Pretty solid show.

The product is just so much more enhanced when they're in an arena and not a warehouse.

I'm not feeling Roxanne's title reign now. To me, it's falling flat. But with Guilia, Vaquer and now DELTA in NXT, Perez is likely losing the belt soon, which opens the door for her main roster debut. I don't see adding Jade does anything to be honest, other than to give Roxanne's a reason to simply walk out on Jade (after Perez's loses the belt) and leave her to fight Guilia, Vaquer and DELTA on her own.

I wasn't a big fan of the show. The main wasn't good as expected and they did not go all out for it. I'm just glad Page is done as champ. I'm not a big Giulia fan and I don't think she's going to work out that well (same with Vaquer). Cora helping out Perez didn't make much sense either. Wes/Wentz was better than their last match. Jaida and Lola's tag match made sense but wasn't going to be great.

NXT's just not in a good spot now. They spent too long on the Trick/Melo/Ija saga then Melo and ilja go drafted. They have too many people and the roster keeps getting bigger and bigger. They basically need to create a 2nd NXT at this point. The women have potential to rival AJW's '86 class as the best women's class ever but at this rate, it will be 2027 before they even get on the show regularly. The men aren't looking as promising and people like OTM, Hank and Tank, Myles Borne, Dupont/Igwe, Keanu Carter, Javier Bernal and others are also probably waiting for chances that won't come.

I admittedly haven't seen much of him, but everything I've read, I don't get it. He kinda seems like the hokey, unbelievable gimmick that everybody in 2024 sees through.

Like it seems like the type of shit Vince insisted on booking in the early 90s and late 2010s that just didn't get over. And that stuff can get over in NXT, but it has a quick shelf life on the main roster.

He is left over from that hostile takeover NXT rebrand, but it’s to his credit that he survived and gets good reactions and is now a champion.

Yeah I dunno. You just look at gimmicks like that and think of Elias, the Vaudevillains, Adam Rose, The Ascension, Pretty Deadly, etc.

Now here's some hard hitting news. :amazed:

from Wednesday's pwinsider.com:

There was a fan incident at the NXT hotel last night, PWInsider.com has learned. We are told that a male fan was allegedly caught trying to take photos of the feet of female talent as they made their way through the hotel and was ejected not once, but twice from the location.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe this is just an angle and Triple H is bringing back Gene Snitsky ????

Every gimmick in 2024 is seen through. Being hokey is what makes it work and why the fans love him.

NXT is also a pretty campy show overall. It's not out of place with all the other over the top characters.

At least two people have been killed in kayfabe in NXT.
Three. Pretty Deadly and Gulak

Also, do we assume Roddy died from his injuries since he never returned?
