You're describing NXT now though?

HHH also doesn't know when to loving stop with what good ideas he does have. DIY ruined NXT for me, but TUE in... Is it every wargames?... is just atrocious.

Oh, and they've lost all but the first one except Roderick Strong lost that one so Roddy has lost all the wargames

That's more or less my point though. NXT only looks good (in comparison to the main roster) because as soon as Triple H is done with someone he can wash his hands of the situation, since he doesn't book the main roster. When/if he takes over booking the main roster, he won't have anywhere to send the people he's done with (except for catering).

Yeah.

That is what made NXT great though. You got to see different people rise to the top of the card, and then when they finished they'd just go off to the main roster to flounder.

It still blows my mind how WWE managed to gently caress up their roster by making 5 brands and keeping all the dead weight around

I'm saying you're right but already right. NXT performers are floundering or stuck in weird feuds. The conversation about Ripley is emblematic.

Or their arms fall off mid-match. We can already see the future of WWE now: disregard for performer health, injuries, endless feuds and losing to AEW.

Having a four man stable is just too easy, you don't need to think about why one half of the match is teaming at all!

Earth-1145 is truly the best!

On one hand, it's ridiculous that they keep putting TUE in every Wargames match.

On the other, look at the non-TUE people who have been in Wargames matches:

2017: Authors of Pain, Roderick Strong, Killian Dain, Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe
2018: Pete Dunne, Ricochet, the Viking Experience
2019: Ciampa, Keith Lee, T-Bar, and special Main Roster Guest Kevin Owens filling in for Matt Riddle who was filling in for Johnny Gargano elsewhere on the card
2020: Pete Dunne, Pat McAfee, Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch

If I'm one of those 2020 guys I would not like my long-term odds looking at the guys from the previous three matches.

Retribution is a 5 person stable doing an invasion angle right before Survivor Series and not only wasn’t the focus of the SS match, I don’t think they were even mentioned once.

Has HHH had a retirement match? One would figure that he would have had one already since he became management but then he’s wrestled as recently as those Saudi shows as those types of matches may require him to put someone over.

Even besides the Hurt Business, if they were invested in Raw Underground at all, the people from that taking on Retribution would be a pretty good story.

When Brock broke his arm with the kimura he did a big sad walk up the ramp complete with looking to the crowd with sad eyes like this might be it for HHH and the crowd chanted "you tapped out" at him.

I don't think HHH will retire in the traditional sense because he isn't leaving the company.

Please help somebody with terrible audio processing ability understand what is being said here.

Also; they don't see anything in Black or Andrade because devotion to the company is the only metric of worth these days. Reward believers, excoriate doubters. Typical cult stuff. Great deal if you can get it and see morality and humanity decency as liabilities.
Shame we're stuck in a loop of repeating the same points ad nauseum because we have no ability to change this or otherwise cope with the episodic snuff film that is this company and its product.

MJF lives his gimmick, man, which is easy to do when you work for a company that lets you do what you want.



e: when the dad got pissed that MJF and went to Cody about it, MJF's response was "gently caress them kids"

An actual Lana push is almost sorta happening, I'm surprised.

Also, I don't mind draws and gently caress finishes occasionally, it's mad to me that they showed that the New Day and Hurt Business were equal with a draw, to drum up interest.....

Then immediately went to a loss for Hurt Business.
