Bayley just gets it.
She could also just get it if you know what I mean.
I mean I'd like to have sexual relations with her, if that wasn't clear.

Good on Bayley. She's adorable.
Luckily, Balor's injury doesn't seem to be serious. He sprained his ankle doing the Coup de Grace.
I've always said that POS move was an ankle injury waiting to happen. Now it's just an ankle injury.
Honestly, it's a shame I don't love Finnegan Balor like y'all do, because he just radiates nice-guyness. I'd totally invite
him over to play D&D.; Well, World of Darkness. D&D; is the worst. But y'know. Tabletop roleplaying games. Which are a thing I can bet you real
money he'd be into.

We might not agree on much in regards to Balor, Fox, but we're in agreement on that. Really, I'm just kind of sick of that move in
general. The only person who can pull it off is Low Ki, and that's pretty much due to his lack of concern --and borderline disdain for-- his
opponents actual wellbeing.

Well, it looks suuuuuper cool if you come straight down with both feet on someone's hitbox. Like, goddamn.
But you can't do that, unless you're an asshole, because their precious giblets are in there. So you do what Balor does, and sorta land on
your butt next to them while kicking out toward their chest. It looks like bungus. And if you do it even slightly wrong, you're putting your
ankles and knees' weight on the uneven terrain that is the human torso.
The Slingblade should absolutely be Balor's finisher. It's sick as balls, lightning fast, and he can do it to anyone (a huuuuge
consideration for finishers that WWE often ignores -- Apollo crews new powerbomb is a good example). That they don't let him use the Blood
Sunday is somewhat baffling. It's just a suspended reverse DDT.

You're thinking of the reverse Bloody Sunday. He has done the standard version in NXT.

Yup. That's the one. Bloody, not Blood. That was a typo. Nice of him to honor the 1905 Moscow Massacre with his finisher's name. :-P
Awesome move, and looks pretty safe. Shame they don't let him rock that one.

So with Dash and Dawson defending their championship against Enzo & Cass at WWE Roadblock, does the WWE finally give them the straps? Can easily have
them drop them at Takeover Dallas if a main roster call up is in the works post Mania.

Annnnd the rumors and suspicions that B�lor is giving "the Coupe De Gr�ce" to Bayley behind the scences can only intensify from here. Or taking into
consideration the other decidely more lascivious rumors and suspicions on what side of the plate Finn's swinging on, maybe Bayley's
delivering a "Bayley-To-Back Do-plex" behind closed doors much to the delight of twisted 'shippers the world over. I don't know, and
frankly it's none of my business.
I will say, however, that whoever can get a decent print-run going on some bootleg X-XXXL "I'm A Pegger" shirts before Wrestlemania weekend
could stand to make a fortune off of the sexually deviant Tumblr trolls heading to Dallas. #JUSSAYIN

Best part of the Aries debut/Corbin beatdown, was when the refs are out checking on Aries and you can audibly hear a fan yelling, "You guys are 10
minutes late"

I loved Aries getting trounced before he even got to the ring. I'm excited for Aries in the WWE, but at the same time, he should get his ass
beat. Why not?
Liked Balor/Neville a lot. It didn't click into the next gear or anything, but for a 20 minute face v face match that meant nothing, it was a
lot of fun. I'd like to see them keep fighting, mainly so Neville won't be wasted on the main roster.
Joe vs Zayn 2 of 3 falls should be the entire show next week. I'm incredibly hyped for that one.
Interesting that the Mechanics vs Enzo/Cass tag title match is at Roadblock. Maybe that means a title change? Maybe it's the grand goodbye on
the NXT roster for Enzo and Cass. I want to see how their act plays in front of a pure WWE crowd.

I suspect thats WWE think too, making sure they, or the entrance at least, is over before they debut.
I mean, its unlikely, but if they came out to silence it would be awkward at least

Haven't watched today's episode yet, but I was thinking about Aries' debut and while I'm intrigued as to how they went about
it, I can't help but be a little bit confused with where they're going to go with it. Although in this day and age I do appreciate not
knowing exactly what they have planned for both guys involved. Concerned, maybe? I only say that because I'm a huge mark for Aries, and I
know I'm probably in the minority here but I appreciate Baron Corbin and kind of enjoy watching him progress.
(I'm hoping the above statement isn't as inflammatory as recent comments regarding global warming elsewhere on the bOOards might
be.)
You don't bring in someone like Aries, only to immediately feed him to an up-and-comer like Corbin. But on the other side of the coin you
don't want to ruin Corbin's momentum, which has been slowed considerably over the course of the past year or so as he's racked up a
few high profile losses to guys above him on the card. As much as I want to see Aries come in and be dominant, I also think it's time for them
to do something substantial with Corbin.
I don't know how many of you guys watched Breaking Ground, but it had a lot to do with me taking a shine to Corbin who is basically just a big
grumblepuss. I don't know how much of that was kayfabed for the doc, but it's oddly endearing and he plays the whole "lone wolf" thing a
hell of a lot better than Reigns does. Hell, they've done a lot of what they should have done with Reigns with Corbin. Started off as an
unstoppable green powerhouse babyface, whom they wisely turned heel before the crowd got completely bored with the one note he was able to play. Since
then he's been able to incorporate enough of his innate misanthropy, and his belief that he's better than all these indy darlings who keep
coming in and stealing his spotlight. I think that's a solid base for a compelling character, with plenty of room to grow. In a way,
he's almost like the Fulton from The Mighty Ducks of NXT.
But I digress. I'd like to see Corbin get punked by Aries in a match or two. Continue what they should've done with Roman, and push him
over the edge out of frustration over not being quite as good as he thinks he is. Give him layers. Then finally he can just snap and attack Regal,
powder out when Balor or Aries, or whoever comes out to make the save. Sit out the next batch or two of tapings to sell a suspension
(and perhaps wisely make an appointment with Bosley in the interim) and then bring him back to feud with whomever is
NXT Champ...
Eh, I don't know. This has been fairly meandering (I apologize as I'm typing this on my phone and that makes things much tougher and
"tangenty" for me than usual) but I think there's promise here. Hopefully we'll actually get to hear The Greatest Man That Ever Lived on
the mic tonight, or better yet: in action.

The "Corbin having more of a character than Reigns" thing is a con(remember when we were told that Roman Reigns would completely bomb? Well his
positive crowd reactions have actually gotten bigger the last couple of years.) and Florida's NXT crowd isn't any more predictable than it
ever has been. And before anyone cites all the dirt sheets who claim Corbin's development is a thing, I will cite dirt sheets who claim it
isn't.

Well, perhaps I misspoke. I definitely wasn't happy with the cogency of my last post here as I was kind of just rambling along typing on my
phone...
I wouldn't necessarily say that Corbin has more of a character than Reigns does, but I would definitely say that Corbin's suits him better
than Reigns' does. But statement also factors in that he has been booked in a much more favorable manner, playing to his strengths and his
weaknesses. We can't really say the same for Roman since The Shield split. Reigns only has about 3 years seniority on Corbin, who in all honesty
could have found himself in a similar predicament as Roman (if you want to get all "Sliding Doorsy") but creative at NXT wisely pumped the brakes on
him and decided to try and add just the teensy-weensiest bit of nuance to his character.
Now, I know I've already said that I've taken a liking to Corbin, but I'm not stupid: He's far (FAR) from being the most
talented guy or gal in developmental. A shocking revelation, I know, but I'm not going to try and kid myself into thinking otherwise. I
do think that there is something there that could hold some promise in the near future. As far as most of the NXT darlings go, and I mean that
in the most loving way possible, I think he has a lot more going for him as far as jumping to the main roster than some of our smaller, more
athletically gifted, and even quirky favorites. He's got a look, he's got the size that Vince likes, and he has his own bit of gravitas
going for him that will serve him well for the transition if it ever comes to pass.
I suppose I mentioned Roman because, hey, capping on Roman is so rufus right now. It's fetch. Ya dig? But seriously, I kind of look at Corbin as
being an alternate parallel of Roman, but a Roman that was kept in developmental to--y'know, develop-- instead of getting thrown into the
deep end of the pool and getting exposed once his floaties (Seth and Dean) got taken away.

Okay, good. It's a callback... I was wondering why I was getting the Twin Peaks deja vu feeling reading it. Although it still doesn't
explain the sharply dressed midget speaking in tongues in my living room. And when the fuck did I get a tile floor?
Well, Corbin did beat the last Indy darling he clashed with, Apollo Crews in NXT London. I think he'll be fine if he takes the loss here, but
Aries will probably be the guy he really feuds with and it'll extend longer than his rivalries with Joe and Crews. I'm predicting that the
Win Or Loss won't matter, instead Corbin will really hurt Aries by the end of it.
Man, I loved Joe doing a modified Coquina Clutch after he showed an easy reversal when Sami used it on him.
