I didn’t know there was a porn version of the nWo theme.
NXT Tapings sound fucking bonkers in quality, even for their current standard which is already really good. We’re in for a good couple of weeks.
Note that the order is where I think these matches wil air and not when they aired during the tapings, so there may be some mixed around.
Spoiler
Dark:
[list]
[] Commentators introduced. Nigel Mcguiness (cheered), Percy Watson (booed lol, kind of mean though). Triple H introduces the “Bipolar Rock & Roller” Mauro Ranallo to a huge pop.
[] Bianca BelAir (formerly Blair) over Aliyah to qualify for the Mae Young Classic, apparently this match was okay.
[/list]
June 28th:
[list]
[] Velveteen Dream squashes Hoho Lun. Apparently Dream was very over and he posed in a seductive manner over Hoho post match.
[] Hideo vs Oney Lorcan, had to be taped twice as the first time the match had to be stopped Lorcan broke Hideo’s nose and he led everywhere. Second time Hideo went over when he took advantage of a knee injury. Hideo called out Ohno, they talked but then got attacked by Sanity (Cross/Wolfe/Dain) who cut a promo.
[] Vanessa Bourne (formerly Danielle Kamella) over Jayme Hachey (formerly Jayme Jameson). May or may not air.
[] Johnny Gargano out for a promo to a big pop. Has a new theme which is his CWC theme but with female lyrics. Babyface promo saying rather than just wondering about Tommasso he needs to get back to being Johnny Wrestling. Might end up on the following episode due to the length of the main event.
[] NXT Women’s Championship Last Woman Standing match: Asuka over Nikki Cross via Suplex off a ladder through the announcers table… Yes you read that right. This was the match that closed the tapings but it airs next week. Similar to Dain, Nikki now has her own remix of the Sanity theme. Was apparently super good and violent with a lot of plunder used.
[/list]
July 5th:
[list]
[] No Way Jose over Cezar Bononi. Andrade Cien Almas comes out after the match with Thea Trinidad and kills Cezar, he motions to NWJ but bails through the crowd when he tries to run in.
[] Ember Moon over Ruby Riot in a very good match.
[] Sanity (Wolfe/Dain) over Hideo and Ohno. Hideo tried to solo the match after dissension between him and Ohno. Post match Ohno has words with Hideo as they walk away
[] NXT Championship match: Bobby Roode over Roderick Strong after the Triple H/Ambrose dusty finish where Roderick got the three count and celebrated but Roode had his foot under the rope, the victory got called off and Roode beat a distracted Roddy. Jesus Christ Bobby really is Canadian Triple H. This was taped later on but it’s been announced this match will air on this episode so I slotted it here. Apparently really good and Strong got a standing ovation after the match.
[/list]
July 12th:
[list]
[] Oney Lorcan over Danny Burch… I think (seriously there has been three separate accounts of the outcome to this match). Really good, brutal match the crowd loved, Oney busted open Burch at one point (Jesus Christ Oney, calm down lad). Respect spot after the match, Burch asks for one more match which Oney agrees to.
[] Aliester Black over BOBBY FISH. Fish makes a surprise debut to a big pop. Good match, Aliester shows respect after winning.
[] NXT Tag Team Championship match: AOP over Heavy Machinery in a good big boy bout. Wolfe and Dain come out for a staredown with AOP post match.
[] Jeet Rama squashes Johnny Vandal. May or may not air.
[] NXT Championship No.1 Contenders match: Drew McIntyre over Killian Dain in a good back and forth match. Holy shit Dain is everywhere these tapings. Either this or the tag Championship match may go on last but this was later in reality so I’ll go with that.

Man I need to catch up on NXT. I’m so behind.
I don’t even remember the last one I watched. I think the last one I watched was the NXT 2 weeks after the recent take over? So I don’t think I’m TOO far behind. 3-4 episodes. Doable.
Guess I know what I’m doing after watching

Whatever is going on with KOR is mindboggling.

Bobby Fish is 40
Kyle been working evolve since roh dropped him
I find that really weird. O’reilly hasn’t even been booked by njpw. I wonder why he hasn’t gone to wwe.
ReDragon on nxt would be dope

Yeah, that’s what’s killing me. Even if WWE randomly didn’t want KOR, which they do, why doesn’t NJPW want him after all the protecting they did for him?

O’reilly could easily play a big role in njpw. I think he would have been way better in suzuki gun than zsj. Because dude was actually over.
I mean Elgin shit hard on roh before signing full time
O’reilly was on wk and actually outdid the match with cole at final battle. But that was it. He didn’t do bosj and the jr tag league
So weird. Dude isn’t even injured or in tna. Maybe dude has visa issues? Which i mean new japan can fix. They brought over mvp for god’s sake
Don’t think there’s anything stopping him from signing up and working NXT (his ROH non-compete in other American TV products would definitely be up by now). He’s probably getting everything he wants to do out of the way before he starts, NXT themselves might be delaying some debuts until post-Takeover where they can move some guys up to main, as the roster is ludicrously stacked right now and there’s no way him and Cole aren’t getting big pushes upon joining.
Mauro on his leaving
Glad he is at nxt now, it’ll suit him fine.
*Super hype for Fish to be in the 'E. Underrated middle class trash promo ability and a fantastic worker. I thought he’d sign with the 'E 2 years ago towards the end of the hot reDragon run. *

About time feds started using Twitch
So Meltzer is saying that Io Shiari has a neck injury that will delay her WWE debut for some months…WWE doctors found it while doing physicals.
May delay her joining WWE for some months.
That’s a shame.

Social Media nut job who’s basically trying to get all three kids to the NBA. He’s basically a real life wwe manager but somehow more crazy and more annoying

Bryan has been low-key saying that for a while now…
