    Id cheer for anyone booked like that in fairness, strong and fearless.

    Lets hope he goes over Cena in so way for form and doesnt suffer being Rusev'd (or Wyatt'd/Umaga'd/etc)

    Alexa makes Blake and Murphy look like stars rather than try hards.

    Owens, like Rollins is so good as a heel, hateable but his work is still enjoyable.

    Was a little disappointed Becky didn't have a match, even a short one, rather than the video package. But with the main event, Finn and Blake/Murphy getting the obvious wins it was enough for one night.

    They should've started chanting Run Owens Run.
    Any guesses as to who attacked Itami since Owens is denying it and assuming it's not Rikishi?

    And I would not consider Alexa jumping on top of me an insult

    Jesus, Joe's music has to be the worst ever.

    I'm guessing in the long-run Finn will beat Owens and then it will be revealed that Finn attacked Itami, leading to a feud between the two?

    Ditto on Joe's music it's shocking.

    Unless we're gonna see the return of "The REAL Rock N Rolla" then I don't wana see Finn turn heel anytime soon.

    Why would she be hacked? She IS a fan girl.

    Just seems strange to be asking fans to tweet SCSA on her behalf and then name dropping Kenta and Foley. Im not having a go and I think its great that shes still such a big fan but it just seems like an odd thing to do. Like the kinda thing WWE higher ups wouldnt like

    A lot of it is stuff you'd expect a 23 year old woman who is interested in fashion would post on social media but often she goes on serious Wrestling kicks. She's obsessed with Eddie Guerrero. Posts about Japanese Wrestling too. And posts things like fan photoshopped "manips" of her and Balor or Reigns being a couple. :P She had/has a serious Wrestle crush on Itami/KENTA and took weeks to muster up the courage to talk to him when he came to NXT.

    http://sashabankswwe.tumblr.com/

    At one stage she gave more character development to Becky than NXT Creative ever did. Also like a year ago she was shading/taking thinly veiled shots at people. Often Charlotte. But that isn't really a feature now. Overall it is a cool page to visit before and after her matches as it is a visual expression of someone who enjoys what they do.

    Just terrible.
    Reminds me of something awfully generic they would overdub on an ECW re-release to avoid copyright issues. Shockingly bad

    Why wouldn't the higher-ups like it? It's not like she is actively promoting non-WWE stars and legends. It's good promotion for those people, shows on the Network and also for the WWE.

    The main highlights from the NXT House Show in Citrus Springs, FL

    Becky Lynch defeated Lina Fanene

    Charlotte, Carmella, and Devin Taylor def. Sasha Banks, Jessie McKay, and KC Cassidy.

    If that trio made TV all bets are off:

    *I am not a wrestler*

    It is a good question. Basically he bends his knees on impact and rolls off. Takes lots of practice. His opponent really tenses their stomach too.

    You need to know how to jump and go through the stomp motion without actually stomping. Falling on to your opponent who should raise up their body off the ground negate some of the jumpers momentum. When contact is made the jumper falls/jumps off as quickly as they can to keep from putting pressure on their opponent longer than is necessary to land.

    Low Ki and especially Kevin Sullivan's versions are a lot more dangerous.

    Becky & Balor did their first ever NXT preshow meet and greet together. They've been pictured together in massive NXT group shots before but never side by side:

    The streak is over.

    Braun Stowman bypassed NXT TV and worked a Smackdown dark match:

    https://twitter.com/WSonlineTV/status/605907740548988930

    Talked about him before on here. Billed as 6 ft 8 in and 385 lb. He's a former Strongman whenever he works NXT Live Events everyone comments how much magnetism he has. I think he has worked 5-6 matches in public ever.

    He looks a lot like Mike Knox/Knux in TNA.

    Apparently he is Matt Bloom's (Tensai/Albert) understudy.

    That would be correct.

    A few day ago Jasmine Areebi from NXT BRIEFLY had up a Instagram video which she deleted of her talking in Arabic with some hashtags suggesting they'll really play her heritage. Just missed it personally.

    I've talked about her before but she's an immature 20 year old. But the bigger thing is that she represents kind of a generation gap. She's a child of social media the instagram video above was fairly benign - she was just excited about her character and her first thought was to post about it online. But friends are hoping she doesn't post something actually inadvisable.

    Interesting that WWE may attempt a positive Arabic character though.
