Should have just had Snoop then the recording.

Sasha doesn't sign her theme. That was a rumour started by Bayley and Carmella on Snapchat a few years ago.

Bray's WM30 entrance was the only good live band performance, and it was on the same show as Orton's terrible live band performance.

Living Colour did an awesome job at Wrestlemania 29, but they're also Living Colour so it's easier for them to not suck.

Live bands suck because WWE has no clue how to properly mic the stage and make the music sound halfway decent. It always sounds like it's being recorded in a tin can.

it's the perfect time to start using interim championships. asuka can beat up whoever or finally lose when she returns. and they can then apply them on the main roster to keep guys like brock the forever champ while still having the belt around elsewhere and then brock can come in and destroy whoever that loser is once in a while to reunify

Probably the best timing since she is just waiting for the tournament winner anyways. Also, If Ember stays in NXT she can talk about how she broke Asuka.

this article on ho ho lun is an amazing mix of :smith: and :unsmith: http://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2107622/wwe-cult-hero-ho-ho-lun-reflects-his-journey-nxt-after-returning

quote:

“I see it on my Twitter – ‘Ho Ho sucks’. I said, ‘Yeah, I know’. It breaks your heart but I know it’s true. If I’m reviewing that match, I’d type the same thing on my Twitter.

“But if they criticise me, that means they watched me. It’s better than people not watching me. It motivated me to get better.”

...

Lun performed at around four NXT live events in Florida each month but did not get the chance to wrestle on NXT’s weekly WWE Network programme as much as he would have liked.
“Other than the Cruiserweight Classic, every NXT match I do the guy is one foot taller than me, I can’t do much,” the 1.7 metre-tall Lun says with a hint of frustration.
His final match on NXT programming was a defeat in July to an American wrestler named “The Velveteen Dream”, who stands at 1.88 metres.

“Most of my matches in NXT are like five minutes. If there’s a chance, I wanted to do more matches with smaller guys.”
Lun was actually announced as part of the initial roster for WWE’s “205 Live” programme, which debuted on the WWE Network late last year featuring performers from the Cruiserweight Classic.
“I never got a chance to wrestle there. I don’t know what happened,” he says. “Maybe they want me to stay in NXT for a while first. I wanted to go there – the crowd is always 5,000 or more.

I imagine the silver lining to all this is that if the injury is legitimate, Vince will almost certainly have a ton of respect for her. Not that it will mean much, but still.

Note: Top half of that picture is part of her x-ray. I don't think WWE would go as far as to get an X-Ray done just for an angle/work.

So while it could still be a work, I really doubt it at this point.

They don't do X-rays for worked injuries, come on people. Remember when Roman had "cracked ribs and internal injuries" and there were no X-rays to be found? (he was back on TV in 2 weeks).

They did for Rollins' knee, too. Though in fairness, that was actually used in an angle. Regardless, dudes in /woooo/ are usually happy to comb video for possible injury / botch moves. Hey

By the way, have a fun factoid. Someone on Reddit translated Asuka's promo she cut in Japanese on the NXT before Takeover Brooklyn, and it is a thing.

quote:

"How many times do I have to say the same thing you loving idiot?"
"You can't loving beat me. Don't you know who I am? I'm Asuka, you bitch!"
"I'll put you in the loving hospital! In the loving hospital! Keep this in mind!"

This also ties into the fact that Triple H outright said in an interview that he doesn't understand what she says in Japanese, just that it sounds badass.

Vince actually sent the Brisco Brothers to pick up the belt from her because he felt she was being unprofessional not relinquishing it. "Here we go again," sighed Gerald as he left.
