Venomous posted:Not sure about the idea of a Roode/Itami feud, especially if they're going to drag it out to the next Takeover. I'd much rather Itami goes to Raw/205 Live sooner rather than later. There are literally 6 shows until the next Takeover in May

The prices for the upcoming Chicago PPV are rediculous. Especially considering what Payback was last year, and what we are getting this year. I am so glad I didn't buy tickets to it right away now that the card is more finalized It is also worth noting that they have a ton of tickets for NXT Chicago still on sale, including all of the floor ringside/camera side seats.

Black vs Hawkins was the first match on the NXT taping. Do I even need to say who won? Edit: Velveteen Dream TONIGHT. Velveteen Dream beats local jobber with a top rope elbow drop. Astro7x fucked around with this message at 00:45 on May 21, 2017 |

Gaz-L posted:What is so hard about "Ali pinned Bryan, so Ali gets a title match"? Why add this loving hoop beyond "5 hours of TV a week" which is honestly a bad excuse when they could have a promo segment between Bryan and Ali or Bryan wrestling a midcarder or crusierweight to show Ali what he'll do to him or any of a million other things that isn't just 'have the 2 guys feuding wrestle' or 'pointless multiman #1 contender's match'. Yeah... putting Ali vs. Bryan at the Rumble is pretty much the perfect match for that PPV. They can steal the show with a singles match, you don't pull a main eventer out of the rumble for a WWE title match, and Ali is in a much better position than a throwaway rumble spot where he has no chance of winning

karmicknight posted:Wasn't the original "the fed will keep the brand split" conclusion an extrapolation from "FOX doesn't want to promote USA's programming in a meaningful way in this current TV environment" That is what I remember the root cause being anyway. They could just not mention Raw on Smackdown, as stupid as it seems. Because those wrestling fans would be watching The Resident or 9-1-1 instead if they didn't know about Raw

10 championship matches, 2 Battle Royals, Triple H/Batista, Angle/TBA, Miz/Shane, Styles/Orton, Reigns/???.... yeah, it's going to be 17 matches. I mean, it's entirely possible that there is no blowoff match for some of those singles matches and they just lump it into the battle royal drama. But that doesn't seem likely. I'd honestly be okay if they left some title matches off the show, except people will be irrationally angry about it.

If “time spent watching the network” is a valid metric.... are they trying to tell us that people actually watch these entire shows? Over the past year I just tune in late and fast forward over anything I have no interest in.

Sanguinia posted:If the Mania card had some true exclusivity, like say if all the Champ v Champ or Brand v Brand bouts at Survivor Series were determinant in which titles got on the show and then like a 2 v 4 split in which brand get the special attraction/undercard slots, But then you have stuff like Brock beating Bryan at Survivor Series, and now Kofi got hot, but the WWE Title is relegated to the Pre Wrestlemania PPV Show

Rick posted:The brand split has increased the main roster size for sure but it's also increased the number of people getting TV time. The WWE just can't help themselves from turning Smackdown into at least 50% a Raw clip show in the non-brand split eras. This is what kills me. Why is it so hard to just book each person on one show per week, and not have a formal brand split? Like... is there zero self control? Do they need to push the big names for every shows for ticket sales? And if so, why not throw them all in a big 8 man tag match after the show is finished?

They should just do a three way dance with elimination rules. Becky gets the pin on Ronda, and then Charlotte pins Becky. Charlotte leaves with all the gold without pinning Ronda. I love it, book it!

They just called up 10 people within the past few months. You think they wouldn't further gut NXT by taking people that they don't need and have no plans for. But... they need something to shock the post mania crowd with.DarkstarIV posted:Dave is apparently speculating that Kairi Sane and Candice LaRae are on the callup list, and that Sami Zayn will probably return next week. What wonderful insight by Dave

DarkstarIV posted:I mean I guess there were plans previously in March as well to have both Kairi and Candice work the house show circuits. Kairi actually did work the house show circuits for a bit back in February. Candice hasn't, but I can see them wanting her on the main roster if she's going to ever amount to anything. They seem to be building to her facing Shayna, but I think she's likely just a filler challenger for San Jose or something. I am sure Dave's speculation is moreso that both of them were in the Women's Battle Royal. I can't even think of who they could shock us with by having a surprise return. Zayn is the obvious choice. Bray Wyatt is a possibility. They used Harper last night. Fandango, Akam, and Sin Cara have been injured, but would be underwhelming if they are healthy. They could maybe decide to move somebody up to Raw/SD from 205 Live.... NXT just feels like anybody big would be a big loss, and anybody too low on the card is going to not make an impact. Like I can't see TUE moving up, but could see them totally calling up TM61 and having them do nothing on the main roster

I still can't believe how Sanity killed it in that War Game match, they get brought up to the main roster, and they decide to do absolutely nothing with them. They didn't even try. -Announced during the April 2018 Shakeup -Do nothing until June -Win an Extreme Rules Pre Show Tables Match against New Day in July -Wrestle matches on Smackdown through August for New Day to get their wins back. -Do nothing until being added to a Survivor Series Pre Show Tag Match in November. -Do nothing until being brought back to lose to Miz as Shane's lackeys in February -Broken up in the April 2019 Shakeup

Got some hot scoops for the Spoiler Thread! Nikki's team beats Brie's team next week on Double Dare https://twitter.com/WRESTLEZONEcom/status/1121850778954752007 I've seen zero promotion for this... but they do air opposite of Raw and SD next Monday and Tuesday at 9pm and 9:30pm EST. I'm always surprised when they air stuff like this to compete with their own shows. Like airing Total Bellas/Divas during a PPV on Sunday night

DarkstarIV posted:Mandy is a blonde. Take note that every woman who has won MITB so far has been blonde. Admittedly its a sample size of 2, but still. Vince (and probably Kevin Dunn) seems to be hellbent on finding the next Trish/Sable. Well... there were technically 3 Women's MITB matches, but the statistic still stands. ShakeZula posted:Mandy winning makes sense only insofar as she is literally the only heel in the match (now that Alexa's out) I think that a SD woman will win MITB, Lacey will lose, and then some fuckery will happen with the Charlotte's match that happens immediately after (like Seth vs. Cena/Sting with no break). Either the SD winner will cash in right after the Lacey match and effectively cancel the Charlotte match, add themselves to Charlotte Match, or DQ finish and cash in on Becky after two matches essentially.Mandy being the only heel would make that make sense
