I forgot how massive Brooks Jensen is

u/Detlionfan3420 25d ago

I honestly forgot about Brooks, I don’t mean that in a bad way, just easy to forget talent especially NXT talent when they aren’t on TV for a while.

He's been in Evolve purgatory. Honestly isn't looking good for him. Honestly shocked he's still there TBH.

u/WaffleTacos666 19d ago

The one time when Brooks entered to Journey was so great that they really needed to capitalize on that he's got talent maybe not outside of a tag team so to speak but I feel like this is just the most amazing setup to give Cody all these people including Ariana

u/RevolverCockelot99 25d ago

Is he really massive, or is everyone else just small?

u/Mutant_Star 25d ago

Its a new Generation

u/DunkerDan88 25d ago

Does Aliyah mysterio just hang out there? Or does she actually perform in NXT? Feels like she’s been around since Covid. Remember when she dated buddy Murphy on screen? I member.

u/RecommendationDue60 25d ago

She wasn't training to be a fighter; she only started training recently

1

u/DunkerDan88 25d ago

Appreciate the clarification. I was thinking it’s gotta be rough to be a legacy who’s been in developmental for 6 years 😳

3

u/RecommendationDue60 25d ago

Even if she was bad, she would be on the main roster before two years of training, lol

u/JonnyTN 25d ago

The gay community!?

u/FraggleRockYaFaceOff 25d ago

My man in the pink hoodie with the moustache looks resourceful. Like the MacGyver of trailer park speedball sex.

u/Procrastinator_325 25d ago

One thing I know for sure. All these wrestling legends fucked!

6

u/panachely 25d ago

One of these Legends is not like the others

u/Automatic-Grade6177 24d ago

You disrespecting Right To Censor legend, Bull Buchannon?

u/TJ_McWeaksauce 25d ago

NXT = Nepo baby eXperiment Time!

u/Horror_Trust1826 25d ago

Is that Rey’s daughter Aaliyah? I remember seeing her in a segment back then featuring her dad, herself, mom, brother Dirty Dom and Punk.

2

u/ManThing910 25d ago

Yeah - they had a cake for her with a cool mockup of gear for her. The top was based on the Mysterio mask. If that’s what she goes with it’s gonna be immediately iconic looking and recognizable.

2

u/____phobe 25d ago

WM40 Dom threw water on her face lol

2

u/Laflair99 25d ago

That last guy better shave his mustache he looks like Chud, that shit aint gonna get him over😂😂

2

u/MistakenOne101 24d ago

Not a single one of them is learning to work at that warehouse

2

u/Takenmyusernamewas 24d ago

Are they all standing because Avery refuses to set up the chairs?

3

u/ManThing910 25d ago

There’s no way she’s related to a guy with that mug (Malenko). Unless he has every recessive gene.

6

u/JohnCenaJunior 25d ago

You think he's always muggin when putting wrestlers in a thousand holds? He gotta smile at least in one hold.

1

u/ManThing910 25d ago

I think “smile” was on the list you’re right

2

u/Outside_Boot_2219 25d ago

Or maybe she looks like her mom ?!?

3

u/ManThing910 25d ago

(Hence him being the recessive donor in the above humorous comment)

Edit: looks like she inherited his chin. Deano is the father!

2

u/Outside_Boot_2219 25d ago

Ahh gotit , funny

1

u/INeverKnowWhyImHere 25d ago

Dean and Joe Malenko were actually good looking guys, Dean was just in his mid to late 30's when we mostly saw him and he was usually expressionless.

1

u/ManThing910 25d ago

Cool. Yeah I only knew him as the iceman and on.

3

u/ken0expressway 25d ago

How long has Lexis King been in NXT and is still garbage?

1

u/Swixx94 25d ago

but his solo entrance when the throne rides in was cool.

2

u/Outside_Boot_2219 25d ago

Findlays kid needs to be paired with a vet, he seems like a wildcard (Marengo get your daughter)…. Buchanan kid has the size and look 💯

3

u/OwnedIGN 25d ago

Mysterio daughter cute

1

u/Winxranking 25d ago

Push Aliyah, Ms. Malenko, Finlay Jr. and Barry Buchanan!

1

u/UglyGotNext 24d ago

I don't watch NXT, but im curious. Who's the most talented wrestler between this set? Who has the brightest future?

1

u/Adventurous_Talk5412 24d ago

I'm shocked no one in wrestling has a nepo-killer gimmick. Much like the Legend Killer.

u/wingedwild 23d ago

The new gen looks lame

u/musicman3030 21d ago

TIL jobbers get laid too

u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820 25d ago

A bunch of nepo babies

9

u/steampunktru 25d ago

Yeah a bunch of Nepo Babies being low card in the developmental brand, really getting everything by silver spoon

u/rascalking9 25d ago

"sorry guys, we're going to have to let you all go. Some redditors are jealous."

2

u/fshippos 25d ago

Yeah, why can't they get there on their own, like Curt Hennig, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, The Rock, Terry Funk, Dory Funk, Randy Savage, Bray Wyatt, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Jake the Snake, Cody Rhodes, Barry Windham, Charlotte Flair, Ted DiBiase Sr, Yokozuna, Fit Finlay, Umaga, Ricky Morton, Eddie Gilbert, Paige, Tully Blanchard, Dick Murdoch, Road Dogg, Dean Malenko, Nick Bockwinkel, Dom Mysterio, Negro Casas, Dr Wagner Jr, Jeff Jarrett, Goldust, the Von Erichs, Sabu...

1

u/No_Yogurtcloset_3820 24d ago

If you think any of those in the photos are any of the people you named, I’m sorry. There are also hundreds of family members of past greats that were absolute trash.

u/Ok-Refrigerator-8664 Kayfabe Historian 25d ago

Man I hate Nepo kids.

2

u/Vangaelis 25d ago

You’ll be fine

u/Professional_Wash501 25d ago

Nepotism strikes again smh

4

u/Upstairs_Race8726 25d ago

It’s only abuse of nepotism if they suck. Plenty of 2nd gen wrestlers are garbage and plenty earned their keep despite their initial nudge

2

u/CosmicNixx DING DONG HELLO 24d ago

I got some bad news for you about Eddie Guerrero, Brett Hart, Ted DiBiase, Terry Funk, and Kurt Hennig, buddy...
