Haven't posted in here for awhile. Really excited to NXT Takeover London, I am hoping that Enzo and Cass walk out Tag champs. I really like their mic work as well as in ring.
Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor I am mixed. I want to see Joe get the belt but I am afraid if he does that means that Finn will more then likely get elevated to Raw and sadly I see him getting lost there and just placed in the same situation as Caesaro and so many others when the get to Raw, and for Finn, that would just be a waste of his talent.

@Batman: Lol, yeah I watched it last night and they were just nuts. I especially love the chants or whatever you call them. The matches were really great too, I don't think there was a bad one. Glad you had a good time.

@Tasuki: if you can go and see NXT live, do it. There's something really special about being in an arena with 9,999 other hardcore fans who are totally invested and in tune with product.

@Batman: Oh yeah that is most definitely on my to do list. A few months ago they were in my neck of the woods, sadly though it was part of a two day concert event and the tickets were a bit pricey because you it included two days of the concert as well as NXT. I wish I could have just bought NXT tickets but oh well. Hopefully they come back to my area soon.

So I have been watching my son play 2K16 on the PS4 and man what a disappointment. He's played through the mode where you play as Austin and I have to say what a joke. The matches are nothing but QTE and the story I might as well just watch highlights of Austin's matches on the WWE Network. I seriously hope that 2K ĺoses the WWE license as it shows they can't do anything with it. At this point I almost hope that EA gets it at some point.

@iDangerMouse_: Totally agree that's why when it was first announced that 2K games was getting the WWE license when THQ went under I was excited. Now I am disappointed.

Yep, 2K16 will probably be the my last wrestling game for awhile. The roster is terrific but they went way to "sim" with the gameplay and the submission system is awful. The career mode is also pretty boring which is surprising with it being so well done in their NBA series.
@Splat: Yeah for me it lost that pick up and play feel pre 2K WWE games I could just pick up a controller and just start having fun. Now they have all these QTE that I didn't have a clue until I looked it up online. This is one of the reasons I am not a fan of modern sports games like Madden. Unless you are a hard core sport fan you can't enjoy it, they have totally alienated casual fans.
But I digress they just put too much thought into their WWE games almost like trying to make it UFC game. Too much sports not enough entertainment.

SOOOO... .Anyone watch Wrestle Kingdom 10? Imo it was the best wrestling even, possibly, ever. WK9 was awesome, this past year, as was Ultima Lucha - but WK10 was maybe just that much better. If you ask me, right now, pro-wrestling is experiencing a true renaissance. Anyone have thoughts on this? Or how about what happened with Bullet Club yesterday? What do you think will happen with AJ Styles?
So I guess rumors are floating around that the "Bullet Club" is going to be making its way to WWE soon. Which would explain the "Club Balor" logo now shown on Finn Balor's entrance.

@Tasuki Something's definitely happening. Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles have wrapped up with NJPW, plus Rocky Romero may join the fold as well.

It would make sense especially if the bring Balor up to the main roster. I also heard that Doc Gallows was coming up to which would be interesting since he's already had a run in WWE. I wonder if they will refrence his older characters or just ignore them like R Truth.

Well, the one thing I think is certain, is that they won't be brought in as Bullet Club - as that belongs to NJPW. While I think this would be the best thing for everyone (fans, WWE, the wrestlers, and even NJPW), the fact that NJPW owns it pretty much rules it out. UNLESS, NJPW and WWE worked out some cross-promotion thing, but WWE isn't really known for that... It's just not likely... IF booked properly WWE could have two amazing heels in Gallows and Anderson - maybe have Balor turn heel with those guys and do some type of Bullet Club offshoot? Possibly Balor Club, though, I don't really like that as an original idea. As far as Nakamura, will the WWE screw up yet again in booking a Japanese performer? I'm not so confident they can get it right. If they did, then they have a star for sure... The one guy that I think will get over with no problem is AJ Styles. He has been having the best matches of any wrestler since Shawn Michaels. All they need to do is book him against Cena, Reigns, or some other mediocre talent and Styles will catch on fire with the fans.
@BodyW-outOrgans: Right it probably won't be Bullet Club that's why they are using Balor Club. And I do agree with you on AJ Styles he is amazing. He is probably one of the biggest reasons why I watched TNA years ago. I just really hope that if he comes to WWE they use him correctly and just don't stick him in the mid card.
