Rehabilitated Rick Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 He's done pretty well with Alexa and Charlotte. Owens too. Yes Alexa is very good, don't @ me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 (edited) AHAHAHAHA I’m listening to the Meltzer interview, and Fumi Saito said that Rossy almost sold Stardom to the WWE because they said they were willing to put him in the Hall of Fame. He ultimately went with Bushiroad because, like the WWF buying WCW, they had no fucking plans to do anything with it anytime soon.

As said above yes, to Cambodia. Somebody reposted on here earlier an unidentified talent's Twitter post complaining about OWE and Cima in particular, saying the talent weren't paid and were put in debt to OWE, that China was entirely a bust, Cima was a racist that hated Occidental wrestlers, etc. It was scathing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 WWE is gonna need to figure out which puro legends (that aren’t already in the WWE HOF) own vanity feds. Find one of them who’ll be willing to turn their feds into 2000s OVW for NXT Japan trainees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This really hasn't happened on tv yet? That is surprising. Personally I'm stoked for Roman vs. Shinsuke. I've been wanting that match since the faceoff in the Royal Rumble.

Their only one on one stuff was three matches on a house show loop. But that was last month, so it may be on TV in the near future. Closest we got on TV was a triple threat match with Balor, which was predictably very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmellingtonofCascadia Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 3 hours ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Yeah, that was 4 years ago. If you told anyone in 2015 what has happened in the last 4 years, they'd lock you in a cage and throw away the key. Funnily enough, I was looking back through some of the older posts in the WWE area, and I scrolled through those NXT big show and multi-month threads from 2015 and 2016 and, wow, that promotion was so hot that it made us believe again. The only solace that I have is that I was not alone in thinking that Bayley and Sami were cannot-miss babyfaces. And then in this thread maybe a week ago, I saw a picture of Dark Bayley with a new hairdo and dark eyeliner under her face looking all mean, and all I can say is that if she didn't change her look specifically to do the Crow Sting storyline and she's just a typical heel now, uh, FUCK THAT. And I don't even watch anymore, but I actually feel some kinda way about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 From someone who's hanging in there and still watching, I'll say the turn was overdue and pretty well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Sami, though... Fuck... He has his moments as a heel, but it’s only meme stuff. Nothing that sticks at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I really like his OTT ring work as a heel. Like most on the roster, it's a shame he hasn't had much to do. But he's more than just meme-able. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 That smackdown card looks exactly like when they last split the rosters a few years back. Nothing has changed at all. Same people in the same roles they've always been in. Nobody beyond Shield guys and Brock have emerged as a fresh new star. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 yeah, I get the feeling there's some people who watch WWE programming who'd feel weird inside if they were consistently happy after shows 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Take this for what it is worth - from the new WON that was just posted Quote “Eric had absolutely no vision, and once we were headed into FOX, everything was falling through the cracks,” said one WWE official. “He messed up multiple times with FOX. Eric also had no stamina for the rigors of the job.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
