December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716173 It continues to amaze me that NXT is part of the same company who's main roster women's division is nothing more than "look at these crazy bitches". Seeing the crowd react to Bayley is so awesome and at the same time it makes me sad to think how she's likely to get her spirit crushed on the main roster.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716175 It's wild seeing Americans on Twitter loving these chants when everyone in the UK who has had to put up with them at football matches for a decade is sick of them

Seeing the crowd react to Bayley is so awesome and at the same time it makes me sad to think how she's likely to get her spirit crushed on the main roster. I actually wouldn't be surprised if in a few years as they keep looking for WWE Network programming if they end up spinning off an entire (for lack of a better name) NXT Women's show.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716178 It's wild seeing Americans on Twitter loving these chants when everyone in the UK who has had to put up with them at football matches for a decade is sick of them Lol, I can only imagine. I will say, though, I've always appreciated the creativity and wit of football chants.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716179 We have had to endure Seven Nation Army at every sporting event in the US, so we kind of feel you guys on that.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716180 Also now I believe it when the post WM Raw crowds get credited to the UK contingent.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716182 Jax is still kind of raw but it's easy to see why they like her too. Love the struggle over a single hold at the finish. Pretty decent big vs. little match.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716183 Bayley/Jax completely ruled with a result that I wasn't expecting. Jax is a total star; the way she carries herself and her aura is enough but she clearly knows enough about being a monster at such an early stage, knowing when to be knocked down, what offense to use etc. Bayley was great too, just bumping like a lunatic and making that choke look like all of her energy was being ploughed into it.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716188 The Great Irish Muta This entrance is fabulous pro wrestling nonsense at it's best.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716190 BALOR THE RIPPER! I'm thinking it's supposed to be Mr Hyde. Fits the whole good Fin and Demon Fin thing.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716194 LOVE that they worked that without Joe actually using the Muscle Buster. Puts over it's doomsday move status and saves it for later.
December 16, 20159 yr Author comment_5716195 Loved the main event too. I think the best Balor match I've seen
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716196 Not really a hell of a lot to complain about on this show. I would prefer Crews/Corbin to work a more old school fistfight kind of match, but I get that's just not how shit works anymore. Everything here was at the very least fine, lots of high end action.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716197 I don't get how they don't get how much better arenas look when they aren't lit up like a Christmas tree like on RAW and SD!. The excessive lighting looks even worse after digital video compression. Depending on how much your provider bit-starves channels, the shows have basically been in sequin-vision for years now, especially the Titantron and the ramp.
December 16, 20159 yr comment_5716212 Asuka is so fucking rad. If they let her do what she does here on the main roster (which, lol, I know) she'd be huge for that division.
December 17, 20159 yr comment_5716217 Can't say enough about Bayley's performance here. She made a very limited worker with only a few move look like an absolute monster and never showed her up. Then the comeback and finisher were paced and laid out very well to keep the fighting champion strong. Just a tremendous job of booking and execution. I hope she gets called up because it'll mean a lot to her, but would love for her to work this type of title match at every NXT big show going forward.
December 17, 20159 yr comment_5716220 Asuka is so fucking rad. If they let her do what she does here on the main roster (which, lol, I know) she'd be huge for that division. I think she might actually be ok on the main roster, her charisma is undeniable and they won't be having her do long scripted promos unless her English is farther along than it seems.

I think she might actually be ok on the main roster, her charisma is undeniable and they won't be having her do long scripted promos unless her English is farther along than it seems. I like your optimism. I do think her presentation and work is so on point that it'd be really hard to keep her down even if they gave her shit booking.
December 17, 20159 yr comment_5716232 I thought they specifically signed Asuka to a NXT contract only and told her she would never be called up?
December 17, 20159 yr comment_5716233 Joe deserves a run on the big show he's looked terrific lately. How fucking awesome is Bayley vs Asuka going to be? Really good showing from Emma I have no idea why they can't use a woman that attractive and that talented on the main roster. Crews kinda sucks. I thought Finn did most of the heavy lifting in their match a few weeks ago, and Corbin completely out classed him here.
