Grayson Waller Shoots on WWE Run & NXT

no i know you're making a good point here man because i was uh i i i was up this morning early getting ready for work whatnot me and you were kind of in that same right that's why usually will you'll send me something funny or or uh just something maybe in your house related or or uh uh thoughts on a on an episode of an animated series that you think I might like and yesterday I kind of did the same for you actually no it was this morning I apologize it was this morning I did for you I started asking I was like did anybody see this shoot promo from NXT from Grayson Waller And I saw bits and pieces of it on social media until I got kind of settled in and I checked out NXT when I was at work.

And I've been watching NXT for the last couple of weeks.

And I will say this, the show itself, like the wrestling, very, very good wrestling, really good wrestling.

It girls, it guys, like people with an it factor.

there's not really a lot of that there i mean these people these athletes uh these competitors some of them are indie wrestlers that are not finished products and was that were never really good on the mic but fantastic in ring and hopefully through nxt they're able to become a more polished character or you have uh charismatic figures that come through um the next in line program and whatnot but maybe some of these people are just looking for opportunities elsewhere and they're just looking to use wwe as you know somewhat of a pedestal to take that next step and and whatever they decide to do next and i just I think that there's not somebody locked in to what's going on and really studying the game.

And that's where Grayson Waller came into play to me.

When I watched this promo, when I listened to this promo, it wasn't the most...

Listen, I'm not going to sit up here and say it was the most authentic brand of promo that I've ever seen.

But I'm not going to sit up here and say that the guy didn't... give a big swing and make a lot of good points.

He, uh, you know, he referenced the failures in his career, which I mean, for the last two years, his whole job has been to prop somebody else up, whether it be through the Grayson Waller effect or working with Austin Theory, trying to prop him back up or working with the New Day.

He's, even though This young man is great on the mic, and he proved it last night with the amount of time that he got on the microphone.

They don't just give you a live mic and let you go to that level unless they have some trust in the fact that you can make this work.

And last night, Grayson Waller made it work with the references that he brought up.

He had people talking with The New Day and whatnot.

And I think that...

There had to have been a big, massive discussion had for him to jump on the scene like this because this started out the show.

This was the very beginning of the show.

The way they did it, it was unplanned.

This was an unplanned segment.

He just came with the mic and said all the things.

He called out the men's NXT roster.

He put over the women's NXT roster.

saying that the 10% in that company or in that promotion who were ready to call up the only 10% they were all women which honestly he wasn't wrong in saying that so I think that this promo for him was not only him just shooting and expressing his frustrations it was a lot of introspective, introspective type thinking that's coming out loud and verbalizing real frustrations over the course of his career.

Because I'll tell you, I didn't think in a million years watching this guy in NXT that he was gonna be where he's at right now.

I mean, it's, I mean, When you have that type of potential that Grayson Waller has for better or for worse, whether you love him or hate him, when you have that type of potential and you're just riding the pine as long as he has been or trying to put somebody else over, there's going to be real frustration.
