Cameron Grimes would have a job for life with his current gimmick. Vince loves that stuff. It's one of the few examples of an NXT guy actually getting a character that will translate to the main roster - i.e. what Vince likes.
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945313 The thing with WALTER is not so much he doesn't want to travel to the US, it's that he has regular bookings and his school (I think he's still involved with that) in Europe and doesn't want to leave those for extended periods of time. I get the impression he's only here now to get some work in due to *gestures at everything going on*. Plus I don't see him being one to put up with Vince's Vince-ness very much so I wouldn't expect him to be on the main roster other than maybe a one off appearance.
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945325 The best thing about WALTER-Ciampa was that it ended with a fucking chop. I would take 20 pedigrees before I take one chop from fucking WALTER
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945330 WALTER/Ciampa had the best body part psychology of any match I've seen in years. I guess they figured Ciampa was too brittle for a full-on violence party, so they decided to work a more story-based match (although it's not like they were playing patty-cake with each other). If that's the case, it was definitely for the better.

I would take 20 pedigrees before I take one chop from fucking WALTER I was thinking how normally that would be a lame finish but I 100% believe a chop from WALTER would end a man. Plus loved how they established the left handed chops weren't as effective so he was forced to use the injured hand to finish it.
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945337 Only WWE would give a known sex pest physical abuser a record title reign (Jordan Devlin).
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945342 Shit, not y'all making me want to watch a Ciampa match. That damn WALTER and his awesomeness.
April 8, 20214 yr comment_5945343 Night 1 was really good. I was not feeling Dunne/Kushida from the moment Dunne came to new not nearly as good entrance music. The match was shorter which is good for the opener but I still found it to go go go. That was where the disappointments ended though as everything else delivered. Loved the gauntlet and WALTER/Ciampa. The tag title three way was super fun silliness. The main event was great. Io is insane and Raquel more than held up her end of the bargain.

They can bag groceries at Winn-Dixie instead of being a famous pro wrestler or famous anything.
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945353 My man Santos sending that creep back to the garbage heap he belongs.
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945354 I just learned that a female NXT UK ref is actually from Bordeaux (which is where I'm basically from too). Hey, good for her. Now, waiting to learn she re-tweeted some very stupid stuff. (sad to say I haven't missed Shanna since I learned about it)
April 9, 20214 yr Author comment_5945355 Haven't watched it so far, but based on the results, Raquel winning the title is one of the ballsiets decisions they've had in a while and the fan in me LOVES that decision. She is a great hoss and still has a long way to go. Fucking loved her wars with Rhea. Also, Escobar is a star. We lament Andrade's mistreatment, but if they fuck up Santos' push they have completely lost it. Dude has basically everything Andrade has AND can cut a great promo. Just has *can't miss* all over him.

Yeah, he's great, but don't fool yourself - he won't be used any better than any other luchador or Mexican wrestler has been in a decade.
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945358 It's been a while since I watched NXT, the new commentary team is so much better since the dark days of Mauro

NXT would've won the ratings war and AEW would've been put out of business if Mauro had stayed. MAMMA MIA!
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945360 Guess it wouldn't be a Takeover if Shotzi didn't attempt to kill herself.
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945361 Yaaaaaaaaaaawn! at Johnny Developmental winning. Should've gone to Bronson Reed.
April 9, 20214 yr comment_5945362 No title changes yet tonight, so I assume Finn Balor drops it to Karrion Kross. Please explain to me what everyone else sees in Kross that I'm missing.
