NXT Thread III

They teased a Kyle O'Reilly split from the Undisputed Era on NXT this week. I'd like that. Undisputed Era would do just fine with 3 members. O'Reilly would shine as a singles star.

Cole (c) vs O'Reilly could headline the next takeover. Or you could do Undisputed Era vs O'Reilly and ???.

Yes, would be ok.
But i wouldn't split the whole faction.

Next main event between the four competitor will certainly be great!

I think the easiest way to kill all 4 members of UE is to break them up.

Regarding Kross' "flamboyant" entrance, I think it works despite me not really getting a full grasp of that character.

He's dark ala Black, loner like Corbin, and corporate at the same time, kinda like Brodie Lee without the cult following. He's like a cult on his own. Imagine a modern day Taker-Bearer pairing but not all mystical.

The moment Scarlett touched the LED and flames engulfed the Kross logo my jaw dropped because of the absurdity and yet I was amazed how they confidently and effectively carry the gimmick. I know they're too good and don't need this extra layer in their characters, but it really separates them from being another male-female, wrestler-mouthpiece pairing.

But there's no reason :crazy:

Scarlett is hot. Simple fix to the gimmick; the hot lady gets off on the violence Kross dishes out. It would be edgy but take a Stockholm syndrome type feel to it where Kross treats her like dirt a la The Joker and Harley Quinn. Make it uncomfortable but not cartoonish.

Is this the reason why they got Wade back?

How the **** do you manage to mess up potentially one of the greatest matches in NXT history?!
This is an insult to wrestling fans. A 60 minutes Ironman match and they book a non-finish...they should be ashamed.

Yea I kind of agree there. Those guys worked that match perfectly too. I was locked in the whole time. If they're gonna have a tie, atleast do sudden death OT on the spot like they did with Michaels/Hit man

I'd agree with you guys if it was on a PPV. For tv, it was a great match and a teaser to watch the next tv show. I think that's smart business, tbh.

Yeah agree, they're after views after all. Smart move business wise, but it kind of ruined the build up to that ending. Was really hoping they continued the match sudden death.

But daaaammmn, that was solid time management by Balor and Cole. Major props to the ref as well as Finn was a split second late to turn, the fast count was a bit obvious.

Anyone else got worried with Shotzi taking that nasty apron German to her neck and mostly legs and knees moonsault to her sternum? Looked nasty especially the suplex.

Damn good PPV so far, Gargano isn't capable of bad matches.

Santos Escobar is a stud. KO v Balor was really good. I am sports entertained.

I love how they're using NXT to bring back all these old PPV names. We got WarGames, then In Your House, and now Halloween Havoc. I really wish main roster WWE would start adding more variance to their B-PPVs instead of using the same tired names every year. Keep the Rumble, Mania, Summerslam, and Survivor Series and change the rest from year to year based on the booking.

Interest in the Takeover cards here has plummeted. Why?

I've mostly stopped watching wrestling, as the lack of crowds makes the shows less fun to watch.

Got home from the bars and decided to check out Halloween Havoc.

Pat McAfee is awesome. I really hope we get a WarGames match between Undisputed Era and McAfee, Lorcan, Burch, and Dunne.

Regardless, if McAfee decides to commit to wrestling he's the next megastar. He's got it.
