Scouting Developmental - aka the WWE NXT Thread

I mean, re-comping a body doesn't happen overnight and they taped 12 weeks of TV in 5 weeks, so I can see why he's off TV for a while.

I just say fuck it and bring him up to the E. Any smark knows who Chris Hero is and anyone with a beard in WWE these's days gets over.

[Warner2BruceTD]

They have designated workout time and Ohno was flat out blowing it off. That got back to Triple H and that was that. He was yanked off of TV and told directly to get into the gym and get into shape.

I think it's not so much what his body looks like as much as what his body looks like combined with the idea that he doesn't work on changing it.

We've seen Hero for years.

There are sometimes when his body looks good enough, then sometimes he looks very doughy. Clearly a dude that gets bored with the gym with the quickness.

He was obviously on steroids right before he signed. Because if you recall, his medicals were rejected mysteriously, and he showed back up in ROH briefly, looking much softer than when he left.

He's a guy with bad genetics that doesn't like the gym. A bad combo.

NXT 8/8

Alex Riley is on color tonight.

-Adrian Neville v. Dean Amrbose - Amborse oozes big match feel. This ends up being a decent, albeit typical high flyer versus brawler type match. It was given time. Neville actually hits the Red Arrow and The Shield interferes. Boo. Just way too much of this junk in countless Shield matches.

*As a side note...Alex Riley is pretty good on commentary.

Meeting of the jobbers.

DANCE BATTLE!!!!!!!! - I'm fucking @ "The Advanced Shopping Trolley"...this turns into the Fangando dance v. the EMMA dance as you'd expect. Emma wins, obv. Summer Rae goes HAM after.

Leo Kruger promo video.

-Tyler Breeze v. Danny Burch - Hansel...he's so hot right now...Hansel. Squash. This dude's jumbo tron is himself on facetime. LAFF.

Bo Dallas singing "Don't stop Bo-lievin..." oh lawd.

-Leo Kruger v. Bo Dallas - Leo Kruger has the most outdated picture. They gave this one a lot of time. About 15 minutes. Crowd is BEGGING for the title change. Leo Kruger hits the big clothesline, puts Bo in the London Dungeon. Kruger goes to the top, Bo Dallas puts the knees up and puts Kruger in a submission hold...Kruger taps. Actually a good match.

The opener and main event are worthy watches. The Dance Battle is what it is.

NXT 8/15

Paul Heyman comes out for a promo. He's scouting for a new Paul Heyman guy. He goes a bit off the cuff and applauds the talent in the back. And out comes Curtis Axel. Then Heyman heels it up and Big E. Langston returns to challenge Axel for the Intercontinental Title. Big E is still over in NXT as a face.

-Curtis Axel (c) v. Big E Langston - Decent undercard match until Heyman interferes to end the match. Big E hits the Big Ending anyway and the crowd pops big and counts to five for old time's sake.

Sami Zayn flirts with Renee. El Sami Zayn is actually a helluva promo. He sets up the 2-out-of-3 Falls match.

-Mason Ryan v. Scott Dawson - I have no interest in this match. Fast Forward. Mason Ryan is really milking the Hulk Hogan trademarked "I'm gonna break'em in half" taunt.

-Paige (c) v. Summer Rae - Summer Rae is such a Jewess. That's all I got. Paige wins with the Paige Turner in an awkward match.

AJ Interview. Bayley wants to wrestle her next week. This Bayley awkward little kid gimmick is a pervert's dream...but its kind of awesome, too. Awkward = Funny.

The Shield v. Neville/Graves/Woods - I feel like I've seen Neville and Graves in a dozen six-man tags in as many weeks. Seriously, when the WWE brings back Saturday Morning Slam, I'd rocket pack Xavier Woods to the moon in that bubble. He'd be totally over with the Saturday Morning Cartoon crowd. He had a really good hot tag in this match. That ITS MORPHIN TIME move is the cats meow. The Shield eventually wins in a typical Shield match. Was a good match.

Antonio Cesaro promo. He's THE BOSS OF THE WORLD. He accepts the challenge and gets attacked by El Sami Zayn from behind. We end the show with a very villainous "ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYN!" by Cesaro.

Overall, show is kind of mundane until a good main event. The promos by Zayn and Cesaro are short and to the point and set up the big 2/3 falls match.

Very fan friendly...just run pretty long.

There are a few guys on a wrestling site that go to all of the tapings and the talent is very very accessible before and after shows.

NXT 8/22

AJ Lee v. Bayley - You know, Bayley has some big titties yo. AJ won this match with Shining Wizard.

CJ Parker be photobombing Tyler Breeze.

The Ascension v. Michael Zaki / Ron Hicks - Jobber squash.

CJ Parker v. Baron Corbin - CJ Parker is now a photobombing hippie. Another jobber squash. Post-match promo brings Tyler Breeze down to the ring. He really hams it up with a really bad Zoolander rip off.

Dolph Ziggler v. Alexander Rusev - This Rusev charactr sucks. Bulgarian BJJ expert with a Sumo bacground. WTF? Ziggler gives this guy a chance to get over. I see what they were doing there. Not bad.

Sami Zayn v. Antonio Cesaro - 2/3 Falls - Zayn gets the first fall in the first 30 seconds in from the Generico big boot to the corner and a rollup. Zayn taps out after getting choked out from the Cesaro's hangman choke. The final fall is where this match is getting its hype from. All of the big Generico spots, all of the big Cesaro spots. Near falls. Awesome spot where Zayn on the outside, dives through the turnbuckle, throgh the rops and gives Cesaro a spinning DDT. Also, the coolest spot of the year in the WWE. Zayn goes for the spinning DDT finish, Cesaro catches him in mid air and clean and presses him over his head, throws him in the air, hits him with the European Uppercut, and the Neutralizer. That spot turns this match into a **** quality match. Not quite as good as Ohno/Regal from early in the year, but close.

Everything is skippable...the Zayn and Cesaro match is go out of your way to see worthy.

OMFG at that match.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The first two falls, I was like "its good, but, I'm not seeing the hype"...then the last fall and that final sequence was so awesome...it got bumped.

[SuperKevin]

When I saw the 13 minute running time I was like, "damn how is this going to be epic" They blew me away regardless

[Warner2BruceTD]

Great match. This will come out wrong, but its overhyped. MOTY talk is insane. Not even best NXT match of the year. Wouldnt make G1 top ten. Wouldn't make my top 20 if I did one. But a great match. Top ten some years, not this year. Not even a top ten match this month.
