Tromatagon 9,091 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Basically what happened is someone, either Vince or Steph or Dunn, mandated accent reduction classes for the roster, because they want accents to be Sheamus' thing, and only his. These two spoke up and are in the doghouse for it 1 Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyJ 1,067 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Instead-of making Smackdown Divas-only, or giving them Superstars or whatever, how about the first or last hour of Raw? The divas need the nxt treatment. Put them in a low cost tiny space in front of an an audience who would dig what they are trying to do. At this time putting the divas in front of 10,000 plus fans isn't doing anyone any favors. Link to post Share on other sites

The Nature Boy 1,845 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Speaking of accent reduction, I always wonder what Vince sounded like before he was able to reduce his Southern accent. Honestly, Vince's own struggles with his accent might explain why he hates Southern accents. Link to post Share on other sites

Go2Sleep 1,451 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Didn't Paige get into some trouble at a bar a couple months back? Although I'm sure the real answer is that Paige's losing streak is supposed to fuel her jealousy heel turn and Cesaro's just in "creative has nothing for you" hell, but that's not very exciting.

nate 5,253 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Getting ahead of the panic, I hope Cesaro doesn't go to TNA upon release. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Nature Boy 1,845 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 TNA has Drew McIntyre and Derrick Bateman feuding with Matt Hardy over the World Title. Cesaro is above all of those people in popularity at this point. Link to post Share on other sites
The Great ML 1,467 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Truth be told, the last series of Hasbros was pretty hard to find in the states too, at least in my area of California. They were down to one peg at most stores and would just be multiples of one Smoking GunnOne of the smartest things I did as a kid was buy the entire green card line of Hasbros and kept them in the package. I sold the whole set for $500.Edit: As for accents, a pet peeve when viewing 1984-1985 WWF TV is Vince referring to it as the World Rustling Federation. You're trying too hard, bro.

JonnyLaw 3,302 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In hindsight, it is funny we joked about Cesaro being buried when Big Show kept knocking him out, only to find out that, yeah, he was apparently being buried. Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 13,953 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If Cesaro is being buried, my guess is that it's because Vince has a bug up his ass about Austin talking up Cesaro in regard to how they're badly booking him and Cesaro not being as over post-TJ injury because, you know, it always works wonders for someone's popularity to pull them off of TV, unless it's to be made to look like a fool. I also wouldn't be surprised if Cesaro caught heat for TJ's injury too just because of how little sense it would make. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryback getting buried in the immediate future considering his tweets about Cena's merch. Link to post Share on other sites
DTTW 278 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 - Final question was on Gabe Sapolsky and the relationship there between Dragon Gate USA & Evolve, specifically Johnny Gargano's recent appearance, and whether they are a feeder system for NXT. HHH says he sees all of it as a feeder system, he really like what they do, and wants to support their shows. He said if he didn't have room at the P.C. for talent and wanted them to get additional work, he'd send them to Gabe. He said the indie undercurrents are healthy for the business, and would do anything he could for them. HHH, shit on by the internet for years, actively trying to help the indies...weird. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
The Nature Boy 1,845 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Triple H working with Gabe Sapolsky is something that nobody would have called 10 years ago. The world is a weird place. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
The Man Known as Dan 3,757 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 On note, if Cesaro was let go by the E, he would not be going to TNA, he'd most likely go to Japan and be amazing there. Link to post Share on other sites

Then again he'd probably feel indebted to NOAH and we'd just get him against Lance Archer or something. Him and Minoru Suzuki might be cool though. Link to post Share on other sites
mattdangerously 6,939 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I'm genuinely curious as to why he doesn't ask for his release so he can go to New Japan or back to ROH, because it's pretty clear he'll never get pushed higher than he already has. Vince's big talking point during the Austin podcast was that Cesaro wasn't connecting with fans. But then Cesaro went out and got over, and they still didn't want to do shit with him.

Perhaps he enjoys making a decent living not killing himself and being close to his significant other? Also, I'm sure if he stays in the WWE he will eventually have a cushy road agent or training gig. Dude is set for a long time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
odessasteps 13,957 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 1. Money 2. Significant other has important and increasing role in company 3. Useful for PR even if booked crappily Im no wwf fan, but i dont know quick i would willingly give up job security because of a bad push. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
