OH SHIT UNCLE HECTOR
Amazing. And the preview featured a shot of the skull-tipped boots so I guess the cousins are on their way in.
Does anyone here know anybody who hasn't seen Breaking Bad but is watching BCS? I'm curious as to what the experience is like without all the backstory and references.
Me! The backstory and references may go over my head but the show is good enough for it not to matter.
That's awesome, thanks. You should watch Breaking Bad, though.

You can write both off as highspot guys if you want. It's just that Brock's highspots are 300 suplexes while Ricochet's are aerial moves. But Ricochet has been integrating more ground-based stuff into his matches...he's been using the 630 less and the fire driver or whatever it's called, and the Benadryller, more. But anyway, for me it comes down to which guy I'd like to watch more and that's Ricochet. It's close, though.

I went with New Day here because they're one of the only entertaining things on Raw while Sasha has gotten a bit lost in the shuffle of the main roster's shitty women's division booking. She was awesome on NXT but she's just another replaceable cog in WWE.

Addition via subtraction: take Miz out of that match FFS

Not that either is a bad thing. Hero is one of my favorite guys to watch now.

What if Kassius Ohno had been the third man in the Shield?
Higher catering bills, 300% more elbows

Nothing American Alpha has done thus far has made me think they are anything but tag team Tyler Breeze; an act tailor made to get over on a specific show in front of a specific crowd. They've done that and should be commended, but when other factors are close to being equal, I think degree of difficulty has to factor in. Being over on the main roster is leaps and bounds more impressive to me than getting Full Sail to like you.
Bravo. Just keep this on the clipboard for every "NXT vs major company star" matchup in this tournament. I really enjoy NXT but we're severely overrating NXT talents based on a small sample and under optimum conditions. It's like watching the Harlem Globetrotters trounce the Washington Generals and thinking they're the best team in basketball because of it.

LOL that is the perfect response

One is a wrestler, one is a character on a TV show. And I like Lucha Underground.

Yay, now we are making this thread horrid too!
Brock, as a character, has become actively harmful to the WWE product. I'm all for monster acts, especially monster acts near the top of the company. But Brock has broken the point for being too powerful. He actively seems legitimately unbeatable, and thus makes every other wrestler in the company looks lesser by comparison.
Right, but Mil Muertes is winning his match this round and he's booked the same way. Shit, he just beat the company's top two babyfaces in one match. That is the very definition of looking unbeatable and diminishing the whole roster.
Aside from a lot of biases and assorted wackiness, there seems to be no voting consistency when it comes to "this guy is really good" vs "this guy is booked in a way that makes him look good." A good deal of this thing is a popularity contest and it's going to be awesome when the final is Bailey vs Asuka.
And that is my problem too. The WWE finds one good thing, then RUNS IT INTO THE GROUND till nobody cares anymore. That's Brock Lesnar matches for me.
I have to admit I'm turning on New Day a bit for the same reason. As soon as I heard "Vince loves New Day," I knew the end was near.
And God forgive me but I side with Gregggg here. I don't think American Alpha has been around long enough or booked in anything meaningful enough to warrant votes yet. Aside from goofball promos and flashy spots, there's not a lot there yet.

Well it's hard to get pants that fit when you're hung like a....well, you get the point

Hero's got a good gimmick where he's a feared striker.
Asuka is a feared striker because she's a god damned cyborg programmed to maul.
Hero had a better resume; voted Asuka because I don't want to die by her hand.
You know wrestling isn't real, right?
-
Back in August, I went to a show at my local leisure centre and sat through a wretched 15 minute Hero/Tommy End match that consisted of two guys with "great striker" gimmicks getting nearly every blow no-sold.
So like this?
Counterpoint
-
I've seen a lot more Hero that I enjoyed in the voting period. Asuka is awesome, don't get me wrong, but it's been mostly NXT squashes with only a few competitive matches thrown in.

A girl i work with is about to watch the "Ozymandias" episode of Breaking Bad over the weekend...... i can't wait to see the results of her soul being crushed on Monday morning.
UPDATE:She has lost faith in everything.
Oh man that episode. I went to work so hung over the next day because "let's watch Breaking Bad and then go to bed" became "I need drinks after that shit."

In a business where I can throw you into the ropes and you can't help but rebound and run into a move, it's funny where each individual draws the "nah, that's too phony" line.

Everyone should go watch those videos on the last page. Owens has so much charisma. His work is amazing, too. In a HDTV era, Owens still does every single thing like he's working to the back row of the arena. If you really like wrestling, that's your vote.
The "Nakamura is SOOO charismatic" talking point is so disingenuous. Dude goes out there and acts like a goof and gets spotted 50 points because Japan. He's the Japanese Kenny Omega but in 2016 there are still smart marks who think claiming something from Japan is better will give them cred.
I can't help but imagine how much everyone in PWG would laugh at you for talking shit about a popular japanese wrestler.
What a weird, creepy point to try to make. I'm not in the "wrestlers are my imaginary friends" mindset and, as such, have never considered what someone like Mike Bailey or Joey Ryan would think about my opinion. Holy shit, I am dumbfounded by whatever it is you're trying to say here. While we're at it, should I consider what, say, Jonathan Banks would think before I watch Better Call Saul? Wow. Just......wow.
Also, I'm not talking shit. I genuinely don't find Nakamura's schtick entertaining. If my comments about a certain strain of puroresu fan hit close to home, I'm sorry.

I wasn't replying to Jrag, just making a general statement. We're definitely all idiots!

The WWE did a snapchat that announced there was going to be WWE themed Pez dispensers. The three they showed were Cena, Taker and Rock

Per the WON update today
There will be a Warrior Award winner this year, but like last year, it'll be nothing remotely close to what Warrior suggested with his idea of inducting a hard working employee into the Hall of Fame.

I got into a fight with a kid when I was maybe 12 and tried to DDT him on the sidewalk. It didn't really work and became a half-ass front facelock takedown. So I just kept him in the facelock and punched him in the side a bunch of times. So yeah, the DDT doesn't work if the other guy isn't cooperating.
