April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839744 This show is off to a horrible start, I just spilled poutine gravy on my monitor. That band was too loud. The rock musicians are too loud nowadays. *shakes fist*
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839746 Did Mauro Ranallo really just say "Velveteen Dream dropping elbows like DJ's drop the needle?"
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839747 The impromptu Richochet-tossing contest is my spot of the year so far.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839749 As lame as Adam Cole may be, he's at least over I'm taking that as one for one
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839750 That was a fun as shit ladder match, but man Adam Cole is the boringest possible winner of that match.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839752 I covered my eyes in fear like six times during that match. Some of the spots required a bit too much setup for my liking, but that was some nutty shit out there.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839755 Pat McAfee is a retired NFL punter, he has no business doing this---but I agree with Johnny. He is awesome. The guy is trying to be a media personality and was/is doing some pro wrestling training. It's not like he's Art Donovan. I didn't realize he was involved with pro wrestling before. That's cool. I just didn't expect to see him on NXT, that's all. I am all for WWE finding talents in weird places. I am still holding out hope that DeAngelo Williams tries out WWE.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839757 I feel like Ive lost the ability to say whether those WWE car-crash matches are good or not. I know they no longer interest or shock me, despite the danger.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839758 Oh man, that entrance was embarrassing. I thought it was pretty cool.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839760 I feel like Ive lost the ability to say whether those WWE car-crash matches are good or not. I know they no longer interest or shock me, despite the danger. Agreed. I just feel completely indifferent about it
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839761 Would love to think that Rhonda at ringside is planting seeds for feuds with Ember and Shayna in the future
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839763 I feel like Ive lost the ability to say whether those WWE car-crash matches are good or not. I know they no longer interest or shock me, despite the danger. Yeah, that's the problem with those matches, isn't it? The law of diminishing returns. That ladder match was about as good as you're going to see for a match like that. I did enjoy it, but I cringed a number of times. While I enjoy those types of matches on a visceral level, I think they're too dangerous and probably shouldn't be done. The participants have to constantly try and outdo what others have done before or risk being labelled as boring or unexciting. Edge claims (and I have no reason not to believe him) that the Ladder and TLC matches he did in WWE took years off his career. I'd rather see a guy like Ricochet or Velveteen Dream stay healthy and have a longer career. Great match, but some of those spots were just so damn dangerous.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839764 That match was better than the reaction the crowd gave it. Shayna is what they hope Ronda can be.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839765 Shayna pulling her own hair to keep the rear naked choke on was beautiful. It took too long for Ember to fade to it though.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839766 The ladder match was insane. The women's match was insane! Both made my database for sure. Loved the story of Basler-Moon with the shoulder work, the popping it back in with the ring post, Eclipse to the floor and the choking out using the hair, because arm was dead. Fucking loved it.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839767 They had to follow the ladder's match which is sad but the women worked hard and told a good in-ring story. I'm a big Shayna Baszler fan too so I enjoyed the result as well. Good stuff.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839768 Baszler-Moon was really good in the broad strokes, if not always in the details.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839769 I don't want to say it but Paige looks totally fucking out of it in these promos for her biopic.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839770 That match was better than the reaction the crowd gave it. Shayna is what they hope Ronda can be. Its going to be a long time before Ronda gets close to that good. Not any fault of hers but just limited ring experience.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839771 Are the Authors of Pain the best "NXT Developmental Project" ever at this point? I mean I don't count Braun or Elias much, but the AOP are so damn fun now a days.
April 8, 20187 yr comment_5839773 I never watch NXT so this is all new to me, but Baszler and Moon are both great. And yes, Paige was definitely intoxicated when they filmed those promos.
