RIPPA Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Couple of quick WWE notes from the new WON - The original plan for MSK's Shaman was Jeff Hardy and they actually filmed the video packages - The WWE has given up on fighting for "The Man" trademark and that is why Becky Lynch is now going by "Big Time" Becks - Day 1 is planned to be the start of a "new tradition" for the WWE. However, the show won't always be on 1/1 as if Jan 1 is a Friday or Monday - they won't bump SDL/RAW - WWE has banned the term PPV and is now using "premium live events" which you have probably heard if you still watch WWE programming - Dave believes that the 2/18 SDL will be taped on 2/11 because otherwise Smackdown folks will immediately have to fly to Saudi Arabia for that show. The WWE hasn't confirmed that yet but they also never announced a location for 2/18 - WALTER has officially moved to the US and will be full time (for now) with NXT 2.0 - Dave corrected himself (but didn't acknowledge he was correcting himself) in that Kairi Sane's contract doesn't expire until next month (he had reported at the beginning of December that it had expired). Either way - she is not renewing her deal despite the WWE wanting her back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter and Thatcher vs FTR would be amazing. Edited January 7 by Technico Support 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Walter gets to the main roster it will not take very long to go through the phases of a singlet -> dancing -> fired (probably mid program with someone) and then he'll be free to do all that. Until then, he can still do pretty cool stuff on NXT. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't forget, as already discussed, it's lederhosen, not singlet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) He has chocolate stains all over his mouth, and has an overprotective mother as his manager who uses chocolate as a carrot on a stick to get him to viciously attack his opponent. then when it’s over we watch close-ups of him eating the chocolate, while commentary is dry heaving when describing the chewing.

Tarheel Moneghetti Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Can't say there are many matchups for Walter in NXT 2.0 that I want to see. I wish Joe was healthier. I wasn't much interested in Joe-Kross, but I'd be all in for Joe-Bron. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't much interested in Joe-Kross, but I'd be all in for Joe-Bron. In an ideal world, WALTER gets the big main roster push vs. Brock Lesnar, Bobby Lashley and Roman Reigns. I got to see one of my dream matches in WALTER vs. Cesaro. WALTER vs. Daniel Bryan was another dream match when Bryan was in WWE but I wouldn't give that up for Bryan Danielson's epic run in AEW.

Cobra Commander Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Walter vs Bron would be a good matchup for finding out how much Bron wants an Austrian dude to work stiff with him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit last thing I heard in regards to Bob was he sold/gave most (if not all) of his tape collection to Roy Lucier who was converting and posting the matches online* * - it might have been just the Lucha. I remember Roy mention it on Twitter but who knows exactly how long ago that was 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatTCGuy Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I'm not sure what the point of sticking WALTER in NXT is now that he's moved to the states. There aren't really any interesting opponents for him there and he doesn't fit with the show's overall direction at all. Just put him on the main roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 if they're gonna do anything with Walter (giant if) then he's on NXT as sort of a pit stop and then he gets some shine in the Rumble and that builds to him doing something outside of the NXT Umbrella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) No. Signing Walter only made sense to bolster NXT UK and continue strangling the life out of the UK/Europe independent scene. Like Tim Thatcher, he has nothing that WWE is actually interested in promoting. He’ll be out of the company by 2023. Save this post.
