I get that his gimmick is a no nonsense black trunks boring guy. It's not for me, but I get it. He has a place in wrestling. Hopefully off the dead UK brand. It's specifically the chops that I can't stand. I just don't like that bit. Rolled my eyes at Bryan and Roddy deciding to bloody each other's chests in that random Saudi Arabia battle royale.

His ceiling on the main roster is Austrian Vladimir Kozlov

Vince is going to stuff WALTER into lederhosen the moment he gets to the main roster.

He covered up Keith Lee, you don't think he'd do the same to WALTER?

Reminds me a sketch MadTV did where PAX, a religious network, picks up Sopranos. They show a clip where Tony starts yelling at someone, then it does a cut, and goes "Next week, on Sopranos..."

Vince doesn't watch NXT very often.

Chops are in fact the best attack in wrestling. Because they make rad sounds & can't really do much in the way of long-term damage (I mean, there's probably an exception but as a rule they are safe)

I am reading the results for NXT and I gotta say, the Adam Cole arrest has to be some sort of rib on fans right?

Like, you arrested Adam Cole but not Jordan Devlin or Austin Theory who were also on the show?

Got it.

We saw Walter on the main roster, it was a disaster. The amount of "just a guy"ness he had was off the charts.

It's going to be interesting to see how many people just let the subscription lapse the moment there's any kind of barrier. People who would have continued to let ten bucks a month come out of their account as long as they didn't have to do anything, people who had forgotten about their subscription, people who are faced with having to sign up and just think "gently caress it, I can't be bothered". Any point like this is one where usage decreases.

I canceled my sub the other week and when they give you that survey about why you're canceling the first option is "I forgot I had an account". I poo poo you not.

It also used to happen in February to give time for an actual build to WrestleMania.

A fun thing to think about is even when WWE booking was a little more long term than now, many years they basically did the big "show before the go home show" angle the day after the Royal Rumble and had nothing to do for the two PPVs heading the show, much less the Raws on the way.

They'll never let Lex in despite being mostly a product of WWF because his best years were in WCW (even if they were short lived because Hulk Hogan gotta go over brother). 1996 and 1997 Lex Luger were something.
