    The new arena setup is nice. But the camera cuts are awful. I don't understand how they became a thing. Is this style of filming popular with the youths?

    Not sure if his start was in Impact. But he’s never spoken a word in NXT nor blinked his eyes. So yeah the gimmick is correct. But this story has been great. Index wedding hopefully gives us a great pay off.

    The reports from the dirt sheets that the death of NXT was coming seem to be complete bullshit.

    Some good, some meh. But overall I think it was a good show. And a lot of promising new talent making its way into TV.

    A name like Bron Breakker just automatically puts a "mid card ceiling" on someone like that. It's not a name that'll ever work on a marquee.

    Are they billing him as a second generation guy or just ignoring the Steiner connection completely?

    Just call him Rex Steiner…instant credibility

    Last fall Dexter was in a comedy feud with Grimes. The payoff was a Halloween street fight at Halloween Havoc TV special where at one point the Zombies took over and a zombie ref was part of.

    It was his first appearance on TV, no mention of his family or hint to any past. Just a talent looking to make an difference. Seriously who gives a fuck about a name.

    Edge is a name for one of the greatest to do it. Big E is the current champion.

    Rocky Miavia became a legend.

    Stunning Steve Austin may be a god.

    Hunter Hurst Hemsley became the game.

    If the dude can go the name doesn’t matter.

    It’ll just be Bron by the time he hits the main roster. I thought the parts I caught last night was ok but not enough to do more than scroll through the tapings. I’m sure Bankz thought it was a masterpiece.

    The announcer mentioned something about his "dog faced gremlin mentality," which made me think oh wow he does kind of look like Rick, but that was it
