If taking pictures with Bullet Club will get you your release, then they're even cooler than I thought.

The cruiserweight division was created in the interest of fair competition. it's very hard for someone under 206 pounds to combat someone over 205 pounds without an improperly balanced level of risk. it is unjustifiable

More people watched a replay of Summerslam in the last week than 205 Live. Hope they're buying lots of shirts.

the problem with a cruiserweight division in WWE is that cruiserweight in WCW meant "workhorse." People ended up kind of believing smaller guys were just always better workers. WWE will never ever allow the style of wrestling we saw in WCW, so all we got is smaller guys who are still kinda dull.

the wwe 2k team asked the bucks to do motion capture for 2k18 since so many people made create-a-wrestlers of them. i hope this means that those garbage games get cancelled and their development contract gets terminated.

Sounds like the Neville rumors might have been true after all. That's a real shame, I feel like 205 was on the cusp of a big swing if they stuck with the current push, but losing Neville is gonna be a big hit. Hopefully he lands on his feet in NJPW or wherever.

Beating the poo poo out of Enzo and costing himself an opportunity at a rematch was the perfect time to move Neville back to the main roster. I know Jinder is garbage but one positive is that it isn't unbelievable for lower card guys to get title shots against him.

Remember when they ran that whole angle about how fatt lardy was dieting and stripping and so forth so that he too could be a cruiserweight? They should do that again. It would be a good way to get someone over

Latino Pete posted:I’m not really a fan of the Bucks, but that’s a good tweet right there. I'm a fan of the Bucks and that's a great tweet Also rovert posted:*According to two different sources, Neville has pushed for a release with the idea of leaving the company and building his name outside of it, similar to what Drew McIntyre did prior to his return to NXT. We have been told there were several factors Neville was unhappy with. One source claimed a souring point was being left off of the Wrestlemania 33 DVD, which meant no royalties from what is traditionally the biggest selling WWE DVD of the year. lol that's insanely cheap/petty by wwe

Aries/Neville was on the main card until Twitter thought having the Smackdown Women's title match on the main card would end sexism and campaigned for it to be changed.

James Ellsworth did a podcast interview this week where he said Carmella was the one who came up with the Carmella/Ellsworth storyline and pitched it to Vince, who loved it. So good on Carmella for knowing how to get things done and probably keeping Ellsworth employed past the AJ Styles storyline.

TNA put out a 4 DVD set of Jeff Jarrett's career there. WWE could have made a 7 hour show be released in its entirety, even if it needed a mysterious extra disc to do so

I heard "Ellsworth is getting a girl" then the segment on Smackdown got delayed/cancelled (as things can like the Fashion Files can) for like 2 weeks. Spent all that time thinking it would be Becky Lynch. rovert fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Oct 12, 2017 |

If only WWE released the PPVs on a higher capacity disc, and you could have many discs in a package. Alas, this doesn't exist, so suck it Neville.

MassRafTer posted:No they don't. Does the Junior Heavyweight division not have its own tag titles in addition to a singles title? Do heavyweights regularly clown on the juniors? Do junior matches get bumped off the main card, do they get truncated to 5 minute match times? Are juniors not given special entrances for their matches? Are Junior Heavyweight Champions chumped on pay per views by wedding DJs with funny hair, then written off because "creative has nothing for them"?

Two Beans posted:Does the Junior Heavyweight division not have its own tag titles in addition to a singles title? Do the junior heavyweights main event major shows? Do top juniors make as much as top heavyweights? Given how rushed junior tag title matches are the answer to the third question is yes, they do. Or they put the winners of a tournament into a four way because there is no room for a regular junior heavyweight tag title match on the card. When the top junior faces the top heavyweight do they lose 95% of the time? They are not treated as poorly as in WWE but they are not on par with the heavyweights and historically have not been.
