NXT Thread II

The idea of making The Bollywood Boyz a heel tag team on NXT is great IMO. Their gimmick was never going to get them over as faces but as heels they can get really obnoxious with it.

I LOVE Heavy Machinery. They might be my favorite thing about NXT right now. Really hope they build those guys up as one of the top tag teams.

Heavy Machinery is a blast

They're very much a throwback to the old big man tag teams. I love their tag moves, and the dudes can move for such big guys.

Buddy Murphy was the star of that team anyway. Where's that dude been?

Not even my style of music but it's perfect for him. I think the people in charge of that stuff at WWE sometimes don't put enough thought into just how much theme music ties into a character's ability to get over. An entrance theme is the first thing the fans are able to latch onto with a character. The truly great themes fit the characters and become synonymous with that character. They've done a great job of it in NXT though so hopefully they continue to build on that going forward.

That's one area WWE has excelled in since the late 80s. Wcw always had generic rock video game menu theme songs, so much that I could only name maybe a handful of guys' music if I heard it now. Certain guys are partially legendary because of their music.

New NXT theme that I must say I enjoy much more than the old one.

Watch on YouTube

That Black Mass Kick from Tommy End looks really great, especially tonight on NXT.

Wow Drew's new theme is awful

The match with Lorcan was awesome though. Drew looks great

I don't hate his new theme but it certainly isn't as good as his first. The match was very good, Drew's running rocket kick looks pretty brutal. I like it.

About the theme that was a filler theme for Strong when he first debuted as well...well minus the bag pipes, so I wouldn't be so sure that's the theme that sticks with Drew...wasn't his original theme an actual song by a band?

What a great show tonight! Everything felt fresh and new. Black is going to be huge in NXT! I really like Ruby Riot!

Lorcan has turned himself into a nice mechanic in NXT. He's like the new Tyler Breeze. You can trust him to go out there and have a solid match with just about anyone given the proper amount of time. His match last week on 205 Live (I think it was against Swann) was quality.

usually, Cesaro has one of the worst themes in the company, it's bad and totally at odds with the character. They need to change it for something more along the lines of the Macho Man's, maybe even a hint of a bond theme, playing him off as a classy, maybe slightly big headed european.

anything other than that stupid choppy rock music.

Cesaro and Rollins have the worst music in the company. Just awful.

At least Cesaro's is cut short by Sheamus' awesome theme right now.
