w. josh Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 In general, I would like more wrestlers with full names and nicknames in WWE. The Hulk Hogan area was filled with that, but ever since they've been shortening names or exclusively referring to wrestlers by a nickname. Give me a guy with a normal sounding name and a nickname that gives him a gimmick (or is just weird as hell, like Dogfaced Gremlin). Makes them feel more like fighters/pro athletes as opposed to Disney characters. That said, we all know Lee is going to lose his name and just be The Bearcat in a couple of weeks. If he's lucky they don't put him in a furry singlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Months and months of consistent bangers with everyone. True i just never bought him as a main eventer and i think that's why many including myself don't think about him. Plus, years and years of bad WWE TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 For all the people who are burnt on WWE TV/PPV i am there with you but i suggest looking up the good stuff when it happens. that keeps me from watching too much garbage but still enjoying the performers i like. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Didn't watch, but if they had given Reggie vs. Ricochet like 10 minutes I absolutely would have checked that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick and mix is the best way to go about watching WWE. That's what I do. Can't remember the last time I watched a full RAW/Smackdown/NXT TV show from beginning to end.

AxB Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 WWE Fans: Too many rematches! It's just the same matchups, over and over again, every week! WWE: Right, we need to change it up. How about we have the main be a rematch from earlier the SAME evening (that also main evented last weeks show)? It's a new and innovative idea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the first half-hour running errands. I'm guessing they were in Omaha last night. The significance is probably wasted on the average WWE universo. It was Cincinnati - their university's teams are called the Bearcats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone of actual news-reporting substance(Or Lee himself) confirm that this is the reason the nickname was chosen? I'm just curious. I actually don't mind the nickname at all. But I also just saw the "Bray-took-time-off-for-mental-health-reasons" trope that the Internet decided to run with for awhile get debunked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've never seen a 180 minute match yet. I mean, logically a 5 on 5 elimination tag should go about that long, if a singles match can be 40 odd minutes, but that's not the way things work.

RunningFromAmerica Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Sheamus has always been good at the clubbering, but he dropped 40lbs and that's been a big difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I mean, AEW booked their women awfully for most of the company's existence (although some signs that it is slowly improving in recent months) and doesn't exactly have a lot or any black wrestlers in that prominent of position (quick: Who is the top black face in the company?) so neither of those things being true would be all that shocking.
