The LED ceiling was legitimately amazing.

It's going to be the best goal celebration in the NHL, and is fully customizable. Entrance ceilings are definitely in play.

Also, if you want to watch but don't want a ticket, the plaza outside will show all events live.

I'm just glad that every single pro team is going to be playing within two blocks of each other in the downtown area. The Joe was so hopelessly outdated, and who the hell ever wanted to drive all the way out to Auburn Hills for Pistons games?

The Wings, hopefully, transplanted the most active boards in the league from JLA to LCA. Those things were magical.

I wasn't allowed on the ice, but I think that's gonna be the same boards style.

I disagree. I feel like Khali is going to attempt to stand himself up from a sitting position after hiding underneath the ring the entire match. It will be a painful, awkward sight to see.

Example: if it would've just gotten the goddamn coronation of Roman out of the way, I wish they'd have had him gone over Brock clean at Mania 31, even though it'd have gone over like a wet fart. What has happened since has moved from a wet fart to violent food poisoning that has gone on for basically 2 and a half years and if Roman/Brock remains the plan for Mania 34, it will have essentially put the product on hold for THREE YEARS for something that almost no one wanted to begin with and yet they somehow want it less and less as time goes on.

100% agreed, and what makes it even worse now is that the answer to all of this is staring them right in the face.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with Neville having a crazy long title reign, but god the other Cruisers need something to do. A tag title or another singles one, but something to push the narrative forward, a reason for these dudes to go out there.

I understand why people conceptually want wrestlers to put over their peers on their way up, I really do! But I think people arguing for it in this specific case are not taking into account both the importance of Asuka and the current state of the NXT women's division. There was nothing to gain from Ember winning at TakeOver and a lot to lose.

Asuka coming in as an undefeated monster is cool in theory, but they've managed to gently caress up so many NXT call ups at this point that I have no faith that Asuka is somehow going to be one of the very small handful of people to escape that curse. Especially, with how bad they book the women's division. For fucks sake they actually got people to boo Bayley.

All they had to do with Bayley is have her narrowly lose enough to establish her as the Little Train That Could coming up from the bottom, and instead she won most of her matches, was in the title picture immediately, and got the title on a random Raw.

Asuka's going to be beaten clean within the first two months, guaranteed.

Bayley should win most of her matches but narrowly lose the big one until she finally wins it on a big stage. Something like, say, the Ziggler/Miz feud stretched out over a longer period of time would be the perfect thing to do with Bayley.

People posting in this thread about how Asuka should've went out on her back because WWE will gently caress up her push anyway are loving stupid.

I won't deny that WWE is bad at booking, but just because they're regularly incompetent doesn't mean they shouldn't try to make Asuka look strong and powerful on her way into the main roster.

Yeah for real. They have someone who looks strong and is over with the fans. You try and keep that momentum going. gently caress it.

I'm kinda turning back around on Enzo again. He's bringing a lot of energy to 205 and scrappy cheating rear end in a top hat is a pretty good way to justify his place among much more technically impressive wrestlers. Hearing a 205 crowd chanting captain underpants and getting into a match that didn't even feature Enzo was pretty cool and I think he's already having a positive effect on the division that might be the push the show needs.
