sek69 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 All the new faces on NXT look like they have potential (except Duke Hudson, dude just looks like a Generic CAW: UK Edition). Just having new faces in more than squash matches felt like a breath of fresh air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Also I love that the story here seems to be Sarray kicked Mandy Rose in the face so hard she turned into Raven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cm funk Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Man, I was all excited for REX STEINER (perfect name for the son of DFG) and we got BRONSON BREAKKKER or whatever the fuck Isn't the whole idea, "can you see this name on the WM marquee?" LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR MAIN EVENT......BROCK LESNAR VS. BORK BREAKKKER!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went from excited to disappointed just like that. I know some people want to pretend that a name doesn't mean that much but in pro wrestling, a name is everything. And WWE are fucking terrible at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoS Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I don't think Bron Breakker is THAT bad (please for the love of God remove the extra K though) but Rex Steiner is such a cool, such a perfect name that it just comes off as a steaming pile of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, that means he can trademark Rex Steiner for himself and use it in AEW or wherever else he ends up after they release him.

strobogo Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I only saw literally a few seconds, which was the very end of the Imperium tag. When did they, especially MB, get so fucking lean? Anyway, definitely a massive upgrade in visuals. It definitely feels like a developmental show, but the brighter atmosphere, more domed look with stadium seating, and the colors definitely at least gave things a fresher aesthetic. I saw clips of Rick Steiner's son and lol'd for real when he gave his name. The fuck lmao. The clip I saw of him in the ring, he looked a bit shaky but I guess he's very young and has very little training. I wonder if they changed to avoid people talking about Scott or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine him throwing all those FOOLS in the main event. Just give him the title. THE PEOPLE NEED IT. Real "put him over Flair in five minutes in the main event of Starrcade" vibes here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm all in on the DFG's son but my god that name. Other than that his ceiling is at the highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted September 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Worst thing is that dude is actually pretty good, but he REEKS of early days Edge. A bit uglier or better looking depending on the eye of the beholder, but the lanky frame is very similar. Hope he develops an actual character and presence soon, tho.

sek69 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Seemed like they were kind of doing him a disservice by having his debut be in a main event title match. Like we didn't even know this dude existed until the beginning of the show and he's getting a title shot? I mean granted no one was expecting him to win but it seemed like they could have tapped the brakes just a little considering a million people debuted here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strobogo Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 The Wild Samoans were big draws and headlined a lot of shows both as a team and solo, and Cowboy Bob himself was involved in the main event of the first WM, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Wasn't Rick himself really fucking over on the Varsity Club, tho? Besides, I'd rather have the son of Wayne Bloom over the son of Curt Hennig. Lineage is not everything etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
