I'm jazzed about Gulak being on NXT. Hoping he sticks around for a while. Think he's done all he can on 205 Live and it's not like they'd do anything of substance with him on Raw or SmackDown. May as well let him go to NXT and have some quality matches.

Honestly they should scrap 205 live, fold the vast majority of the talent into NXT and give them the additional time. NXT is the best product WWE puts out and I would watch more of it.

Emperor Smeat 02-09-2019 07:04 PM

Might be better to just put them back on RAW considering NXT is already too stacked with talent. Even adding more time might still not be enough to spread quality time around with Cruiser guys.

At least with RAW, they have a lot of time available and their biggest problem is filling it out with interesting content each week. At least on paper, Cruisers would be a lot more useful there than on NXT.

Seems WWE was worried CBS might consider trademarking the term "Then Now Forever" after airing the phrase during last week's Super Bowl festivities.

Even though they've been using the phrase since 2012, they only got around to trademarking it the day after the SB. Also only covers wrestling related stuff though.

There was a rumor recently about WWE starting to become very wary of their tv ratings woes and taking a lot more risks to find stuff that sticks with audiences.

If that's the case, it's totally self-fulfilling.

A couple of pages ago, it looks like an argument took place about Bugenhagen (a name I can't repeat without thinking of Final Fantasy VII) and indy neckbeards digging it and getting him over or somesuch. While it may be true that *that* might not work on a grander stage (but maybe it will... you don't know that from a single appearance), the bigger issue is NOTHING seems to work on a bigger stage for one reason or another, and a lot of those reasons are self-inflicted. In the span of that show, Bugenhagen showed his charisma, Gulak had a decent match and put him away, but not in a one-sided beatdown that made it look like he didn't belong, then cut a good promo calling out competition, which drew the attention of Matt Riddle, and led to a very good match between Gulak and RVD-lite, ending with a show of respect between the two. Later, Eric came back out and danced again, and got a pop for it.

So, you had an ok match, a damn good match, three guys showing their own brand of charisma, and all three guys coming out better on the other side of that, and got interest for people to see more of them sometime in the future.

Had something like this transpired on the main roster, Bugenhagen would be totally made to look and sound like a chump in both squash match fashion and from constant berating from the booth. Then, Gulak and Riddle would have just fought to a no-contest so they can hurry up and show Liv Tyler stretching backstage or have that one chick who asks stupid and obvious questions to some wrestler so she can point her tits to the camera . They'd announce a match in passing for Drew and Matt for 205 Live, and you'd never see or hear from any of those three again for a couple of months unless they need a jobber to feed to Bobby Lashley or something.

Main roster WWE continues to tell people through writing, booking, and actions that:

- The only people worth a damn are stars who got over maybe about ten to twenty years ago... and ironically, some of them were seen as not stars to hang their hat on to carry the company back then.

- Any new NXT callup is either only worth being a surprise Royal Rumble entrant at the least, and maybe about a month worth of hype at the most, and then all the shiny gets rubbed off of them in short order.

There is no reason why Bobby Roode should be tagging with Chad Gable outside of not knowing what to do with Gable besides tossing him into random tag teams for a majority of his time in WWE. Roode had everything to be fast tracked into being taken seriously (fast tracked, not hotshotted) and had a working gimmick, music, plus the ability in the ring and on the stick. So, what has he done? Feuded with Dolph Ziggler who shit on that. Roode didn't come out better proving he's "more than an entrance", he just fell to where almost everyone else is: a face in the crowd.

- The Women's Evolution has been distilled into all the women falling into one of two categories: gimmicks where they're badasses, or gimmicks being that they are hot.

- If getting over isn't in the plan for that person, they get derailed instead of rolling with whatever unless there is sustained pushback that actively fucks up some plan. Conversely, they will beat a horse to death, perform CPR, then beat it to death again if they want something no matter how much it clearly isn't over.

Balor was brought in as a big deal, but he got hurt, so fuck him, and it took quite a long time to finally decide to push him back up the card to where he was to begin with. Slow trigger pull on Becky. A retconned trigger pull on Bayley even though she got the "about time" pop from folks. A cynnical push for Jinder for marketing reasons, multiple failed opportunities for a heel turn for Roman to warrant the boos, finding ways to stick Charlotte Flair (one of the few NXT stars to get more than a fair shake... but gee, I wonder why) into the top spot of either women's divison even if it is at the detriment of any other talent... the list goes on.

It's almost like 80% of anything compelling on the main roster is totally accidental, like Nia being sloppy and punching Becks in the face for realsies. You couldn't make that up, and that was a short-term angle handed to them on a platter, and they still found a way to fuck that up and kill interest in seeing Nia get a reciept... and that's the other 20%; staying to see exactly how they are going to fuck up the next project.

Random question: With so much talent under contract and many of them being vocally unsatisfied with their positions and the openings to be used better, what do you think the chances are that WWE does something bizarre and drastic. Even if we’re not in the mood for even more WWE content, would it be so outlandish for WWE to announce that they are launching a third brand? Ever since the FOX deal was announced, I’ve kind of had it in the back of my mind that WWE may not be willing to give up Tuesdays.

AEW is also gaining traction. I can see Vince wanting to do his old trick of directly competing in order to block out AEW or limit their audience. When they did the Halftime Heat show recently, I think at least part of it was to gauge public interest for an NXT show. They have their Network numbers, but they keep that quiet, and it’s limited by how many possible subscribers they can reach.

With live events being quieter and all the money being in TV, and with them wanting more Network minutes, without them needing to fret about PPV buys, I’ve just been wondering about the chances of them doing something completely surreal and launching something of a semi-autonomous Tuesday brand, and actually having it be run by either Shane or Triple H, with its own production team, writing crew, agents and aesthetic, but able to use WWE trademarks and hide their specials under the safety of the Network.

Is this something that USA or FOX would care about? Would they feel it saturates their marketplace too much? Is it potentially a good idea? Is it inherently awful?

I’ve always been against WWE running any sort of “WCW One Night Stand” shows. It’s a dead brand and it never had the same “cult appeal” that an ECW had. But I read something about the WCW trademarks coming up. I doubt WWE let them go. What if Vince McMahon thought “Fuck it. I miss the days of competition and I want to give Shane something to run. I can make the XFL something, dammit, I can have my WCW the way I wanted it in 2001.”

Is it just too out of character for Vince to back a wrestling promotion he’s not going to micromanage? It was the plan at one point, and Vince loves proving that he was right all along.

WCW Wanted Buff Bagwell To Die In A Plane Crash And Become A Ghost For An Angle


Quote:


“So, I’ve wanted to ask you this forever. There was a rumor going around that Eric [Bischoff] wanted to work an angle having you “die” in a plane crash and come and interfere in a match and not smarten up the boys. Is that correct?”

“100% correct! MGM Grand was one of the last Halloween Havocs we did, and he (Eric) wanted me to die in a plane crash and so he was going to do it. I had already called my parents to get them ready for this, my wife to let them know, and then they switched it, I did some kind of a run in, I think in a Bill Clinton mask.” (If we went through with the original plan), “he wanted me to come down like a ghost, on wires, after the plane crash. Out of his mouth to me.”


I wish they did that angle!

Little bit of both really. Charlotte i is an attractive blonde with a banging body, who's absolutelya gifted athlete and also the beneficiary of nepotism. Nia Jax is getting prominent time, angles and mulligans for injuring anyone with a pulse simply based on being a direct relative of the Rock.

According to r/SquaredCircle, if the Men's Elimination Chamber match goes on last at this Sunday's show, it will be the first time since the start of the current Brand Split Era that the WWE Championship main evented a co-branded PPV.

Also if Becky Lynch competes in the real main event match at Mania 35, she will be the first non-Canadian and non-American to do so since Andre the Giant at Mania 3. The streak only breaks if its the actual last match and not WWE's stance of several matches having main event status for Mania.

I would love for Smackdown to close the show like they did at TLC. I don't believe the female performers in the tag team title chamber match are strong enough to close the show. Also, it's a bit disheartening that we do not have a clue as to what the WWE Championship or Smackdown Women's Championship matches are going to be for Wrestlemania.

"RAW Women's Championship" headlining Wrestlemania just doesn't sound right.

Mr. Nerfect 02-16-2019 05:09 AM

Got a feeling that both will main event. Does it mean what it used to, though?

Actually, in WWE’s defense and to Becky’s possible credit, it does feel like they are genuinely trying to build Mania around her. We don’t even have an inkling where anything other than Brock/Seth is going.
