Maybe The Hand is going to be the name of that Chinese heel group in NXT, with Xia Li and those lads. That’d be messed up given The Hand is a Marvel heel faction with origins in Japan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be very WWE for them to look at all that Marvel films/tv have accomplished and decide to rip off Iron Fist. (I do realize that the Hand was also prominent on the Daredevil series, which was awesome, but I’m making a joke here.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Am I the only person who sees “Vince” and The Hand” in the same sentence and thinks (fears) it will be a masturbation gimmick? I mean, I’m hoping it’s just a ripoff of the Daredevil ninjas, but I won’t be too surprised if it’s a giant hillbilly with one normal hand and one oversized, freakishly strong hand that the dude built up by....um.... “reading” too much.

L_W_P Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 The correct answer to all this 'past their prime' talk is Finlay. A whole generation of Smackdown was raised up by going toe to toe with that old bastard every week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_W_P Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Does anyone know why Vince is so against 'Southern' wrestling? It seems weird when you consider that, arguably, his 3 most loyal stars were all Texans (Austin, Taker and Michaels) who came from those southern territories.

With Taker, he gave him a gimmick that will allow him to mask his thick accent. It would have been hilarious if Taker had to do all those promos with his real speaking voice.

I assume Shou is the old guy playing second in command or the mysterious woman who leads them. That mysterious woman is going to be Karen Q.

Didn't he grow up in the south and not meet Vince sr until he was a teenager? Maybe that's where the animosity stems from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
