[Spider2024]

That ring just got 200% more honorable. (And a little bit fishy. )

Anyone else want to see Dream get his ass beat after messing with Black like that?

Look closely at Black's shoulder and you see VD's hair as he jumps into place.

Dear God thank you for keeping track of these stats. I don't know how you do it dude. Especially the woman's battle Royale that looked like a handful to do

[Steveweiser]

Sorry, was busy with other things last night, and I thought someone else would post it.

Surprised to see Danny and Oney lose, but Riddick and Tino did need a win at some point to build them up as more than just JTTS.

Disappointed at how easily and quickly Dakota Kai was eliminated, she wasn't even in the focus of the shot when she went out. Some of the outsiders (Candice and Mercedes in particular) got more shine than many who are signed. Bianca came up big here, enjoyed the spot where Billie pulled her hair to avoid being eliminated, leading to her getting a whippin'. Nikki Cross got super over, and I think she'll win the title.

Enjoyed the reveal of ol' Patrick as he pounced on Black. That feud is bubbling up quite nicely.

Decent main with Almas and Strong. What a great rana by Zelina to set up the finish. Almas/Drew should be fun, and let's see what happens with Strong and Undisputed Era...

[Allie Kitsune]

Ol' Tino seems to be Full Sail's next Elias, getting "YOU STILL SUCK" chants after every damn thing he did.

Which probably means he’ll be beloved when he gets to the main roster.

(Cool finisher, though, with the Gory Special/facebuster combination)

Thanks. It's not that difficult. I didn't even have to watch the match. I just needed to know the participants and when they last competed.

Yeah, I’M the one that has to watch the whole match because I just have to score the eliminations like a damn sucker.

[The Legendary Ring Troll {BLM}]

Oney and Burch should be great together and I can’t wait to see what they do in the Dusty Classic. Tino and Moss definitely needed the win and looked good doing it.

Nikki Cross dominated that battle royal like nothing I’ve ever seen. It seemed like she eliminated almost everybody. BelAir is my favorite new women’s wrestler. She’s amazing and I love everything about her. It seemed like they were setting up some feuds (shit I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve seen a battle royal create feuds) with the Nikki Cross/Conti and Mercedes/BelAir stuff, so I hope that’s a good indication that Martinez will be signed. Was sad to see Jazzy was MIA.

Black has star written all over him, and I say that as someone who hasn't really been impressed by him much. His entrance is boss, his look is great and he just has a presence. Dream’s attack out of nowhere was amazing! I love was he’s done with this character and he’s almost made me forget he was Patrick Clark on Tough Enough. Dude should have won, hands down. I love this feud.

Strong still does nothing for me. Almas is great though, and Vega’s only made him better. I love everything about them. f*** Cole vs. D Mac, I want Almas to get the title. Cole can get it later from Roddy once he finally beats Almas for the title. But Almas is the man to go with now, he’s turned it around and become one of the best things on NXT.

Roddy in The Undisputed Era? Meh. I never followed Ring of Honor, what’s Roddy’s connection to any of these three besides having been in RoH with them?

The only real connection is ROH he and Cole were in a PWG stable together though

[cuppacoffee - slight return]

Nikki was booked like a monster. She was so strong early on, I felt sure a heel - either Bianca or Billie - was going to win with shenanigans.
Really not sure who’s going to end up with the belt, though.

I’m beginning to like Bianca Belair as a heel (eg I hate her for the “right reasons”). She looked super impressive at times. The hair gimmick is still utterly stupid. Can’t belive how over it is.

Nigel trying to get Percy to explain what he means by the “-EST of NXT” was kinda dumb. It’s not the first time Bianca’s been on the show or the first time that nickname has been used by the Commentary team. Makes Nigel look stupid, like he wasn’t paying attention before. Made Percy look / sound even more awkward and tongue-tied than usual.

Tino and Moss have a real whiff of late 1990s WCW Powerplant Guys. Big, oily, somewhat “roidy-looking” fellas with no obvious charisma. How long has Tino been in NXT and not getting anywhere now? Maybe this win is supposed to be the start of a little push, but the crowd don’t seem into them.

The angle with Roddy and the Tiny Radicalz is just the same thing as Ty Dillinger and Sanity, isn’t it? Even if Roddy does end up joining the dark side, it’s a very similar set-up.
I guess they’re supposed to be heels leading him astray, because I guess Roddy’s supposed to be a face, but it looks like the crowd love them and want him to jump ship. Apart from a couple of run-ins / beatdowns, have they done/said anything especially heelish that I’ve missed?

Zelina is more over than Andrade, and that rana was scary fast. Is there a reason why she’s managing, not wrestling?
I guess Andrade does need a mouthpiece, though. His five seconds of mic time have not sold me on his English promo skills at all.
