  1. Unfortunately that's a large part of Wrestling Twitter. Playing opposition to a Promotion , a journalist or a wrestler and they have to stick to the gimmick.
  2. I'm catching up with the last few weeks of NXT and I like how they still.arent using the same guys every week. With 2 hours now they've placed the UK and Cruiserweight guys well into the show. I hope they dont panic and start bringing in top talents for the other brands because once they do they might get carried away and rely on those guys too often. I also think they should stay at Fullsail atleast for a more Takeover cycles.
  3. Wasn't Austin and Taker booked to show up. Maybe people were expecting to see them too. I'd like to know what they would've drew without the legends promoted. I'm sure they'll use Austin and Taker at some point though.
  4. It came across as forced and desperate the way he was pushed before now they are consciously keeping him out of the title picture. It occurred to me last night that a year ago I wouldve imagined Bryan as a heel, and just when I thought I get to see a Bryan vs Roman feud , they switch gears and turn him Babyface again. Now Bryan is the cheesy Babyface that Roman was earlier on. At least Roman comes across as more of a badass Face this time around.
  5. My thought was that he'll be moved to RAW soon. I dont think they want to be heavy with the Mcmahons every week on FOX. I was expecting Brock to give Kofi the same amount of offense he gave Finn in less time. The entire segment didn't make it much of a problem to me. Either way Kofi is a bigger star than before he got slotted into title picture. I see New Day going to RAW, I think Heyman will use them well.
  6. I want to see her slotted back in once the Draft happens, I love each of the 4 Horsewoman but I wish it wasn't and onscreen thing. They make call backs to the curtain call and other women sorta get boxed out. I like Sasha and Naomi's onscreen chemistry I'd like to see the intertwined again.
  7. Yes, I've seen alot more of his matches over this Summer, I haven't seen much of his work before the G1 but I agree. The reaction wasn't good around hear when he won the title. He was seemingly in Omega spot, people was going to shit on him anyway but he's ready for that spot now. He Reminds me of Roman, once he got in the main event spot he felt like he belonged even though the booking of him was not good at all.
  8. That's my only problem with the booking of him so far, I think it's too soon to put him in a title match. Do you want to put the belt on him and ever one chase him for it. Or does he not win an you sorta hurt him by him getting screwed in some way. They've hurt a lot of guys by giving them a shot too early and not going with them. Look at Braun, he should've been Champ two years ago.
  9. I love that Bayley is a completely different heel than Sasha is even though they are aligned. Bayley is good at it too, it might take away from some of her matches though as far as her short cutting.
  10. All the Wyatt Family is better workers than Bray including Stroman. As far as bell to bell
  11. If AJ vs Cedric was 5 10 more minutes its would have stole the show for me. I hope they get to work a PPV match soon. Becky vs Sasha seemed off to me until after that ref bump. The brawling was good but the match itself was off. The booking of it made sense. The Rivival vs New day was good. I hope this means SD has a strong tag division again. The main even was good too, I wasn't necessarily hyped for it but the Fiend is awesome. I love the Mandible claw, he doesn't have to be great in the ring. I'm not as critical of his in ring work as alot of people but I think with him being in better shape, it could help in improve in the ring.
  12. True, It Amazing that alot of these guy show their great personalities or Social media and podcasts you wouldn't know it from the why their booked. Alot of these guys do need stuff written word for word. But yeah. Corbin is very self aware, he knows the heat he has with the audience and he plays the Anti Indy guy role well.
  13. She's trying to protect her knees, I might as well landed on her feet like her Man Andrade
  14. Before Smackdown got on SyFy and USA, they seemed to be more insistent on Smackdown having a top Latino star more so than Raw. That's why Eddie and Rey are viewed as Smackdown guys primarily, I wonder if that is going to be the case with Fox sports. Andrade has the presence of a top guy and he has Zelina as his mouthpiece, He is one of the best inring. They'll probably move Rey back on SDLive but the probably won't feature him.
  15. Yes, I'm not watching every single show but most of those guys seem like they can be something. The American guys have that WWE build and presence and they can work. They are far ahead then they'd be if they were in the PC. That's a good thing especially if you want to do business in the states.
  16. I'd switch New Day to Raw and start to build Big E as the guy on Raw. I'd have Balor return as a heel in the OC. They can feud with New Day. Put Boss n Hug on SDLive together, move Charlotte, Andrade and Zelina to Raw. Black would obviously have to move too. I'd keep Alexa, bring Ember and the Kabuki Warriors over. I'd bring Rey back to SD and bring Bryan in another top heel on RAW
  17. People were expecting him to turn on him at the PPV, I didn't think they would do it before they start on TNT. I'm glad AEW became a thing before WWE tries to get him because he is so good personality wise he's the last person that needs verbiage written for him. I don't care how long this draws out MJF is going to outshine everyone on TV without a net.
  18. Now that Flair is beefing with WWE can AEW bring him on the TNT comparing the AEW and the Universal title is like comparing Icecream to Horse Manure
  19. I see Her being the Charlotte Flair of AEW before even signing with WWE. I don't see Charlotte leaving WWE anytime soon
  20. With the Main NXT Roster going to USA on a 2 hour time slot. The are more likely than NXTUK to get guys from the main roster that aren't get used that dont fit. Most of the UK talent on the main roster are well known for their work rate especially the 205 guys. I'm sure Cesaro does have a name and value it adds to TakeOver like Finn did. I hope they start doing more Takeovers because I rarely watch any weekly TV, even when I hear about recommended matches. I never miss a TakeOver or a PPV. I'm too lazy to take out the time to catch up with anything. Even with the Main roster TV no matter how back the booking is on WWE TV, the PPVs are almost always good inring wise. If NXTUK had more Takeovers than I get more of a chance to see those guys outside of just the guys that are on The main NXT TakerOvers or maybe the occasional 205Live episode I might catch
  21. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the cash in especially watching it as it happened but, I'm saying it did Roman Reigns no favors. If it was done as a Russo swerve then its makes less sense if you have intentions of Roman being your Ace
  22. That match is probably the one of the greatest main events in WM history. He came off as more of a bad ass than the booking of him was allowed to be at that point. He brought it to Brock. He should've went over because he wouldve won most of the crowd over anyway. It hurt him chasing the title for so long and forcing him to be the underdog. He would have been better off as a heel coming out of the Shield split maybe feuding with Cena then they turn on him.The biggest issue with Roman was everything seemed so obvious and forced that he was the next top guy. As a booker it shouldn't come across as such.
  23. I don't get why this doesn't get more praise , Especially since Arn was with WWE for so long. Last time I saw this match I thought it was way better than people give it credit for. The Foundation vs Demolition gets more praise.
  24. During the beginning of the WWF expansion, Vince was really nice to Fritz's territory , featuring the Von Erichs in his magazines. He wanted the Von Erichs in the beginning but I can't see him using anyone but Kerry in those early years. I'm sure he knew that If he was to get the Von Erich boys he would've had to push Mike and Kevin too, probably as a tag team. I see Kerry either taking Hogans spot or atleast headlining the B shows. They probably would've been a little better behavior wise in WWF at that point rather than later on when Kerry finally did signed which is saying something because the New York Locker room was crazy. The Dallas territory could have been what Stu and Calgary became to Vince I believe.
  25. As a kid watching WCW Saturday night 22 years It hard to believe that Regal and Finlay are the 2 most influential guys on the inring product of the World Wrestling Federation. I saw a clip on Twitter of Jaqueline vs Molly before she signed with WCW and they were putting on a clinic on a C WWF show. Jaqueline was used as basically the black Sherrie Martel in WCW and early in her WWF run. She came in to put over Sable. It wasn't until the Invasion angle finished that the Women started having competitive matches even if they were under 5 minutes. I wonder if Finlay wasn't brought in would they have ever gotten out beyond the Bra and Panties matches. He was a big proponent of them working competitive matches, especially ones without much inring experience. I know Trish was insistent on learning to work but Finlay kept the trend going. He started out mainly being an Agent of the Divas then later on he helped Batista become an excellent worker and countless others. Of course Regal was the guy the pushed for indie darlings getting deals after HHH and his contemporaries fround on those guys for years. He got Kashin working for them now its Bizarro world in hindsight
