haven't had a chance to catch up. Are they still not showing that Amatuer Wrestling stable yet?

Nope. Would be good for those guys' careers. If they don't do it, Dillinger and Jordan may as well go hit the indies now.

Kevin Owens is the best heel. He's gotta be under Riley's skin in real life by now.

You know, that lineup looks to be just the right size for a season of Tough Enough.

Along those same lines, this "No Heroes Here: Three Days at a WWE Tryout" mini-doc is pretty awesome

Carmella's reaction to receiving flowers was great. She's got some (WWE) acting chops.

Dana (her main roster name) is not connecting with me immediately.

Dana Brooke.

First impression was not good for me. IMO, it seems like she's basically trying to pull off a mix of Michelle McCool and Beth Phoenix. If she had the wrestling ability or the charisma she would have pulled it off fine. Problem is I saw no wrestling ability and her heel work needs a lot of refining. The whole "look how good I look" thing only works if you actually have a personality to pull it off. She may have that, but she definitely didn't show it in her debut.

The character was easy to hate, but I thought he played his role well during his time in NXT.

I've read a few interviews with him since he left and I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb and say that this is far from the last we've heard of CJ Parker or whatever his real name is in WWE and otherwise. This guy gets it in a way that I'm guessing very, very few others in his situation probably do. He was explaining why he requested his release and a lot of it was seeing Balor, Itami, Neville, Zayn and Owens and recognizing how much better these guys were than him and that he wasn't going to catch up with them unless he got the same or similar experiences they did. I'm guessing there are very, very few guys down in NXT that have that type of self-awareness and I think that'll only serve him well going forward.

it would be good to see him pop up in the indies somewhere and build a following and give it one more shot. he's only 25 so he has time on his side if this is something he really REALLY wants to do.

Parker portrayed his character very well. It just wasn't a very notable character, at least not notable enough to make fans ignore his very average ring skills.

This is sick!!

They could go back to the Owens/Riley feud any time they want to and it will always entertain me.

This coming Wednesday is going to be huge. Can't wait. I love how these NXT specials all have the feel of the big 4 ppv's, every time out.

I am really looking forward to the debuts of Uhaa Nation and Samoa Joe in the coming weeks.

Uhaa is one of the most exciting indie wrestlers out there and will bring NXT a dimension they lost with Neville moving to the main roster. I am hoping WWE puts them together as a tag team in the future. The double team moves they could pull off together would be amazing. Double standing shooting star press?!?!?

Joe is an instant star in NXT and could have a great rivalry with Kevin Owens for the better part of the summer. Joe coming in also gives Sami Zayn the opportunity to move up to the main roster without losing a main event star.

Joe looks like he's in the best shape of his career

Its worth noting that a northeast Indy is promoting Joe for a show in August
