I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

thing is with the roster WWE could be the best wrestling in the world but the whole structure just means it won't ever be.

NXT is a small window into how good they could make each show.

NXT makes it so much more frustrating because it’s not just potential hope, it proof that they can do better with production staff, writers, bookers, etc. who already work for the company and they just aren't doing it !

NXT was better when it just interns from Full Sail running the production. Now that WWE proper is starting to seep in its not as good.

Yeah I don't think anyone rational thinks the problem with WWE is entirely the talent. Its management that's the issue. Read: An out of touch 70 year old man who has probably changed his mind several times on storylines by time you get done reading this post.

And at least Rollins's apology came across as geniune opposed to people like Rhea or Hogan.

100%. Still remember the obnoxious camera cuts of that first NXT Wargames match and just feeling so sad that they were clearly wanting NXT to look & feel more like WWE main roster and that was about the start of me slowly stopping watching NXT.

Running the Ciampa Gargano feud into the ground main roster style and smothering their heat under a metric ton of poo poo was a great touch :discourse:

I havent had many gripes about NXT back when it was a thing I watched regularly but the two things I thought were lame were def 1) the gargano/ciampa feud being elongated for way too loving long and then ciampa got turned into a farm, killing a payoff and 2) they took the belt off Black way too quickly + jettisoned him off NXT too goddamn fast

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

They did about as well as they could given that Vince called up whoever he wanted, whenever he wanted. And they can't really be blamed for Ciampa - had they been able to pull the final trigger, it probably would have been quite something

Yeah, proof like publicly proposing to his girlfriend, brow beating her to move cross country with him, and then dumping her leaving her homeless in a new city.

Has he actually addressed any of that yet?

No. She also mentioned he was doing the "oh I just can't be with anybody right now"/sliding into other girls DMs combo so it wasn't just things suddenly not working out either.

Ah, I don't know any details of that. Just that she was living with him, the broke up, and now she has to place to live. That's terrible, obviously, and you'd hope the relationship would end amicably enough so she could get on her feet. But plenty of relationships don't and I hadn't heard any details.

But if he's already exposed as a huge rear end in a top hat with then there we are. The inevitable fulfilled..

The models are atrocious and you nailed the animation issue. the animation starts. stops. then plays the selected command instead of the character stopping to pose or the transition being set to start from the step onto the top rope.

Chris Brookes brought Will Ospreay, Toni Storm and Bea Priestley to Gatoh Move yesterday and I felt so bad for him because they decided to act like typical drunk obnoxious foreigners through the show while he was just trying to watch it.

Anyrhing involving any one of Ospreay, Priestley, and Storm is going to be embarrassing, all three of them especially so.

Brookes on the other hand owns, you can completely feel the difference in what loving Japanese wrestling means to him compared to Ospreay or whoever.
