I'm still hoping for Nakamura for #2 at the Rumble. Gives him time/space for his entrance.

 

This version of Sami is so amazing.

 

I loooooooove the heat Mundo gets in the Temple. None of these people saw all of the backstage stuff from season two so it is all based on his ring work there. Its just so awesome.

 

I'm just wondering if they can afford to wait that long. It's still 3 months away, right? Guy's supposedly making as much as AJ, time to let him shine.

 

I think so. He'll go over Joe at Takeover, Joe debuts after that. Nakamura debuting in January seems fine. Question is how they get the belt off Nak.

 

Feel like Roode has to be the next NXT champion

 

Total Nonstop Deletion doesn't have funding.

 

yep, postponed until the end of November. Which sucks if thats the outcome of this trial

 

If they want to build Nak up to be a huge force, I think you bring him up and have him drop the NXT title without losing it, sort of like when Paige was brought up full-time to the roster. Without Nak and Joe, the title picture gets a bit more wide open, so I wouldn't be mad at a tournament or a fatal fourway or something to crown the vacant championship.

 

He'll debut at the Rumble. Not sure how he'll drop the title though. My original thought was what they were almost going for before Nak "returned" with him getting demolished by Joe causing Joe to get "fired" and Nak having to give up the title, giving them the chance to come up basically. But now not so sure. I'm guessing Joe "quits" NXT and gets called up after the PPV. It's overdue really.

Also, Roode needs to have the title next. He'll do more with it than anyone on the roster. I also didn't even realize that NXT Takeover is in his hometown. Man, can't wait for that entrance.

 

I read a rumor somewhere (or maybe it was just fantasy booking) that they were considering making the Joe vs Nakamura match a "loser leaves NXT" match. So winner gets the title, and loser goes up to RAW/Smackdown.

 

I think we get Roode vs Aries vs Nak at takeover the night before the rumble. Lots of options there. Roode pins Aries so Nakamura drops the belt without getting pinned. Nak wins and vacated the title leaving Roode vs Aries lined up to compete for it. Nakamura pins Aries giving Roode a claim to fight 1-1 on a taped show a few weeks after takeover...

In other news, this Roode v Dillinger feud is one of the best I've seen from nxt. Great way to actually get Bobby some real heat after his theme song made him over as fuck before he even had his first match. I dunno how Tye will do on the main roster but at full sail he is clearly adored

 

I know they've been promoting these sorts of bands for a while, but holy shit Turnstile!!!

 

Tye still needs to be the tenth NXT champ. even if it is only for five minutes.

 

Fixed =)

 

Meltzer said that there are no plans to bring up Nak anytime soon, and they still want him to be the main attraction for NXT

 

They can take theie time with Nak as long as he's still the one to beat Brock as far as i'm concerned.

 

Meltzer says there are no plans for Nakamura. That's as of this morning, sooooo.

 

Nakamura staying in nxt is still better than him being thrown into the dumpster fire that is raw

 

Also, Austin Aries got busted open pretty bad at a house show last night. Took a vicious kick from Nak. Hopefully he's okay for the PPV.

 

Well, and I imagine they've learned from this brand split and all the call-ups that bringing everyone up so fast can really hurt NXT.

In my opinion, Nak is the new Balor. He's gonna be there for a couple of years carrying the brand, while other guys like Joe, Roode, etc move up.

 

As its fighting spirit increases, the flames that Incineroar produces within its body burst from its navel and waistline. Since the flames somewhat resemble a championship belt, they’re known as its “flame belt,” and the Pokémon unleashes moves that use flames from it. In the heat of battle, Incineroar shows no concern for its opponents—and sometimes even launches attacks that strike the opposing Trainer! As a result, many tend to dislike this Pokémon and keep it at a distance.

If a crowd watching it battle is pumped up, Incineroar’s fighting spirit will burn brighter. But a lackluster crowd can make it lose focus or fight shoddily. When it receives the admiration of young Pokémon and children, it may keep up its cold attitude on the outside, but in its heart of hearts, Incineroar is immensely happy. It loses the desire to fight when faced with a Pokémon that’s clearly weak or injured, and it sometimes gets taken advantage of as a result.

Darkest Lariat is a Dark-type physical move that only Incineroar can learn, and it allows Incineroar to deal damage while ignoring the effects of any stat changes that the target might otherwise be affected by.

 

WWE Survivor Series takes place at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on November 20th. Traditionally one of the biggest shows of the year, Survivor Series will be WWE's first inter-brand PPV since August's SummerSlam, but SmackDown may be heading towards it without one of their biggest stars.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is reporting that Randy Orton will be taking some time off in November, including the PPV. Meltzer reports that Orton's wife is expected to give birth to a baby girl on Nov 22nd, and that The Viper has been granted the week off beforehand. He is not scheduled to return until Nov 29th's SmackDown Live.

 

TURNSTILE. Hahaha what the fuck. Awesome

 

They honestly don't even need Cena or Orton. Ambrose/Styles/Miz/Ziggler/Wyatt is a fine crew for the big match
