Yeah reading that made me wonder with CM Punk now officially gone if he'll be using the GTS in the WWE.

yeah i know there was talk about this on the board earlier, I personally think its too soon to go giving away Punk's finisher even though it was KENTA's first.

If they ever want that disconnect from Punk they don't need to remind everybody of him by using his move when it isn't that far removed from TV. KENTA has made the adjustment with moves before, he even responded to his moves being taken in the WWE by taking some WWE moves for himself (YES lock and Orton's punt kick). So KENTA understands the game and will come up with something else innovative to use.

There are at least 1,004 wrestling holds. I'm sure KENTA can figure out an effective move set without using the GTS.

I don't think the GTS is that great anyway. Especially in WWE where it's impossible to use it on some guys, and awkward looking on others. I think it's considered a good move because we associate it with Punk, who we like a lot. It's not the kind of move that will help get someone over.

Besides, I think Kenta's version looks different than Punks. If he wanted to use it, it wouldn't appear like he's straight ripping him off.

i've always loved the GTS, instantly made me a fan first time i saw it. thought Punk using it in WWE was just icing on the cake. I'd argue that Punk needed the move more than the move needed the CM Punk association if that makes sense. The first time I saw KENTA do it, it was used as a setup to the flying knee. I remember thinking the damn knee should be the setup instead of the finish. It's always looked so devastating to me when he did it, the inverted version looks pretty good too.

I'm holding out hope for KENTA to use the flying double stomp myself.

Enzo is the best way to open a show. I love his new theme, but I think his old one works better. Distraction finishes should be banned in NXT

Spoiler:

The fact that Regal relates with CJ Parker's gimmick is not a good thing. Should of been a hybrid hipster gimmick. I think this is NXT's best announce team. I think I've said that before. CJ Parker sold weapons to Iran. Awhhh, Awhhh Awhhh.

Bliss is pretty confident sounding on the mic. Pretty decent strikes too, for someone so green. Sasha is capable of carrying matches on Raw right now methinks.

Eden says Illinois like Steve Austin. NXT Adam Rose is actually a pleasant experience.

I'm enjoying Tyson's heel work. He's clearly more comfortable in the role.

That Enzo interview is so damn good. His battle rap style promos are the best **** ever.

who's the next champ?

Zayn, Breeze, Kidd, or Kenta?

I think they actually go with Breeze. I could then see Kenta taking the strap from him in the not-too-distant future.

was thinking the same but wondered if Kenta would take it from Neville just because it would be a better look to the incoming Japanese fans on The Network if he dethrones someone they're familiar with.

Any announcements or rumors of another PPVesque show coming soon for NXT?
