After reading that he got beat down yet again on NXT, its got me wondering what they're doing with him.
Are they stripping him down to nothing only for him to be built back up (See the Radicalz, Y2J, etc as examples) or is the booking staff crapping on yet another "indie darling"( which BTW he isn't )?
I was just hoping to gain a bit of perspective from you guys on this matter. I would like to think this is leading somewhere vs creative not knowing what to do with him, which isn't very creative at all.

I was thinking the same thing at first but...to be fair...
He's been getting beat up by two much larger guys who also held the NXT tag titles FOREVER. Also, he did get a victory a couple weeks ago even if the match and finish was trash.
It'll be interesting to see where it goes. It's different I guess having a singles star come in and get thrown right into a feud with a tag team. I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Itami said on Thursday that he is bringing a friend with him next week to even the odds. So expect another debut next week.

The video from next weeks NXT had been online but was since pulled. Trust me, it's good

Well I did not expect to come in here and Val's naked arse.
I'm not sure what's going on & who he brings next week.

Absolutely senseless to get upset about Hideo Itami's booking thus far. He's a tiny guy getting outnumbered by a big tag team who get frustrated that he's better than both of them... And it's setting up the intro of his new partner to beat that tag team on the next special. He hasn't even lost a match yet, has he?
And on top of that, NXT isn't a place for him to become a star and dominate everyone, it's a place for him to adjust and learn -- and going by his shoddy performances so far, that's exactly what he needs to avoid becoming another Sin Cara on the main roster.

He is teaming with Devitt soon right? So I expect that to lead to something.

I wasn't/am not upset about it at all. I was just wondering if they're stripping him down like they did Jericho and Co. because of his background and fan base. Vince has done it before and I was just thinking about it. Hope the clarification helps. |

I thought I read recently how WWE was "impressed/happy" with how Itami's been adapting to their style since joining NXT.
I dunno, it sure didn't look that way in his last match.

Based on the spoilers I'd say that he is doing some real solid stuff! This Thursday it all gets REALLLLLLL!

Itami has done nothing for me so far. As far as I'm concerned he should sit in NXT for a year or two. Learn English. And WWE style of wrestling.
Absolutley no feelings on his partner next week either. I am yet to even see his face on a WWE program , yet people are already sucking his ass. Just like they did to KENTA who has been underwhelming to say the least.

Just like they did to KENTA who has been underwhelming to say the least. You gotta realize how different the style he's been working for 10 years is to WWE. It's not like the indy guys who work a similar, albeit exaggerated, style as WWE wrestling. He hasn't been great on NXT because he's not just taking it down a notch on his stiffness, he's basically trying to shut off what he knows and start from scratch. KENTA is easily one of the world's top talents, it'll just take some time. Devitt should have absolutely no problems adapting much faster. |

I actually did watch one indy match of his vs Bryan and the technical stuff blew my mind. I just really don't wana see him rushed to the main roster. Imagine how good this guy will be if gets better daily in NXT for the next year? Oh man. |

When he'll make his WWE debut, I'm sure he'll have a feud for the IC title.
