AxB Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The WWE roster is made up entirely of people who take more than a hundred flights a year. Most likely every one of them has plenty of experience in planes not taking off due to having mechanical problems, and it taking an hour or two to get it fixed (or a replacement flight). So when it suddenly takes more than ten hours, that's going to get suspicions going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 So this story could swing like how the “conventional wisdom” on the David Von Erich death swung from “it was drugs” to “maybe it wasn’t actually drugs and he had an eating disorder” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Gastrointeritis, not an eating disorder. I've always looked at that kind of askance since I'm sure Brody flushed a bunch of pills, but after watching the last Von Erich thing on Viceland I pretty much accept it.

SirSmUgly Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) HBK sounded like a frog (specifically like the bastard fifth-cousin of Kermit the Frog, honestly, you won't be able to un-hear it), but on the flip side, I'd rather watch him throw a temper-tantrum in the ring than watch Rollins do anything except for maybe be the fifth-best guy in six-man tags with the Wyatts, so...advantage Michaels!

Niners Fan in CT Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I thought Rollins was at his best in those six-man tags. Get his ass kicked, bump around like crazy and then hit a few "holy shit" spots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just playing devils advocate here, but this is a charter luxury airplane so it's not like they conveniently have a spare airplane in a hanger somewhere.

Guest Edwin Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Is there truthfully any probability Batista would be at Bloodsport during WM weekend? Not sure what the budget GCW has, but I don't think they would have Killer Kross call out Batista for a match at Bloodsport if there wasn't an agreement if some sort already in place. The match would probably suck, but the novelty of a retired Batista returning to take a worked shoot against Killer Kross in a ring with no ropes during WM would be interesting.

So in a limited window, do you go all-out to try and get people back on late Friday night instead of Saturday morning when it means nothing to Smackdown anyways, or do you let things playout to get them back on Saturday morning. So maybe they should get it in writing to save themselves from batshit crazy 80s scheduling or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 To be honest, Seth Rollins going at Dave Meltzer is one of the most entertaining things that Rollins has done lately. But the situation just smells like we should get a 4 vs 4 vs 4 Survivor Series match where Rollins walks out on his team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really hasn't gotten the credit for what he brought to the Wyatt Family package. Honestly, it was a lightning in the bottle thing for all 6 of them and no one should feel bad about their performance in those matches or the angle. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custos Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 5 hours ago, LoneWolf&Subs said: In defense of Seth, that’s how his mentor rose up the ranks. Now he just needs a decade to seal the deal. Yeah, Aurora Rose is only thirteen /s To Craig’s point, HHH has mostly done it the right way, he pretty much has all the tools now. His main failings are - still being prone to self-aggrandisement (did anyone see that Network (?) trailer for NXT that was basically HHH and a laundry list of descriptors making him out as the second coming?) - the old man not moving aside at peak time for him - a blind spot either due to his upbringing, social circles or wrestling bubble which allows things like the Jordan Myles t shirt seeing the light of day. This can be mitigated by surrounding himself and listening to a more diverse team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I knew Jericho was a weirdo, but yeah, disappointing. I'm not particularly interested in watching him do anything after seeing that, which, you know, damn it, I was enjoying the Cody/Jericho stuff.
