JGPLX. Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 It's not surprising that NXT is in a bit of a slump (if you can call it that), these things happen. You have highs and then you have lows. NXT is consistently very good so I still have faith even if my excitement has waned for the last couple Takeovers. The *censored*ing rematches though...

Creepia Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah the good thing about NXT is, even when it's in a slump the show is still consistently good. It might not be at its peak, but still good. Unlike RAW where it's just a damn slog to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Do the possible arrivals of several ROH free agents over the summer help NXT or is it not going to matter at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 It will help but NXT also needs the home grown talent to rise to the level. I believe NWJ and Almas can help that. You look at the first Brooklyn Takeover, sure you had Owens vs Balor but guys like Breeze and Corbin were just as important to the success of NXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willows Way Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Idk maybe it must be just me but i think NXT is great at the minute. Im looking forward to this Takeover just as much as Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone being new to you doesn't make that person homegrown. With that said, I don't give a *Censored* about the term nor do I believe it makes a difference.

GDAWG Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 NXT used to be all about having buzz in terms of roster additions. Roderick Strong and Kassius Ohno didn't get the same type of buzz that other signings have had. Signing someone like Adam Cole would give NXT that buzz again.

LEGION Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 The Authors of Pain are the only homegrown talent doing anything significant in NXT. Tye Dillinger too. Oh...and AoP > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yeah, Dillinger is pretty much homegrown himself, a relic from when OVW was developmental. Anyway, who's looking forward to the debut of Tommy End in NXT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 The only interesting thing about AoP, is that they have Ellering as a manager. Otherwise, they're worse than the Ascension. Just another attempt by WWE to make "the next big thing" tag team. I do think they will actually be prominently used on the main roster...because Vince loves his big dumb animals. But, if the Ascension had Ellering back when they were in NXT, they would have been far better. They'll get the main roster call-up, probably injure someone with their sloppy work, one of them will get injured himself, the other will be kept off tv because he's only relevant as part of a team...and that will be that.

Dude already powerbombed a dude onto another dude's face. Could have killed him... And Nia is sloppy as hell. She'll probably injure someone at Mania. I take nothing back for her either. She hasn't had too many matches yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
