JonnyLaw Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Cody is also saying that he is doing the trademarks just to "protect his Father's intellectual property" and that it. EVE Pro Wrestling already tweeted him asking if they could keep using "Battlebowl" and he said go right ahead. Now - it clearly was done somewhat tongue in cheek but it does appear that (if granted) he won't be enforcing them unless the WWE tries it (or someone does some egregious) Kinda like how MLW trademarked WarGames just so they could still use the name They would have to enforce it to some extent or else they could lose the trademark.

The Natural Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I like how Velveteen Dream busts out special gear for his TakeOver matches such as long boxing shorts versus Kassisus Ohno and as Fuck Hollywood Hulk Hogan against Tommaso Ciampa. I see MMA type gear when the Velveteen Dream goes up against Matt Riddle on this show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I’m more interested in Dream’s attire after the match. Ideally, he won’t have a belt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Cincinnati Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Dream’s good. But for a big show like this, you know Riddle’s going to bring his workin’ flip flops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Velveteen Dream in NXT for a little longer may do him good, added experience plus the hits and misses of NXT callups on the main roster. Also be nice to get some stability for the NXT North American Championship. Counting the first champion, Adam Cole, we've had four champions in less than a year.

Eivion Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) I want Dream to have a long reign and the be the first double NA/NXT champion. This will not happen and it makes me Edited March 23, 2019 by Eivion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) I feel somewhat bad for the UK fans that they're not getting Walter/Dunne on one of their Takeovers, and it seems like this match has been kind of rushed. It's said Walter was signed specifically for NXT:UK because he didn't want to move to the US, so it's not as if they have to blow through this match to get Walter his title reign before he gets moved to the main roster.

Niners Fan in CT Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 I think it's good in a way because I expect Dunne and WALTER will put on a show and it's going to have the most eyeballs on it so maybe some people will see that match and then want to see more of them on NXT UK. I am also biased because I want to see this match lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was pissed about it when I read about it being announced at the tapings, but assuming they didn't pump in crowd noise, the UK fans seemed to be happy for it so I can't really complain much anymore. Still I figured it was going to be the selling point of the next UK Takeover whenever that will be so I'm surprised they went with it now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dude is young so there isn't a big need to rush. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 Agreed but my opinion is, frankly, he should have lost the belt months ago at this point. Walter's as good a candidate as any, but Dunne either needs to be chasing or called up. I am probably alone in this opinion, but I don't think he's anywhere near good enough to have been champ for basically 2 straight years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can sense some will have very strong opinions on this if they got wind of it. But it's the combination of being really great with MOTY candidate matches and the right now lack of quality replacement in the UK roster that keeps him as champ. If anybody will take the title off of him it will very likely be WALTER. I see him chasing the title for awhile and hopefully it will lead to other wrestlers stepping up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you, I think Dunne has been great to watch but he’s only been champ so long because they debuted the title way before the actual division to support it. Not sure why they didn’t give Bate more of a run with it first but outside of flipping the belt between those two guys there hasn’t really been a real challenger until WALTER (I didn’t buy Coffey was going to win for a second). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am probably alone in this opinion, but I don't think he's anywhere near good enough to have been champ for basically 2 straight years. I sort of disagree. Dunne is pretty easily the best and most over guy in NXT UK. The only guy who comes close is Bate who was the first champ and probably could have used another 3-4 months as champ before dropping the belt to him. The only reason I would say Dunne shouldn't have been champ for 2 years straight is because Bate should have had a longer reign in the first place. Otherwise no one else really has the in ring talent or star power. Gibson and Coffey have grown and stepped up a bit, but both were definitely lacking in comparison. WALTER is the first guy to come around and really make you think Dunne should probably lose. Edited March 26, 2019 by Eivion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Another vote here for enjoying Pete Dunne's long reign as WWE United Kingdom Champion. Notable achievement having a reign so long and at least Dunne is constantly there defending it unlike Brock Lesnar. Last time the WWE UK Championship was defended on the main NXT TakeOver, Dunne beat Tyler Bate for it at NXT TakeOver: Chicago 2017 in the WWE MOTY. This will be the end of the run, a changing of the guard. I'd like Bate to get a second reign again.
