Skeeball Wizard Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 So apparently after Corbin beat Rhyno at the nXt show in Philly last night, he demanded Joey Styles dig up another ECW alum for him to face at the show tonight. It is my hope and fervent prayer that the Sandman shows up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I would assume it is going to be RVD or Stevie Richards. Maybe Tommy Dreamer although working with TNA doesn't help. While it would get a great pop, I can't imagine Triple H would want anything to do with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offspring515 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Bubba Ray is tweeting as if it will be him, but in such an over the top way that I assume it won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Only in wrestling. Would the NXT crowd even want to see Bubba Ray? I'm assuming backstage personnel and anyone who was on the roster 10 years ago or so would be less than delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Philly absolutely the crowd would love. hell that crowd yesterday was doing a CZW and "Sami" chant for Solomon Crowe. Plus he got a good reaction at Royal Rumble Now for any other places I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick B. Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Considering the injury turmoil and the promise that Bálor will bring out "the demon" for his house show title shot at Owens, I wonder if they'll do a hotshot belt change... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Wednesday is going to be a pretty big night for Corbin. Rhyno is the most credible opponent he's faced in NXT, so I imagine this match will be a bit longer than two minutes or so. And Rhyno is a really good worker--he was carrying Sandman's drunk ass to good matches in 2000, after all--so this should be a pretty good indicator of just how far Corbin has developed. Neville, but I take your point. I forgot about that one. Good catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jrag Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 If Joe is in this kind of shape they should probably hot shot him straight to the main roster, but I'll take a few months of Joe killing fools in NXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'd rather him be in NXT at least for the rest of the spring Summer and fall because I'd barely watch WWE outside of the PPVs on the network. I'd rather him headline a few NXT live specials first, this may be our last chance at seeing the motavated Joe that was ROH champ. He already tripped over bad booking for ten years of TNA so why rush him to the risk of the same in WWE. I really gotten past wanting to rush in favorites to the main roster b/c NXT has done a good job on its own. I will say though that Neville's WWE run from what I have see has been very good thus far but it's not enough for my to trust them with the rest of my favorite NXT guys/girls yet.

Joe Fixit Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Joe has indy dates stretching into July. The theory being thrown around is that he'll be a rich man's Rhino in NXT and be allowed to work smaller indys. I can buy that since it doesn't seem likely that they'd sign a 36 year old with bad knees in the hopes of making him a full-time main roster guy.

Roman Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That picture, though... He looks great. I never thought I'd get excited about seeing Samoa Joe in action again, but I'll be damned if I'm not, simply because of that picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I wonder if Joe regrets pissing away his prime in TNA. What could WWE had done to him that would've been worse than middling around in TNA for 10 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
