No company is safe from their results being posted here, so browse at your own peril of getting wrestling matches like pentagon jr. being the Lucha underground champion ruined for you. Rumors & betting lines are good too because a lot of times they turn out to be legitimate. But Pentagon Jr isn't LU champion. Pentagon Dark is.

I had no idea Usos/Breezango was even a match. Was there an actual segment, or just "tag teams lol"? Mulaney Power Move posted:if the silhoutte wwe.com put up means anything, it doesn't look like bayley. looks more like nikki. that's my scoop. Reminder that they were using Alex Riley as the male mystery participant silhouette for years.

Great White Hope posted:WWWF World Heavyweight There was a lot of merging/splitting/new belt introduction/company name changes over several decades so I don't know if that counts quite as much as TNA's "we're gonna do a whole new thing every other week" title.

Does TNA genuinely get bored/ADHD about their own concepts way faster than Vince? Or is it more that too many people are deciding which direction to go?

The only reason I think Crews is taking the IC title is because they won't shut up about the New Era being an opportunity for new talent and Miz with any belt is old news these days.

It was never going to be anything but what Vince decided 10 minutes before and probably during the show while munching a steak wrap. We just have more insight into his changes by the minute nowadays.

81sidewinder posted:Hero was the skinniest he had been since signing when they fired him, so the weight issue doesn't make much sense. Yeah, he looked great at the time. From what I heard he was repeatedly talking above his station. I can't speak for how that is in wrestling, but I know that in theater and film, you don't tell other actors what to do in a scene when the director has other ideas, no matter how much experience you have. You generally go through the director and hope they agree with your advice. I imagine it works the same for all performance-based entertainment, in addition to the usual politicking and pettiness.

dromal phrenia posted:wasn't vince supposedly oblivious to the fact that some men find some asian women attractive? anderson's repeated references to his 'hot asian wife' probably confused vince, and confusion infuriates him I believe the story goes that Vince was reluctant to hire Gail Kim until JR pointed out that a lot of men find Asian women attractive, and Vince was baffled that there was an entire porn subcategory devoted to it. Class acts at WWE.

Benne posted:I just think it's a problem with not creating new stars to hold the high standards NXT created for itself with the women's division. They coasted off the Horsewomen for almost two years, and brought in Asuka to act as a bridge for the new generation, but somehow forgot Step 2 in building up fresh faces. They were trying to build up something worthwhile with Nia/Alexa/Dana/Carmella, but those all got sniped in the draft. Now the division is Asuka, Ember Moon who may or may not get over because she's still new, the Aussies who've been spinning their wheels for a year, and a bunch of random people. Nikki Cross has potential, but she's busy in a stable right now. Billie still needs some ring work but she's found a character that works for her, and Peyton is solid but needs to refine her character, which makes putting them together a really good idea. Nikki Cross will probably still get a major push and I think Sanity is going to elevate her status, not hinder it. I hope they use Daria more on TV, she was really impressive in her first televised match and her MMA background makes her a more credible threat.

long-rear end nips Diane posted:On a 2 hour show I'd rather see a focus on the WWE Championship/Cruiserweight/Tag than all of that + fitting the Intercontinental belt in there too. I definitely get this point, but there's also a whole lot of singles midcard that would just be doing nothing with no midcard heavyweight title. I guess they could form a ton of new tag teams, or drop weight, but at any given time there's always going to be only like 2-3 guys around the main belt so I don't know what happens with the rest.

SamuraiFoochs posted:There is no guarantee he won't go back to the Chris Hero name eventually, and it's a unique situation because he came in right before most guys kept their indy names and they might want to keep continuity instead of having to awkwardly go "THE MAN FORMERLY KNOWN AS KASSIUS OHNO, WHO WILL NOW BE KNOWN AS CHRIS HERO IS BACK!" especially on the first appearance, AND that's assuming what we saw wasn't just a dark segment where they used the old graphics because they had them. They could easily do a reverse-Itami/Asuka where he comes in and says "I'm known here as Kassius Ohno, but I will now be known as Chris Hero". The one I'm still miffed about is Apollo Crews. Uhaa Nation was such a badass name and if he'd held off on signing just a bit longer he probably could've kept it.

Wait until Vince hears the dadbod physique is in. He'll be hiring all the softbodies once he hears about it, so like 2074 when he's just a head in a jar kept alive by sheer stubborn willpower.
