supposedly H's is a huge fan of Rollins. Prob why he's getting so much and been pretty much put as the #1 heel in the company right now. i love it.
for all the crapH's gets, he's making up for it by putting out a fantastic "developmental"

They set the bar so high, The main roster is going to look amateur during TLC.

If you haven't checked out NXT from last night you are doing yourself a HUGE disservice. That show was full of everything that is missing from today's main roster. As said from top to bottom the whole show was outstanding. For those that want to check out Finn's epic entrance: Can you imagine when he has his first WrestleMania match what kind of entrance and gear he will have? Holy crap... i watch that special and i cant possibly figure out how these shows are from the same company legitimate question. who books and makes the decisions for NXT and how it's presented? because it's ing fantastic in every way. the matches are good, the gimmicks are awesome, the entrances are awesome. honestly the only thing that i really don't like is that ring announcer sucks, and they still do the HORRIBLE camerawork with a million quick zooms and shaky-cam all over the place. but man that was some excellent wrestling AND entertainment...because WRESTLING = ENTERTAINMENT if it wasnt for Rollins & Ambrose with some Ziggler & Cesaro sprinkled in I wouldn't even be watching RAW at this point. but yet NXT is ing incredible. its sad that most of those guys will either never make it to RAW/PPVs or when they do, they will just be there...like everyone else. I believe their camera people are Full Sail students, meaning they are very inexperienced with live broadcasting. I've done camerawork for several live events including sports and its very difficult. Add in the inexperience factor and its understandable why it isn't the best. Hopefully it improves some. It isn't like NXT is WRESTLE WRESTLE WRESTLE either. Yes, the work rate is high, but it still has characters and storylines and humor. Vaudevillains are hilarious, but they put on great matches too. NXT does a good job of balancing and I have no idea why it doesn't happen elsewhere.

I'm still trying to get to grips with the fact that Balor(hard to call him that still)grew up just 20 miles away from me....Jesus he is awesome.
I have been impressed with him for years but he is going to be way bigger than Sheamus IMO.

It's a good thing Hideo Itami had the humility and self-awareness to go to NXT, because man, he'd be a Sin Cara level flop if he went straight to main roster. Balor looked great though. Main event was awesome! And the Owens turn was brilliantly done, sets up the next chapter without missing a beat. There was nothing Sports Entertainment about NXT Takeover, pro wrestling at its finest. Lol. They're two terms for the exact same thing. I don't see how monster trucks, Unbeatable Banzuke and Ninja Warrior are like pro wrestling, but that's just me... WWE's version of pro wrestling fits into the category of sports entertainment but this show had all the hallmarks of exceptional pro wrestling IMO.

What are your perceived differences between "sports entertainment" and "pro wrestling"? I'm older than you. Lol I believe I gave examples of sports entertainment...by the way, I'm not starting anything, just observing.

The face of Sami Zayn when he saw Pat Patterson in the ring with the others congratulating him was awesome! He was like "Oh my God it's Pat Patterson!"

The fact that Itami, Balor and Owens get to "Too Sweet" with Triple H is one of the coolest things ever.

Add in the inexperience factor and its understandable why it isn't the best. Hopefully it improves some. then the WWE must have the same camera crew for RAW, SD & PPVs. because it's the same exact thing. zoom in zoom out zoom in quick cut shaky move zoom quick zoom in out in zoom up in zoom i miss about half the moves being done in each match because the camera is either moving around or zooming in on EVERY kick, punch, slam, dive. watch matches from 5-7-15 years ago. you can actually SEE the entire match. watch matches from the last 2+ years and it's enough to give you motion sickness. it's absolutely terrible and just about the single worst thing happening in this company right now.

/r/squaredcircle sent Triple H a fruit basket with a 'Thank You' note for R Evolution. That is literally the greatest thing ever. ..........So Hunter got the fruit basket. So thoughtful of Punk
