I didn't realize Christian's last name was Cage. I read it as, "Kenny Omega vs Christian, Cage" like cage was the type of match. You are the reason WWE wrestlers can't have surnames, dammit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a lot of dudes - and it could be the usual sucking up to the boss - talked about wanting a match against Hunter at Mania. There was an interview that came out a couple of days ago where Damien Priest said he is bringing it up to HHH all the time (and I would say he was only half joking) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It is funny how people are using the "Well it worked for Roddy Piper". Piper was originally made a manager because he was a great talker. Adam Cole was going to made a manager because he is short Also they wanted to use Cole for Keith Lee who doesn't need anyone to talk for him and even if it was a heel turn has been 50/50 to death that it would take a long time to get on next level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eoae Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That doesn't sound like a terrible idea for Cole, though I'd stop short of calling it good. And i don't think it would work. Having Lee turn heel and become a generic big scary black guy is a waste of Lee, though it might be better for him than his current gimmick as the invisible man. I want to say that most of the audience could distinguish between long-haired wrestler Adam Cole and middle-aged announcer Michael Cole, but I'd probably just be setting myself up for disappointment.

Craig H Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That idea for Adam Cole is about the dumbest fucking thing and the most predictable thing you could see WWE doing. If even 10% of that was true, Adam Cole made the right move by leaving for AEW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I was trying to not clog up the thread with PWI 500 talk because I am too lazy to make its own thread but Meltzer saying there are some wrestlers who take the 500 way too seriously and then two minutes later losing his mind because Tanahashi was behind Braun Strowman is the reason I can never stop listening to the radio show. 1 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 A deal where he’ll be in the WWE literally as soon as his college wrestling season is over. If NILs existed in the 80s, Bill Watts would have had Dr. Death on one several years before he graduated. I checked the timeline and Dr. Death worked some Mid South after his OU wrestling career ended but then he played OU football that fall (or as Bill Watts would likely explain it: being a pro wrestler doesn’t impact your eligibility as a college football player) If there’s anybody facing Steveson in college over the next year who has the charisma to go into the WWE, at least there’s a natural reason for that person to show up and feud with Steveson. That being said, don’t pick up your phone Chad Gable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 So they wanted to change the name of a guy who's been around so long that they didn't even change his name when he came into the company... because of an announcer. And work a gimmick that was dumped the first time around (because Lio was pissing people off, but still, they never replaced him). Got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I got bored while eating lunch and I checked WWE's website Not counting the Usos... There are 2 Drews but Drew Gulak appears to be no longer used on TV (His last TV match was July 26) There are 3 John/Johnnys but Cena is gone again and Gargano is on NXT There are 3 Joes (Samoa, Gacy, Coffey) but they are all on different brands. (And this isn't including Joseph Conners who was last on TV July 22) There are 2 Marks (har har har) - Andrews and Coffey - which appears to be the only example of 2 guys on the same brand with the same name but it is also NXT UK so no one cares and Coffey hasn't been on TV since mid-July. There are 2 Roberts but again not on same brand and one is a manager. There are 3 Sam/Samis - Zayn and then Stoker and Gradwell in NXT UK so see my point above (plus Gradwell hasn't been on TV since mid-June) There are 2 Xias (of all the names to repeat) on different brands and the only females to duplicate a name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
