Who also absolutely ADORES Emma's stomping with her hands on her waist before she crashes into her opponent in the corner?

NXT is such a great show, but one question: The Acension....why?

What were they calling Kruger's armbar? GZ3?

There's something about NXT that makes me happy from the inside whenever i watch it. Not sure what it is. just watched a sing-off on a pro wrestling show and i thoroughly enjoyed it. nxt, can you do no wrong? Yeah it's weird, things I often hate on the main roster are great on NXT, sing-offs, dance-offs, squash matches (to a degree), the divas division etc. Plus I tend to watch everything without heavy use of the fast-forward button, even when it comes to entrances, corporate videos and recaps. There's just something about NXT that makes everything better.

Good show this week, as usual. I was disappointed in Zayn/Kruger though. Having someone win 2/zip in a 2/3 falls match is a good idea, but it really took the drama out of the match. When Kruger was hitting big moves or using his armbar, the match was just going to be tied if he got a fall on Zayn, so I didn't really care.
NXT is a fun show regardless of match quality. It's when the great matches happen that it kicks into "holy shit this rules" overload.

He's one of the few strong heels on NXT besides Bo, Rusev, and Graves (who has disappeared), but he pretty much loses all the time. He did get a sympy win over Zayn a few weeks ago, but then was soundly thumped 2 straight falls in the rematch.

Damn you NXT, you actually made me entertained by a sing-off. I hate those...
EDIT: Nice submission hold, Sami Zayn.

I really hope they're not writing off Kruger's character. I remember when he used to be some sort of South African diplomat and he was the most boring man alive. I also really like the game hunter gimmick. But really this whole Zayn/Kruger feud always felt like a time killer more than anything.
I'm so happy they had Breeze go over Ryan. Although I was hoping we'd get to see some Breeze/Neville matches after he cost him the title match. But god damn did Ryan look dumb for going after LeFort like he did.
The sing off was a lot better than I expected it to be. NXT is so much better with these sort of skits since they actually seem to go somewhere. Also it's a good way to get English over as more of a heel to put him up against the BADA BOOM(!) realest guys in the room.

Its weird how Natty is a much better wrestler on NXT than she is on RAW or SD.
I guess they don't want her hurting the models on the main show.
