Melo don't miss, don't sleep on HBK Jr., Roddy'll tell ya!!

[Deleted]

Melo proved last night that he's that dude. Shawn Michaels's protege, HBK Jr, Melo with the Melanin, whatever, he really showed out. We knew Roddy was good and sure, a great amount knew Melo was good but I felt like he's been underestimated. He's just really stepped it up since Trick came into play and Trick? He's great as his homeboy who can still throw down is need be. They're so relatable, easily understand and honestly I haven't hated on anything they've. They're one of the best parts of NXT 2.0 to me.

He's basically reminding me of a combination of an IC Champion HBK mixed in with a young Nation of Domination Rock.

Either way, he's dope.

Melo and Trick are one of my favorite acts in the company. Trick’s addition was perfect and really helped Melo ascend.

Agreed. Trick is weird but..I like it haha. He’s a bit of a callback to not exactly the prototypical figure/character in wrestling but it works somehow.

Hayes is awesome, and like Bron, should be taken care of. Not as young but he could definitely be something.

I'm impressed how quickly they've made me care about a lot of these guys. 6 months ago I had never heard of most of these new NXT people but a lot of them are doing really well. LeBron and Melo are the standouts but Trick, Tony D'Angelo, Grayson Waller, Cora Jade, Gigi Dolin, Ivy Nile, Andre Chase and the Creed's have impressed me a lot too. There are going to be duds along the way (Von Wagner so far) but that's to be expected when you're dealing with inexperience.

Call me old fashioned, but the goal of developmental should be to develop NEW people and I'm glad they're attempting that again. I loved the old NXT and it had great match quality but sometime around 2015 or so they just stopped caring about that and built the whole thing around veteran/indy stars. Bron being the first actual new/young guy to be NXT champion since Bo Dallas almost a decade ago says it all.

I'm kind of amazed there hasn't been a thread about either that scary botch or how he apparently crapped himself.

His old theme song is still stuck in my damn head all the time. Like they should cut the intro out of it and put it in his new song I can't see dude's face without immediately going IM THE GREATEST TO EVER DO IT NOBODY DO IT BETTER

This week they cut one of the most iconic NXT promos I've seen these past few years based off what it was.



I laughed all the way through this lmao

I was so caught up on "rest in piss to all my opps" that I didn't even notice the f***ing shirt oh my god. He literally did it.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I wanna have faith in this act, but he's North American Champion, which gives him about all the luck and success of someone getting hit by a truck trying to cross a street

It's an act that's found itself in short time, guess you have to in the new NXT regime considering how quickly Vince wants to find stars or you're gonna get tossed to the side. I feel like this is an act where they're succeeding because it isn't being messed with... we'll see how long that lasts, but it's working right now.

[Mozenrath]

I have a lot of mixed feelings about NXT 2.0, but I really hope he's got a future. I hope a lot of them do. He's got a lot of potential, and a lot of skill already, but if we've taken any lessons from the past few years, luck and favor from the office are always huge factors.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

Other then Bron I think he has the biggest future of the NXT 2.0 guys in that he's talented, they clearly are behind him, and he doesn't have an over the top gimmick that's going to prevent him from getting high on the card. I know that there's been people in the past who were pushed hard in NXT and then were wasted and in some cases even released when they got to the main roster but the difference is those were Triple H guys. This current crop are Vince's guys so I don't think that's going to happen.

“Rest in peace to my opps” got it 😂😂

Just realized something.

[Instant Classic]

Him and Breaker will be the next big stars if they don’t mess them up.

Putting Trick and Melo together was one of the best decisions they've made in NXT 2.0 so far, even though it was weird HOW they joined up.

Duke Hudson getting the shit kicked out of him was awesome at least.

[Jumpin' Jesse Walsh]

It feels safe at least to predict he'll be a more successful HBK protege than Michael Shane.

Melo really shooting these days!
