Cole
Fish
O'Reilly

I think that's all it means.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed the injury Drew McIntyre suffered at TakeOver is as serious as believed and the former NXT Champion will be out of action for months.

Sources tell us Drew’s test results showed he tore his bicep — we’re told it happened during a mistimed move near the end of the match — and he’s hoping to return in time for WrestleMania weekend.

As we previously reported, McIntyre was injured while wrestling Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas.

Drew tweeted this morning saying, “Unfortunately I did suffer an injury during my title defense at TakeOver. I’ve dealt with setbacks before. The reality is, I always come back better…There’s a scary thought for whomever is NXT champion come 2018… #TickTock.”

Just have him re-debut on the main roster on the Raw or SD after Wrestlemania.

Literally no reason he should go back to NXT.

At the NXT taping tonight. Gargano and Chris Hero just wrestled a legitimate 4 star match. Crowd was super hot. Both guys are way over.

Didn't like the kickout after the elbow to the back of the head, but yeah good match. Best that Ohno has done in this NXT stint.

Cole isn't loved that much by the internet and was pretty polarizing before NXT. A lot of people would call him overrated while others say he's the perfect wrestler, I think he's neither of those things.

I don't think he's that bad but my problem with him was that I never really liked his promos despite most thinking they are great and his moveset is mostly uninspired. He can pull off the moves well but it just seems like he doesn't have his own style and is just copying his favourite wrestlers. He was also never a high flying/high risk wrestler and plays a slow heel type thing so I can see why some would find it boring. He has put on great matches in the past so I think it's a bit early to call him trash but I don't he is as good as a lot of people say. He can pull off a pretty nice destroyer though.

If I can give my uniformed opinion here, my feelings on Adam Cole are this. Having only seen him in NXT, I think his in work skills are ok, but his charisma level is through the roof. Every time he comes out, I enjoy the show that much more. I will freely admit that his ceiling in the WWE is top of the 205 Live card, but if they actually put some effort and more top notch talent in there, that’s a good place to be

I don't have much of an opinion on his NXT stuff since I've only seen him at the latest Takeover event. However, I've seen a bunch of him in ROH/PWG. He can be entertaining but the PG environment doesn't play to his strengths. He gets cheap heat by talking about and pointing at his dick and saying "suck my dick" a bunch. He was also always surrounded by The Young Buck's who are incredibly entertaining...most entertaining thing outside of WWE imo. He's pretty average in the ring and outside of a couple of tag matches in 2011 w/Kyle, I've never thought much of him. I think staying in NXT suits him because once he's in a big crowd that doesn't know or get him, it's going to sound like he's coming out to crickets...like what happened in NJPW

NXT with limited ROH exposure...his move set and charisma are above average, but he's one of those guys that has to do so much more to be believable due to his size. Was really surprised they let him lose Black, not that I'm against the decision, just surprised.

WTF at that crowd last episode?

That may have been the best in-ring episode in NXT history, and the crowd was ****ing dead.

**** you Full Sail.

Which match are you referring to? I was at the last taping and the crowd was super hot for the best matches, but in fairness the taping pushed 4 hours in length. So some crowd fatigue can be expected over the course of a night.

I thought both the title matches were outstanding. Takeover quality from an in-ring perspective.

At least from how it came off from watching it, the crowd seemed criminally dead. Especially for Bate/Dunne, which was 4.5 stars imo.

Bate/Dunne was a technical masterpiece that told complete and compelling story, especially with Bate getting his fingers worked all match. I don’t remember being super hot for the match so much as being mesmerized by the artistry at work. Probably the best technical match I’ve ever seen live.

This was a great episode. Great match. Also, psycho Nikki continues to be amazing. The short, stocky guy from Heavy Machinery cracks me up too. Forgot his name. Love how they're building Sullivan as their Stroman.

Team Vanilla Midgets is just ****ing awful. REdragon without their stiff ass strikes and intensity is just not a team I want to watch. Also lol Adam Cole.

Give whoever booked that 4-way match a raise.

Surprising to see Gargano win, but guessing that means they want to keep Almas as champ for a while. Guess I really didn't see Dane or Sullivan winning, but the four way keeps them both strong. Was figuring Gargano would take the pin from Black if they were looking to take the belt off Almas.

Still really high on Black. Sullivan looked like he kind of blew up a little in the longer match.

This is almost certainly correct. He's only 22.
