WWE Money in the Bank (2018)/NXT TakeOver: Chicago Thread
- Thread starter jdoggivjc
- Start date
AJ Styles wins after a punt to Shinsuke's junk and then a Phenomenal Forearm through an announce table.
Candidate? Sure. But I can name at least 5 NXT matches that were better (Gargano-Almas, North American title ladder match, Gargano-Ciampa I, Ricochet-Velveteen Dream, Gargano-Ciampa II)
Great take. Vince is still majorly hard for hulk hogan/Batista/Randy Orton BS.
I would love it if the YB’s did a gimmick where they were oiled up and their hair so wet all of the time.
It's funny. You would think HHH, being one of those guys and benefitting from that line of thinking, woudl be of like mind - and yet he's not. Sure, some big guys have dominated NXT, but then you've had guys like Almas, Undisputed Era (all of whom could qualify for the Cruiserweight division - well, if Cole lost 5 lbs), Ricochet, Velveteen Dream, and the entire Women's Division that are dominant.
I really can't wait until Haitch takes over for Vince. It will be a new era.
Kofi Kingston will be repping New Day in the match (and obviously will do the bat-bleep crazy stuff)
Watching that WWE 24 on the Hardys - holy hell their lives were messed up around 2010-11.
I knew Jeff's life was messed up (that match with Sting was a pretty big clue-in), but I didn't realize Matt was just as bad, if not worse.

I'm fine with Braun as he's been pretty damn consistently entertaining as of late. However, his character didn't need to get it. Would have liked seeing what Finn or Roode could do with their character and the briefcase.
The latest from the “Better everyone assume you’re a fool instead of posting on Facebook and removing all doubt” department:
Wow. How are people that stupid. NXT is a developmental brand for the Performance Center. No **** most of the young wrestlers are coming from NXT. And before that they came from FCW, and before that they came from DSW or OVW. I can imagine this tool saying “but John Cena and Brock Lesnar didn’t fight in NXT.” First, NXT didn’t exist back then, second, they wrestled in a similar place called OVW.
I know it shouldn’t, but the stupidity of people on social media floors me.

I've always in my head thought NXT was like the minor leagues to the RAW/Smackdown brands. It's a great place to build/develop characters and have its own storylines.
It’s not a minor league it’s more of an acclimation league. There’s a big difference in day to day from today the indy’s (and roh) to wwe both in terms of production/training/and ring expectations.
It’s both. For guys like Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, and most recently Kyle O’Riley, Bobby Fish, and Adam Cole, it’s an “acclamation league”. These guys know wrestling on the big stage and for a TV audience from wrestling at NJPW, ROH, and TNA, but need to attune their craft to the WWE style. Then there’s people like Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, and most recently Velveteen Dream who had little (Banks and Dream) to no (Flair) independent experience before signing with WWE. For these it’s very much a “minor league”, a place to learn and develop their craft.
