Anyone else catch Percy Watson on this week's Atlanta? I think it was him anyway. Imdb can't confirm.

TM61 vs Authors of Pain in Round 1? Maybe get AOP out of the way and then call the up to the main roster?

New NXT North American Championship title to be decided at TakeOver New Orleans in a ladder match. Velveteen Dream, Adam Cole, Lars Sullivan, EC3, Ricochet & Killain Dain.

North American Championship sounds weird to me

Has this championship been given significance beyond "we need a mid card title?"

Wow I'm surprised TM61 are out in Round 1. I honestly thought they were winning the whole thing. Who is winning now? I guess Sanity because they have unfinished business with TUE? Kind of meh compared to trying to take a newer team to the next level

Dudes chanting for Ciampa makes me sad. He and Gargano are busting their ass for this angle and these goofballs have to smark it up. Ciampa in particular is being an awesome heel. If you want to show your appreciation, boo him. Just play along for once in your lives. Stop being so miserable.

The whole opening segments was amazing though.

Strong and Dunne vs. Lorcan and Burch was a beautiful bit of wrestling. I feel bad for Burch and Lorcan. They're so obviously talented, but I don't see how they fit on the main roster. I hope i'm wrong.

Lorcan is probably my favorite hand in NXT

Yeah Full sail has become very try-hardy smarks in recent years. I'm getting sick of them to be honest also. Like i understand going against the grain if a program is bad and they give you no reason to boo/cheer either way, but with this program, honestly there isn't much, if anything at all to fault.

Up until this week, all Ciampa has gotten is booed. Did something change? I haven't watched tonight's episode yet.

EC3 looked like a star in his debut promo

I love how he plays off the crowd. I hate his theme music though. It's just too gimmicky.

He's like a roided version of Miz. I'd like to see them try to out-promo each other.

Soooo Undisputed Era vs British Strong Style, eh?

Hot take: Ricochet is gonna flop. You can make it in NXT on just in ring skill, but he'll be like Apollo Crews once he gets to the main roster.

Ricochet is a hell of a lot better than Crews, though. He's also a much, much, much bigger name. Crews sure as hell wasn't getting a pop like that when he debuted.

I think that, at worst, he's Neville again, and Neville was a solid lower/mid card guy and a very good Cruiserweight champ.
