Shame I have a deep seated hatred of moustaches, otherwise I'd be quite into Seven and Bate.
This is going to be the greatest thing I read on this board all day

Honestly it's not a bad idea. I think the vast majority of people round these parts would prefer the old school style interviews(I know I would), but for better or worse it's not what current wwe wants or is going to put on the shows. Just giving them basic acting lessons can't hurt and really could help these 20 minute interview segments(on an unrelated note, why are we still doing those?)not be such dumpster fires half the time

Haven’t they done that in the past? Or is it just some people took acting (and/or improv) classes on their own?
I believe this was on a Talk is Jericho episode, but apparently during his cup of coffee there, Freddie Prinze Jr says he did some acting exercises with the wrestlers, but no one was really into it at first, including John Cena openly shitting on the idea.
And I really hope it's true Prinze actually told Miz at one point something to the effect of "Robert Downey Jr is unquestionably a better actor then me. He also does not give a fuck about you. I do."

I have barely seen any of WALTER(love that Osperay match)but what I have seen I love. WALTER is so great because he just screams legit. This is a guy that doesn't care about entertaining the WWE universe and putting smiles on peoples faces. This big fucker wants to win matches and win championships and he will hurt you if you try to stop him. Same with Dunn. That title is so important to him and he is going to break your fingers if you try to take it away. Take all of my money and GIVE ME MORE

I would have kept them as a team as well. I haven't been crazy about any of their feuds. Seth, Dean, and Roman are far better together than apart. I would have always kept the Shield alliance while having them chase singles titles.
You know the saying the whole is greater then the sum of its parts? This is the Shield. They accentuate the good in each other and they can all cover up their weaknesses. People WANT them to be together and be friends and everytime they are split up and feud it dies a quick death. The crowd doesn't want them apart. You can have them off doing their own things but still be aligned together. It's not rocket science, and it gives you an act you can split in three different directions if need be.
By the way, this all can apply to the New Day too. Push Big E as a singles. Let Kofi and Xavier tag. Don't split them up totally.

Dean vs Seth vs Lashley is going to be DEATH. I love Dean but my god this heel turn has completely wrecked him. That Chronicle special they did on him was such a perfect blend of the real person and the character and gave them so much ground to work with when he turned on Seth. And the brain trust decided that him wearing a gas mask and getting shots because people are diseased(god, it just sounds even dumber when you see it in writing). And Dean has clearly run out of fucks to give. Unmotivated Dean Ambrose is painful.
Almost as painful as Bobby Lashley. How the fresh hell does a legit athletic freak and badass with a great real life story be SO GOD DAMN BORING. His matches involve him pointing at his ass while Lio Rush won't shut up. Why does "The Almighty" have a job again?
We are relying on Seth to carry this thing. God help us all

I have never seen a show before where the writers constantly come up with a plot line that feels like it has be the conclusion of the show, yet it not only extends the plot but gives it new life. Ted Danson is so damn good and his frustration with the committee(hey, paul scheer!) was tremendous

The real fun part is we don't even get to count Ciampa/Gargano in this from the Cruiserweight Classic which is a matchup between NXT regulars that is fucking great.
Also, I honestly feel like I can list like 3 different sub 5 minute Oney Lorcan matches. Oney vs. Drew & Oney vs. Hideo are fucking wars.
God, that Oney vs Hideo match was fucking BRUTAL. I'm still pissed how short that was.
Gargano and Kassius had a really underrated match towards the tail end of 2017(I think?). Kassius realized how much bigger he is then Johnny and just KICKED HIS ASS.

*Ahem*
Dear anyone who doesn't view Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch as one of the very top tier matches in NXT history.
You are fucking wrong.
Signed, El Dragon.
This might be the most underrated match in the entire NXT run. On a sheer emotional level, Bayley vs Sasha in Brooklyn is(to me)the best women's match in NXT, but on a pure wrestling level this is right behind it

A shame Nikki Cross will never be the NXT Women's Champion, she merited that.
It will always be my hill to die on that she should have beaten Asuka in the last woman standing match on that NXT episode. You could still promote Asuka as never submitting or being pinned once she got to the main roster, plus Nikki can be brought up as the only one who has ever beaten Asuka before.

Ah, now here is a lot to chew on. I would argue that the undoing of Dexter started right after the Jon Lithgow season (season 4?). From that point on it was just a precipitous decline. In fact, the season prior to the final season may have been the worst, but the series finale is so insanely bad that it makes the rest of garbage from the final season even worse.
Hindsight being what it is and all, Dexter really should have ended with season 4. Nothing ever came close to topping it. But that's another topic for another thread

So I'm slowly making my way through this show. I haven't watched the WWE for a good while due to not having cable (although I do work Tuesdays all day now so I can watch Smackdown at the bar with the sound off), so I might be late to the party...but Drew McIntyre should be THE GUY. Not only does he look good and bust his ass, but he's just the right size of "bigger dude" in the WWE to make all the contenders believable. I see Finn fight Roman or Braun or Brock and you know the casual and/or cynical "old school" fan won't believe this match at all...but Drew and Finn can go out there and kill it and it makes sense that Balor not only could hang, but steal that win. And the same goes the other way, if Drew is tangling with a Roman or Braun...
100% agree and to me there's no reason Drew should not be the universal champion right now. It fits right in with his whole deal about how the locker room is complacent and no one can give him a challenge. He seems to check all the boxes and HE WOULD BE ON THE SHOW EVERY DAMN WEEK.
Plus, he beat Dolph stupid in that cage match. Anyone who kicks Ziggler's ass Is a ok to me!

The Braun-Brock segment was awkward, Braun was a deer in headlights in some parts like he couldn't think of an insult that wasn't obscene. He should have went for broke and called Lesnar a punk bitch or something or made a steroids jab say or a something about cheating to beat Mark Hunt but no matter how much juice you drink rumble morning you aint beating me. I mean he should have went of script cuz evidently he couldnt remember the script
The exact opposite was the Moment of Bliss segment where all 3 women were I thought spot on. I really got a kick out of Nia sitting in the director's chair and saying "I know im the bitch but i aint a bitch". It was a fun and loose segment with 3 performers who know their characters. I didn't get that from Brock and Braun.
God, anything like that could have salvaged that. You're the god damn monster among men! I don't want to see Braun delivering big eloquent monologues. The greatest thing Braun has ever said on WWE television was "I'm not finished with you." Keep it short, have him just be big and menacing and make me believe for half a second you might actually win this damn thing

Cody is the epitome of what Bruce Prichard has said multiple times on his show. "...but then that damn bell had to ring" You can't deny the guy has charisma. Hell, dude was still in OVW at the time and blew everyone's minds with how good he was inducting Dusty into the hall of fame. Whether or not Being the Elite is your thing, you can't deny the guy stands out on the show(I laughed my ass off when he was possessed or when he told Flip, "I hope you fucking die". He does great character work in all his promos, and really comes off like a hell of a guy anytime I've heard him on a podcast(multiple Talk is Jerichos come to mind).
He really is a B+ player. He can give you a solid *** match, maybe even get into **** with the right guy(or tagging with his brother) but he's nothing spectacular. And there's nothing wrong with that. He's carved out quite the niche for himself and now he's running his own company. The old man would be proud of him

Watching that god awful Brock/Braun segment from RAW just makes me miss Gene that much more. When Braun's brain froze, Gene could have been the one to help guide the ship and try to salvage that dumpster fire. Sometimes you just don't need to leave guys out there to die like that. You need a steady hand to right the ship

Ultimately, I don't want something to destroy or unseat WWE. I just want a viable #2 promotion beyond NJPW that's readily and easily accessible and I want each of these companies to push the other to be better.
A thousand times this. Whether you loved WWF or WCW in the Monday Night Wars, you can't deny there were constant attempts for each company to top the other. I want AEW to make the best show possible, which in turn lights a fire under WWE to make their shows better. I have no use for Cody Rhodes or the Jacksons as wrestlers, but as businessmen trying to make for a more entertaining product on my tv machine, I salute and support them.

Edge losing his shit when he saw the picture of him and Beth was great too. Christian is just a smarmy shitass in the chumpstain challenges and I love it. 5 * to Edge for wearing a Paul Smackage shirt.
