I'm being plenty glib about it, but honestly, it would not at all shock me if Vince is sick of hearing about this and told Hunter, keep 5 guys, keep 5 girls and tell the rest to go fuck themselves. Keeping the whole roster together is expensive, and the UK PC is probably sunk cost at this point. God only knows when they'll be able to perform to crowds again too, but certainly not before the end of the year. But then again, I could be completely wrong and they could be announcing a series of tapings around Europe. Who the fuck knows when it comes to Vince. 1

I could see that because it wouldn't make sense to close shop and then tell everyone they're willing to pay for them to relocate to Ronaville, Florida, USA. That would be way too costly and wouldn't go over too way. However, either way, that would probably spell the end of Walter in WWE/NXT. If I had to guess, it would be a code of conduct as Eivion stated above and at worst, an indefinite hiatus to allow for restructuring (mean more layoffs/furloughs).

The Natural Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Added to WWE's YouTube yesterday, Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles at Extreme Rules 2016. Hell of a match. Great chemistry between the two and it's the best of their matches. You want to watch it and Payback 2016 which preceded it all over again. I know it's a favourite of @Eivion's. 1

The Natural Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 16 hours ago, Niners Fan in CT said: I think this is quite possibly the best main roster women's match of them all. I'd have to think on it for a second but it's up there. There are about 5-6 NXT women's matches that I would rank ahead including the two Sasha/Bayley matches I'd say Sasha Banks vs. Charlotte Flair's Falls Count Anywhere No Disqualification match RAW main event, 28th November 2016 is the best women's match on the main roster. If we throw NXT into the talk, I'd definitely have the two Sasha Banks vs. Bayley matches at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn 2015 and Respect 2015 over it.

Edit - I mean it doesn't sound like they got rid of superstars that would force them to blow up the whole thing. They've always had this pie in the sky idea of opening WWE/NXT outposts everywhere and it's never going to work. Their more immediate goal of NXT UK was to kill off UK companies who had gotten tv deals at the time (World of Sport, maybe? I forget) and, I guess, also kill off the UK indy scene in general. Between NXT UK and all the sexual abuse allegations, I'd say that's pretty much been done. 2

Technico Support Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Johnny Cash's version is great and I'm probably in the minority but I love Marilyn Manson's version of that song.

The Natural Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Listening to Crow Sting's WCW theme and it's a shame we never had the two flagbearers of WWE, The Undertaker and Sting for WCW never going at it. Sting finally signs with WWE in 2014 and it needed to be him vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania XXXI and not what we got, Sting/HHH and Undertaker/Bray Wyatt dammit. Talk about a missed opportunity. Fuck! 1

Doragon Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Vince McMahons net worth has increased nearly 10% since March. Seems NXT uk will carry on and they will just dump some people. Edited June 30, 2020 by D.Z
notoriusvig Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 I asked this over at the WON boards and never got an answer. Has there been any word as to why Shayna and Bianca Belair haven't been on the product in weeks? Does it have to do with some sort of quarantine or are they just not being used for some idiotic reason so that a youngster like Nia Jax can have their spot?
mattdangerously Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Shayna was a Heyman project, and apparently Vince isn't very high on her. And I think we can all guess why Bianca isn't getting used. Edited June 30, 2020 by mattdangerously 2

You do realize Shayna is going to be 40 in just over a month right? I agree she should be used on TV, but I don’t get the narrative of oh she’s only did wrestling for a few years so she’s young. Bianca not being on tv would be mind boggling if anyone other than Vince ran the company. Last nights segment with MVP, Apollo, Lashley, Cedric, and Ricochet seemed to paint a pretty clear, and unflattering picture. 1

DJ Hero Morganti Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I am pretty sure that the Street Profits were also a Heyman project. Then Sarah Logan got canned for reasons which ruined that part of the Viking Profits story.
