I know, she just looks old lol I don't really see that in Zoey. Maybe it's because no one compares to Kay Lee Ray in looking 20 years older than they really are.

I thought that this week's show had some fun stuff and Bron is pretty damn awesome, but it felt like this was a week where they were just throwing as much new crap against the wall as possible to see what sticks. In all honesty, it was a bit much for me, way too many new(ish) people to keep track of at once.

Bron and Gigi are easily my favorites from this next class/wave of talent

Geezers? I thought all the new talents were under 30. You don't have to be old, to be a "geezer" over here. They said it couldn’t be done. They said nobody could ever combine the athleticism of a young Scott Steiner with the charisma of Big Pappa Pump, yet Rick did it. That son of a gun did it. Rick better double check that the Big Bad Booty Daddy wasn’t slipping in the back door while he was out. Bron reminds me way more of Scott. Yeah, if you told me he was a Steiner, I'd say he was Scott's boy, not Rick's. He looks, sounds and acts more like Scott... Just waiting for him to ask for the "mother ing mic", now. Had to start the show late. That ... was awful. OK... See you next week.

It's a fun watch, but something still feels really off to me that I can't quite put my finger on. I think it's just adjusting to all the changes they're throwing at us. Every segment was "here's someone you've never seen before" and it's a bit hard to keep up. There's also too many squash matches but I'm sure that will simmer once all the newer guys are more established.
Bron is a star though. Would not shock me to see him fast tracked and in a Wrestlrmania main event in the next few years like Brock was.

He has the wrestling ability of Rick and early Scott and the charisma of Big Poppa Pump! He is an automatic star!

I would much rather see Bron Brakker have a slower rise to the top, go for the North American title then the NXT championship, hot shotting someone to the title is not always necessary.

I still dig it. Yeah you can already tell the in ring stuff isn't going to be nearly what it once was, Kushida-Strong made that pretty clear. They did that whole match in about 2nd gear. Not a huge deal. I've got AEW, NJPW, ROH, the x-division in Impact to watch crazy awesome in ring focused matches/products. This shift makes more sense for the industry as a whole, makes it more likely guys from NXT will find success on Raw/SD, and keeps WWE in 'their lane' while the other guys (all of them) stay in their lanes. If you interpret that as an insult to any company, then you aren't understanding what I mean. People watch wrestling for different reasons, and lots of wrestling fans really don't care that much about the in ring stuff. In ring action is my favourite and 100% what drew me into wrestling as a kid, but that doesn't mean I don't really enjoy the other stuff too. I have enjoyed these past 2 weeks of NXT far more than anything during Kross' run, where I literally just stopped watching for like 2 months because I lost all investment into it.
Steiner is a freaking star, holy crap. Like we knew the genetic gun was loaded, but the guy just has 'it'. Hot shotting someone is definitely not always necessary, but I can really see the justifiable temptation to do it with Steiner. The whole narrative has been 'create a new star, create a new star'. They just did. Run with it. Let him iron out the kinks over the next little while, then shoot him "To Tha Mooooon" on the main roster. Hell, you could use him as the guy to beat Roman, not joking.
I'm really digging this kind of psychotic Cruel Intentions Mandy Rose faction. Gigi looked weird as hell with some of her facial expressions and they didn't really work, but that'll come with time.
I'm also really excited about this Italian mafia dude. I have a whole half sleeve dedicated to the tunnels of Moose Jaw and the whole Capone/prohibition theme, so I did old timey gangster themes. If I understand right he comes from an amateur wrestling background right? That should bode well.
This feels a lot like early 90's RAW. In a great way. Lots of fun.

I'm still liking the new NXT too. I like seeing some fresh faces.
I agree with a lot of other posters here, Steiner is pretty good already. I think he'll be a big star.
I'm not feeling Joe Gacy's new character though. Hopefully it will go somewhere.
I was happy to see Cora Jade back on TV. Hopefully she'll get a program with someone, or at least get TV matches more regularly.

I saw CNN, Fox News, and Yahoo picked up on it and knew it was only a matter of time in this current climate.

Well the last cancel culture gimmick was Joey Ryan. Can't age worse than that one

I'm digging what Andre Chase is doing, and largely just for the possibility of all of those Chase University segments ending him with flinging a chair across the room in frustration. I want a wrestling character inspired by Bobby Knight and this could be that (and whether it's intentional or not his little boy haircut just adds to his character).

B-Fab's Kendo Stick shot bounced off Elektra's backside and hit her instead
