AJ looked like poo poo in the Roman feud. Granted this is on booking but I hated that whole mess.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:The gently caress? He spent the whole time looking on his level. That was easily the best WWE feud of 2016 outside of Styles/Cena and I'm not damning with faint praise He lost to Roman's protected finisher, which is somehow only a thing that matters and is bad when it applies to Roman Reigns matches.

And he and Reigns managed to time that superman punch counter to the forearm to within a millisecond. It looked freakin' perfect.

There is nothing NXT can do to prepare people for being booked badly, given astronomically less to do and no longer having people going out of their way to help you succeed, and the dichotomy will not end until either corporate mandate turns NXT into more of a WWE-style product, WWE somehow has a transfer of power that reshapes its approach to its own product, or NXT dies.

they should make NXT the developmental league for the XFL instead, seems about as useful.

Big Coffin Hunter posted:lets not also forget "bad booking for everyone," "every promo is completely scripted," and "we'll bring you up as if everyone already knows who you are" as part of the main roster problems They came pretty close to just re-telling Bayley's story. All they had to do was have her beat Charlotte for the title and end her streak at Mania and then they did these on Raw and Fastlane respectively because  Big Coffin Hunter posted:The gently caress?

There are plenty of vinceisms that won't happen anymore and will be replaced by whatever weird poo poo stephanie wants at random on the night of the show. maybe some of them will be the same but probably not all. That's quite the change and i'm looking forward to it

dromal phrenia posted:His new gimmick of being a grinning poo poo-talker with muscled backup works more towards his mic strengths than his old persona did, imo. I can't imagine him wowing me with a fiery babyface promo but he can definitely be a smug dick. His heel persona was pretty much that in New Japan, and also preferable to his baby face runs. His matches as a heel weren't as good tho. As far as his mic work goes, we'll see how good he can be when he's not speaking to pidgin English speakers.

Now I'm wondering if Tama Tonga would struggle with that in WWE or if he'd just go full Scott Steiner and scream gently caress YOU anyway

Big Coffin Hunter posted:To pretend Bayley Was Always Bad and wasn't one of the most popular acts on the NXT roster is loving moronic. The problem with her on the main roster is the problem with everyone else they bring up, they think everyone has already seen the story on NXT instead of retelling it on the big stage. i dont give a gently caress about nxt, if someone is bad on the main roster they suck. Alexa is better than Bayley in every single way.

Roman eating like 5 finishers including the styles clash onto the chair was dumb as poo poo. The match was an overbooked mess with its sole goal being to make Reigns look like Superman.

The reason why I want strong finishers for more wrestlers is because i have a strong finisher. Even though I didn't do it, my little brother got hit by that finisher and isn't around any more. It wasn't me but it was still my finisher. that helps me to feel like the wrestlers are similar to me and i'll often buy t-shirts of them.

Considering what they pay in travel expenses this seems really bad if true: https://twitter.com/stellakae/status/950807273026146304?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Em5%7Ctwgr%5Eemail%7Ctwcon%5E7046%7Ctwterm%5E1 I don't know much about Stella Kae other than she's good friends with Summer Rae and other current/former main roster women. I doubt this is bullshit
