That's a sweet message, and only becomes sad when I picture her finish typing it and in the corner of the room, Vince power walks out of the shadows and drags her away by her ponytail

Yeah with my favorites gone, I don't watch NXT on Wednesdays anymore. I'll go back and check it out if I hear something interesting happened, and I'm still interested in Nakamura or Revival matches, but overall my interest is focused on Smackdown and Talking Smack right now.

he can't go by KO, which i think was the whole point of the name (and also maybe yelling OH NO when he elbows some mook's face off)

and he also can't go by 'big kass' in tribute to his big beautiful body

i suggest the unused yet much beloved 'Lloyd Boner'

I don't like when they change a name completely despite the wrestler already having some sort of story on TV. They did it with Daria and now Dylan Miley, as if we are just supposed to forget whole segments of TV where they were interviewed and the name was said over and over. I'm fine with tweaking characters until something works but figure out the name poo poo before throwing someone on TV in a non-jobber role.

they should just kill off the old character and introduce the new character as their twin, out for revenge

Serious question: What does Crazzy Steve bring to the table that would make him an NXT asset in 2017? Don't say "veteran hand" because they already have a billion of those guys.

Maybe he can be SAniTy's mandatory jobber?

I don't know anything about CRAZZY STEVE so in my mind he looks like Prince of Punk-style Shannon Moore

If they couldn't use Chris Hero because they want to trademark it or whatever, he should just be Bob Hero.

And he should start doing some moves like Bob from Tekken.

And he should get even fatter.

i need a pic of the fat guy. the stock "fat wrestling fan" for me has always been the guy in the sandman jersey who turned his back on that one hhh match so if there's a new contender i have to see him.

this guy was way fatter. he was completely gigantic.

i searched 'nxt fat fan' and the first GIS result is Kassius Ohno so...

Kenny's more of a living game character IMO. He used to be a bit more anime (then again I think he stopped using the shoryuken which was part of what made him a video game)


I wish a wrestler was an anime. They'd be the greatest and also the worst.

Hot take: Ember has a better finish

Her finish is likely to gently caress up her hips or, i dunno, tailbone in the long run

Kenny's is probably pretty safe for him, although a botch might legit murder his opponent

wei shen is like 9001x more scary and intimidating than ho ho lun


although seeing ho ho lun as a psychopathic cop x gang member that snaps kneecaps at the slightest provocation would be an interesting gimmick if he ever comes back

I was following the ticket prices for Brooklyn and it looks like I can get a decent deal. Here's the problem, as I see it: I don't want to give money to one of Trump's biggest donors. I don't have the network, I rarely watch the TV. I've gotten various reactions from friends after asking for some sort of moral guidance and it varied from "eh, it'll be ok" to "go but donate an equal amount to the ADL" to "that's a good point, boycott it". I know this is hardly the place for moral authority, but I'm seriously unsure as to whether or not I want to go this year.

buying the ticket in any way will wind up giving you mental stress over whether you've compromised your morals or not. you won't be able to fully enjoy the experience and you'll wrestle (lol) with feelings of regret and be unsure if you've done the right thing.

you don't follow the product anyway, so you won't be missing much. it's not like you're a devoted superfan.

i say don't go. still donate to the ADL though

Thanks for that. You helped me realize that I'd be agonizing all night if I decided to go but by not going I don't have that weight on my shoulders. Takeover Brooklyn was real fun the past two years but as someone, as Max Brooks put it, Jewish enough for Dachau, the right thing is to boycott.

I am glad I could be of service. Have a wonderful evening and, ultimately, a wonderful life :)

Isn't it the word commonly translated as "bastard" that is actually a kind honorific, just said in that slurring growl?

it'd be like me calling someone 'a swell gentleman' except my tone indicates 'gently caress you'

gently caress I went to go start writing the new thread OP and realized that Triple H hasn't taken picture with any of the current champions

also holy gently caress eric young's twitter is entirely fantasy football advice. can't tell if kayfabe is dead or if wild anarchist eric young is now canonically a fantasy football expert

ahahAHAHAHa not only is that a hilarious sell, but the brief shot of the ref looking bored gave me a second big laugh after the first started to die down

i assume this was a no DQ match and that's why the ref is so blasé about the whole thing?
