[bigego24]

[vc3fan]

Speaking of the Young Bucks...did you watch the New Year Dash match with them and Kenny the Cleaner vs TimeSplitters and Ryusuke Taguchi? That finish was creative and impressive.

nah can you link me to it on NJPW World or even the whole Dash? Thanks.

 

[had pants]

Elated to see Smackdown moved to Thursdays and tuned in now to see Big Show. Shrugs.

And RR/Wrestlemania is always a vibrant time for NTWT. Whether it's kayfabe, shoot or work, let's try and make it generally accommodating for those who have been here and/or are currently joining us.

aight fellas! both POOLS are FILLED! everyone will get their number after RAW on monday via PM. yall can post your numbers or keep ita surprise. i'll keep a master list that I will post with everyone's number after the rumble. also if you wanna help with prizes feel free to PM me. I can have a group PM with whoever wants to help so we can determine what prizes we'll give out for which winner. If you're in POOL A you will give a prize to POOL B vice versa? I think that's fair in case you're a winner in your group and you're contributing with prizes.

Sorry, I've been super busy, I do web/graphic design and December/January are generally super busy months for me because people are trying to redo their stores for winter sales and such.

Well put Had Pants. I joined almost a year ago. And stopped lurking not too long afterward. For the most part(minus hatin *** GHIMS ) y'all have been extremely welcoming and more than a few of you have sent me some great PM's with matches info or just positive words during a tough time. I really converse with y'all far more that most of my blood relatives and consider y'all fam.

as long as they don't post as many gifs as you then i'm good. one gif gimmick is enough in this thread unless you want to put em in spoilers

 

[jdcurt2]

NXT spoilers for the next 3 weeks, I couldn't help myself.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

These look like some great shows.

January 21st:

* William Regal announces the next Takeover special for February 11th. A tournament will be held to determine Sami Zayn's opponent for the NXT Title. Tye Dillinger comes out as does Sami, who beats Tye down before the bell. This leads to a promo between Sami and Regal. Sami begs to fight Kevin Owens right now. Sami says he will face the #1 contender whenever but he wants Owens. Regal makes Owens vs. Sami for Takeover.

* Finn Balor defeated Curtis Axel in a tournament match.

* Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte ended in a DQ when Becky Lynch hit the ring. Bayley made the save but Charlotte snatched her belt, which upset Bayley. Bayley laid out Charlotte.

* Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy defeated The Vaudevillians.

* Hideo Itami defeated Tyler Breeze with a kick in a great tournament match.

January 28th:

* Adrian Neville defeated Tyson Kidd in a tournament match with Red Arrow.

* Baron Corbin defeated Bull Dempsey in a tournament match.

* Charlotte and Bayley vs. Sasha Banks and Becky ended when Bayley and Charlotte started fighting each other.

* Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy defeated Sin Cara and Kalisto to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

* Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens do a contract signing for their Takeover match. Regal makes their match for the NXT Title because Owens demanded it. Fans chant "Sign Owens Sign" at him.

February 4th:

* Enzo Amore and Big Cass come out to introduce Carmella. She says Blue Pants isn't here but Emma is. Enzo, Cass and Carmella are over with the fans. Carmella defeats Emma by submission.

* Adrian Neville defeated Baron Corbin in a tournament match. Bull Dempsey may have distracted Corbin from the crowd.

* Bayley defeated Becky Lynch. After the match, Sasha got in Becky's face and Becky shoved her down. Charlotte came out, mocked them all and raised her title.

* Finn Balor defeated Hideo Itami in a tournament match for the right to face Adrian Neville in the finals. This was an amazing match and the end of tonight's tapings.

 

[22stylez]

can't wait for the February 4th episode. That main event

 

[bigego24]

Love that there was no cena tonight

He's rarely there on Smackdown and it's usually announced heavily on Raw. Boo John Cena.
