Tato posted:Just to confirm for my own sanity - is the only reason Alexa Bliss is involved in any of this because she had an intergender tag team with Braun two years ago? Like....that’s it? An intergender tag team on a Facebook stream no one watched = being kidnapped and turned into The Fiend? I just assumed this was supposed to be a gimmick for Liv Morgan when they rebooted her and Vince or someone said "no, what you really want is Alexa" and here we are. E: cry-laughing at this quote:William Regal - Bar none, the best color commentator in the business today. He tries to get over the unique personalities of the talent, the importance of the matches and has the experience and knowledge. A great talker. I’m not sure if his soft spoken British style is what WWE wants, although he has announced on NXT for a long time. Considering the state of WWE announcing, it’s a shame this is his only U.S. television. Once, in describing Corey Graves, he tried to compare him with Keith Richards, saying that people will always remember Richards while three years from now, nobody will remember Justin Beiber, Hanson and the Jonas Brothers. I’m not sure anyone today remembers Hanson except as the guy who lariated all those guys in All Japan. But it was sad when Graves won a match using the old Fuller leglock, and Regal explained it and started talking about the Fuller family, and Saxton and sidekick Chris Russo had no idea what he was talking about past the idea that maybe it was some old guys who used to sell brushes.

Ganso Bomb posted:I don't really see that connection. They're pretty different and not really comparable IMO. Seems like kind of a reach. They're both doing some kind of "spooky" thing, but that's about it. To me it's more like the Rosemary/Su Yung stuff they were running in Impact but I know that can't be what they're ripping off because no one's watching that poo poo

It's absolutely absurd that the big selling feature of WWE is that it's content you're meant to watch live, but without pause and rewind you have to sit there through their interminable 7 hour shows and not get up if you don't want to miss things.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:The golden age of saving money by cutting the cord and subscribing to streaming is just about over. Now there's going to be so many different streaming services that you'll have to pay just about what you were paying before just to watch everything you want. Which is pretty much fine with me. At least I'm paying for what I want and not a package of channels with the one I want bundled with a bunch of trash. Also I can cancel and rotate services around, like subbing to NJPW World for only the big events (if I want) or picking up a month of Shudder when they premiere something I want to see. Maybe most people don't roll like that but at least it gives you freedom to do it.

I would think that the Charlotte/Lacey/Ric angle would be repellent enough but yeah the Alexa one is also very bad on several levels. Like people seem to forget or handwave the rapiness of how it kicked off in the first place.

Astro7x posted:With there being talent were literally begging for their release so they could go elsewhere, why don't they just break all these dumb rules until they are released like Zelina? Seems like a few tweets about unionizing and promoting poo poo would get that done quickly. They won't actually release anyone they don't feel is expendable. They'll just suspend and heavily fine people to the point where repeat "violators" of the rule are working for free.

A Fancy Hat posted:I've been reading the NXT results and news on and off for the last 3 months and I have no idea what's real and what's not. This used to be the issue with NXT UK, aka Schrodinger's Wrestling but it definitely seems to be the case with regular NXT too. Kind of a scathing indictment of a show that's on USA in prime time.

How often has asking for a release actually gotten the desired result for a talent? He probably should've just slapped his leg a bunch of times or done an unauthorized stream of himself playing the AEW casino game
