VJeff posted:And going to WWE is gonna fix that? They'll just go from not seeing them because they're in Japan to not seeing them because they're at a house show in Fuckville, Kansas. At least with the former they have control of their characters. I mean I could easily be wrong, but I’ve seen them (and others) mention that even on a wwe schedule you at least get to see them a few days every week and if something were to happen, you’d only be a couple hours away. It’s a large reason why AJ and Karl jumped.

VJeff posted:I dunno if Rovert can confirm or deny this but I assume AoP and Sanity were going to be in the tag team MitB match and then that got scrapped, so they don't have anything for them because WWE can't book a tag team division outside the top two teams and maybe one more to be a future challenger like Bludgeon Bros or McIntyre Ziggler. I will try to get that answered. Takeover weeks are good to get info as everyone is real chatty. One thing I've always forgotten to ask and just learnt today is that NXT wrestlers do get paid for live events and Takeovers. One stage that wasn't true. But Bayley and NXT Brooklyn and a mild social media outcry (Meltzer reported it) was the impetus for that change. Go Bayley.

This is true, if Punk had fixed fights like Takada he'd still find a way to lose.

Plus the Vince Filter, which is where the punishment aspect comes in. I will die on the hill that NXT and 205 are consistently good (which they are) and it's no coincidence that Vince has nothing to do with them.

omega is tall and not 40 years old if they pay him what they need to pay him to get him to jump from njpw they're going to want to push him based on the payroll so he'll be fine. he probably won't be "the guy" likely he'll be the Other Brand Top Guy but he'll be fine.
