KawadaSmile Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Posted July 21, 2021 What is NXT UK? On a more serious note, they managed to build a fucking aces program with Ilja Dragunov and WALTER. People who'd never seen one single second of that show watched their match. NXT on the other hand... Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Posted July 21, 2021 What I want to know is if they are going to pull the trigger on Xia Li beating Raquel for the title. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Posted July 21, 2021 Escobar's coat is fucking FINE. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Posted July 21, 2021 Poor Xia Li. She seemed to get completely squashed by Raquel's senton bomb, was barely able to get up, and then she gets SMASHED by Raquel's finisher. Fucking sucked to see. Quote
sek69 Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 Certainly something a normal and sane company does. Quote
MoS Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 Probably the name of Ryan Satin's next backstage Fox show Quote

Looked like the wind knocked out of here by the senton, which I'm sure made the bump for her finisher suck that much more. Quote

Dale Wolfe Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 NXT UK is a much better product than NXT HHH at the moment, though only about 10 people watch it on BT last time I checked Quote
Blehschmidt Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 I thought the Xia Li/Raquel Gonzalez match was pretty decent until the injury happened. I had no idea that Xia Li was only 22 years old. If she continues to progress and get better, she could be great. Quote

If she continues to progress and get better, she could be great. That can't be true, she looks much older. Cagematch has 1988 as her birth-year and her turning 33 in a week which looks to be about what I would have guessed. Quick googling also shows the 1988 birth-year much more likely than 1998. She signed in 2016 and at that point already owned a fitness studio, something very unlikely for a 18-year-old. Quote
Blehschmidt Posted July 21, 2021 Report Posted July 21, 2021 I didn't know anything about her history, but do agree that she does look older. I just looked at her wikipedia page earlier, and it had her listed as 22. 32 would make a lot more sense. Quote
Strummer Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Bayley debuted on the main roster 5 years ago today. Quote

I guess it's hard to be too critical since they eventually got it right with her, but she could have been the female Cena in terms of appeal to kids with her old gimmick. I think she was the first (or at least one of the first) ""can't miss" NXT-to-main-roster prospect and that "Vince has grandkids, he'll get her gimmick!".....and yet......yeah. Quote
SirEdger Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Seems like Vince thinks that he can do now with Nikki A.S.H. what he failed to do with Bayley as a babyface Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Posted July 23, 2021 Toni Storm will debut tonight Quote
sek69 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 I guess Fox is putting a little pressure on WWE to get a return on their investment, but it seems like everyone is on Smackdown now and there's like 3 women on Raw. Quote
Coffey Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Toni Storm is another talent that, to me, should be can't miss... but in WWE, you just never know. WWE has a lot of talented women. A lot of beautiful women. A lot of women that are both. But they also constantly do 50/50 booking, a lot of rematches, goofy gimmicks like Alexa or Nikki, overexposure & they have Becky Lynch's return on the near horizon. So you just never know if someone will be booked into obscurity, lost in the shuffle, or if they'll bloom into something special. Of course, that's not exclusive to just the women, that's where the men are at too. At this point, it feels like having been in NXT before being called up to the main roster is more of a detriment to a talent than a positive. They'll probably give Toni Storm some sort of booty bump spot & a headscissors submission & call her "Thunder" Toni Storm. Quote
MoS Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Sasha has to return at some point too once she is done with her shooting. They will probably do a lot of Bianca-Banks rematches once she returns Quote

strobogo Posted July 23, 2021 Report Posted July 23, 2021 Toni Storm absolutely will be wasted because Vince won't like how her body type looks on TV after 3 months Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Posted July 24, 2021 People seem really into WWE at Rolling Loud Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Posted July 24, 2021 Happy Corbin is such a great gimmick Quote
KawadaSmile Posted July 24, 2021 Author Report Posted July 24, 2021 Hey that Dom vs Jimmy match was pretty fucking good Quote
