I don't get that feeling at all. It just seems like the audience is playing along with the angle.

That's a weird way to play along, singing Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye as he leaves the ring. Playing along, to me, would be encouraging the good guy babyface as he clearly struggles to figure out this difficult part of his career.

Pete Dunne vs Ricochet from this week's NXT was one of the best NXT TV matches ever

saw the month spoilers. They should have damn well held off on Gargano vs Ciampa if they were going to rush it. They're going to make the feud cold. In saying that I am a fan of a potential title feud (and If Gargano costs Ciampa the title it would be gold).

also someone get Ricochet a manager please.

Even if it wasn't a great match (you're right, it was), it would have been special simply as a change of pace. They let Dunne do 15 minutes of joint manipulation and it worked! So fun.

Any match with Ricochet and Pete Dunne in it is a must watch for me.

I don't think I've ever seen either guy put on a bad match.

I just saw the segment and wow...I knew she was gorgeous but damn... She was cute as hell and just.... Wow.
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

To be fair, the belt was speaking to Ciampa earlier. We can't rule out that the belt can, in fact, talk.

It's NXT, not the main roster. They figure out ways to make things work. They'll take some stupid premise and turn it into the greatest feud of all-time somehow. :lol:

Man, NXT's belts all look so much better than the main roster belts. They look like actual professional fight belts instead of cheap toys.
