Ok, I just recently started watching NXT. Mainly because it wasn't available on TV in my area and I didn't know it was on Hulu. After going to Axxess though and finding out I decided to give it a try and I've watched the last two weeks. So my question is this - were those lumberjacks anybody important? I didn't recognize any of them and they all looked like the most pathetic pack of jobbers I'd ever seen in my life.

I do have to admit that having the Shield run in and kill all of them was a bit much. Those guys might be nobodies, but having 12 guys beaten down by two men pretty much ensured that they won't be anything but nobodies.

This is the episode featuring that awesome Emma sign? Yes, it is. The big thing that I'm wondering with NXT at the moment is who they will have beat Big E. Langston for the NXT title. When Seth Rollins was called up as part of The Shield, they couldn't get the title off him fast enough. But Big E. has been part of the main roster for a bit, and he still has it. I thought that they'd be giving it to Conor O'Brian, but that seem to not be happening. Still, either way it's interesting to me to see what they may have planned for that.

I think Big E still has the belt because he's not fully ready to be on the main roster as a competitor. His debut, while at WrestleMania, was in a tag match, and one of his TV matches was just a squash match against one of the premier enhancement talents of the company. It's possible that The Shield still regularly appear on NXT because they're not quite ready to wrestle singles matches yet. You can throw them on NXT whenever you want one of them to do a one on one match, but just keep having them do beat downs and six mans on the main shows.

About that not ready for singles matches...
I know it was probably brief, but didn't Rollins in the build to WrestleMania have a singles match with Big Show (that ended in a DQ win for Show?)

Fine episode, enjoyed Emma and the Shield beatdown of the jobber lumberjacks the most. The Axxess piece was also fun.

The Axxess video was brilliant. I loved it. In my opinion, videos like that should be on Raw and Smackdown to get the NXT guys over and get people watching.
I love Emma. The match was very good for a divas match. A very good finish. THAT sign was awesome and she's getting hella over. I'm waiting for the next tapings in the hope that the fans decide to sing Emma's theme tune like Fandango's theme.
Bray's match was short but sweet. Loved the promo. I also love the unique finishing move name, 'Sister Abigail'. Rollins against Graves now, but it's been a great show.

That was Emma's best TV match to date, thanks to Bayley.

After what happened on RAW though, it's kinda awkward when they are talking about Neville vs Cesaro for the US Championship.
I know it's pre taped, but I was still confused when they were promoting it.

If they don't decide on making the show seem out of date with him having the title on it, then either they're going to cut the match from the broadcast, or Cesaro is winning back the title on Monday.

Honestly I think champions should never appear on NXT unless there are no plans to have the title change hands between the taping and the date the episode airs. Cesaro was regularly appearing on NXT, so WWE should've had a bit more foresight into this.

I loved that Axxess vignette. It really made me feel that the NXT superstars are truly living the dream by being a part of WrestleMania, even those who didn't get on the main show.

Emma got the Austin pop when her music hit. Talk about being over, talk about Emmalution.

Emma is great and I think she would make a good dorky heel.

I love Emma so much. She's so goofy but it's adorable plus it looks like she's having such a great time. You can't hate her. Also didn't expect her to bust out the Tarantula. I lol'd when she did the pin while dancing which caused Bayley to reverse it. Nice match. Anyone think she should bust out a (horrible) shuffle? Makes sense since the dance originated in Melbourne.

Out of curiosity, when did Emma start dancing? I've seen stuff from September of last year, I think, and she's just playing a generic face there.
