GDT: NXT TakeOver: Chicago (16th June 2018)

[GKJ]

Please elaborate.

They don't have her really doing anything and they haven't been able to do much with her character as overall the women's division has been down. And while she's great in the ring almost everyone she's been matched up with have been so far below her level that she doesn't look as impressive.

 

[Jussi]

Ricochet needs a win to build his reputation up. When he loses, it has to mean something.

 

[Natey]

I like Ricochet but Velveteen has won me over so much that I'm pulling for him

 

[GKJ]

What Dream does in his entrances looks great in a vacuum, but spoofing others on all these entrances is going to make Vince think he's a comedy act more and more. Be the Velveteen Dream the whole time.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Building up to a crescendo with the mat based start

 

[DerekDevils30]

Great storytelling there

Ricochet's atheleticism pissing Dream off

 

[Natey]

She was hurt for quite some time. And they pushed Baszler. Not much she could do.

 

[ColePens]

Dream is so damn good, but when you see Ricochet, it's a whole different level of crispness in the ring.

If they're smart, they'll build her up again in the next set of tapings to eventually have her dethrone Shayna

Agreed but the sky is the limit for Dream. Still so young and relatively new to the business

 

[Jussi]

Ok, Dream is copying other wrestlers too much now.

 

[DerekDevils30]

Not the crispest of matches up to this point

 

[DerekDevils30]

Ricochet is f***ing nuts

 

[Cor]

Patrick Clark has unlimited potential at this point. There's 0 rush to get him to the main roster, and he is already getting to the point where an NXT title feud wouldn't be out of the question

 

[Cor]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that his thing?

 

[GKJ]

She was hurt for quite some time. And they pushed Baszler. Not much she could do.

They were pushing Shayna anyways. They were desperate for a strong heel. They definitely want her to learn English first as well. Her issues have more to do with being a victim of circumstance.

If they're smart, they'll build her up again in the next set of tapings to eventually have her dethrone Shayna

As it stands, I don't think she's the one.

 

[DerekDevils30]

That's legit pain on Ricochet's face

God dammit

 

[Jussi]

Well this is doing what it needed to so far: showing Ricochet's skill while making Dream look strong as well.

 

[DerekDevils30]

As it stands, I don't think she's the one.

I don't know who else? Perhaps Bianca as they're building her up of late.

Don't think Shayna will be on NXT long as she's older and I'm sure Vince wants to do the four horsewoman thing sooner than later

 

[Tw1ster]

This is a damn good match

 

[DerekDevils30]

Guys are in sync

 

[Natey]

That DDT should be a finish. It's unreal.

 

[Cor]

That DDT should be a finish. It's unreal.

Was about to say, it's so sick

 

[Jussi]

Damn it both guys absolutely knackered again.

 

[GKJ]

Fight Forever
