I would like to thank Bo Dallas for his gimmick because now every time I hear someone try to troll us on the message board, I read it as Bo Dallas saying this stuff.

Was watching Mojos debut, Burch locked in the chin lock and I instantly thought "Get hype would be a great thing for the fans to chant here to get Mojo on his feet" then literally 2 seconds later they started chanting it, I love the NXT crowd. Mojo Rawley just came off odd to me. Nothing really seemed to gel. I don't know if the NXT crowd will support him going forward (they were reasonably polite this time). My only issue with Mojo so far is that he has this energetic entrance and he's all about hype, yet he got hit once and slowed way the hell down like someone shot him in the leg. Where the hell did all that hype go? Oh, that and his attire looks..... off. |

That Cesaro/Kruger match was definitely not what I was expecting. Even heel vs. heel type match at first until Cesaro starting DESTROYING the guy, very convincgly. The saliva coming out of Kruger's mouth in that chinlock was a great touch. The knee drop off the top to cap it off looked like it killed him. It certainly seemed like a face turn in the making for Kruger, I don't see how that works with his gimmick though.
Both guys are excellent, if it was up to me they'd both be main eventing in WWE.

These hype threads are great. Wish WWE was as creative.

I like Aiden English, and he's not a bad singer, but he should stop shoehorning "WWE" into all his songs.
I suggest replacing it with "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE", which would convey his self-promoting persona.

Didn't someone here say the Santana/Charlotte match was one of the worst of the year? Don't know where that came from, pretty good outing. Charlotte reminds me of Alundra Blayze a lot. I'd imagine Santana will get hired; don't know much about her but she seems like she'll be a good addition based on that match. RVD vs Aiden English is indeed one of the weirdest match ups on paper thus far. Ended up being pretty good though. I quite like Aiden English but I can't see him on the main roster. There are so many guys in NXT I don't want to see promoted because they won't shine like they do on NXT. Mojo Rawley just came off odd to me. Nothing really seemed to gel. I don't know if the NXT crowd will support him going forward (they were reasonably polite this time). Emma/Paige are a fun odd couple. Summer/Sasha seem to be working well together too. Yeah that Charlotte/Santana match wasn't bad, but Charlote is being exposed as not the best wrestler. She's pliable and fairly athletic, but Santana really helped make that match enjoyable. That Russian leg sweep into a submission hold was pretty sweet, but Charlotte's moves don't really look like they land well and that Ace Crusher was terrible. That kind of halfassery might fly on the main roster with the Total Divas, but the Women's Division bar in NXT is a bit higher. What? I gotta spell it out for you - she's S A W F T! Rawley didn't really pop for me either though. |

Charlotte's Diamond Dust to a kneeling opponent sucks all kind of ass. Maybe if she started doing it off the ropes it would look better.

Damn they cut an Emma and Paige promo from our version?
I think Paige is going to make a great straight women in comedy segments, not only was she was pretty good in that segment but there's that picture where she has a look of resigned annoyance because of Bayley hugging her.

Whatever happened to William Regal doing commentary?
Why is Alex 'My word what a waste of space' Riley there?

I enjoy A-Ry's commentary, I'm surprised that most don't like it. He's got enthusiasm and seems sure of himself and not tripping over words, much better than The Miz. I definitely prefer Master Regal...but it's Regal. I'd prefer him over almost anyone.

He has enthusiasm and this commentary role has allowed him to show a bit of personality. I like A-ry as a wrestler, but he just blows as a commentator. I find him a little plain compared to others in his role like JBL or Booker T, or even Striker with his nicknames. At least when Riley wouldn't shut up about his time with Miz he had that odd little quirk that people could laugh at, but not anymore since he stopped doing it. I tend to get the sense that most people like Riley on the booth simply because he's "not Miz". |

It's just an easy comparison to make because they're both wrestlers doing commentary right now, and I think Riley does a better job. A-Ry seems to filter things through his football background, and as a former football player it works for me. He's not all that insightful, but he doesn't say anything dumb either. JBL can be great and he can be irritating as hell. A-Ry stays right in the middle, but he's always confident and well-spoken, and can be funny. I can see a future in commentary for him, I'd be interested to know how the E feels about his work. Perhaps you're bothered by his commentary because you'd much rather see him wrestling? That'd be understandable. |

I can see a future in commentary for him, I'd be interested to know how the E feels about his work. Perhaps you're bothered by his commentary because you'd much rather see him wrestling? That'd be understandable. You're right, that's part of it. I WOULD rather see him wrestling, or at the very least he should be wrestling AND doing commentary, much like The Miz. Now that I know he's recently had shoulder surgery I know he won't be stepping back in the ring in the near future, although I'd love to see an in ring return once he's healed. I personally would like this commentary gig to segue into a future in-ring program, such as trying to save some hapless face from a beatdown or fighting off some belligerent heel antagonizing the announcers. WWE should figure out some kind of schedule on balancing his wrestling and announcing duties, perhaps, keeping him strictly on NXT or something. It also seems weird that they're only putting him on commentary now, but they never did when they had any other opportunity to do so, such as Saturday Morning Slam when half the roster were being rotated on commentary. It sounds weird coming from me, but Alex Riley sucks. And the sad part is that it's not even really his fault. I feel as if Riley's limitations and inadequacies, both in the ring AND on commentary seem to stem from WWE's inability to fully utilize him and let him gain the experience he needed to get better. t's a big catch-22. They barely let him wrestle, and now have seemingly banished him to commentary, but not wrestling kind of limits him as a commentator. I just think that if they allow him to live out his in-ring career, it will make him a better announcer in the future. |

It just looks so weak to me because of that. |

I like the fact that Charlotte is setting the bar higher for herself with these sorta complicated maneuvers with the tricky timing. It will probably make her a better wrestler in the long run after she has more experience using them in the ring. And honestly she has some huge shoes to fill if she wants to make it in tha biz, so good luck to her.
