Rebecca's NXT name is BECKY LYNCH

How long before her evil sister Claire Lynch joins?

rovert

Made a joke to the FORMER Rebecca Quin and Joey Cabray based on their new names and guess what Joey started revealing his new character it seems:

I'll fight ye for a caravan boy #bowsie

A true king #bowsie

No gloves needed #bowsie

The new PPW WWE Battleground will be competed on an unevenly tarmaced driveway.

There's no way he got that stuff for the sake of a joke. I'd imagine going by his bio on the NXT site and the get up, we've got a "big fat gypsy" representative in the WWE. Could be good, Micky in Snatch was an interesting character.

They need to go all out on this and have Sheamus revisit his bouncer days by stopping the gypsies from entering the arena. "Nah not tonight boss, last night you were here there was too much trouble fella."

Still taking 100% credit though.

Just wondering, will NXT be filmed at the new place in the future? I assume they've already filmed next month's programming at the existing place

I dunno about the "traveller" gimmick Joe Cabray has been given. We'd all get it. But can the north american audience get it?

As said earlier, people might reference Brad Pitt as Mickey in Snatch. But that movie was 13 years ago and if I recall correctly the American version of my big fat gypsy wedding is about american-roma gypsies and is only into it's second season. It's not exactly a mainstream tv show for them.

CastorTroy

I showed the pics to one of the guys here and he instantly said it looked like Brad in Snatch.

Did they just go through the book of Irish stereotypes and come up with one they hadn't used yet? Never heard the guy speak but what's his normal accent like?

GTR63

His callout videos could be funny

Mick Murdock

Traveller gimmick and Bull Dempsey.. Things are looking up.

I think Becky Lynch is the first Divas name that stands out as terrible..

He just has a regular dublin accent. But given the gimmick you have to figure he'll put on a traveller voice.

Who knows maybe WWE will tell him to ham it up - "top of the morning to ya wwe universe" - urgh bloody americans :pac:

Be funny if he puts on an accent similar to Mickey in Snatch. Be great in promos when no one knows what he's saying.

Anyone see this weeks? Crowd was so hot for Zayn vs. Swagger...... was it me or did Swagger look out of shape?

Wasn't the best idea for him to pull his straps down alright. Loving watching Zayn matches, crowd reactions are great.

CastorTroy

Wonder if he would get the same reaction on the main roster.

Looks like Charlotte is taking a couple moves from her dad. Over the turnbuckle and being thrown from the top turnbuckle

bobby_says_hi

Zayn is a good talker as well so I think he'd get over very easily if he was allowed to cut promos

Charlotte was very disappointing. She reminds me too much of Brooke Tessmacher. She comes across as arrogant and bitchy, can't seem to play a face at all. Hopefully they'll switch her back to heel soon enough. I'm enjoying the corruption of Sasha Banks

I love how Bo Dallas has literally changed nothing about his character but has suddenly become one of the best heels on NXT

CastorTroy

Booooo!

While watching Zayn, it got me thinking I wonder if they'll ever do an indie faction. Basically guys like Punk, Bryan, Cesaro and others getting together to bring back real wrestling. Maybe they bring in new guys as well. Though that would only work if those guys were never on NXT.

rovert

Put me in the camp of liking Zayn/Swagger over Zayn//Ohno.

Really, really like Rusev.

Luther Ward made his debut for NXT tonight at a live event in Tampa. Awful picture but he is the one in black:



Nice to see him progress even in a small way.

Is he that Bulgarian wrestler?

Reminds me of a cross between Samoa Joe and Pumola (This guy) from Bloodsport

Or Hakan from Street Fighter.

This could be unreal. Sami's homecoming at a WWE live event.

French Canadians are very patriotic and love their own. You may remember La Resistance getting Rock level reactions when they ran Raw in that city.

rovert

Ohno seems to have turned things around thankfully appearing on last night's tapings:

bobby_says_hi

independent wrestler and SHINE Wrestling star Santana Garrett apparently worked a tryout match at the tapings against Charlotte. It's probably going to be a dark match as the reports said another Divas segment came afterwards and they waited until Charlotte and Bayley had gone to the back before coming out. Santana is a new face on the indie scene but she's very good and would make a nice addition to the roster. Plus she's gorgeous as well

rovert

Undertaker, Michelle McCool and Tensai earlier this week.

Taker told Sasha that Sasha Banks vs Bailey was his favourite Diva's match in a long time!
