Cool. We should be excited that this person with a lovely attitude who is an unsafe worker is coming to NXT.

gently caress Japanese style wrestling, it's just loving awful, dangerous and boring.

PSP says: "That guy is the single best worker ever :eyepop:"

Everyone gives Dana poo poo, but you can tell by now that she has the basics down, and while she still has a long path towards competence, she's making tangible progress.

Eva Marie has yet to get the basics down. She looks like she's still waiting for Brian Kendrick's instructions.

I feel like she's had more matches than she's watched.

I wonder about that with a lot of the non-Indy wrestlers that WWE hires. I feel like a lot of them have a clock in, clock out mentality where they have their matches, go to the shows, and never think about wrestling otherwise. You can kind of see it in their in-ring work - really uninspired and lacking any sort of creative spark that says "I've watched a lot of wrestling and this is how I'm going to bring something new to the table." Pretty much every good wrestler I can think of was a fan of the sport and would watch everything they could get their hands on in their free time. Was there anyone good who didn't have that approach and saw wrestling as a job rather than their passion?

Depending on how you view Brock Lesnar, you could make the argument that he has this mentality. He certainly has the drive to be the best, but that is true of any athletic endeavor for him. I doubt he has an NJPW World subscription to catch up on matches he missed. Angle had also never watched wrestling until he got into it, but he obviously became addicted.

Welcome to discussing anything on the internet. I'm just sad we missed a chance to call out that poster for his problematic views on Japanese people. I'm a bit worried that a fan of Japanese wrestling might have felt a little triggered at the memory of Misawa's death with his casual talk of head drops.

Then read the probation reason, and if you're still unclear, talk about it in QCS, not this thread.

Getting back to NXT, do the Takeovers end up on Hulu at all, or are they only on the Network? Don't really feel like giving them my money anymore and I can watch the specials on Hulu as well as the weekly show, I'm down with that.

I think you're right on about that, it's probably Brock.
