Senex Beast Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Ember completly breaking character during Asuka's farewell speech was a huge mistake imo. Could have gone out and offer a handshake while being serious instead of clapping, laughing, smiling and hugging Asuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E#37 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Kairi probably get's the championship at Brooklyn IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willows Way Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Its most def gunna be Shayna vs Ember again and Shayna will prob win which sucks balls. But it does set up Kairi/Shayna 3 i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Don't act like you always contribute in conversations. Sometimes you post simple little things as well. Kairi and Shayna has been fine so far. Yeah they're booking could get messed up too but you made it seem like it was a given that the next champion would be messed around with as well Actually, I didn't. If you took it that way then that is your own problem. I am just laying out possibilities. Possibilities that could very likely happen. Just ignore him, Kombatant. Anyways, I wish Shayna had just beat Ember and sent her ass to Smackdown or whatever. She has to win it now. If you look at Ember's career path you can see why it would never work. She should've just gotten called up after losing to Asuka for the second time. She proved that she couldn't beat the champ and had to wait till she left to become champion. Add to that her character or lack there of, and her not so great promo skills and you have a recipe for failure. No actually, you see the difference here is that I am inviting more on-topic discussion. That is literally all I was doing, I wanted Kombatant to explain himself so we can talk about it. What you did was pick on Ziggy over his words for no other reason than you wanted to be a dick to someone. It was completely off topic. Reported. Again, hopefully this time your continuous flame baiting is acted upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The thing that killed Ember was how she handled her initial loss to Asuka. They tried to make her seem more human and emotional, and I understand their line of thinking, but the execution was brutal. Ended up coming off like a "woe is me" teenager rather than a grown woman. Exactly. I was already somewhat iffy on Ember from the start. Her entrance starts off as dark, brooding and mysterious; and then when her music hits, she's all smiling and rilling up the crowd and stuff. Ideally, I'd like it if Ember was a bit more stoic and less animated. It's hard to deny Ember's ring skills, though. I think she's at the very top of all women in the company right now.

Lil' Kazu Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 I think she's a bit overrated in the ring, to be honest. She can do cool moves and is clearly on the upper echelon when it comes to women in WWE's rosters but I felt since day one that her fundamentals aren't that good. I thought her second Asuka match was really good but wasn't as enamoured with it as some people were, the first match I thought was just good, some people thought it was great. Besides those two matches I don't recall anything else she did that caught my eye. I'm sure she had good matches in the indies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepia Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The first promo after Ember lost to Asuka. One of the worst things I've seen on NXT. Completely ruined Ember's mystique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGPLX. Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I thought Moon/Baszler was a good match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St★rstruck Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I don't think the match was bad, nor was it good. Ember did a good job of selling, but I felt like the match dragged out a bit too long and the chemistry just wasn't all there. I wouldn't doubt it if their second match is a lot better, though. Also, just when I thought the Women's division in NXT was about to pick back up, it hits a low point yet again after the Wargames show. It really just feels like Ember, Shayna and Kairi are the whole division at this point with others like Belair and Evans having random squash-like matches every other week. The absence of the Iconic Duo and Nikki Cross not doing a whole lot hasn't made the division enjoyable - and personally, Ember as champion just doesn't make it any better to me.

Counting Lights Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think we might be getting a soft reboot of the division post Mania callups. I fully expect Iconic Duo, Sanity and if she loses the belt, Ember to be called up on the RAW/SD after Mania, at which point we'll probably be seeing more of the MYC signees getting pushed. Kairi and Shayna are being set up as top face and heel respectively, and they are showcasing Bianca, Lacey and Candice more, they just need to show off a few more of the ladies.

Creepia Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ember/Shayna was alright up until they rolled around on the floor for 10 minutes that ended up in a roll-up. I feel like it was the worst NXT women's title match in a long long time, I don't even remember Bayley/Nia being that dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated her selling. But then again that wasn't totally her fault, the booking did her no favours. It really annoyed me when she hit the eclipse and wasn't able to move towards Baszler for the pin. Your arm hurts, not your legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmerc Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 OH BABY just a heads up: this came from a accidental facebook post on WWE's page which announced all the matches lol... so if you want to be surprised watch out for that!

St★rstruck Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Damn, that's not how I imagined the logo to look at all, lol. Thought it would be more bright and colorful like the 'Mania logo. I lik how NXT sort of have grungy/underground schemes for their show graphics and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logo is pretty cool, but generic looking for a themed specific logo which they usually do. Wish they had more New Orleans elements drawn in.

St★rstruck Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Same. I honestly can't say I really like it a whole lot. Should have definitely gone the route of making it a bit more colorful and madi gras themed for the city of NOLA, but w/e. The skull seems random to me.

Creepia Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Yeah it seems a little generic. Compare that to the Philly logo and it looks like some lame hard rock band's logo from Indiana or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I like the contrast to the colorful party time aspect of the Wrestlemania logo. NXT is where personal feuds have time to grow and breath where on the main roster its about putting on a spectical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
