a lot. His group might be too big to be wrestling in such a pigsty such as the PC. Quote

Immediately made me think of Beyond the Mat. That backstage scene where the wrestlers are like "Oh, you're working the leg in your match? OK, we'll do something else." Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 This might be the best NXT match in a while, tbh. Not just in terms of in-ring work, but of elevating the talent involved. Legado del Fantasma is very fucking good, Swerve FINALLY had a feud in which he looked fantastic, and as the cherry on top we have Adonis showing up with FIRE. Quote
C.S. Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Candice LeRae's promo is good. It would be better if she could actually act. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Really hard to have a stand out cruisers match when everyone is having cruiser matches. Really liked the finish, came off surprisingly natural and uncontrived. Who the hell was the guy who run in to help Swerve? Never seen him before. Quote

Just now, C.S. said: Was he the big mystery? He's Ashante "Thee" Adonis. He was Tehuti Miles in the indies. He's been in the Cruiserweight division for a while. IIRC he wrestled Dream in the same episode KUSHIDA returned. Dude's good. Quote

Kinda disappointing if so, because who the fuck is he? Â Quote

Saw rumours of it being the better of the Rotunda brothers, which is interesting. Quote

Coffey Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 It is kind of interesting how the WWE brand split never really worked how WWE wanted, with the feeling of the Monday Night Wars. With RAW & Smackdown being like WWE & WCW. But they still get the surprise/return pop when someone from the main roster goes back to NXT. Like Breeze, Fandango, Balor. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 The Gargano family is comprised of Warner Bros. bad guys. Quote
C.S. Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 This dumb trope of the ref being blind as a bat really needs to be updated. Made no difference ultimately, but still. Gargano's cartoonish reaction to the kickout was hysterical though. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Like, why the fuck is Gargano moving to the main roster? To see him play a low-rate version of the Miz? To see him being HBK's mini? Gable probably towers him and he was renamed Shorty G. They're gonna rename him Nano Gargano. Quote
Badlittlekitten Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Needlessly overbooked that but I found it funny. Wrong person won. Quote

Still, the point stands - Nano Gargano on the main roster would be worse than what we have now. Quote

Even if he doesn't work out, he can return to NXT in two years a conquering hero and have dozens of fresh matches waiting for him. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 Thing is: he's had fresh match-ups and yet *he* feels stale. His whole act. Him turning heel was somewhat recent and yet feels like it's ran its course.  Quote
