AOP REALLY need to wrestle in their gear
Compared to Nakamura, Joe, Roode, KENTA, KANA, Io Shirai, Chris Hero
not really. and especially not as a name in tag team wrestling

Leave that man alone. He's gotta do something for money. Not like he's getting a main event bonus any time soon.

Yea they're not bad. It was smart putting Ellering with them. he's a great mouth piece for them. I'd actually like to see managers make a comeback. I really do miss the days of Bobby the Brain, Mr Fuji, Jim Cornette. Mangers are very useful for getting guys over who may not be that great on the mic. That's why it's a shame to see them so rare now.
And still better than Hunter in his prime.
HHH? I thought it was other people who got HHH over......that and knowing HE WAS GOING OVER.
Don't worry cupcake, if Big Show can last this long, so can you.

There are a lot of reasons why Itami is struggling on NXT. He was out so long he really lost all momentum. His body is broken from how long he was in NOAH. His style and moves were used by a lot of very popular people like Bryan, CM Punk etc in the past.
It sucks because he is a great wrestler. Just a lot of unfortunate things happened to him.

I do agree. Lose the scarves and the look good. The scarves just make them look silly.

Some of the stories/matches on the past takeover have been one of the high points of the entire existence of nxt.

I just disagree with the implication that NXT can't tell good stories because they are signing indie guys. Seems like a weird hill to stand on.
Also Dunne and Bate had a good story in and Dunne has done good character work.
Yeah just seems i caught him when his body is ruined and he is going down hill compared to how he was.

AoP have always received too much hate. The only bad thing they've done is using a torture-rack as a rest hold.
HHH loves Japanese and Indie stars to the extent that he's butcher developmental for them.

Cool because that's all they'll get to do after this if they break up.

That is without a doubt one big ass ladder. I don't think I've ever seen a bigger ladder that wasn't just for decoration.

Ok. I forgot about that one.
When he was in NOAH and ROH he was booked as a killer. He hit harder than anyone else and could endure the best his opponents had to offer. Top 5 wrestler in the world maybe 10 years ago. Now he's sort of boring because he's not booked the same way. He isn't a flippy dude like the other cruiserweights and he won't be booked as a killer due to his size. There's nothing unique about him in WWE. I thought he did ok tonight though. Struck with an aggression you don't usually see in a WWE ring. Maybe build something around that?
Hideo can be a great wrestler but we haven't seen enough of him to say whether he'll succeed in NXT. Plus there's the worry that has ultra physical style has fucked his body to the point where he just can't wrestle as well as he used to. His matches against Daniel Bryan, Low Ki and Marufuji are some of the best I've ever seen.

I remember a old WWE PPV with the Big Show in a ladder match. He had the biggest and heaviest ladder I've seen used. It was so heavy he was barely able to get it in the ring and no one bothered taking it down the rest of the match.
22 and 24.

Yea. Those belts do look kind of low. Just realized that myself when they tried climbing the ladder. And why would both of you climb the ladder? That's just stupid.

i hope we get a spot with no ladder in the ring but one of aop picks up one of diy and they try getting the belts
i remember brooklyn too when they teased a diy turn on each other but it never came

22 and 23. One did mma and the other was a Olympic wrestler.
