One more spot for me! #grabbingthebrassring" He would not be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I wanna slap him just looking at him. Finding out he was the idiot who no sold the powerbomb makes it worse. Why did WWE sign him? Trying to make a crack about someone getting fired/released is always stupid. Because what good can come from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJ Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Twitter has its pro/cons. The major con is when some kind of story breaks there are 1000 hot takes. Every important person with a strong social media presence feels obligated to join the pile on. Inevitably the time outweighs the crime. I always crack up when some nothing player in the controversy has a dumb hot take in reference to the initial dumb take and the pile on moves over to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Awesome news about Raw, I love the way the Manhattan Center looks on WWE TV. I don't know if it's the lighting or the stage setup, but it just didn't look the same when ROH and TNA ran there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yep. When Rosa Mendes' husband is jumping in with a take, the train is off the track. And then there's Tessa Blanchard, trying to get some shine by getting in on the action--only for a few fans to remind her that she's been accused of bullying other wrestlers. What Lio did was dumb and deserved to be called out, but it didn't warrant what felt like 100 wrestlers going in on him. And many fans are even worse with their shitty perspectives.

RIPPA Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Again - Lio has a rep and it is beyond the powerbomb ladder spot This is a man who at least one occasion (and I am pretty sure it happened more than once) asked a promoter to send him a copy of his match. The promoter did with explicit instructions to not sharing with anyone. (Since the show was yet to even be released via DVD or On Demand yet). Lio immediately shared it on Twitter. Then when confronted about it said it was "to get his opponent exposure" and then eventually did the same exact bullshit apology he did in this case. And this is what we know. Who knows what has gone on in locker rooms of other indie promotions that we don't know. Plus - because of how social media works, most of the folks within wrestling responding are going to see the intial tweet and respond. Not go "Let me see if other people have responded yet" Plus Plus. Maybe some of those responding HAVE talked to him in private and he hasn't changed so the public display is they way they decided to go this time. At some point - there needs to personal accountability. Do dumb ass shit on social media. Face the consequences of doing dumb ass shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That PPV match with Asuka was fantastic, she came off as a total star there. Being on the main roster doesn't suit her at all, 5 minute matches, those awkward backstage promos that she doesn't seem to care for making an effort/play "pretend". I assume she comes back to MCW quick smart. Which goes back to what I posted about bottom roster people. They are trained for a different world in NXT. When you get to the main roster, you end up coming to a completely different promotion. No matches to tell stories at the bottom of the roster. Hit your spots and do the finish. Awkward promos because the booking does not matter. Get over but don't get over unless they want you to get over versus get over with the NXT crowd and make them care about you. It is like going from the AHL to the NHL with the WWE and NXT. Two different worlds and the training in NXT is only good for bottom roster people.

Web Conn Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I saw Taker in the graphic and I don’t think he should make an appearance if he’s really retired, Taker should never show up again. Now Mark Calloway can show up anytime he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Jimmy who isn't even an on air talent for getting a pic w the BC yet Zack Ryder (an on air talent) can tweet pics with his gf Chelsea from TNA and nobody bats an eye. Typical political BS even if BC is a bigger name than Chelsea. Ryder's not tagging them with pro-IMPACT commentary or anything. It's just some dude and his girlfriend. Jacobs went outside the venue he was supposed to be working in, took a selfie with The Bullet Club, and then posted it with something like #BCInvasion. People getting released on a Sunday is really weird. They must've tracked the Raw plague back to those three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I’m going to regret this but I watched that Lio match where he no sold the piledriver. Now I don’t watch CZW and have like no awareness of the storylines BUT the commentary lead me to believe that Lio was playing a supernatural character who harnessed like evil black magic to engage in this death match against a hated enemy. So...I mean...still not great but I mean they were taking headrops on cement blocks in the match and not dying so the piledriver wasn’t as out of context as the GIF indicated.

IIRC, he also stuck with Edge in the immediate aftermath of Litagate. His character is damn near unimpeachable. Mine on the other hand? I get far too much enjoyment out of watching it all burn down.
