Goodear Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Honestly, I think the two variations of the G2S are different enough with Kenta throwing a kick and Punk throwing a knee that it won't be a problem other than Kenta having to actually pick WWE guys up for the thing. The loss of the knee plus is probably going to be harder on him since he could hit that thing on anybody but there is no way they are going to let him take that back.

Eivion Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I've been reading Wreddit and the nouveau smarks on there have been bashing Kevin Dunn. Honestly, I've heard rumblings (Cornette in particular) about the guy being creative cancer, but does anyone on here actually know what disasters he's responsible for?The diva search was his baby. I remember it being his idea to do them as pre tapes when paying customers were shitting on the segments live. So he's an extremely horny guy...got it. Cornette shits on this guy like he's Russo. I've heard his name with regards to SNME and production since the 80s, but that's the extent of it. Thanks. google Alex Greenfield and Kevin Dunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimoDANK Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 He's an easy scapegoat for every "Sports Entertainment" element of WWE. Agree for the most part. I'm not really a fan of his thoughts on wrestling but let's not pretend it was anybody but Vince that decided what direction the company was going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 KENTA coming to NXT is going to be one of the more interesting stories of the next few months. I actually like that theory floated a few pages back about KENTA and Devitt being there to help network subs in Japan when it becomes available over there. Just not sure how much those guys would really move the needle there. Then you have the moveset. I highly doubt they let him keep his lifted shit. They should but they won't. Then how much of a factor will his English be? Is he studying his balls off in preparation for this? Will they pair him with somebody? He'd make a killer Paul Heyman guy.

Cristobal Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 You guys are overthinking this KENTA finisher thing. Give him the Shining Wizard and the Cattle Mutilation and everything's square. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm sure a big part of KENTA starting off in NXT is getting used to WWE rings, with the looser ropes and whatnot. And back to Cornette's racket - not sure if he did something special to them, but he used to get a helluva noise out of one of those things when he'd whack somebody with it - had to be part of the appeal.

SirSmUgly Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Yoshii Tatsu was over on ECW and then they forgot about him. Yoshi Tatsu was over. I think he has great facial and physical charisma. He is easy to root for and his facial expressions sort of make you feel his pain when he's getting beaten up. WWE dropped the ball with him. He could be in Kofi's spot as younger fan-pleasing face that wins some and loses a lot. EDIT: Actually, Kofi/Yoshi as a tag team where Yoshi plays FIP and Kofi is the hot-tag that does his high spots going into the finish sounds like the perfect face tag team to beat lower-card heel pairings on Main Event and Superstars and that loses to heel tag teams that are getting pushes toward title shots. You do know that Yoshi will be 37 in 3 weeks. 37, not 47. Though if you think his age is a problem, that just makes me take the stance that WWE missed the ball and should have done this four or five years ago when Tatsu was younger. Anyway, Paul Heyman playing the Gary Hart to KENTA's Great Muta sounds pretty fun, to the person who mentioned that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 umm John Cena is 37 with a million injuries and that doesn't seem to be an issue going forward.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Its been established that Cena isnt human tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Also, there is a big difference in investing the TV time, money and effort to get a 37 year old over for a major audience, and having a guy in Cena who has been the most over person on TV for the past decade.

I thought that the announcers referred to it on at least one occasion as a "loaded" tennis racket. Again, never specified what it would have been loaded with, exactly, but I'm pretty sure I heard someone say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I can't embed this, but it is amazing. Here you go: That is really Steen, isn't it (I haven't seen him for him for years). I didn't recognize him at first. If the WWE really signed him, I'm.... amazed. Somewhere, Chris Hero is looking at skinnyfat pics of himself and weeping (I assume there were more issues with Hero besides his gut). This comment about the photo made me laugh: Cy-kun @Captain_Cy_kun 19m@MATTHARDYBRAND @TiffyLockhart @FightSteenFight Matt's just glad to finally be standing next to someone who makes him look thin. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Matt Hardy actually looks to be in pretty good shape there. Now I just saw a recent picture of Hero and it appears that he's drowning his Indy sorrows in pints of Ben & Jerry's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
