Destroy My Sweater posted:I want to hear Tucker's story. Plus he has a background in collegiate wrestling and did quite well for himself there, so I can see this becoming another Tay Conti situation where "he doesn't show much" with the WWE, and improves considerably elsewhere. Also, KC Cassidy is married to Shawn Spears, so yeah, the IIconics are probably headed to AEW soon enough.

DarkstarIV posted:Yeah but even then, the primary focus is still on Kross, even if he is bland as gently caress. Putting Raquel Gonzalez into a programme with Martinez is a pretty good idea - Martinez is a veteran, and a solid hand, and she can probably get something decent out of Gonzalez. But that poo poo should have happened before they put the title on her.

Digital Jedi posted:https://twitter.com/SkullsMedia/status/1386876323772067841?s=20 You know what? I'm loving fuming about this. WHAT IN THE gently caress DOES JAWS HAVE TO DO WITH A MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN!? Using that line in that context makes about as much sense as just straight up shouting "CLEAR THE TRACKS! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!" It seems appropriate, but it falls apart after even just a few seconds of thought applied to it. I'd originally typed "CLEAR THE TRACKS! I SEE DEAD PEOPLE!" but that actually kind of works, so...

davidbix posted:OH! I remember this now. Context was very obviously "What the gently caress?" at the time. It's a book about poo poo invented in Nazi Germany. The title basically translates to "The Nazis' inventions." Probably not the best cover they could have gone with, mind.

coconono posted:ok so now Nikki has wins over both Rhea and Charlotte. So does she get a title shot, is this how this works? Remember when she was feuding with Shayna Baszler in NXT, and Shayna once threatened to gently caress her up, and Nikki was like "Do it," and Shayna backed down because it's Nikki loving Cross, and how awesome that was? gently caress this loving company, and Nikki Cross and Killian Dain deserve better than this poo poo.

jesus WEP posted:JBL went from being in a well-protected and over tag team to world champ over like 4 months. Jinder went from being a literal jobber to world champ in like 3 weeks. JBL was also pushed to the top of the card at a point where there was a dearth of viable main event talent at the time. Angle seemed to spend a fair chunk of time on the sidelines because his neck was hosed half the time, Brock had hosed off to the NFL, Orton and Batista were still underdone during HHH's reign of terror on RAW. At least JBL could talk, had a great finisher, and some degree of credibility as someone who could hang with the main eventers from his APA days, even if previous attempts at turning him into a singles guy hadn't panned out. All Jinder brought to the card was a tepid mixture of foreign heel poo poo and bargain-bin JBL. There were plenty of guys around Jinder that could have served as a foil to Orton (or Bray, if they hadn't cut the legs out from underneath him for the umpteenth time), who's careers were stalled for quite some time to try to get Jinder over as a champion, when there's no loving way they wouldn't have known it was a doomed venture to begin with. Lamuella posted:I had fallen away from watching WWE already by this point but the moment I entirely accepted that WWE was in actual free fall rather than just slowly getting worse was October 6 2019 at Hell In A Cell. HIAC 2019 is a fascinating PPV, because if you just took the first hour or so has the makings of one of the best B-shows the WWE had put on in quite some time. Like, the first 3 matches on the main card (Banks v. Lynch, D-Bry and Reigns v. Rowan and Harper, Orton v. Ali) are actually worth going out of your way to see. And then the wheels go flying off in all sorts of directions, closing off with a 3-match sequence where each match just seems to get worse with each one. First, you get the debut of "Shorty G," where he's given the sysyphean task of getting something good out of Baron Corbin in a match that goes almost double the length it should - the way the storyline went, it should have been Gable beating the piss out of Corbin, immobilising him and making him tap out, and then getting the announcer to declare, I dunno, "Bitchass Loser Corbin is the loser of the match via tapout" or something like that. How in the hell is "Shorty G" supposed to get anyone over? Obviously, it's not. Then you get the typical Charlotte wins lol match against Bayley because if they have her beat someone that the crowd actually likes clean just one more time, maybe finally audiences will stop resenting her being rammed down everyone's throats as the greatest great that ever greatly greated or something. gently caress off. And then it finishes off with the HIAC match. By the time we got to that match, the show was on a hiding to nothing, short of delivering something that could compare favourably against the Taker-Brock HIACs at least. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Jun 12, 2021 |

Dearth of talent when you had the Smackdown Six there. Gimme a break! Benoit was on RAW, Angle was on and off the shelf with a hosed neck if I remember correctly, Chavo was Chavo, Edge wasn't really connecting as a face (and was on RAW) and there was no way Mysterio was going to be a heel world champion.

Adam Cole is one of NXT's biggest stars, assets and longest reigining champion throughout the period where NXT was directly competing with AEW. it's a really huge sign that WWE is just completely failing to the wider public Nah, I'd say it's more along the lines of Sean Waltman or Chris Jericho leaving WCW for WWF during the Attitude Era. Neither were Hogan or Savage level big name departures, but ended up being pivotal defections more for what they represented. Christ, it's like TERFs and their one joke.
