Reply With QuoteFinally the debut of Bray Wyatt, this guy reminds me alot of a Jake the Snake, not the way he wrestles but the way he thinks in the ring, the guy is no cookie cutter wrestler and hopefully after his injury he will be really big

This week was for sure an improvement on the previous week, more NXT debuts for Paige (19 year old English Diva) facing Sofia Cortez, which is strange as in FCW they are team mates as Anti Divias, I'm a big fan of Paige but I think she needs more time until she is promoted to the main roster. This match was followed by Seth Rollins against Camacho, considering that Camacho rarely wrestles he looks impressive and strong, and gave Rollins a good contest and showing Rollins on the back foot, but the blackout is an impressive finisher and looked better than the previous one against Jiro. Next was the NXT debut of Cory Graves and Jake Carter (Big Van Vader's thin son) there were an ok team, just need to see more of them,as they didn't blow me away. Next was the NXT debut of Kassius Ohno (chris Hero) and he's certain not the same as everyone else (I bet shockage will have to agree with that), the guy is quality. Jindar and Derek Bateman was next (press fast forward to avoid the snooze). the main event was the six man tag team, Bo Dallas, Seth Rollins and Tyson Kidd taking on Michael McGillicutty, Hunico and Camacho, another good main event for NXT, and another great showing for Tyson Kidd everyone shined in this match.
There is one thing I got to question is the editting, its seems like the commentators keep changing, and it sounded like they made the six man tag team match because of what happened in the past with Seth Rollins and Camacho instead of the same show, weather it was bad editting or something I dont know, hopefully its just early bugs that need to be sorted

I really enjoyed the final of NXT gold rush tournament, they made it special with the fink doing the ring annoucing and have Dusty Rhodes there as well as the rest of the NXT roster at the top of the ramp watching the match. This match was probably the best I've seen jinder Mahel, but this was a showcase match for Seth Rollins, and boy did he show his talent.

I thought it was another great show this week, mainly dominated by the Steamboat/Ohno feud, attacking each other at the begining of the show and during each others matches. The main event was really good and certainly a clash of styles where Ascension faced Kidd/Gabriel, power vs speed which is always a good combination, both team showed whats makes them good, which made a great main event. I still beleive that the Americans still cant watch NXT on their TV and therefore they are truly missing out of a great show with young hungry wrestlers which could put some of the guys on the main roster to shame.

I wasn't at all impressed with Roman Reigns (Wild Samoan Sika's son), and I loathe the Uso's Disney-fied ring gear.

wow this week show was special, Big E langston defeating Seth Rollins in a no dq match, plenty of interference from the sheild until the NXt locker room all got the Sheild away from the ring, to make it a 1 vs 1 match. Still strange to see Big E a face here in NXT and a heel on Smackdown on the same week, I guess thats what you get when you pre tape your shows.
For anyone who hasn't seen NXT you should check out the crowd response for Paige, she probably gets a bigger pop than any WWE divia at the present moment (excluding AJ), the anti divia won against the Aussie newcomer Emma who was trained by Lance Storm on the reality show "world of Hurt".
The other matches involved new tag team, on Wyatt Family which is a throwback tag team, of two big rough no nonsence guys they look kinda impressive but give them more time and they could be something different.The other team is Bo Dallas & Mr Prefect jr, a great combination of youth and experience, if they stay as a unit they could have some amazing matches but only time will tell

I think we have just found the next big thing in the form of Adrian Neville, aka PAC, the guy was simply so smooth and explosive in the ring, I should think we should forget about SIn Cara because if is the guy that should replace Rey Mysterio. Now with the pre recorded NXT show you are going to have strange happening, as in Trent Barreta was wrestling on this week show even we all know that he had his contract ended a couple of weeks ago, and Tyson Kidd was in the main event even though he's currently injured for 6-12 months

They just aired this episode in India. As always, I enjoyed it more than SmackDown.Originally Posted by chaoskid
Big E Langston is over as hell amongst the NXT crowd. The crowd goes insane as soon as his theme starts playing. With rumors circulating about the Langston-Ziggler split, sky's the limit for Big E in the WWE. Luke Harper is really impressive in the ring for his size. The Wyatt family concept is really original. Whoever changed Husky Harris' character into Bray Wyatt is a genius in my opinion.
Have been a fan of Paige ever since I saw her documentary. She's the next generation of divas. In all, I really feel bad for wrestling fans who don't watch NXT. It's better than Raw and Smackdown and obviously better than most of TNA's PPVs. Can't wait to see finally see PAC in action. Have heard a lot about him, but have never seen him wrestle.

I'm still unsure of Big E, maybe more time with Dolph Ziggler might acctually help him in the long run
Show Opener
I don't know. I'm just bored already with the whole Langston just standing around and helping Dolph and AJ thing. It's a story that's been done 28 trillion times. I don't really see how Dolph could help him. To me, Dolph Ziggler is midcard at best. He has good wrestling talent, but, man are his promos boring. I just think WWE needs to try something differeent with Langston. I see some talent with Langston, and I don't want him to just become another lost talent.
The Duck
I see him in the same role as HBK was with Kevin Nash, maybe he can help Big E maybe not only in ring stuff, but outside of the ring as well
Show Opener
I don't know, I think if Langston really wants to get better outside the ring, I think he'd need someone like Cena or Orton to help him. I haven't seen Langston do any promos, so, I can't say anything about his promo talent, but, I think he might to good with Cenas kind of engergy you know? I think Cena can help him with promos, and Orton could help him with telling a story in the ring. I haven't seen any of his promos, but, I just think it'd go something along the way of him just looking at the audience and pointing at whoever and saying something like, "You think you can beat me? I'm Big E Langston!" Nothing special, bland cahrisma, etc. I could be wrong, but, he just seems like he'd have that type of energy at this point. I will say though, I think for right now he works well with Dolph because their gimmicks work well together. Langston is a tough looking guy, Dolph is a cocky guy, AJ is.......AJ. I just don't see Dolph being able to help him much.
The Duck
Weather you see it or not Dolph has alot of experience in WWE and that includes the travel aspect of the business which i seriously doubt that Big E is used to, so for someone like Dolph to show him about the real aspect of the business. Remember Diesel didn't do much at the begining but stand there and interfere, give them time and we will see
Show Opener
Yeah, he does have alot of experience, i'll agree with that. I don't know how much (wasn't he first part of it in 2007?) though for sure. We know it's not this much time, but, even if he did start coming around in 2010, he could still help with the travel thing. I definitely wouldn't take away that Dolph can help Langston get used to being in the WWE, but, I just don't see him really helping him with the wrestling and promo part. I could be wrong though, you're right, Diesel was just a tough looking dude for awhile, and now he's one of the biggest names in WWE history. I am curious to see what Langston can do though. He's a big dude, but, he seems like he can move real well for someone his size. For some reason, I could see him having Kurt Angles athleticism.

Well this week there is a special appearance from Shawn Michaels, and he there to annouce that there will be a NXT tag team tournament starting this week. Good solid performance by the Wyatt family, two big rough guys, like i said before a throwback wrestling team, then something special a new tag team from England Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey, Oliver is a steady judo expect and seems tough enough, but Adrian Neville is a different class, and should be competing on the main roster, he that dam good, they looked really good defeating 3MB.
The Duck
So its the NXT tag team tournament Final with the Large Wyatt Family against the British duo of Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey, this was a decent match of contrasting styles, the larger Wyatt family using brawling tactics against the more agile British duo a classic meeting of Speed vs Strength, however the end of the day Adrian Neville is the difference maker, this guy is really special, the combination of strength, speed and ariel moves helped him and his partner to capture the first ever NXT tag team title.
The other matches involve Cory Graves defeating A-ry by submission, I like Cory Graves he stands out and has plenty of experience competiting as Steerling Keenan on the indy curcuit. Finally Summer Rae getting a surprising victory over Paige who seems to be suffering with a shoulder injury.
