For some reason, Luke Harper and Sheamus are in the main event. Tyler Breeze catwalks his way to his iconic NXT debut, and The Ascension 3.0 (4.0?) are competing together at last.

Tyler Breeze and CJ Parker end their misbooked rivalry in our main event this week. Summer Rae has a second chance at Paige's NXT Women's Championship. Alexander Rusev takes business into his own hands. And Jason Jordan makes his return to NXT, after 14 months away from TV.

Leo Kruger makes his return to NXT, apparently. Kassius Ohno and Luke Harper execute the only wrestling of the episode in our main event. Alexander Rusev officially transfers managers. And The Ascension and Mojo Rawley enjoy their endless run of squash matches.

In the fallout from #HeadbandGate, a scandal that divided this very podcast, Charlotte joins Sasha and Summer in The BFFs. Lana has a new mandate for Rusev, in Russian. Mason Ryan makes his freakish return. Aiden English is denied a spotlight. And in our main event, Adrian Neville and Corey Graves do battle in NXT's second ever 2 Out of 3 Falls match.

NXT is back on the rails! As JBL announces NXT's first ever Beat the Clock Challenge, to name a new contender for Bo Dallas. Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Tyler Breeze (and more!) all vie for the chance at gold. We also get injury updates on some top NXT talent, and Hunico makes his return to reunite with Camacho.

After last week's dramatic Beat the Clock Challenge, Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn battle in our main event for the #1 Contendership to Bo's title. Lots of backstage segements for the Divas division, but yet again zero wrestling. Alexander Rusev continues to target Kassius Ohno, and Cesaro returns to NXT to begin some beef with one William Regal...

After two weeks of competition, Adrian Neville gets his shot at the NXT Championship. Paige defends her Women's Championship against Natalya, in a "bloodline" battle. Cesaro continues to target Byron Saxton, and everyone is talking about Sami Zayn.

It's all hype for next week's NXT 200th (79th) episode spectacular, so the Lads don't really have much to sink their teeth into this week. The Ascension continue to be a black-and-red-tinted memory, Bayley finds a friend in Natalya and Leo Kruger wants to be a Real American. Plus we say goodbye to Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero), after the final match of his first NXT run.

We've made it to Triple H's 200th (79th) Episode Spectacular! Where we celebrate the last 200 (79) episodes of NXT. Well, maybe three of them. There's another lovely bunch of lumberjacks in our main event, a pair of indie darlings don't fair so well against The Ascension, and a cracking tag-team match to open our "bigger and better" era of NXT.

Merry Everyone! It's December 25th 2013, you're about to sit down for Christmas dinner with your family, but first you have to check out William Regal vs Antonio Cesaro in Regal's retirement match. You won't be able to eat your pigs in blankets, because you'll be too full from all that quality wrestling.

The Lads also review their Annals of NXT History, and hand out some highly subjective awards, chronicling a year in the black and gold brand.

Happy New Year! As in the new year of 2014, because we begin our coverage of one of the best years in NXT history. Although, maybe this isn't the strongest of starts. Emma finally gets a respectable #1 contenders match, Mason Ryan gets squashed, and Sami Zayn and Leo Kruger have one of the strangest 2 Out of 3 falls matches ever.

We're still waiting on the announcement that will kick-start NXT's 2014, so until then we dissect The Ascension's tornado tag-team match against Hunico and Camacho, in Hunico's last ever match as Hunico. Bayley gets a singles win, but shorter than usual matches don't impress the lads this week. But don't worry, wrestling stars ICP feature in this week's News Desk.

COO Triple H announces NXT ArRival, which sounds like someone from Newcastle describing Sunderland AFC. Our opening match of Adrian Neville vs Tyler Breeze is a great example of NXT in 2014. Our main event of Kofi Kingston vs Alexander Rusev? Not so much. Plus, Double J makes his return to NXT, Mojo Rawley makes some new fans, and CJ Parker is also here.

Adrian Neville makes his intentions clear during Bo's historic banner raising ceremoy. Charlotte officially joins the BFFs, but then doesn't appear at ringside with them. Rusev gets ANOTHER squash match. But at least Sami Zayn brings some sense, as he challenges Cesaro to one more match, to right his wrong from 2013.

Bo Dallas brings a brand new energy to Adrian Neville's contract signing. Six matches means very little actual wrestling, but the NXT midcard looks strong with some solid character work from Big Cass, Tyler Breeze and Bayley. Plus, Silver Surfer hosts auditions for his new client.

Triple H has a huge announcement regarding the stipulation for Adrian Neville and Bo Dallas on February 27th! (he's still not named the event that's three weeks away). Aiden English has some abhorant, top-heel opinions. The Divas division begins some faction warfare, and it turns out Colin Cassidy is our best booked babyface.

You'd think NXT ArRival was still many weeks away, but we're close and they're not hyping many matches. Zayn vs Cesaro IV gets locked-in by Triple H, and there's some hype for Paige vs Emma in the Divas segment, but with so many top stars injured, the build is rough. Colin Cassady falls down our babyface rankings through no fault of his own, and CJ Parker turns heel on the NXT universe.

We can only assume a "Go Home" show is supposed to make you want to go home and watch the show. It seems like NXT forgot to book half of their champions in matches, with a half-finished lackluster build from the Divas division, and nothing planned for YAH YAH YAH - The Ascension. However, Tyler Breeze and Adrian Neville save the show - With a great little main event match.

We finally arrive at NXT ArRival, with the event itself being much better than the build. Sami Zayn and Antonio Cesaro deliver in their historic rivalry-ending match. The Ascension are surprised by Too Cool. Paige and Emma do the best they can with bad booking. And Adrian Neville ascends to the top of the brand, in NXT's first ever ladder match.

With just a Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville rematch to look forward to, NXT slows down once more. With Colin Cassady unfairly being put in a 12 minute main event against Bo. Paige and Sasha Banks have the best match of the episode, the Welsh Wizard is back (to Pete's annoyance) and Graham dreams of Yoshi.

It's time for some Arrival Vengeance, as we watch not one, not two, but three rematches from last month. Bo Dallas and Adrian Neville manage to deliver in the main event, Charlotte and Natalya show signs of promise, but one of our panel was more captivated by *legendary* WWE and NJPW wrestler, Yoshi Tatsu.

NEW TAPING ALERT! For whatever reason Brodus Clay makes his final flop in WWE, and it's a feud with our NXT Champion Adrian Neville. We're in for a long taping people. Corey Graves and Sami Zayn settle their concussion-based rivalry in the main event. Emma makes her final appearance as a full-time member of the NXT roster. And Konnor of The Ascension drops a man on his neck/head.

Ten years ago it was WrestleMania 30, YestleMania. However, they weren't feeling the movement down in Florida.

We return to the Doldrums of NXT History, as we watch the worst episode of NXT at Full Sail to date. Bo Dallas can't save the episode with his infamous Occupy NXT segment, as he faces a heatless, returning Justin Gabriel in the main event. The Great Khali is a genuine cause for concern, and Brodus Clay plods along in his feud with Adrian Neville.

As threatened last week, we get a series of matches that take us back 18 months to the early days of NXT. Headline matches such as Camacho vs Oliver Grey...

But don't worry, The Great Khali is here to save the day with his excellent workrate, so the episode isn't a total wash. Join us for this relaxed chat through six male-centric matches, as Triple H has clearly put NXT on the back burner between episodes. Is the promised land just around the corner, or was NXT not as good as we remember?

We finally make it to the end of this cursed taping, and pretty soon we'll get to Takeover. The Bloodline forms in 2014, as Sami Zayn teams with The Usos. Paige surrenders her NXT Women's Championship, and is pinned by Charlotte anyway. Tyson Kidd makes a welcome return against an unwelcome opponent. And Corey Graves has his final ever televised professional wrestling match.

A very hoarse Triple H announces the first ever NXT Takeover event! And as we're on the road to Takeover, the tournament to crown a new NXT Women's Champion kicks off with a great match, and a not-so great match. Tyson Kidd gains some momentum, and Adrian Neville defends his title against Brodus Clay in Clay's last ever WWE match.

Pete had some technical problems and with Matt on vacation next week, we decided to have our first two-man podcast. We made it 98 episodes, pretty good streak all things considered.

A main event battle royal ("20 guys not trying to eliminate each other") decides a #1 contender for the NXT championship. Or does it...? We say farewell to three wrestlers as they graduate NXT, two of them infamous legends of this podcast. The Women's Championship tournament continues, and someone called Captain Comic has a match.
