But I really hope it stays on that level, heelish mannerisms, subtle digs and tweaks rather than a full-fledged heel turn.


Yeah im hoping for the same dunno if I can see Neville full heel mode and it be believable.

I keep envisioning the payoff for Sami coming by way of turnbuckle brainbuster for the win and the belt. I really want that to happen.

Nope. In fact, she gets busted open in the next NXT tapings. I doubt they'll show it, but got damn,

Yep, they had a match tonight. They're the number one contenders for the Lucha Dragon's tag title, and therefore De facto heels. Everyone loves them, but they just got new serious business music, so we've got to hate them for a little while longer.

Apparently Taker is working in NXT in "an advisory role."

I think this is likely a cover for him spending time in Florida at the Performance Center in preparation for his final match at Mania.

Well, ****, that certainly can't hurt.

Even if it doesn't drastically help the talent, us fans will be given a whole new generations worth of Undertaker stories.

he's only 20 so it'll be quite some time before he even sniffs anything close to an NXT contract but Trevor Lee is damn impressive in the ring with his work and selling and facial expressions. his look is so plain but its ideal for him and he gives me that Ambrose work vibe. if u get a chance to catch him do so.

Really hope he spends some time working with Corbin. Feel like that kid could be something special with the right guidance and attitude.

i really need them to pick a direction for that kid as well. something that makes sense and tells us something about him outside of "he's big and doing the Goldberg thing"

I think it would be kinda cool to have Corbin do a quasi-Goldberg type debut. Give him a jobber entrance against a mid-carder like Titus, although I think Titus is probably too minor, I guess the Miz. Give him that jobber entrance and he just destroys The Miz in like 45 seconds. And that's his jump start. Although thinking about it I'm not sure how well that would work because today's roster has nothing close to the depth of WCW's roster in 1997. WCW had a lot of guys that weren't anywhere near the top but had just enough credibility that it meant something to beat them. All the Dungeon of Doom guys like Meng, Barbarian, Hugh Morrus, Dave Taylor, William Regal (although that one didn't quite work out the way they hoped).

curious to see how they use Adam Scherr down in NXT and just how long they'll actually have him there in a live performance capacity before moving him up to the main roster.

i wouldn't mind it on the main roster is that's the direction they decide to take him but i wanna see depth on NXT. he's over and he's gonna be over with that sick finisher and his IT factorish aura but I wanna see how near or far to the complete package he is before making the transition to the main roster.
