Just like Karl Andersons wife.

Honestly though, Karl Anderson just has an online flirtation with his wife. There's no need for everyone to break her down physically. Jesus, he's just a dude showing his affection for the mother of his child.

The Bullet Club sucks and is delusional though, so there's that.

How does Karl Anderson work in a singles environment? I hate the Anderson/Gallows team. Is there any hope for Anderson as a singles guy?

Gallows and Anderson need to reprise their Tex Ferguson and Chadd 2 Badd personas.

Chadd 2 Badd sounds like money.

His dog ate it.

I was jk

Anderson is a fantastic singles worker, yes. That said, I agree with Vito. Tex Ferguson and Chad 2 Badd wojld get over like crazy.

The Good Brothers vs. The Fashion Police. Book it.

I know.

Given how much the WWE spent on Gallows & Anderson, do you think they are happy with their investment? Gallows is apparently a good presence to have backstage, and Karl Anderson is tight with the head coach in developmental. Do you see them continued to be used as main roster on-air personalities in their current form, or do you see changes for them?

Wwe chose not to really do anything with them so i dunno if they can complain about anything.

Seems American Alphas are done as a tag team at least for the near future. Chad Gable admitted his singles run is because they have nothing to do as a team and Jason Jordan is going to have his own solo run soon.

Was from a recent Smackdown Fallout video after last night's show.
http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/...youtube-video/

Been having pretty major home Internet issues, so unfortunately wasn't able to put up a #NXT400 discussion thread as I had planned, but I'm going to try and get caught up ASAP and offer my thoughts when possible.

^ Posted that by accident in the wrestling news thread when I'd meant to post it here. I don't think I'll touch on the backstage promos and the retrospectives of Asuka/Cross LWS Match for the NXT Women's Championship or the DIY break-up/Ciampa heel turn/Gargano return announcement, but I will say, in the two interview segments backstage with the NXT female superstars, what's with them all wearing generic WWE logo shirts instead of their usual mercy/gear?

Anyway, besides all of that there were 2 matches. First up: Ohno/Itami v. Killian Dayne and Wolf (forgot his first name) of SAnitY. Pretty quick match, not a lot of spots but the overarching story of "what's going on between Itami and Ohno?" was played up pretty well, with Ohno not being in position to be tagged to Itami refusing to tag Ohno when he WAS ready to Ohno confronting Itami in-ring about the communication problems. End comes when Itami hits Wolf with a Go 2 Sleep without realizing Daynr had tagged in in the corner, Dayne hits a crossbody for the win.

I don't know why a big guy like Dayne has a running crossbody for a finisher. Ideally I'd like to see him have something stronger, but a decent finish to a solid quick match. ***/*****.

Main Event time as Roderick Strong after a nice promo video package on him plays faces The Glorious One Bobby Roode for the NXT Championship. Great back and forth action, with Strong's mom and fiancée/wife looking on and cheering him on in the front row. A lot of both men trying to find each others weaknesses and pick each other apart. Not the most physical match I've ever seen but both men clearly giving it their all, a bunch of near falls on both sides, and then Strong nails his finisher, and you think he's got it in the basg as the ref counts 3...but then looks up to see that Roode had a foot under the rope. Ring announcer starts to announce Strong as the winner and NEW NXT Champion, but the ref says no, waves off the decision while Strong and his family celebrate ringside, thinking he's the NXT Champion before the ref runs over and explains no, Roode had his foot under the rope, the match will go on. Roode hits a quick move to lay out Strong, followed by the Glorious DDT on the outside after playing possum for some reason in the ring, both men go back inside and Roode finds the Glorious DDT once more, this time for the 3 and Roode is still your NXT Champion.

Pretty fun match overall...I found it more humorous than perhaps I should have at Strong's fiancée/wife's facial reactions when they'd pan to her and her screaming "YOU'RE A CHEATER!" @ Roode a few times after the outside Glorious DDT, but both men really giving it their all, and a kind of touching moment as Strong's mom and fiancée/wife console him as Roode celebrated post-match. **** 1/2/*****.

Overall, I'd rate tonight's show a solid C+/B-.

Lol

Not sure splitting Alpha is a good call.....

Who needs a tag division anyway? Fuck em all.

That sounds less like Alpha breaking up and more that they're staying friends and just going after singles titles for the time being. No reason they can't jump back into the tag title picture once the Usos/New Day feud is over with.

I actually think that sort of stuff could build depth in the division over time. It doesn't have to be that if you're in a tag team you always have to work tag matches or have your tag partner at ringside.

True Story of how the WWF got Randy Savage.

Randy was working Memphis at the time and didn't have a phone. To supplement his income, Randy sold AmWay products. So the WWF had Jimmy Hart call the Memphis T.V station where they filmed their studio show since Jimmy also used to work there and asked the person on the phone if there's anyone there who happens to sell AmWay. And that's how they got Randy on the phone. The rest is history

Interesting approach

True Story of how the WWF got Jake The Snake.

Jake was working Georgia at the time and didn't have any crack. To supplement his crack addiction, Jake wrestled. So the WWF had Jimmy Hart call the Georgia T.V station where they filmed their studio show since Jimmy also used to work there and asked the person on the phone if there's anyone there who wanted to buy crack. And that's how they got Jake on the phone. The rest is history

WTF lmao!

My parents dragged me state to state to attend AmWay seminars, it is borderline Scientology. Anyone else ever join or know of the cult?

I kinda think Savior is full of shit in that post about Jake Roberts

O really?

My friend was a part of it and I use to buy car shampoo from him. I think I was his only customer.

How Christian af was he?

Yeah not an official split but for the time being Smackdown loses a team. Unlike RAW, Smackdown has depth to not be an issue now but also run the risk of Alphas becoming like Cass/Enzo if Vince gets too happy over a singles run.

Very.

One day another brainwashed and sheltered kid will receive a powerslam so hard they will be free of their shackles and Bible Camp trophies. That powerslam will be provided by me of course.

J.J Dillon's podcast on MLW is amazing. His Jim Barnett one was extremely interesting.

That's the most depressing shit I've ever seen lol

rofl that Kane. Omg. I actually want to see this. Is it coming to Indy?

Oh shit, I didn't realize he had one. I'm definitely going to check it out.

Maybe. I kind of feel like they were put in positions to be entertaining, but the WWE didn't really know what they had with them.

As far as Alpha goes:

I'd prefer it if they were kept together as a team with some focus, but since they don't focus on teams, it will probably endear them more to WWE audiences to be split up and develop on their own. They can always team again with their more established personalities later on.

Now that is fucking awesome lol.

My parents did for awhile when I was around elementary/jr high age. Seemed all the truly successful sellers were the ones using it as secondary income or a subsidiary (of sorts) to other work (like supplying yourown restaurants with food, cookware, and cleaning supplies nearly exclusively from yourself).

Still a big fan of that clothes detergent, though.

GWC kicks off the Kincaid cup with one heck of a match as the legendary beast of the backyard, John Forge takes on the wild wicked demon himself, Darkside!

Really good wrestling from these two heavyweights!

Oh god, imagine if the WWE brings in Dixie Carter as an on-air character to feud with Kurt?

Primo Colon is apparently out with a knee injury and is scheduled to get surgery. I think this is a good opportunity to repackage Epico into something that might mean more than simply being "the one that isn't Primo." Let him use his real name and cut some promos. The Colons are naturally pretty confident people, so if given some time, it may get some lower-card traction.

"Puerto Rican Royalty" Orlando Colon could very easily become a segment-filler on SmackDown each week. At least try something with him, because there's talent there, they just have never really bothered to plug into it.

Check this out : KINCAID CUP✨ Darkside vs. John Forge! Amazing wrestling action.

Two classic big men in one heck of a fight - what more can a wrestling fan ask for?

John Forge looks like Kris P.

Haven't checked yet on show details but WWE currently has a new US champion according to PWI.

Holy fuck, Tommy Dreamer's Tales From the Indies segments on the Edge and Christian podcast are some of the funniest things I've heard

Agreed. Easily one of my favorite wrestling related podcasts. Love it when Edge and Christian have a go at each other.

A bit saddened by the departure of Austin Aries. I hope he figures things out.

A Double vs Bullet Club in ROH.

Considering that Aries spent the majority of his main roster time on the shelf, not really sure what he was expecting in terms of his position. Some of these indy guys come in and if they're not main-eventing PPV's after three months they feel like they're being misused.

Aw well.

To be fair, Aries has more than just indy guy work rate. He's got charisma and a personality thats great for mainstream wrestling.

Topanga apparently enjoys Bingo halls.

She looks like she's being forced to be there though

Topanga looks like she's been smelling the stench of the 50 neckbeards in attendance.

I didn't realise you were booked

lol Gertner= king of the neckbeards. But he's an abusive ruler.

Finally looked past Topanga to the rassler beside her...... does the dude have a whole book tattooed on his abs? Geez......

Feel like that would go well with Samoa Joe's cousin yelling "BITCH!"

WWE recently signed Lio Rush to a deal. Rush had hinted for a while about wanting to go to the WWE because of 205 Live and their Cruiser division.


Meanwhile NJPW is considering signing Matt Riddle to a deal after sending a scout to Revolution Pro Wrestling.

ALBERTO AND PAIGE UPDATE: Alberto was detained at Orlando airport for domestic violence battery. Hooray!

Jesus what a shit show. Its like an ongoing jerry springer episode.

What's this Xavier Woods rap battle burn I keep seeing pop up on Facebook? I watched the "unedited" video or whatever... I don't get it. Obviously some kinda inside reference I'm missing. Someone please fill me in.

Part of Paige's sex tape was her riding the fuck out of Woods while Brad Maddox filmed.

The first two and a half years of WWECW have been uploaded to the WWE Network, going through to March 2009.

Paige about the domestic:

Honestly, that probably wouldn't go under domestic violence battery, much like Alberto wasn't stabbed by a homeless dude. So let's wait for the truth.

"Please leave us alone."

I think most people are TRYING to. The chaos/drama between those two just always seems to find them of all people but nobody else.

Again, I ask someone adds a matador's cape to this.

I'll pay you.

... uh... in rep, I mean. S'all I got. Well, rep and gratitude.
