I spent about a year locked up and my dad sent me the Observer every week so I could keep up. I came out wanting to watch everything. (The last Observer I got before release was the one where Dave reviewed Omega/Okada at the Tokyo Dome so I spent a week thinking about watching it as soon as I got out.) I can imagine that the current product would just increase the terrible mood that place can put you in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked that song , that whole Album was dope, I thought it was the best CD WWF/E did especially being a huge rap fan. I think Godfather said T was a prick, although I though Godfather introduced him to Coco? I could be wrong. Godfather said he actually wanted bring in Xzibit since they were friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Booker T is embarrassing himself holding that company line. Naomi has been underutilized for years. She's gotten better and better in-ring and kids love her, she has a great look and costumes and is very charismatic. She doesn't need to "slow down" for Lacey Evans either. It's on Lacey to step her game up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on Lacey to step her game up. Especially when you have women pushed ahead of her that's very clumsy and unsafe out there. Her Royal Rumble entry got one of biggest reactions and it was trending afterwards on it's own. I know Keke Palmer isnt a big enough star on WWEs radar but even she joined in. She's kind of like Kofi was, booked a certain way where people forget he can actually go in the ring. Or more like koko B Ware, super solid and athletic but always booked in that fun fan friendly mid card role where fans wasn't allowed to take him seriously. All the while in Memphis and MidSouth pre WWF he was one of the best in the world even apart of one of Cornettes favorite teams with Bobby Eaton but it isn't widely known. Booker with his input is only garner more sympathy for her. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is Naomi has shown an ability to get over several times and put on good performances when given a shot. Basically what he claims she needs to do she already has, and it has not led to any sort sustained push for her. We are just at point in WWE where that isn't enough anymore due to the very little sticking in the head of the crazy old man running it. At this point everyone who isn't already in a top spot has a dice roll decide whether or not they succeed. Edited July 23, 2020 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point everyone who isn't already in a top spot has a dice roll decide whether or not they succeed. Right before the Pandemic, Noami was one of the only people you can point to that got really good reactions from the crowd. I like Bayley but it wasn't till after the Rumble they started teasing her vs Naomi at Mania it wasn't really till then Bayley started picking up steam at a heel champ. I wouldn't be surprised if she gets shoehorned into a feud with Bayley or Sasha soon, I just hope it makes sense. I'd even like her to mix it up with Asuka but knowing them they'll probably have Naomi take Kairi Sane's spot and team them which should be good. Vince likes Lacey and that character but I think he needs to cool her down right now. She's been put in a good position since she got to the main roster. Its not they like time right now for her to carry on that gimmick, especially if she wants to keep it up outside the ring. I'm all for the old school keeping kayfabe thing but with that gimmick right now its going to carry the wrong type of heat for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Naomi is partially why I’m back into wrestling. I had a break from wrestling for a bit while I was figuring my life out. Once I got things back on the right track and started seeing the wonderful woman I am now married to, she started binge watching Total Divas. I watched a few episodes and came away with her being my favorite. I’d look up results now and again, but all that Total Diva watching made me really want to dive into the product again and pick up where I left off. I’ve mentioned this on the site a few times last year, but her and Jimmy’s wedding made me cry. When Rikishi didn’t show up and Naomi was sad I got teary. Then Jey’s beautiful soliloquy about family and how much love he has for his brother and his new sister. I’m crying now. Whew. I love them. But yeah, Naomi’s cool. 3 hours ago, Eivion said: Honestly, I was disappointed when they broke up Asuka & Naomi as a team so quickly. I thought they had decent potential.

Curt McGirt Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I would like it if he came out and jumped Cody after he (obviously) beats Warhorse then announces it himself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 So long as Kingston gets signed, I'm fine with it. I think if people were concerned about how Kingston comes off to casuals, they should be more worried when Warhorse does his bullshit Warrior cosplay. I thought I was down on him but then I heard my friends, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) We're all overlooking the fact that Warhorse's entrance theme--which I'm certain AEW will pay to use--is Metallica's The Four Horsemen, so this is, umm, clearly another step on Cody's road to heeldom.

Death From Above Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I thought that one last man standing Warhorse match that got posted on here recently was fine, so I don't really get the hate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
