AxB Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Noam Dar vs Alexander Wolfe on NXT-UK was a very good match. But nobody watches NXT-UK, so I'll mention it here so you'll all at least be aware of a good match you'll never intentionally watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least want to catch Walter/Mastiff & Toni/KLR from before COVID before I start the recent episodes. Dar has been great on NXT UK. He has improved so damn much all around since the CWC. Wolfe also shows a lot more more than he did in NXT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 As far as WWE taking over everyone's Twitch goes, I was watching the latest Critical Botch (Brandon Cutler DMing a game of Dungeons & Dragons, with Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, Trent?, Leva Bates and Peter Avalon) and Cutler mentioned that Austin Creed had raided their stream (meaning Creed's viewers were watching Cutler's stream). If that happened again in 4 weeks time, when WWE owned Creed's twitch channel, what would the consequences of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they started bringing in this local crew, he worked double duty a few times without the mask. He’s not a very young man judging by his looks. I’m happy for these guys. Some diamonds in the rough, as well as a restructuring Dark into a proper B-Show. Edited October 3, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coletti Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 WWE doing everything they can to fuck over talent, change/eliminate stuff people like, and double down on "brand over everything else" at a time both when fans are growing restless with their stale output AND a rising, legitimate competitor is gaining traction? Is there anything MORE simultaneously predictable and surprising? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus him getting a major injury in the previously mentioned Hoodmark match might have added to him retiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Rodz Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 So, what are the odds going to be that Jey Uso gets murdered by Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell? I hope this makes the Usos align with Reigns as heels in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It really tells you how bankrupt the WWE is on ideas that Roman Reigns vs Jey Uso is happening again on the next PPV. There was absolutely nothing at the Clash that made you think that Jey deserves a rematch. Not only was he physically destroyed but mentally as well. I guess Jimmy is still out because Reigns vs Jimmy Uso makes sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jey getting another match isn't about deserving one. Its about Roman's ego. And Jimmy definitely isn't ready. He was limping to the ring at Clash. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but I was browsing around Amazon Prime video and noticed that they’ve added a documentary about Sweet Daddy Siki. Haven’t watched it yet, but I thought it might be of interest to some folks around these parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I wonder if they have long-term plans for Jey as a singles wrestler. Jey getting destroyed again at Hell in a Cell (or making a better showing but still losing, though that seems a little implausible given how thoroughly dominated him), then building himself up and being a surprise Rumble winner wouldn't be a bad storyline. I kinda doubt they're penciling in Jey-Roman for WM, but who knows? I don't think Roman-Rock is happening next year. Of course, it could also be that the company is really as short on ideas as we think they are and Vince decided Jey-Roman II was easier than trying to come up with a new idea.

I'm not sure there are serious plans for Jey as a singles wrestler. While this story has been a big boon for him the Usos have always maintained on being focused on being a great tag team. Unless something has changed I assume that is still their goal once Jimmy is healthy. This story has been very much about Roman and the change he has had as a character. As for what they could have done aside from Jey/Roman II. They could have done Roman/Otis, Roman/E, Roman/Jeff. All of those feel like matches that should probably happen on a non-HITC ppv with a little more build as well. We also have no idea how the draft may change things up.
