A debut vignette for Baron Corbin

6ft 8in 275lbs and an ex NFL player. Triple H is really high on him.

DEVITT, BECKY AND KENTA filmed in technology I don't understand:

CastorTroy · 11-09-2014 8:43pm

Of course Tyler Breeze would like having all those cameras

rovert · 18-09-2014 9:53pm

Itami's debut was really impressive. WWE hasn't clipped his wings:

The most interesting thing about this show is that WWE booking has completely destroyed Emma in the eyes of Full Sail. Some feat.

Jerichoholic · 19-09-2014 12:50am

Weird show. Awful announcing. Titus O'Neill was there why?

WinnyThePoo · 19-09-2014 1:28am

Oh WWE are trying to make Titus O'Neil 'happen' again. I thought maybe he had a chance on NXT Redemption or when the Prime Time Players were going. But I'm over him these days.

Gotta love Carmella's debut. The girl has plenty of character and I saw a video of her wrestling - she seems to have caught on quite fast. They need more heels in the NXT division

WWE NXT Diva Kendall Sky, real name Kendra Smith, was released today. A former stunt woman with a martial arts background, she was signed in early 2013. She never debuted on NXT TV, but had worked house shows as a babyface. She was out of action earlier this year with a broken wrist.

WWE also released NXT talent Troy McLain, real name, Alexander Jones this morning.
McClain had been using a motivational speaker-like personality, coming out wearing a mic to address the crowd for his entrances.

McClain had appeared on WWE NXT TV, but never in a pushed or prominent role. A former NCAA Division 1 athlete, he's from the Illinois area and was signed last year.

Calling Kendall injury prone is an understatement. Troy wrestled Corey Grave's last ever match.

The Ayatolla · 19-09-2014 6:56pm

KENTA's debut was okay, seemed to go at a snails pace at the beginning.

He botched the springboard dropkick. Bound to be some kinks and nerves nonetheless.

Lets hope its not another Sin Cara

CastorTroy · 19-09-2014 8:49pm

Think he'll be safe enough. I just find it funny all this talk and photos of him with the other indie guys yet none of them came to help him. And neither did the Lucha Dragons. Even if they had Funaki come out since he got a mention.

With Neville teasing a heel turn, was just wondering out of the other 4 members of the NXT 5 (as the interview dubbed them) who else do you think could be heel. Of course all debut as faces.
I think Sami Zayn is pretty good on the mike. I think people said he was weak before NXT?

As for Emma, to be honest, what were WWE doing with her before her life of crime? And thought Charlotte was turning.

I remember Daniel Bryan saying he loved wrestling Kenta as they didn't talk, they just tried to read what the other was doing and that that was a lot of fun.

I'm guessing they didn't speak because back then Kenta had zero English - now he has very little and I doubt WWE would let anybody go out there and just 'guess' a match, so I presume him and Gabriel had planned the entire match before hand - which would tell why it seemed slow and not as exciting as most would have hoped. Still, early days. He'll have many five star matches yet.

It's crazy as well to think of the size of these guys.

Zayn, Neville, Kenta (Itami :P ), Breeze. All "cruiserweights" for want of a better term.

An unbelievable turn of the tide to say the least.

Moneymaker · 19-09-2014 10:08pm

Kenta was grand, I wouldn't be worried too much.

Putting him up against the Ascension is weird though. Neither guy is the best worker and it seems a waste of talent.

Adding Titus to the title picture is a great idea. His talent is absolutely wasted on RAW and this is a good opportunity for him.

He's a contrast to the smaller guys too, and I think it will work great.

Poor Emma

You talk about dropping the ball. Jesus Christ.

Who are rooting for tonight on NXT? Alexa Bliss or Bayley. YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE.

Bayley

she's got the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubemen and that just about edge's it for me :pac:

bobby_says_hi · 25-09-2014 5:21pm

Bayley may want to hug me but Alexa's the one I want to hug back

Also I got inspired and wrote a wee analysis of every Diva training at NXT. I left out Eva Marie since she's technically already on the main roster

CastorTroy · 25-09-2014 6:46pm

When Bayley took the mike at the end I was sure she was going to tell Alexa Bliss to "Bayley-ve".

Think Marcus losing the headgear may have had a better effect if they didn't have the picture of him without it before the match.

Agent Coulson · 25-09-2014 8:40pm

Baley & Balor I can see it now.

CastorTroy · 25-09-2014 8:53pm

Not FinnBliss?

What's the backstory here?

rovert · 27-09-2014 3:14pm

A worked shoot promo from a NXT wrestler how fired. He was let go for being too pushy on the topic of being put on NXT TV. From emails to management, Twitter posts to bringing a electronic keyboard to the ring at a live event and singing a song called "Put Me On TV."

Lord TSC · 27-09-2014 4:00pm

"How dare you be confident. God damn it, you'll think your **** and be happy about it!"

Scavenger XIII · 27-09-2014 4:29pm

Then people don't get pushed and the reason is they didn't want it enough.
