Scouting Developmental - aka the WWE NXT Thread

[FedEx227]

So Larry, I know you've mentioned it before, but where should I start? What show should I begin on or just start from now?

I want WWE to bring back a cruiserweight division so badly

So Larry, I know you've mentioned it before, but where should I start? What show should I begin on or just start from now?

I'll spot you.

4/3 - Big E Langston v. Conor O'Brian - Not a great match, but it is Big E's best title defense to date.
4/10 - Kassius Ohno v. William Regal - Will be one of the best matches the WWE has to offer all year. Must watch.
4/17 - Leo Kruger v. Justin Gabriel - They've had better, but its a solid match.
4/24 - Adrian Neville v. Antonio Cesaro - Cesaro already lost the title to Kofi a week or two prior, but this ended up being a good match.

That should get you caught up on most of what is going on in NXT.

And then, I'd watch all of the 5/1 episode and start from there.

If you got time and want to watch some stuff from earlier in the year.

3/20 - Justin Gabriel v. Leo Kruger...also an underrated Neville v. Luke Harper match.
3/6 - Conor O'Brian v. Corey Graves v. Bo Dallas ... if you want to watch the lead up to the Big E v. Conor O'Brian match. It was a good match.
2/27 - Another good Gabriel and Kruger match.

Nothing reinvents the wheel, but its solid stuff if you are looking to catch up.

[FedEx227]

Is there a good, um... place to watch these?

Is there a good, um... place to watch these?

Just google the matches and they will appear.

As for the full shows...I have hulu+ anyway, and just watch them there, but I am sure they are all over the 'net within a day or two.

[FedEx227]

Cool. Wasn't sure if there was some very easy source. I'll just search around and see what I come up with. Thanks!

Watch that.

I got all ready to watch it one night before I went to bed but the link you guys had was dead and I just fell asleep and never went back. I'm watching that full episode right now.

The Ohno/Regal intro video is already better than like 95% of what they do on the main show.

[XavierDZ]

Also go back to the January shows and watch the tag title tournament matches. Some great stuff including Kassius Ohno & Leo Kruger vs. Adrian Nevielle & Oliver Grey. Started January 23rd Show with the British Ambition vs. 3MB.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The tag title tourney was quite good.

We'll here is my review of the latest show. My Ratings may be a bit biased off my tastes in Wrestling, but hope you enjoy. I will be rating matches off of a 5 star chart.
NXT Review Show May 8th 2013

Damien Sandow vs Baron Corbin

 

Winner: Damien Sandow

Thoughts: Not a bad first match for Baron Corbin, nothing special. Was mentioned during the match that Corbin use to play Offensive line I believe for teams like the cardinal. Former Pro athletes get a bad rep, but felt Sandow did a good job working with the guy.

Rating: *1/2

Paige vs Baily

 

Winner: Paige

Thoughts: Was pretty solid, Paige is a superstar, and if Vince is smart he will push her through the Main Roster. Bailey had some good offense but other then that didn't stand out much.

Rating: **

Sakamoto vs. Briley Pierce

 

Thoughts: Seemed like it could be a good match from the get go, but then Conner O'Brien interferes and cleans house. Was a good segment though. Puts Conner over a bit more, and gives us a little more interest in his character and NXT's plans for him.

Rating: None

Kassius Ohno vs. Camacho

 

Winner: Kassius Ohno

Thoughts: Was a decent match, didn't get to much of a feel for Camacho, felt a bit formal for a Ohno match. Overall was good showing by both, but definitely not one of Ohno's best match. Ohno gets the win and then grabs a mic and apologizes to Regal for the past few months. Then he is stopped by Bray "Husky Harris" Wyatt, and attacked by the Wyatt family. Was done well, since the Wyatt family music has that backwoods country creepy sound to it. I can see this leading to a possible Ohno & Regal(or someone else).

Rating **1/4

Main Event
NXT Tag Team Title Match
Bo dallas & Adrian Neville vs. the Wyatt Family

 

Winner: Wyatt Family

Thoughts: Was a good back and forth match, everything seemed to flow the way a good tag match should. A lot of high spots from Neville was expected. Some good work between Neville and Dallas as a tag team. Also Luke Harper and Erick Rowan showing off the skill that all big men in wrestling should have. Fun match, very clean. Good ending, which could lead to a Neville vs Bo Dallas Fued or possible either one for the title, or if we are lucky. Both!

Rating: ***

Thoughts overall

 

Was a solid show, great build up to the Main Event. Crowd was hot, as always. Hopes this leads to some new fueds and a Face turn for Ohno and a possible Heel turn for Neville.

Overall Rating: ***

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Xavier...

I think Bo Dallas is looking at a heel turn.

[XavierDZ]

You think so? I wasn't to sure. Just knew his promo with Neville seemed a bit show off like. But I was thinking Neville would be mad that they lost the title and go heel. Either way, I wouldn't be to surprised.

[XavierDZ]

Watching the Weds NXT Show, and have come to realize how much Summer Rae looks like a Michelle Mccool ripoff.

[JimLeavy59]

Yeah but McCool doesn't have a fucked up nose.
