August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693739 I don't hate Dillinger but I wanted to see Uhaa doing cool shit, not laying on the mat selling.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693741 Dillinger's character feels like a reach: it's a crowd that will get anything over, but "10" is a bit lazy. Why wouldn't you go to 11? Short and some definite dead spots, but solidly executed for a debut. Lots of "Uhaa" chants early, and crowd loved his combo finisher, but the screens were turned off for the match until the replays. Also had no idea he's from Stone Mountain, GA. Bring in Jake as his manager! Nothing could possibly go awry. The Dusty Classic is awesome as a 2015 Crockett Cup, and Regal is the best authority figure they've ever had.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693743 Corbin's new gimmick tonight is like when they threw Jungle Jim Steele to the Lions in the ECW arena
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693746 Joe isn't getting a loud pop. Parties.. what's up with the boos?
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693748 Corbin as the hater of indie wrestling is the perfect NXT heel gimmick.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693749 Joe isn't getting a loud pop. Parties.. what's up with the boos? That sounded like a pretty good pop to me.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693750 Compared to Blue Pants it was like Zach Ryder came out to the ring. Although to be fair Liger got a worse reaction than Blue Pants
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693752 Man, it's so disappointing that Joe never got to work on the main stage when he was in his prime.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693754 That was definitely a match to put Corbin over more than Samoa Joe. He put on a very good performance given he hasn't looked good in long matches before
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693755 Samoa Joe vs. Byron Corbin - Joe looked solid but that dropkick missed by a mile. - Corbin on offense sucks. - For two guys who are heavy hitters, this was best when they were doing submissions on the mat. - The strike exchange was no better or worse than a typical NJ strike exchange… except for Joe’s spinning back fist. That was sweet. - A few flubs and dead spots but this was solid. I want to see a match between Cena and Joe to see if Cena can get Joe to raise his game.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693756 Smooth chain wrestling and power offense from Bull Dempsey. Hadn't seen him work in a while and he looked good. Was totally unfamiliar with Elias Sampson: is he working a gimmick of the ABC hit series "Nashville"? Bull struck me as a very likable baby face who got a solid if not stellar reaction in his hometown. He will become a really good worker, but I wonder if his low height and body will keep him from doing much on the main roster. He's shorter than I realized and in a different time and place could have been like, Pequeno Jerry Blackwell. I did commentary and ring announcing for some of the Pittsburgh area indies that Elias Sampson worked before getting signed. He worked the WV/PA/OH area as "Heavy Metal Jesus" Logan Shulo for several years.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693757 Joe is frustrating. There were flashes in that match where you get excited because it looks like he's about to ramp up to that next level and he just never does.
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693758 Every match so far in 2-3 star range, apart from the one with the Crews which is more like *
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693763 NXT gained such momentum from being a simple, well booked product and now it's selling out 16,000 seater arenas. I wonder if that'll trickle down to the main shows. Book it well and they will come?
August 23, 201510 yr comment_5693765 Cop out, not really the main event. Yes. It is. It's one of the biggest programs and one of the most anticipated matches on the card.
