I used to hate that dorky little shit but Dom is about as good as it gets right now. I'm crazy impressed with how he's bought into this character and amped it up. Even the little things are turning to gold. When Tiffany asked Liv if she takes the title, "does he come with it"?, his facial expression made the whole segment until shaking his head no once Liv looked at him.

I agree about Maxxine. She is grade A. Her, Chelsea Green, Rhea, Giulia, and Me could have a helluva time. Just saying.

That was an incredible call back in the Wyatt video from 2017 with Bo Dallas and miz “I promise to make you a star” - at least everything he does has a purpose and gives it so much more meaning.

Dom about to go Triple Heel somehow. He’s so Eddie it’s not even funny. He’s great.

Pretty cool they are using the old ECW theme for the NXT show tomorrow night.

Yep, that was really clever and well done.

I never knew that Dennis Condrey came back and feuded with the midnite express. That’s neat. Learned something new today!

That song takes me back. I miss the craziness of ECW.

Talk about an opening that got you fired up for the show - the weekly ecw opener was the best one I can remember.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

If Roxanne Perez starts acting like Francine I will approve

Repo man’s?

It was him and Randy Rose. If I am remembering correctly that happened just as Turner bought them. Cornette bled so much they put a no blood mandate on TV. Of course a couple of weeks later Dusty did the angle with the Road Warriors that got him fired.
The feud only lasted a couple of months because either Condrey or Rose got fired right before a PPV match.

 

[Strokin_Bandit]

Corny probably mixed himself a Tommy Rich cocktail before that bladejob.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Michael Hayes and Bruce Prichard placed on leave…

Hayes and Prichard will be back at some point per Sapp. Said both had "very personal family matters." Someone on reddit mentioned noticing on the last few podcast streams Prichard seemed to be intoxicated and the last one was so bad it was taken down. Don't know about all that but it sounds like Sapp knew more about both situations but wouldn't say. I don't think Prichard does much of anything there now but Hayes has been one of, if not the main producer on the Bloodline story.

That NXT setup looks awesome.

He was pretty damn trashed I heard it. Very slurred

Have to give it to AEW for using this header graphic tonight considering where NXT is running their show from. E-Drones getting triggered in 3,2,1

 

[Nightwish84]

Said it before but I love AEW doing promotion that way.

NXT won't be for everyone and they'll never reach the heights of black & gold again but I've really enjoyed the show lately. It can be sloppy in spots with occasional silliness (like the dumb brick spot tonight) but it flies by and the crowd is always into it. And Zaria (Delta) has the F5 as a finisher so yeah, Brock ain't coming back anytime soon if a woman in NXT is using his move.

 

[RMP82]

NXT is pretty damn good right now. I agree that it was best during the FCW/NXT but those guys and gals were a special type of talent who just needed the platform. Right now, NXT seems to be for all the fans. You get the indie workers but with a main stream production. I think it's a better version of what AEW is trying to do. Not trying to pit the two because I'm all for options. I think AEW production can improve but they just don't have the history of WWE when it comes to knowing the ins and outs. Their roster is more established so that helps make up for the lake. I'm happy for NXT and AEW even though I'm a WWE guy. I do think Raw and Smackdown will always be the big dogs and never touched.

Glad to see Powerhouse Hobbes back in the ring last night.

[Strokin_Bandit]

I do find it odd that these members from House of Black - including the founding father - are helping Adam Cole find his competitive edge again. The gimmick is up, I guess?

 

[Wesley91581]

Is Adam Cole ok?
His skin last week and this week look abnormally yellow.

I know he doesn’t work out a lot but hopefully he keeps his diet and health straight if nothing else.

Also I’m very very glad to see Guilia on tv.
