Grayson Waller was born in 1997 and no one can convince me otherwise. I think him and Tiffany dating on screen makes it even weirder in that they come off like the same age but in reality Grayson is nearly a decade older. At least he isn't Buddy Murphy in his early '30s kayfabe dating a 19-year-old. 😂

About time someone countered Grayson's stupid finisher.

I hate to say it because when this started, he was the first one that I thought would burn out, but Grayson is going to be damn good...The guy is picking it up...Once he drops the more "Dude Perfect" aspects he's going to be a fun one to watch.

Nah they've still been pretty goddamn bad. The issue is Lash is still really not good at all, and absolutely refuses to sell finishers. Which is completely disrespectful to the person who actually beat you. Also remember WWE's mandate of cutting people if they don't show significant potential/improvement. Which Lash has not done. The no selling of finishers is annoying and it does seem like they are giving her a longer rope then most. However the Roxanne match was fine and the Tatum match while not good I thought her leg work was ok. She didn't sell Roxanne's finish but Keanna and Tiffany didn't sell it either so I think it's more of a case where I guess it's supposed to be sold as more of a flash pin then an impact move. But you hate her and I know you refuse to any props to talents you obsessively hate so that's ok. I mean when you have the audience outright chanting that she can't wrestle, that's really, really not a good sign. I'm glad you support Lash, but she's just outright awful and I don't ever see her improving tbh.

Here are my NXT Thoughts:
Loved the recap of NXT In Your House with Todd Pettengill doing the voiceover. They should bring him back full time. Awesome opening segment with Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams, Solo Sikoa, & Grayson Waller. I thought that Cameron Grimes or Nathan Frazer would come out to make the save to set-up a match. I guess not. OK segment with Tony D’Angelo, Santos Escobar, & the rest. Interesting in seeing what happens next. Thankfully, Josh Briggs VS Von Wagner is over. As much as I don't like Wagner, I don't think Wagner's 8-match undefeated streak should have been ended by Briggs thanks to a cast. Another good promo by Solo Sikoa. Good segment with Chase University, Thea Hail, & Pretty Deadly to set-up a match later. Nathan Frazer VS Santos Escobar was an incredible match but it was ruined a little bit by Tony D’Angelo on commentary. The match was better on PIP when we couldn't hear D'Angelo. I did like Escobar not wanting to use the crowbar. OK promo by Xyon Quinn. I don't mind them doing a rubber match between him & Wes Lee next week. Alright promo by Bron Breakker. I was not expecting Apollo Crews to answer Breakker’s challenge. Interesting that he’s by himself and without Commander Azeez. But, who’s going to wrestle on Main Event now? Breakker VS Crews will be amazing. Only the few people that watch Main Event know how good of a wrestler Crews can be in WWE since he rarely gets to show it. Another crappy Joe Gacy promo but I do find it intriguing that his henchmen will be wrestling next week. Roxanne Perez VS Tiffany Stratton was an excellent match. Unlike other women in NXT that shall remain nameless, but her initials have 2 Ls in it, Tiffany has improved greatly since she debuted. Fun brawl & promo with Toxic Attraction, Perez, Cora Jade, & Indi Hartwell. Damn, who attacked Bodhi Hayward? I was looking forward to Chase University VS Pretty Deadly. Hope we don't get another Handicap Match since we have one later in the main event. I dozed off during Wendy Choo’s segment which I’m glad that I did as I saw what happened on Twitter. Andre Chase VS Pretty Deadly could have been better if it wasn’t a Handicap Match even with Thea Hail trying to make the save. OK segment with Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams & Tony D’Angelo & his family. They should have a great match in the future. Alba Fyre VS Tatum Paxley was good. I'm liking this character more and more as she has changed to Alba Fyre. And everything was ruined by Lash Legend. No one wants to see Fyre VS Legend. The only thing I want to see Legend on is the unemployment line. Wow. I was not expecting Malik Blade & Edris Enofe to be the 1st Challengers for The Creed Brothers. There are other tag teams more deserving. I like Roderick Strong still being mad at them. Apollo Crews & Solo Sikoa VS Carmelo Hayes & Grayson Waller was an incredible match that I didn't think I would be seeing when I woke up this morning. By the way, Vic Joseph was wrong. This wasn’t Crews’ 1st match in NXT since 2016. He returned to lose to Kushida on July 17, 2019. Ends an awesome NXT. Besides the Joe Gacy promo, Lash Legend appearance, & the Wendy Choo segment that I dozed off on, I enjoyed everything even Briggs VS Wagner since it was short. The main event was my favorite match of the night with Perez VS Stratton as #2.

I was just saying I don't think she has been as bad her last few matches. Chances are she'll probably never be good but in her last couple of outings I think there was glimmers of hope that she might figure it out. Again probably not but you never know.

You also have to remember that Lash is getting this push over women like Sarray. When in reality, Sarray should be a regular on TV, and Lash should really be relegated to Level Up or still in the PC. But instead, it seems to be the other way around for whatever reason. Because it seems like WWE still hasn't figured out that the audience chanting "you can't wrestle" isn't good heel work. It's an indictment of how poorly they trained her, or her inability to learn.

I mean I would say they value her more then Sarray but it's not like they've pushed Lash that much either. She probably loses more then she wins and while she gets feuds it's more to put the other person over. She lost the Nikkita feud and I assume she's going to lose to Alba also. As for the audience thing WWE has never given a crap about what the fans think. That's been obvious for years. If they like you they are going to push come hell or high water. Doesn't matter how bad you are or if the fans think you suck. Smark fans chanting "you can't wrestle" isn't going to change their mind.

Should probably be prepared to unlock the Releases thread. Bryan mentioned the other day that WWE just got done with their first set of "evaluations" and they are gonna be cutting people soon. Including some names people actually know.

Its rude to guess, but I think its unfortunately women like Sarray.

They released Dexter Lumis a week after he just main evented an episode of NXT going after the tag titles. Persia Pirotta and Harland were both released in the middle of an ongoing storyline. Let’s face it: No one is safe.
