I always get quite excited for these NXT specials. I work tonight, so I won't be able to watch it live. But I'll avoid spoilers all night and watch when I get home. My biggest hope is that Sasha wins the Title. If she walks out with the belt, I'm happy.

I am also interested in seeing Kevin Owens. I saw a few youtube clips of this guy and wasn't too impressed. The clips were just countdowns of moves he's done. To me, he looks like a fat guy with skinny legs. But he has a lot of hype with him, so maybe the youtube clips don't do him justice. I'm interested to see him on future NXT shows. Hopefully, as soon as next week.

Caught some of the pre-show for R-Evolution. Corey Graves announced his retirement from in-ring competition and also announced that he's joining the NXT broadcast booth. He is already the second best announcer on the pre-show panel as both Albert and Alex Riley suck total ass. The NXT announce booth usually isn't that great either. Corey could become the voice of NXT quite easily if he makes the attempt.

Hopefully, he doesn't fall for the same traps that the old KO did.

Ok, having actually watched a Kevin Owens match, I'd like to retract my previous statement about not being impressed. The youtube clip I saw of him didn't do him justice. I still think he's overhyped by the indy marks, but that's true for any internet darling. It is going to be very fun to watch Kevin Owens though.

It was kind of odd to see him bleed in a match against CJ Parker. Parker is shit. Parker got way too much offense. Kevin should have squashed that guy. Could have been worse. Could have been Mojo!

WWE Universe is going to be robbed if we do not get a Finn Balor WrestleMania entrance like that! I've read about his cosplay style entrances. That was awesome!

Full Sail is very close to the Impact Zone. Those Impact Zone guys haven't had a show in a very long time. Maybe some of them migrated? :lol:

He totally should have done that. Great match.

"Show us your tits"? Really, Full Sail?

That fucking ending. What a fantastic show from top to bottom. I'm so happy for Sami Zayn. I can't wait until he goes one one with Kevin Owens in an NXT ring.

I am really disappointed that Sasha didn't win the title. But that match though! A suicide dive from Sasha. A top rope moonsault from Charlotte. A spear from Charlotte. It was all so great. I love me some Sasha, but I hope she gets to stay down in NXT for at least another year, because there is no way she'd be able to have matches like that on the main roster. The Divas haven't had that athletic of contest in a very long time. Too busy promoting Total Divas.

There is absolutely no doubt that Sami Zayn owns Full Sail. They loved him. Absolutely loved him. But I still doubt he'll be able to translate that popularity to the bigger WWE audience when he gets called up. If I'm wrong and he connects as well as he has at Full Sail, then I'll gladly say I was wrong. But with the growing number of failed NXT call ups, and Sami's own size and stature...I just don't think he'll make it higher than IC/US Title. Unless he can get a Daniel Bryan type reaction from the crowd.

That match though! The ending was especially fantastic. The fans in attendance got to orgasm with Sami. If they ended the show there, with the massive in ring celebration, the Neville/Sami hug, and the amazing crowd reaction, if it ended like that it would have been fantastic. But the Kevin Owens attack just tipped it over to a whole new level of awesome. That powerbomb onto the side of the ring! How did he not break Sami's back? I know I said above that I wasn't impressed when I watched a youtube clip of Kevin Owens, but I fully retract that. In one night, I'm already a fan.

I am not sure what Kevin's attack does for Adrian Neville though. Is he just out of the title picture just like that? Would anyone take him seriously in a title rematch when they know the payoff is Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn?

All in all, this was a fantastic showing from NXT. I honestly don't think TLC stands a chance in comparison. WWE is marketing it as their "demolition durby" which means it's just going to be a night of crash TV. A bunch of big bumps and dangerous spots.

It's a fabulous new day, yes it is!
Kevin Owens finally debuted? Guess I might have to renew my subscription to the WWE Network then.

Sadly, the time I was subscribed to the Network, I hardly used it at all. Now I might renew since Rumble time is getting close and maybe catch up with NXT, despite the shows airing on tv in my country.

I don't remember if you had to sign up for 6 months, but that's no longer the case. You can sign up for one month at a time. So, theoretically, you could just wait a few months to let your favorite show build up multiple episodes, purchase for 1 month, watch all those episodes, cancel, and repeat. :shrug:

Although, I love my WWE Network subscription and won't be cancelling it anytime.

When I signed, I picked the monthly payment of 12.99 a month because I wanted to avoid that 6-month commitment and I only wanted to see SummerSlam and then be done with it until the Rumble kicks in. Ended up with two months because I forgot to cancel at the time. But yes, I'm aware of it being 9.99 now with the option of canceling at any time.

F4WOnline reports that there is said to be a lot of frustration on WWE's main roster after Thursday's NXT Takeover: R Evolution event.

There's a feeling on the main roster that the NXT Superstars and Divas aren't making WWE money but the main roster is and the NXT talents aren't any better in the ring than the main roster stars but the NXT crew is having better matches because they're getting better opportunities as far as in-ring work and creative goes.

KO would never be allowed to do that on the main roster, since I am pretty sure they'd claim it was too close to Orton's hanging DDT. But, damn, if it isn't fun to watch.

It's a mix of both, I guess. There is a lot of recaps, but there are a few new things. Curtis Axel gets a promo with...hey. Hey. Pay attention. Seriously, he's not that boring! Oh, ok. Fine! And I believe Charlotte and Sasha have a rematch.

Bryan Alvarez noted recently that Adrian Neville's "Mighty Mouse" gimmick would not involve a costume but the idea is more in line with someone like Crash Holly. The "Mighty Mouse" idea is just to say that he's small but strong and doesn't ever quit going. Either way, apparently he won't be called up anytime soon as ideas have been thrown around like a Neville vs. Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn triple threat match.

Curtis Axel is expected to spend significant time down in NXT and he will likely have a relatively big role there.

That sounds like as good of a gimmick for Adrian Neville as you could hope. A relatively small guy that won't back down from a fight. Crash Holly got over with it. Hardcore Holly got over with it. It could work for Adrian. As long as they do any costumes or masks.

And why must they downgrade NXT with Curtis Axel. We already have Bull Damsey, Mojo Riley (I think), CJ Parker (If Owens didn't kill him), and several other horrible acts!

Bull Damsey is fine. As for the others, even NXT needs jobbers.

Oh yeah, nothing is as exciting as seeing Bull Damsey and Baron Corbin work the same 40 second and 12 second matches ever single week, huh? I wanted to add Baron to the list, but damn if that entrance doesn't save him. It feels like something epic is happening every time I see him slowly walk between the shadows and those circles of light. And then the bell rings and the crowd starts chanting and I have forgotten that this is basically going to be a 2 move match because, damn it, I am counting too. And then these two guys stare at each other after the match and I remember that we have seen this exact same thing multiple times. At least they mixed it up by having Bull shove Baron the last time.

There is a difference between a slow burn and stalling to the point that interest is lost. These guys should have wrestled at the last Network special.

I am very surprised they gave away Corbin vs Bull on free tv a normal weekly episode. I thought they were slowly building towards a match on the next Network Special. I suppose they could have another match and trade victories setting up the need for a third match on the next Special. But after watching this match, I'm kind of glad it wasn't on the last Network Special. This wasn't a good match. I am not a fan of Bull at all. Corbin has a cool entrance, but lacks in a few key areas. Also, it won't be much longer until he'll have to change hair styles. His hair is getting a little thin on top for that long hair to look cooler for much longer. Sadly, my hair is similar although not nearly as thin. I feel your pain, Corbin. You are not completely alone, little wolf. But, yeah, I expect them to trade victories and Bull to win the next one.

The crowd got surprisingly quiet when KO attacked Zayn. Not sure if that's because they were intimidated by his presence. If they just aren't familiar with him. If they aren't buying him as the top heel of the promotion. If they just haven't had time to warm up to him. Or if they were just drained by the taping schedule. But I found it strange how quiet they got after that powerbomb.

The Zayn vs. Neville rematch was the last thing on that set of tapings. Guessing the crowd was just kind of burnt out. I was hoping Owens would get more heat though.
