That Mandy Rose Vignette though... She has got to be the absolute sexiest diva of all time

I mean... they still have a good match here and there, but it's mostly minor league quality stuff on NXT - which is so depressing because it use to be the best pro rasslin show on tv.

Btw, building around Mandy Rose... what a joke. No doubt she's hot, but she's not at all interesting. She's the most bland personality on tv. While she's not a bad wrestler, there's nothing impressive in what she does, and she's a big step down from many of the people who were recently there - not to mention some that are still there.

I like what Mandy's done as NXT champ and she's not even one of the female wrestlers I'm most attracted to, still it's a reminder that once the 4HW retire, if the womens division goes cold for like a year it wouldn't be surprising if they gutted the whole thing and go back to whoever they feel is the most marketable aesthetically, it seems like every NXT commercial is built around a Mandy shot while saying "It's Like That".

I mean Mandy is a good wrestler. Probably better than any main event lady they had during the lul they had after the Trish/Lita/Malina/Micky days. Her v trigger looks great but she's not a great talker. And to have her lead a faction is ..... Meh GG and JJ have real potential ! . They need to move up io, Gonzalez , and a couple of others. They are ready. Let Mandy be in NXT for a while and be done with it.

I feel bad for Io and Gonzales - they're really wasted there.

If trick can hang in the ring ,At 27 this somewhat young these days for a wrestler. Tell me why he can't be the next booker T. He's has so much charisma and talking skills. He seems athletic as ****. Yeah melo is great and I see a lot of y2j and a little Ziggler in him. But man if trick can get up to speed in the ring. . . By God he has multi time champ written all over him.

All of the top stars are being wasted. I never thought I'd hate NXT, but I'm close. NXT going back to one hour featuring up and coming indie wrestlers will be one of the best things to happen with pro wrestling.

Honestly I think the WWE should buy or make a deal with ROH and / or impact. That can be the WWE Indy product and that can be the link to the indies while NXT does developmental. Honestly. I've been enjoying NXT.

I also thing chaimpa and Dunn showing up on NXT again is more so the new open door to main thing. I heard a bunch of NXT people were at smack down last night.

Sometimes silence is the best thing you can contribute to a conversation

after what he did to Moses Moody's name, I got DJ K. Perk in a Verzuz battle against ANYBODY

Both can be big assets to the main roster tag division. Io should be Asuka's tag partner. Gonzalez would fit perfect as Sonya's muscle/partner. 2 new legitimate tag teams right there.

I can't wait for the triple threat tonight. I kind of hope they put that tittle on Dolph give Bron something to over come.

That latter match at stand and deliver is gonna be amazing.

It is really smart to give Bron a chase with a vet heal. Chaimpa was a face at the time. It's a new challenge for him.
