EJ! Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 i just watched the Fatal 5 Way segment and man that was fantastic. everybody’s time on the mic was well spent, but Adam Cole is on a different *censored*ing level, Kross is only one even close touching him and i would love a proper singles feud with them just for the promos. the only thing about Cole is i wish he would tone down the lil stutter thing he does before he begins his next point. Pete Dunne’s voice is not meant to convey emotion lmao. a mouthpiece would be great if he can’t learn how to liven up a little. NXT’s camera work is great. that shot of the super kick was so dope and hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeb ★ Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Yea that camera work was cool, I knew that Superkick was coming and it was still great lmao. Even timed my thigh slap exactly right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AONO. Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 just cought up with the last couple of weeks.... Cole is just another level in terms of presence and charisma. His promo game has been top notch these past year/year and a half. He speaks with so much confidence and conviction too. His promo with Kross even reminded me a bit of CM Punk and his heel run or ssomething when he yells at your face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senex Beast Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 Adam Cole really is on top of his game and the best that he's ever been or at least that I've seen. I was a fan then got bored and lost all interest but now he's very impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy. Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 In 1 week, someone new like Carmelo Hayes has showed more character so far than someone like Zoey Stark’s entire 6 month run lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperThinWalls Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I like Zoey Stark. I think she might be the most fundamentally-sound wrestler in her division. In terms of personality — yeah, she’s a bit plain, but I’m fine with that for now cause her in-ring work is her strength, so you play to that. As for Hayes, he didn’t really leave much of an impression on me on his first appearance (which is all I’ve seen of his work). His vignette was your usual scripted promo and his match was a normal modern crusierweight match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushy. Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I’m going to be biased because as a young black wrestling fan, I finally feel like I’m getting stable representation in mainstream professional wrestling. When I first started watching in 2007, all I had were guys like Mark Henry, MVP, Shelton Benjamin among others. Even a guy like Kofi Kingston I just never felt that “connected” to. I feel like I’m finally getting guys that look like me. Have a similar personality as me. A guy that could I could even model my wrestling CAW after. and everything you said about his debut to me is perfectly fine. That’s my favorite style even though I don’t watch 205 Live. He had good delivery besides generic scripting which means he’ll be able to deliver on promos in the future. He had natural charisma. I’m happy with the direction AEW & WWE are doing with the future of black wrestlers. Even with guys like Lio Rush & ACH I didn’t see that “it” factor in them like I do with a guy like Melo or Swerve.

Senex Beast Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Carmelo Hayes and Isaiah Scott are like caws you'll find on 2k community creations and that I'd download to use in my original caw show. That's not a bad thing though and so it's not a knock on then. They aren't amazing or anything but still fresh and entertaining with potential!

Oresama Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I'd rather see NXT vs. NXT UK for WarGames and leave both off Survivor Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestInTheWorld614 Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 I don’t think they need War Games, especially next year, I think the match needs to rest for a couple years or until a really good organic story. But I would love another Worlds Collide, that was a very good show imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeb ★ Posted June 16, 2021 Report Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm happy Joe's still in WWE. If getting cleared wasn't an issue he'd be an instant world champion in another company but if that's what keeping him from competing elsewhere then I like this role for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
