OFFICIAL RACIST
Since WWE has like a billion shows now that involve fake manfighting and the old thread was out of date, here is a new one, that summarizes everything you should want to know about the shows!!!


WWE NXT
Airs: Everywhere but the United States.
Summary: Imagine being able to watch the future (and current) jobbers of the WWE duke it out, and actually be relevant. That's NXT. There is a lot of good talent here, and with more to come, I expect the quality to remain fairly high.

WWE Superstars
Airs: Outside of the US, on whatever TV channels you have. In the US, its whenever the gently caress WWE feels like uploading it to YouTube Hulu.
Summary: Imagine a show where jobbers duke it out with no storylines involved whatsoever. That's what Superstars is. Also its mostly recaps of RAW. Some Smackdown as well. But mostly RAW.

WWE Saturday Morning Slam
Airs: Every Saturday morning on the CW.
Summary: It's a show for kids. It contains some mid card stars. It also has some segments tailored to a younger audience obviously. It's rated G, so don't expect too much out of this.

WWE Main Event
Airs: Every Wednesday
Summary: It's like WWE Superstars, except with upper to main event level superstars competing. It's a show that started out strong, and it has title matches, but its nothing special!!

That E! Diva Show
Airs: Who the gently caress knows. Or cares.
Summary: I have no loving clue. I don't care and I'm not watching this. You should do the same.

Obviously if anyone has any suggestions for the OP, please PM me or yell at me in this thread right here!!!!

I am very disappointed in the current NXT format not being on Hulu. All you get is the older competition/Superstars style shows. I want to see Kassius Ohno hit people, drat it.

On the plus side, I can watch a HHH vs Snitsky match anytime I want.

Remember when Superstars was advertised as ANYBODY ANYTIME. The poster had Triple H, Rey, Morrison and Batista.

Then all they ever booked was like R-Truth vs Fat Hardy or Primo vs Tyson Kidd.

ONCE we got an Orton match.

New NXT up on Hulu. Kind of a meh show. I'm really not into Mgilli..Mci...Hennig much unless he's working with Tyson Kidd and I can't decide if i like Steamboat or not. Kruger continues to do some good enough work and someone ripped Ryback's singlet causing him to yell "YOU RIPPED MY SINGLET!!!" which cracked me up for around 7 minutes.

RAW RECAP!!!
Jake Carter vs. Leo Kruger
Ryback vs. does it matter?
Richie Steamboat vs. Kassius Ohno

Loved Carter throwing the Vader-style punches in the corner and wish the announcers would have referenced it. Kruger's new character makes his in-ring performance a bit more interesting. Opener and main event were both worth watching, and I'm glad the Steamboat/Ohno rivalry is carrying on.

Ohno/Steamboat video package
Michael McGillicutty vs Bo Dallas
Paige video package
Jake Carter vs Leo Kruger
The Ryback vs Aiden English & another jobber
Kassius Ohno vs Richie Steamboat (with J.R. on commentary!)

Thoughts
- Shaw/Bo was decent, but bland
- Carter/Kruger was fairly solid, mostly there as an exhibition for Kruger's creepy new gimmick
- The Ryback's match was like every other Ryback match. Only difference here was that one of the jobbers managed to rip his singlet.
- Ohno/Steamboat was a very solid main event to an otherwise 'meh' show. The finish was a bit surprising, but the ending leaves it open to continue the feud.

Speaking of Divas, the reason Skylar Moon's profile has been removed and she's been absent from twitter and the like for a while is that she's in rehab.

Further to the post earlier, we’ve received troubling word that Skyler/Buggy has, in fact, been checked into WWE sponsored rehab, which would explain her profile being gone from the NXT website and her absence from social media for the last month. It brings us no pleasure to report this news, but we hope she can deal with her issues. Her current status either in her rehab program or with the company at large remains unclear, but we wish her all the best at this time.

Wow what? Like I didn't really follow anything she did outside of WWE, but her character in that house show match looked interesting. I don't know if it's been mentioned what she's in there for, but it couldn't be something that bad for her to pass the drug/health test and then be sent to rehab, could it?

Randy's a good comparison. Cowboy Bob and Regal were(/are in Regal's case) both well known, but neither were big stars like the dads of the other guys you mentioned.

Did he specify which son? He has two or three I think.

People are pretty good at passing drug tests if they know about them in advance. There's ways around it. Also, for all we know, she could be an alcoholic and as long as she didn't show up tanked, no one would be the wiser.

Someone on another forum who's friends with her irl mentioned that she had been upset about leaving home and that literally nobody had heard from her for close to the last month (presumably because she's been in rehab) and that for the most part he'd only seen her get drunk a few times. That makes it sound more like she was just incredibly homesick which probably led to depression and drinking.

drat. Well, hopefully she gets the help and/or time off she needs and gets back to the ring when she's ready.

Her character/style definitely has a lot of potential right out of the gate and Lord knows they're hurting for Divas lately.

Part 2 Eve vs. Layla

Video quality is crap with some skips but it's all I found this morning. Looks like Superstars has moved to Friday for some unfathomable reason. DiBiase continues his worthless winning ways, there's a match with diva title implications on the D show, and Dolph and Kofi resume their best of 6,000 series.

Watching Main Event right now live. The Miz and Cole on commentary is neat and I like the announcers talking in the ring to start the show.

I haven't watched a live-action show without HD in a long, long time, though, so this is jarring.

Buggy is a great gal and I hope she does well in her recovery. The WWE could use some more flare in their women's division.

Who's taking bets? I bet it will be 3 months before WWE Main Event turns back into a Superstars show with lower card guys.

Also the NXT crowd popped huge for Drew, confirmation that the NXT crowd is freaking awesome.
