NXT Viewing Thread

Legit how many kidnappings have their been in NXT 2.0?

There’s been like 12.

So apparently Barthel & Walter are expected to potentially be called up, but not Aichner.

Someone explain this to me? Aichner & Barthel are a really good tag team and Aichner has improved immensely since he first started in NXT years ago.

That’s unfortunate for him. Also are they teaming Walter & Barthel? That’s odd too.

But it’s Vince, so I’m not shocked.

They're rapidly building another Uso.

This whole time I thought there was just Mary Kate & Ashley. Then out of nowhere there’s a 3rd we had no idea. The most talented one of the bunch.

I’m waiting for this dude to find his inner Elizabeth Olsen

This was his Martha, Marcy, May, Marlene?

Elizabeth Olsen was topless in that.

I’m like Mr. Skin, haha

Just watched the Nattie/Cora segment. Nattie does nothing on the main roster, so might as well have her work with young girls in NXT. I dig that.

Cora marking out for Nattie was funny though. Cora was 11 when Nattie had her farting gimmick, haha.

If they're dead set on changing names, it at least makes sense to do it now while they're in NXT and not really established yet.

I see the former Rok-C showed up on NXT proper tonight.

Good for her.

If I may quote the great philosopher John Stamos and say “HAVE MERCY!!”

So i decided to watch NXT last night for the first time in ages. I don't watch much of 2.0 anymore because it's just not my bag. The crowd is insufferable and tries to pop themselves more than the actual in ring work. And when they do pop for ring work, it's so hokey and looks ridiculous. I digress on that. I should also point out I skip all the videos/vignettes, I simply don't care.

Opening 3 way was very good. Hayes is solid, Grimes rules and Sakoa more than held his own. I hope he's allowed to be his own character instead of just another Uso, he has the talent for it. Right guy won.

Waller vs Frazer I thought was another solid match. Happy for Ben Carter getting his shot, but I hope he's not just a Chase U (who are babyfaces?) follower from here. Good that he got a W in his NXT 2.0 debut. Hoping for good things for him, but if he struggles in the slightest, I fear Vince loses interest. Being a Rollins guy gives me hope though.

Nattie deserves a medal for keeping that tag match steady for the most part. Lash Legend is terrible in the ring. She has the look, but she's so insanely green. Nikkita is fine, but is very "I need to be in my spot here and there, etc" there's no fluidity or relaxness to her at all. She looks like a $1,000,000 though. Cora continues to improve as well.

Creeds/Raiders started very clunky, but turned into a really fun match. Not sure how much longer the Raiders will be around, but they made the young Creeds look great. It looks like they're going to split the Creeds from Roddy eventually, which will leave Roddy with virtually nothing. He should ask for his release...oh wait...

Main event was fine. I don't care about this Gacy gimmick with druids now. It's ridiculous. Lil Steiner should be doing something much more important.

Overall I really liked 3 of the 5 matches. But I won't go out of my way to tune in next week. I'll stick to just checking out the "specials" whenever they pop up. Seems like I don't miss much going that route.

Was there an official reason why he was fired?

JD McDonagh coming to NXT!
