Ryan Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 4 hours ago, Craig H said: Exactly. I think Roman pulls it off well enough too because he also has a larger frame. Gargano is another I don't like doing the spear, but at least his is a slingshot spear. Having played American Football and knowing how to tackle someone is probably part of it.

SorceressKnight Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 38 minutes ago, Pete said: Hell, JT Southern was more credible in the gimmick. He exposed Hammer badly when they feuded. Yeah- JT Southern's credibility is like Maxx Payne, and bother give the excuse for why Van Hammer failed- unlike Van Hammer, Southern and Payne actually knew how to play guitar and were able to show that they could onscreen. Van Hammer was an example of the longstanding wrestling rule: If you have a prop as part of your gimmick, and you don't use it on your way to the ring, then everyone knows for a fact you don't know how.

The Natural Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, Craig H said: At the very least for Edge, STOP DOING THE SPEAR. Fine, you did it last night, but you have other finishers you can use. Him continuing the spear is just asking for something awful to happen. Bring back the Edgecator, like that submission move. Cool when Edge started using it again in 2011. Edited January 28, 2020 by The Natural 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The NXT push is finished. They beat AEW in the ratings one time and that was it. Look at how every NXT representative did in the Rumble matches - the only ones who got any kind of shine were Big Strong Keith Lee and Big Strong Bianca Belair. Vince has given up on NXT. He's got the XFL to worry about now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Similar to the Dynamic Dudes carrying skateboards to the ring, etc.) Eerie moment for me. I saw these posts just minutes before I was watching Clash X where after Cactus Jack jobs to Mil Mascaras, he attacks and brawls with JT Southern. Then I thought about the story Mick told about that night where Joe Blanchard, who was in charge of the ring crew, asked Mick backstage since he put over Mil and then put over a fucking drummer, can he put over Joe. I think the point here is even if you know how to use a prop at a proficient level, in a wrestling setting, it's probably going to be goofy anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had the same number of eliminations as Bianca in a 1/3 of the time. Or are we not considering Shanya NXT anymore since she is Becky's Mania opponent?

AxB Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 There was a Women's Rumble on NXT TV a week and a half ago. There were callback spots to it in the Women's Rumble at the Royal Rumble event, which nobody on commentary brought up. If Vince cared about pushing the brand, they'd have been "If you're loving this action, you can see these NXT Superstars every Wednesday night LIVE on USA!". But, naaah.

He said he went to at least 6 non wwe shows over wrestlemania weekend, and he’s doing wrestling mannerisms in playoff games and then describing them to clueless reporters. I don’t think there’s any embarrassment or anything, he seems like a super fan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how things work though if he's going to give them love then I would give him the VIP treatment when AEW heads to the west coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
