Funny that Roman Seth & Dean can each cut small promos and it's just so obvious what a step down Roman is. He's still so green.

Kane's old attire was so much cooler. New mask and sleeveless top are so lame.

Not all that excited about a Kane comeback, but I respect the longevity. Seems like he's been the same guy forever while other wrestlers his age are totally falling apart.

On a random note, I think Mickie James has been doing really good work in her feud with Alexa and really want to see her get a title run (though I don't see it happening after she pinned Alexa tonight).

I'm kind of annoyed by how this is being booked, particularly for Braun. Braun should be getting portrayed as if he could be a challenge to the shield on his own. Instead we are likely going to get the shield beating not only him, but 4 others at a handicap disadvantage, including a revitalized Kane. We already saw shades of this last night with Roman dominating that match.

The bolded is way too strong imo, but I agree with the general sentiment.

That's because Braun is going to join the Shield.

What the ****? Was there anyone in the world who was really asking for this kind of idiocy? Do the match and throw them both back in NXT to be repackaged or fire them. Kevin Dunn, Vince, and whoever else thought this was a good idea needs to be axed as well.

Is that a real WWE image or some kind of joke? I've been purposefully avoiding that storyline so I'm really not sure.

I had my doubts about heel Sami. But I liked his promo today.

Yeah, it's not that I don't think he can pull it off, it's just that they've wasted using his best abilities as a face for so long.

Where did the thing where the crowd repeats the ring announcer's "one fall" come from?

Because it's NXT and the crowd needs to fill every silent second with some stupid **** to get themselves over

That said, while there were trashy elements to 90s crowds, I do tend to think they were less obnoxious than today’s and less likely to detract from the product. Beyond the terrible sing-along stuff, the incessant cheering for heels today is a bad thing even if they’re often cheering for wrestlers who I like.

Occasional smark crowds were a lot of fun in sparing amounts, but there is definitely too much of a good thing.

NXT crowds stole it from the British crowds that have doing it for years

Very into the Sami + KO show. Sami's heel promos/mannerisms are very good imo. Curious if he can have a more heelish wrestling style or if it's going to be mostly cheating.

It was smart to put them in the ring heeling on DB in Washington, which pretty much guaranteed boos when I'm sure a lot of the crowd still wants to cheer for Sami and Owens.
