All Ozaki-Gun have killer looks other than POLICE, heck most of the OZ looks are top notch when you also consider AKINO and Sonoko. I'm not sure anybody in Joshi can compete outside of Takumi and bath mat Hirota. Points to Yappy for having the best rookie look even though it looks like it would be hell to wrestle in her gear.

OP
performance centers must've put out a memo because I've seen multiple staff members saying "WALTER vs. Pete Dunne 2 is the BIGGEST MATCH in NXT UK history!!"
No one cares, no one watches
Kind of funny that WWE put a spotlight on the UK scene but their own attempt at it seems to exist in a vacuum of interest
They have no clue what UK wrestling is about. They took all the cool atmosphere nand pit it through the WWE filter. It's so bad.
Also forgot NXT UK is a thing, it's just a vacuum cleaner
I'm not from the south and I'll take a good rub + vinegar base over any sauce slop. I really dislike sweet sugary bbq.
No surprise from the Nash tweets just as there was no surprise seeing a lot of the replies to it.
Finally the world will meet the savior of pro wrestling Austin Theory
He's done nothing since they started the UK brand. He started as the #2 guy but now he's probably like 4 or 5. Walter & Devlin overtaken him easily.
Is that Malenko? I know he had quit WWE recently. Good guy for them to get backstage.
I thought it was apple guy at first but yep, thats definitely Dean.
Ice Man onboard.
Malenko looks old. He should always be a late 30 to 40 something year old dad who looks like he's stern, but very supportive and doesn't emotionally stunt his children.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of how they've handled the buildup to the women's match. They feel like an afterthought or add-on compared to the buildup that the other matches on the card have gotten
We need a genuine Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday gimmick again. Make more use of social media and fan involvement. 24/7 title will be great for this, I just wonder who will be squashed for getting too over online by using their own creative power instead of WWE's
I would if I could make Braun vs. 205 live guy in a hands behind back match.
Those were like always bad. I don't remember a good one of those.
You mean you didnt like when you had the choice between
Hardcore Match
No Holds Barred
or
No DQ match
?

I'm excited for something new. Looking forward to seeing the production of it all.
I liked that commentary basically said without actually saying it "Gabe killed his love of wrestling". Faction Warfare was the fuckin WORST, and sure there were mitigating circumstances like guys getting signed, and pressure on Gabe to cut costs while still maintaining the product's quality in-spite of some major, major talent losses, but the idea seemed so ill-conceived, "let's just rip-off Dragon Gate badly!".
Yeah, got a lot of questions that will hopefully be answered by DON.
Its their first show so I'll give them abit of slack but still.
I would laugh if Stevens showed up in Evolve. I mean, he would kill it, but it's Gabe so who knows
>=(
This ringless condimentless future the thread is pushing is not for me.
I would say DON will save us but
The OhSun will not shine for us.
is this a fucking threat?
Ziggle and Corbin in a two month+ long title scene?
I'm sure all the kids who get to stay home all summer and get to stay up past their bedtime to watch Raw and PPVs are going to be so fucking excited!
There's no real angle/story/stakes going into the match. They're just (somewhat) trying to establish characters.
If anything, what they filmed at RISE: Legendary and showed on BTE took heat off what Kylie/Nyla did at the Vegas press conference.
They certainly could have flew Nyla out and have her wreck Kylie Rae v.s. Britt Baker at Warrior Wrestling 4 (Jessicka Havok did a run-in for a no-contest) or shown some footage of Kylie/Britt's match from Zelo Pro Wrestling, or filmed some more bits at all the indie shows SCU/Sammy Guevara/MJF were on with either Kylie Rae or Britt Baker, but that didn't happen.
My hope is that's an intentional choice to establish characters first and something happens during/after the match that spins off into something interesting.
