Neither one of them is imposing and both look like amateur or indy guys in juxtapose to the rest of the main roster. All i see them doing on Raw/Smackdown is using their horrid finisher in squash matches against the two bottom feeding tag teams. They better be repackaged or they are doomed to failHunternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-85329712985370227012014-10-25T11:46:55.622-06:002014-10-25T11:46:55.622-06:00Or a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man...Or a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man suddenly pops up in the NXT Arena with a baseball bat in one of its armsBuster Abbottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-12502025319211660602014-10-25T06:36:25.567-06:002014-10-25T06:36:25.567-06:00Good to hear.

(Just ord...I'm an NXT fan boy, I freely admit. (Just ordered my official Vaudevillains t-shirt today...)<br /><br />...but I thought this was a bad show (Vaudevillains victory aside.)<br /><br />I liked the #1 Contender Tyler Breeze. Conceited heel who can actually win matches--that's Rick Rude territory there. This seems like they're purposefully pouring water on him...having him wait around to feud with Mojo "Hyped but Heatless" Rawley...<br /><br />I liked The Ascension better when they simply crushed everyone put in front of them. Watching them destroy Itami (again) for no reason (other than implied racism) doesn't entertain me...nor does it make me hungry for Itami to get his revenge. Worse...it makes The Ascension fairly heatless before their expected addition to the main roster. (Hopefully, they won't do the same thing to Neville if he's also making the move to the main roster...)<br /><br />I like Bayley...and she can absorb a loss better than many on the NXT roster...but I hope they're not building up to an eventual "Bayley's got to learn to be a mean bitch in order to survive" turn (which is what they're doing to the "barely had a sip of coffee" Becky Lynch. There should be room for simple, pure, joy, too...(and "Bayley's gonna hug you" is the best chant in the world. Don't lose that!)<br /><br />...if they move Charlotte to Raw (eventually), then expect to see Sasha Banks vs Alexa Bliss sooner than later. At least they're about the same size.<br /><br />Titus O'Neal is bad. Whoever was interviewing him, pre-match, was corpsing pretty bad. SEND FOR THE MAN!<br /><br />And I thought Neville looked weak against O'Neal. Maybe showing him vulnerable was the idea...maybe it is all the proof that Kevin Dunn needs to know that Neville won't work against the main Raw roster...<br /><br />And it was a curious decision to have Sami Zayn face Neville to his right--putting his black eye on display (not quite as bad as Hogan at WM9). It actually looked like he was wearing heavy mascara (could he and Tyler Breeze tag team in the future? No...)<br /><br />BUT...I think the commentary was particularly bad this week. Riley was too much the heel commentator...and Albert was too much the gushing face commentator. They did that fatal mistake of trying to make the conflict between the two of them more important than what was happening in the ring. (I, generally, like Riley on Raw post-show and PPV pre-shows...but here, he laid the heel schtick on too thick. And Albert...is...not good.)<br /><br />Then again, it was over in an hour...so, I can't be too mad.Peter Greyyhttp://www.seattlecomedy.net/petergreyy.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-65732988931590385552014-10-24T17:31:06.241-06:002014-10-24T17:31:06.241-06:00BOOOOOBS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT BECKY LYNCH BOO...BOOOOOBS THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT BECKY LYNCH BOOOOOOOOOOBS.Virgil's Gimmick Tablenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-90318091261264189112014-10-24T16:26:57.086-06:002014-10-24T16:26:57.086-06:00BOOO BECKY LYNCH BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!BOOO BECKY LYNCH BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!Biscuit!http://twitter.com/amntnnoreply@blogger.com
