Slap a hammer lock on him Alex. That'll learn 'im

With all due respect, please piss off to a thread you're not trying to wind people up in.

It's the same tired abuse thrown at it. People enjoy it, so people watch it. Not hard is it.

Balor is great and that match was very good too. As was Zayn v Owens, though I do think they had even better in RoH.

In other news....

This was a show of two halves. The first half was largely forgettable, the second half producing some fine wrestling. In the end, we established that Finn Balor is more than ready to join the main roster but for selfish reasons, I'd rather Vince didn't get his hands on him.

Who's watching the NXT Special?

Fan made, but how brilliant would it be...

Why in the blue hell are they not going for Taker vs Sting.
Thats the match us Wrestling nerds want to see. Yes it'd be slow and boring but the pantomime surrounding it would be awesome viewing.

NXT is basically a glorified indie fed working in the wwe style now, what with PAC (Adrian Neville), KENTA (Hideo Itami), El Generico (Sami Zayn), Kevin Steen (Owens) et al in there. Great roster, not sure how many of them will do well when called up though.

You do know that you really don't need the wwe network to watch all that though?

As for 'Mania, honestly that possible card has me rather worried.

Sting is proper old now and gets gassed pretty fast in the ring, him v HHH will not be a classic by any means. Bray v Taker is a booking nightmare (if Taker makes it, I wouldn't be surprised if it's Kane instead), Bray has to go over there but doing so in the next match after the streak was broken destroys the impact of that. Lesnar v Reigns will just be ugly, I remember Lesnar v Goldberg and it was not pretty.... better than Lesnar v Bryan though which just isn't believable. They'll have to turn Reigns for that too as Lesnar will get cheered. Ascension just outright suck and should not be at WM. In wrestling terms only Ambrose v BNB and Bryan v Ziggler sound at all good to me out of those.

You forgot your main man Finn Balor aka Prince Devitt aka the founder of NJW Bullet club.
Zayn, Ballor and Steen are the 3 that are more likely to make an impact at the top end of the card when they graduate to the main show. I hope Neville makes an impact too but his Geordie accent is terrible

I thin the important question is, did pabs grooming bare any fruit?

Glorified indie is a bit harsh. I don't think Neville and Devitt did American indies, I know PAC did a shot of PWG. Young Bucks rejected a WWE contract and they are far better than anything on Raw and Smackdown. Imagine them on NXT as well. Coming down from New Japan, ROH, PWG would be a step down for them imo.

But it is a great roster if you add in my man, Tyler Breeze and the odd appearance from Tyson Kidd. Someone like Adam Cole or Jay Brisco would do well

[MrShawnMichaels]

Currently the Wrestlemania card looks something like this in my opinion...

Lesnar v Reigns
Sting v HHH
Bray v Taker
Bryan v Ziggler
Ambrose v Bad News
Andre Memorial BR
Ascension v Usos

Plus one of Goldust v Stardust or Miz v Mizdow.

**** card. But that's what it is looking like at the moment though Bryan in the play off at FastLane changes things.

I had a dream I met Undertaker last night.

Was cool.
