Spontaneous Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I mean, at least Lashley is a good wrestler. ED-209 should be labeled Jaxson Ryker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Looks like Wyatt was playing The Ghost of Tsushima online mode. If the mustache on the mask is any indication he’ll probably be a shogun of some sort. When I first saw it I was immediately thinking of Steve Williams briefly with the oni gimmick. I honestly don’t know how I’ll feel about it. But at least on paper I prefer it to the Joker thing he was doing. At this point any gimmick that is taking from the Joker is completely played out. But the track record with white guy playing Asian stereotype isn’t usually a success. Though I liked Yoshi Kwan. So sue me.

Unless he plans on doing a Robert Rodriguez Lucha Underground type project, I can see his promotion basically being Global Force Wrestling redux. But with 500% more skulls and iron crosses. Just skulls and iron crosses as far as the eye can see. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The Joker played out? Uh... Think again. I really hope he doesn't appropriate Japanese culture much. That was immediately the vibe I got from that image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Calling it now. Flair signs with AEW, somehow gets ahold of da book, and proves he learned well from Dusty by booking himself to win the title from Omega while Hangman Page feuds with... um, Colt Cabana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 He cant' retire. He has to defend his CarShield.Com belt at least one a month or he loses his insurance. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custos Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Whatever griding means...anyway, get in line Jonah mate, the Redeemer has plenty of other men to crush. Although Fuego's 0-14 in 2021 singles, so he probably has more a claim than the current challenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Another possible purge of talent probably post Summerslam. However WWE still needs enough roster members to fill up the Raw, SD, NXT, NXT UK brands. So the purging will stop at some number. 205 is basically NXT branded guys with 3 regular 205 only roster members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 How much longer until 205 just stops getting mentioned? I'm shocked they haven't decided to scrap it and the cruiserweight title. It doesn't seem to serve a purpose anymore if they don't want to hire smaller wrestlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) The next roster draft could probably move all remaining 205 guys to NXT, and 205 becomes NXT show for whatever's left of the NXT small guys. Too early to speculate if they will replace 205 next year, but the cruiser title will probably be sticking around.

Spontaneous Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Was the highest profile match for the cruiserweight title the Alexander-Murphy match from the Australia super show? Without checking I think any major show like Wrestlemania relegated it to the pre show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFistsJustFlips Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 They taped a Joe Gacy vs Josh Briggs match for this week's 205 Live. Those two hosses sure don't scream cruiserweight to me lol. I think it's pretty obvious they will transition 205 Live into just another enhancement show like Main Event. There's really no benefit to keeping it cruiserweight branded. The Cruiserweight Classic was awesome. But with anything that gets over, it got tinkered with until it was watered down and not the original idea anymore. WWE is best at being WWE. Not much else survives there. Alternative brands (ECW, WWECW, NXT, 205 Live) that don't fit Vince's vision are destined to fizzle out. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he doesn't then his entire career arc from 1995 onwards will have been pointless. Woo. If you're in the house when he Flairs his last Flop (heart attack after top turnbuckle reversal bump is also acceptable), you better POP for it, brother. Again, woo. Edited August 12, 2021 by John E.
