If you had told me years ago the only person from NXT who wouldn't be ruined on the main roster would be Elias, I wouldn't have believed you

What about Braun

0 TV NXT matches, one single house show NXT match. Was basically there for a cup of coffee and didn't even drink half of it

Big part of the Bayley This Is Your Life promo segment

If Bray Wyatt hadn't been on top of his game last year, that would have been the worst WWE segment of the year easily

The only thing worse than Alexa is the terrible fans of hers. Especially the ones that post here.

Hey guess what? RAW 25 will be 5(!) hours long!!!

Hell yeah, inject 5 hours of terrible writing right into my veins.

Jesus loving christ

Yeah, good luck with that everyone else. Not enough alcohol in my town to make this a good idea for me

So is Enzo legit injured? Not the leg part that was fake, but that kick looked like it could've damaged an orbital bone.

He got stitched up, yeah. I don't think it was bad enough he'll miss significant ringtime tho

The surgery she got was different to what WWE wanted for her, if I recall correctly? I have this vague recollection that it was specifically intended for people who were NOT going to be wrestling again afterwards?

Her plan was always to wrestle again and to do so in WWE, if I recall correctly I think it was just that they didn't think surgery was needed in the first place

Yeah they clearly wanted that angle to be a big deal, and they don't want to nix it at its peak as long as the only hurt member can still be ringside without needing to take a bump

wait I thought nbc owned USA

TV rights negotiations are soon (he specifically said WWE wants to make an announcement/deal before the second half of the year) and Fox is one of the parties interested apparently

DarkstarIV posted:

Yeah, but Fox's interest is only there if they don't manage to lock UFC down in another deal. Which doesn't seem likely, because aren't UFC and FOX on good terms with each other?

UFC's deal is up late in the year and they also have interest from multiple parties

Fox's offer to extend their deal was very underwhelming to them; they basically offered half of what UFC asked for (they want $450mil)

I definitely think Fox keeps UFC, but it's not going to be close to what UFC values itself at

I wanna say it was worse than the HHH/Reigns match

Was definitely worse than Cena/Miz because at least the Miz video package was incredible

also stop believing cavauroposts etc etc

Have you rewatched that match recently, it's preeeettty goddamn dire.

Like, it's 30 minutes of HHH getting heat on Roman's face and then looking like he was shot with a cannon whenever Roman punches him while the crowd constantly shits on it, with one brief moment of life when Stephanie gets Speared*.



* Accidentally.

I don't disagree with it being really really bad

But at least both participants were mobile for over half that match

I'm glad we've reached true equality with the women in WWE. Just like the men, all of them are terrible and always have been. Plus their matches suck and the feuds are either lame or don't make sense from week to week.

At some point we're going to have to appreciate Vince's game of chess

If he couldn't get Reigns cheered, he was drat sure going to find a way to get everyone else booed and not cared about. And he did it
