"Look Kassius, you've been doing OK work or whatever, but we're going to need you to not look so much like you currently do"

I don't really "get" Adam Cole either. I've seen enough of him in ROH for a solid sample size, and he's always just been "meh". He's a good promo, I'll give him that. But he looks like someone's little sister, and I really haven't been impressed with too much of him in the ring. What am I missing? I WANT to like him. Seems like it would be fun.

Enzo is kinda crushing on 205 Live right now. Good on him. :y:
|
Had a dream last night where I saw enzo and found out he set the cruiser weight title on fire in his hotel room. I wanted to break the story but my Instagram wasn't working.

I guess we can all expect to see a Paige title run around the time the move is released then.

WWE's biggest mistake was trying to force her away from Del Rio when the relationship was still relatively new which just ended up making her more committed to Del Rio instead. |

I really like the dude, for some reason, but I agree that it's not really there. It never was before -- something was just "off" about the entire act. They've found the perfect role for him, and as a surprisingly good wrestler who looks like a piece of shit I think he could be "fun." You just have wrestlers mock him for looking like a bum and then he elbows them in the fucking head and struts away. Dolph Ziggler would be perfect for this. Well, as much as people can care about Dolph Ziggler in today's day and age. |
Ohno's got a bad thyroid issue that's plagued him for years. Makes it nigh on impossible to drop weight even if he's eating healthy and working out a ton. His conditioning in the ring is incredible so I'd never say his appearance is a result of laziness.

Anyone who watches Ring of Honor on here, your thoughts on Flip Gordon and Dalton Castle.
|
Quote:

Dalton Castle is pretty good, from what I've seen, but he's basically Chad Gable with a Rico gimmick. You just know how they would fuck that up.

Flip Gordon seems like the worst parts of "stereotypical indy" CAW (entirely too much "flippy shit" and wearing kickpads to boot). It's like Jack Evans in both his and Eminem's prime had a baby with John Cena right after filming "The Marine". His theme is gawdawful as well. It *kinda* works, given there aren't a boatload of guys that wrestle like that in ROH anymore, but it's still kinda bleh. |

Seems WWE is starting to go after more indie wrestlers and their shirt sales. Recently sent a cease and desist order to Will Ospreay for two of his shirts that parody WWE stuff.

If you asked me who was the owner and who was the wrestler in that top billed match, I would probably say Shane was the wrestler. He's probably the biggest star on the SmackDown roster. Well, it'd be between him and Orton, who doesn't appear to be on this show. |
And Daniel Bryan is still one of the most over dudes when he shows up.
|
Orton is probably facing Rusev on the undercard.
Usos and The New Day will probably light it up and have a great match. Natalya vs Charlotte could be good. In fact it could be very good, as their match in NXT was the first time I turned around and started paying attention to the women. But like Becky, her work on the main roster hasn't even come close to equaling her work in NXT. So who knows how that's gonna go. |
Yeah, Bryan is really over. I'm sure the matches will be "good." It's just really hard to give a fuck, because how are they going to be followed up? What are the stakes?

The problem burning this stuff out is that once they break, the idea of them facing off again doesn't have appeal for a long time. It works in the context of a program, because if you've been watching it, then it is enjoyable, but when the idea is teased two years from now, it will feel like "didn't they just do this?" The New Day vs. Gallows & Anderson is a great example of that. They played that out so much that when people are like "Move Gallows & Anderson to SmackDown," my first thought is "God no."
|
I think it would be better if they more often cut things short and separated certain talent by a wider margin, in order to preserve certain things that just work. It's hard to know what is going to be what on that front, but after HIAC I would definitely consider moving The Usos to RAW or something.
|
They're already scheduled for another match against each other at that Starrcade show. lol

Great Playboy Buddy Rose story.
So in the Portland territory in the 80's Brickhouse Brown was the drug supplier for all the guys in the territory. One night at Buddy Rose's apartment, there was another dealer doing Coke with Col DeBeers, and Buddy Rose much to Brickhouse's surprise. Well the Coke dealer ends up having a major heart issue from too much Coke and collapses on the floor. Buddy Rose tells him " you tell me where your Coke stash is and I'll call 911". The guy told him where his stash was and Rose called 911 lol |
Oh wow, just read about that Warrior cancer charity thing. Let's not forget about what Warrior said about Bobby Heenan when he heard Heenan had cancer.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DLQceZeXkAAYMti.jpg:large It's hilarious watching WWE try and push Warrior as this fucking saint. |
Damn, he must have really hated this Booby Heenan guy.

Didn't Warrior hate virtually everyone?

Da Meltz on why AJ Styles has only been working dark matches instead of wrestling on TV:

And if you wondered why WWE would give the Network away for free for 3 months, this is a good reason: To help speculative growth. Raw numbers of the Network YTD and international deals have helped WWEs stock price in a large way.

Damn, what a piece of shit. Good comment under the 2nd article.
Damn, when Bret Hart compares you negatively to Hulk Hogan, you've fucked up royally. |
Warrior's wife kinda seems like a fake cunt, too.
I think part of that is the fact that she was actually willingly married to Warrior and part of it is just her face/the vibe she gives off. Nothing seems genuine about her. |
Stephanie McMahon seems like the coolest WWE person ever .

Yes but think it also hurts them as well in the eyes of the courts since IP/trademark laws can be a bit weird at times.
Some courts will lean towards the ones getting sued or threatened if they feel companies are not doing an adequate job protecting their trademarks which is why certain companies like Nintendo and Disney are very active in these types of issues. OSpreay would have a tougher time contesting but Bucks have a better claim for use due to how long the WWE waited to file trademarks and enforce them. |
Yeah, but no one knows who they are, lol. Going after a kid for having a Frozen poster in their bedroom YouTube video is a bit different to someone actually trying to use the three circles to make money. I dunno, it seems like a pretty clear case of infringement to me.

Just going to through this out there:
I'd rather see John Cena challenge for the Universal Title at WrestleMania than Roman Reigns. Cena is presumably going to be there. Have him make it right up until the end of the Royal Rumble before getting tossed out by AJ Styles, who goes on to challenge Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Title. Cena still wants Brock. Heyman accepts the challenge, but Brock wants to do something to Cena that no one has ever done before: Make him quit. * Brock Lesnar (c) vs. John Cena in an I Quit Match for the Universal Championship * Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship The Shield stick together and continue to be an unstoppable force. Triple H doesn't like them being back together, and he faces them with Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens by his side. The Four Horsewomen of WWE and of MMA also collide somewhere else on the card. * The Shield vs. Triple H, Samoa Joe & Kevin Owens * The Four Horsewomen of WWE vs. The Four Horsewomen of MMA And that's WrestleMania booked. Go fuck yourselves. |
But where does The Modern Day Maharaja Jinder Mahal fit into your plans?!

Remember when WWE wanted to debut Kenzo Suzuki as the cryogenically frozen Japanese emperor Hirohito and have him do an anti-America gimmick on RAW where the major babyface were all Canadian so they briefly changed the Canadians hometowns to places in America in order to prepare them for his debut?
Then he wound up on SmackDown under his own name with his wife as a geisha, and after a few months danced instead. WWE was an odd place in 2004. |
Never heard of this, but this sounds hilarious.

Thunder and Heat are currently being delayed from being uploaded to the Network, reportedly due to the ongoing lawsuit going on with Raven who featured prominently on both shows. They don't want to upload content with him on it while it's going on.
So the next stuff that will be uploaded is apparently the original NXT series when it was a "competition" show before turning into the second coming of WWECW. |
Dammit, I was looking forward to some Stevie Night Heat.
|
There is like 3 years of heat without Raven on it.
