Still not sure why Aries hasn't seemed to "click" yet in NXT, but that was a great start. I mean, the guy can fucking go, and was a huge
reason to watch TNA back when he was on fire over there, so I'm hoping he can find his groove soon
This has intrigued me too. And I kinda think Nakamura's huge groundswell of support has directly related to Aries' lack of impact thus
far. It's kinda funny because I assume they thought Aries was gonna come in and be giganticly over but you never know where the fans will go
and in this case, they chose Nakamura. I think at this point you've gotta turn Aries heel (which is always a wonderful thing) and let him do
his thing from there.
I think he plays such a great asshole that I don't see why they wouldn't have him heel from day one. The WWE needs great heals and they
are really, really low in that department.
I only signed up so I can read the forum.

The Authors of Pain should change their name to Store Brand, because they are generic as fuck. Everything about them is generic-- their look, their
music, their ring gear, their green ass moveset. The only thing I felt while watching their match was bad for Paul Ellering.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

I agree that the Authors of Pain could have used some kind of hook to get them insta-over (and that hook was the cool masks they wore on the "Dark
NXT" house show circuit for the past several months).... but let's not insta-bury them when their whole gimmick is Paul Ellering keeping us in
the dark (they don't even have NAMES yet) and telling interviewers "all in good time."
Those two will be OK. I've seen footage on Dhinsa that is not terrible, and "Jism Salami" is actually a world class amateur wrestler (I know
"Albanian Kurt Angle" doesn't mean a whole lot, because Albania is Albania, but we're not talking about a hack, either).
Tag division in NXT is decimated, especially if Alpha get plucked by WWE.... but AoP can help replenish. We've already got a rebooted Ciampa and
Gargano set as challengers to the Revival, and WWE is clearly behind TM61 (can we all just agree to call them The Mighty?). Can we keep undoing the
Blake/Murphy break-up, and get the Hype Bros back? Even if Alpha leaves, that's 6 solid teams, 3 face and 3 heel....
Anyone else catch the fact that Samoa Joe quietly started referencing the NXT Title as the "NXT World Championship" on this week's show? First
time I know of that's happened, and the fact that it was not edited out sets my brain working a thousand miles per second.... with the brand
split coming up, that can't be by accident?
Can it?
