When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
That sucks, Tegan is one of my faves somehow even though I find her character completely irritating.

Injured in the match he won the nxt title. And don't think she wrestled.

I’m surprised they didn’t do a repeat of the Keith/Mia vs. Gargano/Candace thing and give Scarlett a match against Mia leading up to takeover. I know the women’s roster is stacked but she’s not a terrible worker as far as I know.

How the gently caress did Gargano/Ciampa win Feud of the Year in 2019?
It was a typo, they won it for 2018, not 2019. I know people have soured on their endless feud, but this was for Year One of it, not Year Two or Three.

Though honestly, Gargano/Cole winning it in 2019 doesn't make a ton of sense either.

I always thought that feud totally fell apart a week after the first match.

2019 was the Year AEW Was Robbed, with a Shingo/Ospreay match beating Dustin/Cody for best match, and some NXT bullshit beating out Cody/Jericho for best feud.

he used to be Shane Strickland, or Shane "Swerve" Strickland, then he signed with NXT and became Isaiah Scott, or Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, and now I guess just Swerve Scott

they made the international king of swerve into one of the guys fighting for the kinda cruiserweight title on the minor league show and it makes me so sad :(

i just wanna see him come out to chaka khan one more time :(

the gd indie show i saw him at was mlw and they had some bs soundalike for his theme :(((((

Io made a Johnny short joke.

It is weird that Kyle O’Reilly has basically been a face for a month including in the promo stuff in the first half of the show and then seemed to be the heel in the contract signing against Finn who has been a tweener since coming to NXT.

They're being really weird with all of TUE. Like they can't decide if they're all tweeners, or some are faces and some are heels, or what. Like Adam Cole seems to definitively be a face now, and Kyle has been but the contract signing was odd.

Though the same seems to go for Finn.

you all laugh but baron corbin reverting back to his high school bully days in the minor league and hollering at scrubs to wait for the next largo loop would absolutely get me to check out some nxt.

i loved that character he fuckin cracked me up. oh they have to bring back his old theme.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe7mpyBs8AY
god its such a cfo$ theme too. nxt baron corbin was the rare extremely wwe gimmick that just crushed it for me, have that guy be around forever, maybe make him transitional champ ONCE, and just have him be the heel miniboss for scrappy faces to beat before the big match. he was perfect.

e: i will die on the hill that baron corbin is an extremely underrated talent that any company would get alot of use out of. wwe has uh... not been using baron corbin properly.

It's insane how bloated the WWE roster is with top level talent and yet most episodes of Raw and SmackDown are just the same handful of wrestlers fighting each other week after week. There's an almost endless number of entertaining possible match ups and they refuse to do any of them.

Given the guys sitting in catering, how the gently caress is Baron Corbin ever on TV again?
