If Styles and Namamura got main event spots, there's no reason Omega wouldn't. He'd have more hype behind him than either of them did when they came in.

No way would he have more hype than AJ Styles......

Catching up on my rasslin. Lashley is not a v good promo guy still.

Love me some Elias, though.

I could do this in the RAW thread, but I'm gonna watch SD right after this. May as well ramble on all of it in one place.

I like how they gave Alicia Fox a 25-second hype package. A shame they couldn't show any of her crazy side. Loved that shit.

WWE: People should boo Brock because he isn't a fan of the WWE.

Also WWE: Lets make fun of Baley and AJ Lee because they have been WWE fans their whole life.

She was excellent in NXT. She seems to be able to slip enough organic skill into the job to be able to thrive in a WWE environment. Could see her becoming a fan favorite commentator, to be honest.

At some point the indies are going to hit another nasty down period and unlike previous times, its going to be a lot harder for them to recover. Last major one I think was when UFC and MMA became extremely popular.

The idea is really good in theory, but they want everyone to work the same, so it's really just a network of bland. If they actually saw it as an opportunity to produce different styles and flavors of wrestling, it could be really good. Right now, you just have "mainstream WWE" and "boutique WWE."

Ronda spiking the mic - that's the version of her I want to see all the time.

Okay, at least more often than "aw shucks I'm happy to be here" Ronda.

AJ Styles came in unannounced. They would likely bring in Omega with vignettes and hype because they want to capitalize on him. He's worse than AJ Styles, but they'll present it like the biggest deal ever.

On to SD - Randy Orton doing some yelling. Nice.

screech

08-10-2018 07:55 PM

Usually don't like Orton promos because they...take....so...long. But this one is pretty good so far.

Mainly because of the yelling.

Mr. Nerfect

08-10-2018 07:58 PM

I haven't seen any promos since 2016, really, but Orton impressed me when he came back, because he had this "I don't give a fuck" attitude about him. But not in a bad way. In a he's not going to be super-pedantic to care about the office's feelings and will make things sound the way he wants to.

Becky took a little shot at Sasha and Bayley while chatting with Charlotte.

Other people should do that. It would keep the "brand competition" going without having to do much.

Mr. Nerfect

Kind of just want Aiden English to be the babyface little buddy of Rusev forever and be a guy the heels destroy to get heat so Rusev can slaughter them for justice.

I thought you meant the general "hype" to see them in WWE by the fans, and not literally "hype packages" or whatever put out by WWE before the debut.
