Gargano took a fucking ladder to the face for him, and Ciampa stilled turned on him

 

Tonight was solid top to bottom.

Their singles match is going to tear the house down

 

The part with gargano still holding on and looking to ciampa for help after the turn was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in wrestling

 

So I'm assuming they are saving Hideo's big moment for Brooklyn

 

I don't think he's getting a big moment. He'll be on 205 live by the end of the year. I think it'll be Roode/Drew in Brooklyn

 

What about Black? I could see a Roode/Drew/Black/Hideo four way at Brooklyn

 

That may end up being the way they go. It's insane how stacked NXT is again.

 

For real. I mean beyond those four you still have the likes of Strong, Ohno, Almas... Cole maybe on the way...

NXT needs a second men's belt now more than ever. Maybe something along the lines of the gift of the gods championship that can be used to get a shot at the main title. Also Brooklyn might need to be three hours.

 

Yeah a secondary belt would be extremely helpful right now. I hope they introduce one soon but I don't think they will. Maybe they'll make the UK title more prominent.

 

Damn

 

Pretty impressive that he went out and performed in that match if he does have a significant injury. He didn't exactly take it easy out there, either.

 

haha bravo nxt! that has got to be a record for the most drawn out ending/heel turn i've ever seen. It felt obvious something was about to happen (a really long send off for no reason...i dont think so)...but then they flashed the ending graphic! and i was like fuck nevermind. then bam.

decent takeover. England match was great (it needed like 3 less spots and it would've been perfect) and the ladder match was fun, while the other stuff was kinda expected quality.

this is the first time ive seen a few of these people... I think Sanity sucks. The whole package looks so amateur and outside of Young, I'm not seeing much of anything. Especially Nikki Cross, talk about wrong gimmick for a person. I like ruby riot, definitely has potential (needs work but that's what development is for). And i guess that's really it. Strong seems hit or miss, Itami will be on 205 live i agree, and Roode/Asuka and the tag competitors are great so.

 

Itami on 205 Live will be a waste of a talent. I have to imagine he's making main roster money already, he was the first "big acquisition" of NXT, they did the whole press conference thing and had Hogan introduce him in Japan or w/e. I really like the guy and think he would be better used in just about any other capacity.

 

Oh hell yeah

 

The only thing I want in life now is to hear Hideo going off with a long string of expletives.

 

Its no SRW but still made me laugh a few times

For the main event interference, I'm specifically looking for something not easily predictable.

If Mahal's goons are the ONLY ones that interfere, I'm going to throw the prop out and nobody gets points for it.
