Dindeleux Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Here are the spoilers for the debut night - they filmed 3 shows in one night apparantly This is very much HHH's little project/baby. Have to say I'm looking forward to it Match results in the spoilers Triple H came out and cut a promo. Hunter thanked Full Sail for use of their facilities and said the first episode will air in more than 60 countries. (No date was given.) EPISODE #1 TAPING Jim Ross and William Regal were introduced on commentary. JR introduced the new GM of NXT, Dusty Rhodes. (1) Bo Dallas (Rotundo) beat Rick Victor with a spear. (2) The Ascension (Connor O'Brian & Kenneth Cameron) beat C.J. Parker & Mike Dalton in a squash tag match. Ascension had an epic entrance and were impressive. Damien Sandow refused to fight Jason Jordan. It was the same promo from his Smackdown appearances. Damien was over as a heel; funny stuff. (3) Tyson Kidd beat Michael McGillicutty via submission. Great match that captivated the crowd and had plenty of nearfalls. Kidd won with a leg choke. After a brief intermission, a video aired and they shot the crowd to lead into what can be assumed to be the second episode. EPISODE #2 TAPING William Regal left commentary for this episode and was replaced by Byron Saxton. (1) Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black) beat Jiro. This was essentially a squash. Rollins cut a promo promising to take NXT, WWE, and the world by storm. (2) Jinder Mahal beat Jason Jordan via submission with the Camel Clutch. Boring match as indicated by the crowd chants. (3) Leo Kruger beat Aiden English. Quick and effective establishing Aiden as a face and Kruger as a heel. Post-match, Leo talked about himself on the mic, calling himself the LEO (Lion) of NXT. So, watch out. (4) Richie Steamboat beat Rick Victor with a big lariat. Richie wrestles a lot like his dad, Ricky Steamboat, who was ringside watching. Richie gave him a shout-out after the match. (5) Antonio Cesaro beat Dante Dash. Afterward, Aksana declared, "Antonio is my lover!" (6) Derrick Bateman beat Johnny Curtis. Comedy match with lots of running around. End of episode. On to Superstar Showdown or the third NXT taping. It wasn't clear. EPISODE #3 TAPING Jim Ross remained on for this taping. (1) WWE tag champion R-Truth beat Epico. Fun match. Truth won with the Little Jimmy. (2) Sofia Cortez (Ivelise from Tough Enough) beat Paige. (3) Seth Rollins beat Camacho (w/Hunico) after a standing foot stomp. Heels attacked Rollins post-match until Bo Davis made the save. Of note, Rollins did not use his FCW Hvt. Title at either taping. (4) FCW tag champions Jake Carter & Corey Graves beat C.J. Parker & Nick Rogers. Again, the titles were not mentioned. (5) Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero) beat Mike Dalton. Due to Hero's long beard, a "Let's Go Jesus" chant caught on loudly. Post-match, Ohno said he knocks people out and when people see him, they say, "Oh no!" Leo Kruger came out again and the audience sighed. People were leacing at this point due to not knowing much of the talent. A whole section became spotty and empty. A "We Want Sheamus" chant broke out. (6) Richie Steamboat beat Leo Kruger. The match ended abruptly after Richie hit a nasty gusher. Post-match, Kruger attacked Richie to good heat. Richie was carried out. (7) Jinder Mahal beat Derrick Bateman via submission with the Camel Clutch. Jinder got really good shine tonight. He reapplied his finisher after the match until refs separated them. Byron Saxton is off the booth and now Jack Russo and William Regal have joined Ross. ( Ascension beat The Usos. Wow, that's an upset. It's not clear how many episodes they're up to now, but this is dragging badly, and not because of the wrestling. (9) Bray Wyatt beat Aiden English. Husky Harris's new act is fantastic. (10) Hunico & Camacho & Michael McGillicutty beat Tyson Kidd & Seth Rollins & Bo Dallas in a six-man tag match. McG avenged his loss against Kidd from earlier in the taping. (11) World Hvt. champion Sheamus beat Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Hvt. Title. Sheamus won with the Brogue Kick in a good house show-style title match. That was the end of the taping. They announced they will return next month after taping a month's worth of NXT in one night. A lot of these guys have made a huge impact in under 3 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Thought the episode was piss poor this week. I think Bayley and Emma are rotten so that did not appeal one bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Really good episode this week for different reasons. Itami vs Neville was excellent Balor vs Breeze was good Itami vs Balor was very good The highlight though by far was the 20 minute Itami documentary following his journey backstage at Wrestlemania. WWE are excellent at this stuff and was clear to see how much it meant to him especially after he is eliminated from Battle Royal and then you see him walking to the back and breaking down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just coming on to post the same thing. Three good matches (the first one in particular) and a good documentary about Itami's big day out at Wrestlemania - all very enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Really enjoyed the above documentary on NXT. Surprised it isn't on the network yet. Any news on Itami and Zayn both being out injured? Itamis was originally reported at being out for 6 months? Also - who was the new fella that Regal was signing up on this weeks NXT? Didn't recognise him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophe Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I am so so pleased for Uhaa, he is BRILLIANT. Try and find his match vs BxB Hulk for the Dragon Gate title from march and watch the post-match bit where the entire roster comes out to tell him how happy they are for him. Tozawa in tears, it is heartrending. You can pretty much seek most of his DG stuff to find the best of him, his job is more to act as the charismatic base for some of the flippy guys and toss them about but he does is SO WELL. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAGer Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I guess we're expecting a total massacre from Owens on the special? Good way to write him out. Maybe won't be the most technical match but I'm still looking forward to it if that's the case. Watching Owens brutalise someone is good on its own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
