All the new faces on NXT look like they have potential (except Duke Hudson, dude just looks like a Generic CAW: UK Edition). Just having new faces in more than squash matches felt like a breath of fresh air.

Also I love that the story here seems to be Sarray kicked Mandy Rose in the face so hard she turned into Raven.

Shocked Vince hasn't called Kacy Katanzaro up to the main roster to be a real Lily doll yet.

I don't like that Josh Briggs dude. Bull Buchanan's son, Brooks Jensen, looks promising tho.

Man, I was all excited for REX STEINER (perfect name for the son of DFG) and we got BRONSON BREAKKKER or whatever the fuck

Isn't the whole idea, "can you see this name on the WM marquee?"

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, YOUR MAIN EVENT......BROCK LESNAR VS. BORK BREAKKKER!!!!!!!!

I thought I was overreacting when I read this on my phone earlier at work as well. I went from excited to disappointed just like that. I know some people want to pretend that a name doesn't mean that much but in pro wrestling, a name is everything. And WWE are fucking terrible at it.

I don't think Bron Breakker is THAT bad (please for the love of God remove the extra K though) but Rex Steiner is such a cool, such a perfect name that it just comes off as a steaming pile of shit. 

But guys, it's like Bone Breaker! Such Good Shit.....

Hey, don't blame Duke Hudson on us, he's Australian

Yeah, as soon as I heard that name, whatever cool factor the new NXT had just instantly evaporated. On the plus side, that means he can trademark Rex Steiner for himself and use it in AEW or wherever else he ends up after they release him.

I only saw literally a few seconds, which was the very end of the Imperium tag. When did they, especially MB, get so fucking lean? Anyway, definitely a massive upgrade in visuals. It definitely feels like a developmental show, but the brighter atmosphere, more domed look with stadium seating, and the colors definitely at least gave things a fresher aesthetic. I saw clips of Rick Steiner's son and lol'd for real when he gave his name. The fuck lmao. The clip I saw of him in the ring, he looked a bit shaky but I guess he's very young and has very little training. I wonder if they changed to avoid people talking about Scott or something.

He military pressed LA Knight, who is not small, like he wasn't shit. Imagine him throwing all those FOOLS in the main event. 

Just give him the title. THE PEOPLE NEED IT.

Real "put him over Flair in five minutes in the main event of Starrcade" vibes here 

I'm all in on the DFG's son but my god that name. Other than that his ceiling is at the highest. 

We are all stuck on Bron Breakker, but I think Von Wagoner for Cal Bloom is equally as stupid.

These folks naming wrestlers in WWE must have some absolutely shit names for their kids.

Honestly all I could think of seeing him wasn't the name, but "are we sure he's Bloom's kid and not Andre's". You could set a drink on my man's eyebrow ridge.

Bruce named his son Kane IIRC, so.........

Maybe Lou Ferrigno's his Mom?

Worst thing is that dude is actually pretty good, but he REEKS of early days Edge. A bit uglier or better looking depending on the eye of the beholder, but the lanky frame is very similar.

Hope he develops an actual character and presence soon, tho.

Seemed like they were kind of doing him a disservice by having his debut be in a main event title match. Like we didn't even know this dude existed until the beginning of the show and he's getting a title shot? I mean granted no one was expecting him to win but it seemed like they could have tapped the brakes just a little considering a million people debuted here. 

The WM headlined by Wayne Bloom's, Rick Steiner's, and Bull Buchanan's sons is gonna be lit

I mean, we had WMs headlined by Sika and Cowboy Bob's sons so you never know. 

The Wild Samoans were big draws and headlined a lot of shows both as a team and solo, and Cowboy Bob himself was involved in the main event of the first WM, though. 

Wasn't Rick himself really fucking over on the Varsity Club, tho? Besides, I'd rather have the son of Wayne Bloom over the son of Curt Hennig. Lineage is not everything etc
