A bit soon.
>>16165041He's green but he's good enough to get carried by pros
>>16165041NXT is unironically grim then
To be honest, if hes not getting Trick now what is he going to do in NXT? The mens side is weak
Smackdown seems like a better fit with Bron and Bronson in the RAW midcard
>>16165041Too early I think. He’ll do fine, but it’ll be a struggle for a while before he adjusts. Needs another 6 months in NXT I think. But great talents adapt. He will figure it out. Gonna miss him in NXT if true.
>>16165047Also his style is just him doing heavy rep day at the gym. Doesn't need to do anything complex or nuanced, at least for now. But they figure he'll pick it up along the way. I think he has more upside than any of the guys in developmental right now easily.
femboys get hyped
>>16165041It's been really quick, but he's so insanely good for his experience level I can totally understand why they'd call him up
I wanted the year long NXT title reign
>RawSend him to Smackdown you fuckin tards. Raw is already stacked
>>16165061A NOAH tour would have done wonders for him
>>16165041There's no room for him at the moment, especially on RAW.
>>16165066Quicker than Bron or Tiffy right? And they were similar freak talents.
>>16165070RAW is going to Netflix so they're stacking it, Smackdown is genuinely grim
Smackdown is going 3 hours next year while RAW goes back to 3ish under netflix.NXT will lose people. Still seems a bit soon
>>16165089bron took 3 years, tiffy took just over 2, oba took like 11 months
>>16165096Main roster will need 10-15 more people by my estimate. They gotta come from somewhere.
>>16165041he's too green and has a cap limit of about 15 minutes before he gets gassed and forgets his spotsthere's no reason why they should rush him, Trick vs Oba at S&D with Oba going over and beginning a reign of terror as NXT Champion is the most easy booking decision currently
>>16165041Sounds like a stupid rumor. He would be basically be promoted from being a mid card belt champ in the c show straight into main roster while simultaneously passing over Trick and the main belt of NXT scene, while being more green than anyone else int that title picture right now.. .. and to do what exactly? Raw can't get fucking 6 people in Howdy's group to fucking show up weekly, RAW is stock full of stories and feuds, Vinci is in SD is in shambles and that's a full time coconut show in every other front... It's not out of realms of possibility but sounds like one them dead end drafts that happen and nobody has plans for them until they get released after 6 months and one WWE speed match sort of disasters waiting to happen
>>16165089Yeah, I mean he was a champ after being a wrestler for only 2 months, he's just a freak athlete
>Bron, Sneed, Strowman, and now Oba on the same brandI mean that's fucking awesome. But, I don't like having too many powerhouses on one show. Cause it makes them not as special.
>>16165108>he's too green and has a cap limit of about 15 minutes before he gets gassed and forgets his spotshow many 15+ minute matches are happening? How many is Oba Femi going to be in
>>16165110>Raw can't get fucking 6 people in Howdy's group to fucking show up weeklyYou do realize they are not meant at all to be a weekly thing right?
>>16165108they had him working almost exclusively with main roster talent / indie vets when he was champ. ivar, otis, wes lee, gallus, dijak etc. he will be more than fine on main
>>16165120You went to the B-fab school of wrestling?
Why not a NXT tittle run so he can appear more in the other shows so people know him better
>Sending him to RawMakes no sense. He should be having matches with Knight on Smackdown. Cause the midcard scene there is horrible
>>16165041Nah he’s awesome and he’s money, no need for him to be wasted at slip and fall school
>>16165089>>16165041Oba is getting rushed because Triple H is getting flack for not pushing black guys. He likes Oba and always planned to push him, but he moved up the time table for it in response to the "racist" accusations.Hopefully this doesn't stunt Oba's development, because he does have a lot of upside if he can get the right training along the way. I bet Oba is protected as much as possible and put with experienced workers who can help him to shine. Oba is still green and it's possible this early push will hurt him long term, but then again it could turn out great.
>>16165041So no snowbunny harem with Nikkita Lyons?
Bro was barely selling for Tony D last night. He still has an attitude problem. He should spend more time in NXT to mature.
>>16165041did the double job on the way out. the nxt way.
>>16165255He shouldn’t sell for anybody look at the motherfucker
>>16165273That's not how it works. If the script says to sell. You sell. I watched the match entirely. And Oba was no selling and sandbagging a bit. He's not main roster material yet. Everyone leaves NXT with a loss when they go to the main roster. Idk why he had a problem with that.
>>16165290You don’t get wrestling in the slightest
>>16165298And you're dumb fanboy
>>16165255you made all that up
>>16165313Did Goldberg need to sell?
>>16165290Fact, Brock Lesnar sold his fucking ass off.Selling is 50% of the job.
>>16165319Was it in the script for Goldberg to sell?
>>16165330Yeah but he refused to follow it
>>16165330The script! The script!
>>16165319Goldberg couldn't sell for shit and it's why his matches are dog shit.Watch Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle you dumb retarded cunt. Real GOATs
>>16165255can you post some examples? i didnt notice it
>>16165339What does Angle have to do with anything, he wasn’t a monster
>anons actually defending dudes no-sellingLol fucking what??
>>16165354there is no evidence of his no-selling, just one anon saying he did. (he didn't, i watched the match)
Bro is Ezekiel Jackson 2.0
>>16165369he's black lesnar actually
>>16165351He was booked as a semi-monster in Ruthless Aggression and TNA. It was believable too considering his absurd athleticism and Olympic background.
>>16165351>Kurt Angle won the WWF Championship 349 days after his debut, defeating The RockZoom zoom!!!
>>16165255>Bro was barely selling for Tony D last night.he sold that ladder bump lil bro
>comparing this dude to Goldberg You NXTrannies are out of your fucking minds. Keep this shitter in your containment show.
>>16165430you're right he's far better than goldberg
>>16165430They're literally cucks. That's why they're going crazy for this dude. You should see their gay ass gamethreads.
>>16165436At this point yeah. The only things Goldberg has on Femi is raw athletic ability and knowing how to work a crowd. And Oba can contouring improve the latter. Goldberg is the least talented, all time great wrestler ever. Lightning in a bottle.
It wouldn't be a good time to go to Raw with it only being 2 hours long.I do wonder what's next for him either way. The NXT men's division is in such a weird spot. There's no one up top. Everyone is stuck in tag teams and factions that are going nowhere and barely getting them TV time. No one can improve or develop like this. And I think the problem is going to get worse before it gets better.I also do wonder if there was truth to the report about NXT moving to Las Vegas from 2 months ago. NXT needs a second brand and Vegas could be a possibility for it.
>>16165494So nobody is on top in singles, and everyone is stuck in tags but tags get no TV time, and basically nobody at all gets to be on TV. I was just about to smoke some heroin and pass out for a few hours, thank God I didn't and I got to read your expert analysis instead
>>16165354There's a time & a place to no-sell. Use it too much and you have a monster who can't be beaten, use it too little and suddenly everyone is main-event tier. A sprinkle here and a pinch there is the right move
>sends another one packing to main rosterbased nxt final boss, hope they acknowledge it soon
>>16165041why the hell would femi go to raw when their roster is stacked to the gills and they just went down to 2 hours (at least for the next few months)? no, he'll obviously go to smackdown. he is a rookie, he is black, they are going to expand to 3 hours in 2 months and need more wrestlers, they especially need midcarders because the midcard men's singles roster is literally just four (4) (quatro) wrestlers - it all fits.
>>16165041Another overrated black shitter from MemeXT
Triple Reich would Apollo Crews him. Keep him with Michaels until scandal brings down Levesque and Michaels becomes chief of creative.
>>16165041He's going to get buried on the main roster for 2 to 3 years and then get the Speed title before he's AEW bound.
>>16165110>while simultaneously passing over Trick and the main belt of NXT scenethis is exactly why trick isn't going anywhere any time soon. or at least part of it.NXT isn't exactly like a school even though people call it the wrestling school. it's still a brand at the end of the day, and they need draws. trick is the face of the men's division. there's no one that could replace him. the other part of it is, he's still very green in the ring, he needs it.
>>16165255i also noticed this. i'm not sure if it's out of spite or because he's just not used to it, but he could have sold better for tony.
>>16165884i didn't notice it at all, have any examples? i can look up the spots on the vod
>>16165041Liv gonna have a NICE future
>>16165494>NXT needs a second brandIt really doesn't
>>16165563Who else has he done this to?
>>16165934Tomasso Ciampa, which was very funny at the time that one of the longest tenured NXT guys was sent to the main roster after that match
>>16165934ciampa, pretty deadly, pete dunne
I like this. Throw him into the water and see if he sinks or swims.
>>16165114It's long past time for Strowman and his bad knees to call it a career.Sneed is really dull too, he'd be my first cut if I was running things
>>16165934in addition to what other anons wrote, he also sent legado del fantasma (escobar, wilde, del toro)
Replacement big black dude to break up the New Day
>>16165063This man got it! He just needs to be a big monster who demolishes his opponents, and that shouldn't be hard to portray! Then again, I think I trust people too much to not be stupid, and then they go around and do some stupid shit!
>>16166436you could just have him do spotfests with sneed and strowman for 6 months while he learns the ropesthe fed needs 10-15 more main roster acts when they add the extra hour and they got 2 months to find em
>>16165041He's Nash bound
>>16165041Good I'm sick of this glacier pace of injecting new talent into an aging roster.
>another nil prospect gets the call up after training for less than 2 yearskek roxanne and whora are bitching up a storm rn
