Craig H Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Soooo...Do they cancel the Aleister Black merch and roll with Tommy End instead now? Or was bringing him out as Tommy End on the UK show mainly just to avoid fans shitting on a familiar face being given a new name? I know there's concern for the "TOMMY! TOMMY! TOMMY FOOKIN END!" chants, but how many people chant "KILL OWE..." oh, eww, but you get the picture. Also, how does that work contract wise? I'm guessing they just had a verbal agreement to let him come out as Tommy End with giving him the reassurance that it wouldn't mean they had a claim to that name?

Definitely the latter They could get away with it since he hasn't been on TV yet.

He's still Aleister Black on Twitter, so this was probably just a one-time pre-debut thing. They probably did it, because they knew it would get a pop as soon as his name appeared on screen. I don't know. The last part, it probably works out the same as it did with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Eric Young etc. I don't think they bought the rights to any of those names.

RIPPA Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 If they do it as a legit twitter vote - Bayley is winning and I think that comes off really awkward. Its also sad that they could only come up with Asuka, Bayley and Nia Jax for nominees. Shows how ill prepared they were for the callups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Maybe a Bayley win leads to Asuka coming for her after Wrestlemania? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 It apparently wasn't a good night at the tapings last time because Tajiri got hurt and still isn't medically cleared http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/tajiri-not-cleared-wrestle-after-suffering-knee-injury-228516?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Does Tajiri live in the US? Since he's getting up there in age, I could see him being a road agent for WWE, maybe even working with the cruiserweights exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eivion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 That makes sense. I always thought the January/March guesses seemed off. It sounds like they are planning it out similarly to the CWC which I like. It will be interesting to see who they get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Any update on the Shirai and/or Hojo coming to NXT/staying with Stardom. Part of me wonders if they delayed the Women's tournament waiting for their contracts to run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Supposedly both decided to stay though the current timing of the tournament makes me wonder if Shirai might show up for it. I expect she will have lost her title by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteCarl Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The CWC ultimately ended up being for the new Cruiserweight Title The UK Tournament was for the new UK Title What would be at stake in this new Women's Tournament?

MonteCarl Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I just wanna be sure, because I KNOW I heard it but haven't seen anybody else mention it anywhere.....but did NOBODY else catch Michael Cole spoil the fact that Kassius Ohno is back in NXT during the UK Tournament? I can't remember who was coming out to the ring, but it was during somebody's entrance where Cole mentioned that this guy was trained by so-and-so and so-and-so and also Kassius Ohno, whom you now can catch Wednesday nights back in NXT. Now, I know it's pretty common knowledge online that KO has returned to NXT, but he hasn't on TV yet and that's what matters. I just thought it strange that I haven't seen anybody else mention that yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Yeah, that was during the Tommy End match. Well, they also put up video of Ohno's return on their YouTube channel, so this is no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
