Which would totally suck because I can listen to hisJim Cornette and Jerry Jarrett impressions all day. His Dusty is great too. His Terry Funk is good. What's funny though is that his Hulk Hogan sucks. 1

Honestly, who saw opening match jobber CJ Parker going on to have the success he's had since leaving WWE? To CJ's credit, he was always shouted out by other WWE wrestlers in interviews about who was underrated and really good. I admit that I never really saw it outside of some fun character stuff in NXT, but I'm always drawn to character stuff more.

Brian Fowler Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 It's already been touched on, but CJ/Juice left WWEa week before he turned 27. Cody left about a month before he turned 31. Tye just turned 38 a few days ago. Even if you think he's as good as they both were at the time of leaving, there's a lot less potential upside in signing him.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 At least Prichard is a wrestling mind. I doubt he will change much but it's better than another Hollywood creator. 1
BurningBeard Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 ‘Turn Roman heel’ is the ‘turn Cena heel’ of the 20teens. Bore off the lot of ya! 1

Well, they aren't turning Roman now. If Cena was actually around for a decent stretch, they probably could finally do it now. As a part timer he's not nearly as important, his drawing power seems diminished, and "Hollywood Cena" is right there. 1
Nice Guy Eddie Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Brian Fowler said: He's the one who should've turned heel in the first place. When Seth did. And then just been the cool bad ass sellout. When he eventually turned on Triple H, the pop would've ripped the roof off. Exactly. Roman eventually turning on HHH would have rivaled this. JR is tolerable here and you just kind of have to tune out Lawler.

John from Cincinnati Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 They were used sparringly in NXT anyway and were firmly in the lower midcard. What about them?
AxB Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Hang on, I thought Prichard's podcast was called "'Something to Wrestle' with Bruce Prichard". But apparently it's actually called "'Something to Wrestle with' with Bruce Prichard". That's a bit silly.

Rehabilitated Rick Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Wasn't there a report that Lacey was in line to be one of Vince's top female stars post-Mania? Heavy Machinery are prominent in the tag division. Nikki Cross has featured strongly on Smackdown. and EC3 is garbage. They're exactly where they should be right now.
DreamBroken Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 They dedicated a bunch of time to those vignettes that aired on every Raw multiple times and every SDL for a month straight, to just do nothing significant with any of them. (Especially EC3, who I thought did come off like a star in his). Only to immediately after throw four new callups out with zero build and have them go over everyone they face. 1

This was the blurb from the Observer Quote Right now, Lacey Evans is scheduled for a super push. Evidently her disappearance from television in recent weeks is the plan to start her off in a major way. At one point the plan was for Asuka vs. Evans for the Smackdown women’s title at WrestleMania. We were told that was being reconsidered and is no longer definite, but not ruled out. The impression we got was probably at this point a no, but no other match has been decided in that spot. Then on the radio show, Dave followed it up by saying that at one point, the plan was - after Rousey leaves (which they still don't have an exact date for) there are going to build around 3 women: Becky, Charlotte and Lacey 1
The Natural Posted February 24, 2019 Author Posted February 24, 2019 Already looking forward to Gargano vs. Cesaro. 2

All of all the call-ups featured in those vignettes Lars was framed as the star and would have been pushed in that regard. If the rumors are to be believed culminating in a match with Cena at wrestlemania. The rest were supporting players. I can understand why Vince would ask for a fresh batch.
Niners Fan in CT Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Vince isn't much for giving someone a fair shake. None of them immediately set the world on fire so he got on the phone and said give me the real stars, pal. But don't worry they will get lost in the shuffle too. 1
