NXT Discussion Thread (On FOX8, Kayo and Binge)

The Mighty Don't Kneel will be known as TM61 in WWE NXT. Mikey Nicholls will be known as Nick Miller while Shane Haste will go by the name Shane Thorne. They will make their official WWE NXT debut at tonight's TV Taping at Full Sail University and appeared earlier today in a video posted to the NXT Facebook page. The Tag Team name stands for Thorne Miller with 61 being a reference to the Australian area code.

If they had to change the name, I don't hate the new one to be honest.

I'll never understand how they come up with the new wrestler names haha

Anyone know how long it usually takes for the tapings to start airing?

 

[cheesedogg]

Lol I thought TM61 was a Pokémon reference & was about to Google what move it taught.

Now I'm just thinking about Pokémon moves that would be good names for wrestling moves.

Like Daniel Bryan's yes kicks could be renamed dragon rage.

Just checked and TM61 teaches Will-O-Wisp, not a bad name for a finisher but already used by Jeff Hardy.

Also, lost it for Shane mimmicking Graves hand gestures and calling Mike by his real name at the end.

The other dude seemed pretty nervous though

 

[JP Sauce]

"Mike says I have to go now."
"You mean Nick."
"Nick. That's what I said. Nick."

Hahaha

Spoiler: latest on Bailey from the Observer Newsletter

Bayley is being groomed for an NXT women’s title shot at the August Takeover show as the anniversary of her match with Banks. Right now it would be against Asuka, unless the decision is to go with Nia Jax winning.

 

[NSWCROW]

I'm on the bandwagon

 

[Brick Loosener]

Carmella's got a head like a robber's dog.

Nakamura awesome as always. Takeover should be awesome.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Teasers starting for Manny Andrade/La Sombra's debut (repackagaed as Andrade "Cien" Almas - Cien being the Spanish for 100 I believe, Almas seems to be the spanish for "Souls" So Andrade "100 Souls", maybe like a 100% Heart kind of thing?)

Has worked with Nakamura before in CMLL



Can't wait, loved the teaser.



One of his finishers- Brillante/Shadow/Sombra Driver



Edit: Found the translation for the commentary in the promo on Reddit, thanks to vmoreno.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, let's give a great welcome to one of the greatest stars of lucha libre !"


"Never in my life have I seen something like this man in lucha libre, [lucha libre/wrestling] will never be the same!"


"The entire world is on their feet [in saying] How insane [his spot/move was]!"


"This man defies gravity! If I hadn't seen him with my own eyes. I wouldnt believe it!"


"He's a superstar without fear, swimming in uncharted waters!"

 

[Cleavy]

Cool TMDK went the job... still a half decent match

 

[JP Sauce]

Do we need spoiler tags for NXT after it has "aired"?

Good tag match and triple threat main event. All three women looked good and Asuka vs Nia should be great.

No Way Jose was the star though!

 

[JP Sauce]

Oh and...

"I don't understand you."

"Yeah, me too."
