mattdangerously Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If anyone is curious to see their newest signing, Brennan Williams, here's his last match in Reality of Wrestling: His opponent, Gino, is apparently the son of one of the lesser-known members of Los Gringos Locos.

Red is Dead Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 So Ciampa & Gargano win the titles in the opener, celebrate, then Gargano gets out his phone as the next match intros are run, right? They have to go full circle on this with Brooklyn. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 The GloriousBomb could be the 2016 version of the 316 beeper call that Austin would make to know shit was going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Okay - I guess this needs to be said On the Takeover Conference Call - Triple H said that Corey Graves is WWE now and that there will be a new announcer for NXT (or more than one) It wasn't clear when exactly that is happening but I am assuming at most Graves calls Takeover but someone else works the tapings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Why does HHH hate us?!? Unless Regal is coming back to the booth, in which case, YAY HHH! Seriously though, they might as well use HBK for that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 If it's a dweeb no-name for an announcer I'll be really annoyed. The NXT commentary team was my favorite bar none before CWC started. Graves going all Heenan-like with the right guy to play off of him was a joy to my ears. I'm hoping since that will be stopped that he goes all Heenan on Byron now. I'm really hoping for somebody worthwhile to replace him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Graves leaving the booth is just damn disappointing to hear. I can't see anyone being a worthy replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am wondering if they are trying to get someone to make the transition - similar to like Graves - who they move from full time wrestler to full time announcer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably if he's already started training/teaching the finishing class at the Performance Center, he's familiar with the roster. I don't know if he's started teaching it yet though.

Go2Sleep Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 That sucks that Corey won't be doing NXT, but he has tremendously improved Raw already. I guess he can't be everywhere. Long term, it's tough to see who could replace him because (a) he was such a natural in the booth and (b) worked with the roster and had his finger directly on the pulse with everyone's character and the audience they were presented to. Maybe they'll get lucky and another "going nowhere" midcarder like Wesley Blake will find his real calling is as an announcer. In the mean time, maybe Big E can fill in for a round of tapings while he heals from his ringpostitis to pick on young boy Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm hoping it's Bloom or Regal. Although with Pearce and Del Rey going up to the main roster full time, I'm guessing it won't be, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Bloom wasn't terrible before, and maybe with training he could get there, but talking was really never his strong suit. Obviously Regal could do it, but as authority figure, he seems to already have his on-camera role set, and I'd hate to change that because the MR has so overdone the heel authority figure trope that it's nice that they're finally remembering "Oh yeah, maybe let's not hit the fans across the face with the people ostensibly in charge who are also the people actually in charge shitting on them every week."
