C.S. Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Bronson Reed saying Santos Escobar should've "stayed in his lane" in the Cruiserweight division instead of challenging for the North American Championship encapsulates everything that's wrong with this company.

KawadaSmile Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Haven't watched NXT in a while, but I'm gonna do it to pay respects to Xia Li, Legado del Fantasma and Raquel Gonzalez. That main event is gonna suck so much ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I the only one who sees absolutely nothing in Karrion Kross? Bubba, NXT will never have a five way going under 25 minutes. Not in this economy, at least. And no, basically no one is seeing anything valuable in KK. His title reign absolutely stank, and he is getting punked by dudes half his size on the mic with zero clapback. Either they are playing a "dude sucks but management is behind him" on purpose or he is getting hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Imagine how good WWE would be if they put the same effort they use to relive the 90s into literally anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 MSK does nothing for me. Is it just me? I mean, their ringwork is fine, but I have no idea who the fuck they are as characters or why I should care about them. (Not a problem unique to them in NXT/WWE, but still...)

EricR Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I hate that there is no rewind on Peacock live shows. I came in towards the beginning of the Legado del Fantasma trios and loved it. Li/Martinez was a great pace and a great length. I think that's the best Li has looked, impressed with both. https://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2021/06/nxt-takeover-in-your-house-61321.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blehschmidt Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 Certainly not you, that was fucking terrible. Kross is awful. Gargano, Cole, and O'Reilly have been played out for at least two years, and Pete Dunne can't be expected to carry 4 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I'll honestly admit I was distracted during the last two matches. I probably missed a good one between Raquel Gonzales and Ember Moon, but what flashes I saw of the main event did little to reel me in. 26 minutes ago, Blehschmidt said: Kross is awful.

This pretty much sums up professional wrestling from about 2005-present. A bunch of bland dudes without any character or charisma doing a bunch of spots to "this is awesome!" chants. The Johnny Gargano's & Adam Cole's of the world. Or... pretty much all of AEW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwin Posted June 14, 2021 Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 I was at the PC for this. Great show live. MOTN for me was the opening six man tag. El Legado del Fantasma are really coming together and have been growing on me. Say what you want about the Tian Sha stuff but the crowd ate that up. The match was good as well. Heck, I enjoyed all the matches sans the main event which was way long and honestly featuring a ton of guys who I've already seen do this stuff countless times. I'll revisit the 4 other matches tomorrow to see how they come across on video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
