ICR posted:Kross winning would be the worst decision to empower the toxicity, and to reward somebody who is bottom 15% in actual wrestling talent on the NXT roster. Like, there’s that many wrestlers there who are more competent in the ring than him. I will be so shocked if he doesn't win here. Io I think only loses if she's getting called up.

matches where only one outcome makes any sense at all are 100% meaningless filler and that's the only thing wwe has

Blaise330 posted:I hope Raquel is good cause I want a monster heel hoss that isn't Nia Jax or Tamina. She's a fine hoss, but not someone you want leading your division either. It's the Shayna problem all over again. In that she looks threatening, but won't be bringing any new viewers to the product. Spiderdrake posted:They put the belt on him when his loving arm was falling off. Man, don't even put the thought of Io getting called up into my head. I have zero confidence she gets used properly. But I agree in that if she loses, she is getting called up (which is unfortunate because I don't see her being utilized properly at all, especially if she gets sent to RAW). Because otherwise NXT runs the risk of Io overshadowing Raquel still. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 22:46 on Apr 7, 2021 |

They play him up as this brilliant investment mind when in reality he was pitching stocks like WorldCom and Enron at the time. You could tell he watched previous years speeches and designed his to get maximum crowd pops. Drop plenty of popular wrestler names, tell a road story, etc. However, it came off as cringeworthy with no audience. Then he ends it with "To anyone I ever hurt or said something that offended you... get over it you snowflakes!!! Hahaha"

ICR posted:Hell yeah!!! Setting his abhorrent politics aside, Kross just always strikes me as completely bland in the ring. And it's really surprising because he has the look of someone who should be an effective monster heel but I've never seen a match of his where he's impressed me like that. The best I ever saw out of him was a dark match against Shane Strickland and that was just because Swerve decided to stiff the living poo poo out of Kross to the point where he left with a visible boot print welt on his face.

Who could possibly have strong opinions about Raquel Gonzalez

Benne posted:Who could possibly have strong opinions about Raquel Gonzalez Well, you see, Raquel González has the size, strength and bad attitude to push any Superstar in WWE past her breaking point. Standing 6-feet tall, with muscles rippling throughout, the towering Texan does what she wants, when she wants, and there’s little anyone can do to stop her. As the daughter of longtime wrestler Ricky “Desperado” González, Raquel was all but certain to be a future Superstar. That moment finally arrived in 2017, when she appeared on the WWE Universe’s radar for the first time as a competitor in the inaugural Mae Young Classic Tournament. That González — a demure youngster, still a newcomer to the WWE Performance Center — bears little resemblance to the enforcer the NXT Universe knows her as today. Her change in attitude is largely due to her association with Dakota Kai, a partnership that came into view at TakeOver: Portland when González helped Kai defeat bitter rival Tegan Nox. Indeed, Kai should count herself lucky to be the lone woman in all WWE who doesn’t have to worry about suffering González’s wrath. While Kai stirs up trouble and makes enemies, González stands menacingly by her side, the bruising heavy who’s willing to do Kai’s bidding. Their partnership may not be popular with NXT fans, but González has enjoyed her greatest success since linking up with Kai, even notching a milestone pinfall over NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai to claim victory in the second-ever Women’s WarGames Match. With González eager to impose her will, expect a mess of competition to be left in this fast-rising Superstar’s rearview.

What has Kross done that is lovely? This isn't me doubting anyone talking about him being a horrible human being but I am curious as to what things that have come out about him. Same for Scarlett.

The revelation of Kross and Scarlett being Parler/QAnon turds is a shame because I saw them at a tiny indie fed shortly before Kross signed with WWE and they both, Kross in particular, couldn't have been nicer. Then again people said the same thing about what a good guy Drake was. I guess being kind to your fans doesn't preclude you from being a shithead otherwise.

A lot of people with bad politics are nice to your face, heck they might be nice about you even when you aren't around if they know you. It's always the unseen other those types are after/"escaping" from. They forget that "other" is your family and friends . . .

I genuinely think NXT is putting the title on Raquel Gonzalez to get ahead of AEW putting the title on Jade Cargill.

Cargill doesn't seem to be anywhere close to the title in AEW, so I don't know why WWF would be rushing for a title from whoever it is being discussed. Lady Diesel.

The story is that Jade didn’t fit the culture and is very strong in her convictions. Which, judging by her social media, sounds about right. She is who she is and can’t be molded.

I should mention the finish was insanely stupid as well. - Moonsault to the Outside - Long running knees onto the ramp - Io dove off the top of the skull onto Raquel - Io dragged her into the ring, hit the moonsault - Raquel kicked out - Raquel hit a single lariat, and then her one armed powerbomb for the win.

Seams posted:what'd she do? google isnt much help In 2018 she made a remark about how Mexicans need to get back on their taco trucks and leave the country. She also supports a border wall and separation of family at the border. Of course, it didn't stop there. All through 2020 she supported various right wing movements and especially Donald Trump, regularly liking and commenting on his Instagram posts. But, to add more fuel onto the fire, she didn't take COVID guidelines seriously as she was spotted at several biker rallies with Braun Strowman, with none of them wearing masks, of course. It didn't gain much traction because before this point she was pretty much flying under the radar, as no one really cared about what she did. But now that she's the champion, it'll be interesting to see if some of this stuff actually gains traction. Because if so, it will get awfully ugly for WWE. Especially since they are trying to break into the latin market. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Apr 8, 2021 |
