Curt McGirt Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 So not only did Shotzi lose her last name, she blew her knee out doing nothing. Ooof. I have found a formula for when I don't need to watch an episode of NXT: multi-segment backstage interview, multiple sightings of Chase U logo, the Russian wearing a suit instead of trunks and boots. Any one of these three is a warning but a trifecta is a bonafide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 If you would told people last year that the two main people defending the honor of wrestling would be Grayson Waller and Austin Theory they would said your lying. Austin almost had to throw hands at a reporter. Also what is with these Australians and thoughts on wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to blame a reporter for thinking that trash talking a probably jetlagged, professional athlete is a good idea. Then Australia wonders why they never get any events. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think WWE should sprint, not walk to get Rollin's belt on McIntyres waist. His current heel persona combined with holding a high belt is a perfect combo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Drew McIntyre on THAT shirt: During a recent interview with The West Sport, McIntyre opened up about how this meme t-shirt materialized. “My mate had an idea for the meme after the segment where I took Punk out. It was that meme with the lad over the grave doing the peace sign. He was like, ‘That’d be hilarious if you did it [for] something with Punk.’ So he got that together, and it exploded,” McIntyre said. “It was funny. I put it out on Twitter, and then it got I got 100,000 likes or something, millions and millions of views. I was like, ‘I’m on to something here.’ So I called the WWE merchandise department and basically told them, ‘Either you’re going to make me the shirt for next Monday or I’m going to make it myself ’cause I’m wearing this on television. I’ve got an idea and it’s going to be hilarious and [get] so much heat. Thankfully, they worked with me, got a version that worked for television.” McIntyre’s official t-shirt reveal occurred on the February 5 episode of WWE RAW, where he interrupted an in-ring segment between Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. “I had that moment where I unzipped my hoodie and ripped it off so the camera could get the shot of Punk’s gravestone saying ‘CM Punk WrestleMania main event’ buried under the ground, me over the top of it smiling. I could hear people laughing their heads off. It turned into a cool moment,” McIntyre said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godfrey Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 There's an outside possibility they go with Rollins vs McIntyre vs Zayn too. Not my preference but sometimes Mania matches are more about crowding people in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I want McIntyre to beat Rollins, and then hold it for a spell, not sure how long, but I think if McIntyre wins, Zayn HAS to be the one to take it off of him. They've made such a big deal about Zayn never being able to beat him and now we have Zayn's "losing streak" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my preference but sometimes Mania matches are more about crowding people in I can see that happening. Drew McIntyre and Sami Zayn carry the injured Seth Rollins who can dip in and out in a triple threat. 26 minutes ago, StuntmanCrowley said: I want McIntyre to beat Rollins, and then hold it for a spell, not sure how long, but I think if McIntyre wins, Zayn HAS to be the one to take it off of him.

I know it might be a bit of a "repeat", but I really think Gunther should lose to a debuting Ilja Dragunov. Sort of keep him as the only person who truly has Gunther/Walters number in NXT/WWE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuntmanCrowley Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Plus, giving those two a big stage for their wars would be tremendous. I can't even call their showdowns "matches", they were just wars of attrition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be down for that, I feel like they’ll have to do some heavy lifting (har har) to get Gable to that level again. He’s been Shooshing so long audiences may have forgotten he can be intense too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 8 hours ago, The Natural said: Drew McIntyre is on his best run ever. I hope he eventually gets Roman's title. I hope he gets to be the top Champion like I believe he should have been after Clash at the Castle. Cody probably will have already been champion by then which is still cool with me. Drew doesn't have to be the one that beats Reigns. I just think it would such for him to stay here just to be just below the Champ. He may not ever be even a Cody level of a true draw where he's drawing in merch and fans and his level but WWE atleast right now is doing good business. He's like a younger Shaemus, believable as hell in the ring. Now he's cutting clutch promos right now. 2 - 3 months ago, I thought he was gone soon. I wanted him to go somewhere else. I wanted him to go to New Japan and be like AJ did years ago. Now I feel like WWE is probably the best place for him right now. It's crazy because I couldn't wait for him to get out a few months ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) They would take off the first name, give her a perm and put her in a gray jumpsuit instead. "Get away from her, you bitch!" would be her new catchphrase. Edited February 23 by Curt McGirt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common mistake. Exactly. He didn't know he was dealing with Austin Theory. See what he was accused of in 2020 for more info. Also, being essentially told "What you do for work and what you traveled 20+ hours to do here, is stupid." MIGHT be taken poorly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
