NXT Thread II

These Aleister Black squash matches have been perfect.

The NXT main event scene is looking really good. Roode, McIntyre, Black, Ohno are all top level with guys like Itami, Strong and EY able to step in when needed.

Bate/Gallagher was amazing. They told a story and performed their asses off.

Glad to hear during the commentary that there will be a UK weekly show being added to the network soon. Guys like Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne need to be on tv. They're money!

Man, no reason that Almas/McIntyre match was that short. They should have given those guys ten minutes and let them put on a show. I feel kind of bad for Almas. The dude is insanely talented, but he's always losing.

Also, Black's entrance is phenomenal.

Yea I didn't understand why so short? Those 2 can work. Almas is basically a rich man's jobber at this point. He always loses but he's over and puts on good matches. They need to have him go up against some actual jobbers and beat them up.

That's an important element that wrestlings missing is the old school jobbers. You need them to give regulars some easy wins. That's how RAW started to establish Strowman as a singles wrestler and it paid dividends. When you feel that every match had to be name brand vs name brand, some good talent is going to be lost in the shuffle. Almas needs to be given a few of those and beat them handily.

Considering there's no competition for WWE anymore there's no reason they can't feature 1 squash a week.

As of today, Asuka has been NXT Women's Champion for 400 days. That's pretty damn crazy

Why are they having the UK Championship defended at Takeover Chicago? Get them on their own damn show

To get it more exposure and make it feel bigger.

Plus, they are getting their own monthly show that should be starting in June (I think).

They already filmed the first few episodes of the UK show.

Really hope Dunne wins. Dude is money.

There is a money making feud to be had between Dunne and Bate. WWE just needs to put their machine behind them and promote the hell out of it. Both guys are so good and so young and so different from anything else WWE has. I really hope WWE doesn't squander the chance to make those 2 guys stars.

WWE has a rich history of squandering chances to make guys stars. :lol:

Speaking of the UK shows, Jim Ross announced that he'll be teaming with Nigel McGuinness to announce the shows.

If only we could get Ross/Graves to do both Raw and Smackdown.

If Cole shows up at NXT Takeover: Chicago I might actually poop in my pantaloons. THAT guy, debuting in front of THAT city?

I hope he has an actual debut or promo, not just an appearance in the crowd.
