Well there's maybe like 1% of original wrestling themes that are listenable outside of wrestling.

But that's what I mean, maybe it works better timed with his entrance and video and lights and crowd noise and whatever. His TNA theme benefited huge from that.

It definitely helped the debut of the theme, for sure.

Hyped as gently caress for Takeover.

I still don't understand for the life of me why they looked at their statuesque former-marine good-mother all-American really-strong lady and thought "she needs to be an unlikable heel."

I also still don't understand why Vanessa Borne is on the roster.

no worries! i ended up hanging out with some locals who were happy to explain the angles to me, haha. this is obviously kinda off-topic for this thread but both shows that weekend were an absolute blast, and I was particularly impressed by the local women - wouldn't be shocked if some of them end up in NXT, in addition to heading off to Stardom and whatnot

and yeah, your take on Devlin makes sense - after the women's show Sunday, they taped some little thing by the merch tables where he chatted with Martina and he was just all smiles and seemed even more charming than smiley Finn. I think he wouldn't have a space in NXT right now, but could see him showing up on the WWE UK show (that will probably never actually launch), and if he got some kind of edge to him he could eventually do well in WWE I think

Yeah Debbie and Raven have been touring that match around Ireland, and they're being trained really well. We have a few schools run by people who came up in the 2000s when the scene was dead in Ireland, so they were touring Europe, a lot of that knowledge is being passed along now within Ireland. Valkyrie and Katey Harvey have more experience than Debbie and Raven, they go to GWF in Germany these days. I'd say Debbie Valkyrie and Raven could all make the move. Katey I hope does, but she might not have the look they want. she's great though.

He's absolutely lovely as a person. He dislocated a thumb on friday, broke it attempting to put it back in, and still wrestled a match on the Saturday. He works really well with Martina, they have a sort of 'She irritates the poo poo out of me but I love her' relationship. Like she's a dog who keeps shagging the carpet. I'd see him as good on 205 live, but I'm not sure Vince at least would see him going higher. I hope he does though.

Sometimes I think censorship might be a good thing for terrible opinions such as this.

Good Opinion: Kairi Sane is terribly over rated and Lacey will have a better career than her when all is said and done.

OFFICIAL RACIST
Lacey seems to have bad ideas for gimmicks anyways. I think both of her recent gimmicks have had at least some sort of xenophobia or racist elements involved. Her other gimmick was being paired with the Forgotten Sons, which is apparently a racist version of the Revival according to some house show stuff.

Also maybe Rovert can confirm/deny this, but I have heard Lacey is incredibly paranoid/bitchy at the PC and oversees tryouts. Which is a recipe for disaster.

You've probably seen other wrestlers do the things he can do, but he does them with a smoothness that makes everyone else look levels below him (Also he can do a 630)

Edit: Ospreay would be the 1B to Ricochets 1A in the rankings of high flyers in the world

Will Ospreay is a dorky white dude trying to imitate Ricochet. Every thing Ricochet does has more weight and snap to it and he makes it all look effortless. Ricochet is also way stronger and a top tier wrestle hunk.

It's slipped through the discussion but I can't believe how effectively and succinctly the NA title video package got across every character. The future of WWE video packages is in good hands.

The UK title looks a bit silly since they only regularly use 3 UK guys and the rest of the title defenses are just against US guys. I thought PROGRESS and EVOLVE were supposed to be feeders for the WWE, they really should just go all-in and show clips of those promotions and the belts being defended at them on a Saturday Night clip show or something.
