Niners Fan in CT Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Sasha's heel promos were good. That was a long time ago, that was NXT. I have no faith in WWE creative. Etc. I think I hit all the boxes there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thinking about it, Sasha and Bayley are acting exactly the way I would expect Triple H proteges to act. It seems like a problem with NXT in general. They get there and get this impression they are big stars, so when they get called up, they think they have already made it. Or not, who knows, but it does seem like its the NXT people who do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I think half the wrestlers in the WWE look sad to be there. Even before KofiMania started even New Day looked like they were just going through the motions and didn't care. They all look like Chris Jericho looked before he finally took time off that first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorceressKnight Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 21 hours ago, Brian Fowler said: Sasha and Bayley won worst feud in the observer despite I think only having one match against each other last year. It was the worst booking in the company (and considering Zayn/Lashley and Styles/Nak, that's saying something) Well, devil's advocate there- the Sasha/Bayley feud was kind of given a bad rap by the Observer. Let the record show that Kenny Omega vs. Cody was considered one of the BEST feuds of 2018, even though it was effectively the same feud as Bayley/Sasha (two friends who were teammates. One of them starts having more success. The other is jealous. They keep sniping at each other for a few months, but then instead of getting the heel turn and kicking it into overdrive, the other suddenly says "sorry, we cool?" and they become friends again abruptly.) 18 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: Doubt it's true. Could be character assassination. If true, disappointing. Back to hibernation. I don't buy the story for a second on the grounds: We remember Wrestlemania 21, when Rhyno threw the flower pot and got fired (or even for less remembered things from the time: Chilly Willy, who got a development deal after his time in the Iraq War, got fired for having a war flashback at the same weekend.) It's 100% crystal clear, and has been for a while, WWE policy is "You are on your BEST BEHAVIOR Wrestlemania week, and if you screw up in any way, we will fire you over it." (Even the "but AEW changed the game" thing doesn't work, since Mania 21 happened in 2005, when people truly believed TNA might stand a chance at competing with WWE.) Point is- if this rumor on Sasha and Bayley was true, they would have been TURBO-FIRED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 What? Cody turned heel*, they had two main event level matches, then reunited. Totally different. *Well they were both kinda heels to start, but he turned from cool heel to heel hell heel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasha and Bayley would make bigger waves out there than Rhyno did in 2005. "Laying down" is open to interpretation in terms of how shitty it is. Throwing a flower pot is pretty cut and dry. I'm not buying it. Edit: Edited to remove my "Poor logic" jab. That was uncalled for. Edited April 13, 2019 by West Newbury Bad Boy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing a flower pot is pretty cut and dry. Poor logic. Again, the same points. Rhyno's was cut and dry, but you had other arguments there as well. The Chilly Willy thing was not a blip in the universe, but "fire the war veteran for having a flashback" is shitty on WWE's side. Even the "Rhyno didn't make bigger waves" thing wasn't a big thing, since Matt Hardy also got fired the same weekend for his bullshit that time, and it's arguable to say 2005 Matt Hardy's waves on the open market would be pretty comparable to the wave Sasha and Bayley would make on the open market in 2019. (Not even mentioning that in Bayley's case, AEW may not even want her since they locked up Kylie Rae, who's being positioned as AEW's answer to Bayley and, if the rumor is true, may be easier to EXIST with.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Matt Hardy kinda set the bar for wacky antics to get fired. And I loved that shit then too. Gaining weight and eating the shit out of some grapes on youtube. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and WWE wouldn't want to sign Tanahashi because they already have Eric Bougenhagen who can also play the air guitar or Okada because Shane is Vince's son and they can just have money rain on the crowd during his entrances or Naito because Andrade already does the tranquilo pose.

This wasn't the Matt Hardy gaining weight and eating grapes- this was post-Lita/Edge/Matt love triangle Matt Hardy where he was being an emo kid and planning gimmicks based on it.

Victator Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 When Matt was released in 05, it was because he was accused of slashing Edge's tires. Which was a whole situation involving other people. Then they brought him back two months later and Matt heavily implied he was never released in the first place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're picking the weirdest hill to die on. Multiple people in this thread aren't even aware of this booboo face thing, others have asked for evidence and none has been provided, but you still coming back to it. Regarding stealing the IIconics thunder, first of all, the number of pages discussing something on DVDVR isn't exactly any kind of good barometer. Secondly, there aren't multiple pages discussing the IIconics partly because they're only good in small doses and compared to most others on the roster, they're not as interesting. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Back in 2007, I noticed I started noticing whenever Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin were going to lose. They came out looking like their puppy had been hit by a truck. When they were going to win, they looked enthusiastic. The NXT people are pretty easy to read. But in the end its a matter of opinion. Or we end up examining it like the Zapruder film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
