I've been hearing a lot of rumors about Mr. Nerfect being a racist xenophobe. While we've had an adversarial relationship in the past, I simply refuse to believe them.

So what if Tony Khan and Mustafa Ali are both proud Americans of Pakistani decent? Two countries Nerfect has prejudice against. It's simply not true.

RP 02-12-2022 07:32 PM

Could Ali buy a ticket and sit front row at a AEW show?

Mr. Nerfect 02-12-2022 07:41 PM

I am sure Nerfect approved of Keith Lee versus Isaiah Kassidy from this week’s episode of Dynamite. Two amazing African American athletes just putting on a quality squash match.

* Horrible music for Keith Lee.

* AEW fans are not people you want to share a train cab with.

* Keith Lee pulls faces like a child who didn’t successfully bake the cookies, but mom said she was proud of him for trying.

* Justin Roberts is way too labored.

* Horrible music for Keith Lee.

* Crowd chanting something obnoxious. Makes you realize they’re all mouth-breathers and this place isn’t sold out.

* Keith Lee taking his jacket off and looking so smug about looking like total shit got a laugh out of me.

* Isiah Kassidy launched himself in that opening spot.

* JR doing his best on commentary, kind of has to pad time by saying “it feels good” as Keith Lee does his second or third of about eight kneeling poses.

* Holy shit, Lee almost got stuck under the bottom rope. :lol:

* These spots don’t even look good. The slingshot crossbody looked like real effort.

* He’s blown up.

* HATE Matt Hardy. The guy has become unbearable.

* This is fucking boring. He’s trying to do a squash match, which is the sort of shit they wanted to do with him in the WWE and he couldn’t pull off.

* Keith Lee can’t really roll out of the ring. I’m worried about his heart condition.

* Something fucking sucked with the editing when he caught Kassidy off the unnecessary dive after the unnecessary post-match attack.

* The catch of Marc Quen was cool. That’s about the only thing so far. The powerbomb onto Kassidy looked sloppy as shit though.

Verdict: Fucking awful. Keith Lee is not a star, and I don’t think this run is going to be sustainable. He looks like someone that was released from the WWE due to health issues.

Ut-oh!

This is nothing but a coincidence.

Does anyone believe that any “territory” is filling up one stadium, let alone one twice on back-to-back nights? Lol if this ends up being the most profitable Mania ever, by the way.

Let's just say capacity crowd is 100,000, and WWE only sells 65,000 to each night. That means only 130,000 total. Such a negative!! Why cant WWE be as successful as AEW and sell 9000 tickets instead???

I'm reading that Meltzer was discussing Cody's contract situation. It's been over a month since his AEW contract expired and now people are saying that he may be WWE bound. I think his TV contracts to Warner could complicate things.

I think there could be truth to this, I can imagine Cody feeling stifled in AEW since it does seem that he was a big creative voice at the beginning but perhaps not so much now? Is he such a mark that the AEW fans booing him actually pushing him away from AEW? I can see it.

If Cody did go back to WWE, what a fool he would be. But wow what a story that would be too. Devastating to AEW, boy that would really fuel the fire for this war.

Randy's younger brother Nathan. I've never heard of him until now, I'm watching the local news here in the NYC/NJ area and Nathan Orton is advertised for an interview to promote a comedy show at Caroline's, one of the biggest NYC clubs. Randy has a younger brother who is also ripped and good looking, but is not keen on wrestling. He said he wrestled in high school because he figured that he should but wasn't very good and thought that he probably shouldn't do this on TV. He suffers from hip dysplasia, a common health issues in dogs (lol) and after surgery he found comedy and off to the races from there. Seems like he's having some success and is pretty funny so I thought I'd link you guys if you are interested.

Setting aside the irrelevant comparison to AEW…

You don’t book a 100,000 seater stadium in the hope that you fill it 2/3s full. That’s just basic business sense and optics. This is a company that inflate their attendance regardless of how good it is. Now, they could claim a bomb scare and move to a smaller venue…

There’s a lot to this beyond the product being flat (it is). They’d have booked the venue 3 years ago (I think), didn’t they have to shuffle things around due to covid? Wasn’t 37 supposed to be in Texas? Mania benefits from an international audience which will still be impacted by official restrictions on travel and/or a malaise to international travel - there’s a group of people that don’t fancy the hassle or sitting in a tube of other people’s breath.

There will also be a contingent of people just waiting; what does travel look like? What are infection levels? What’s the card(s) going to look like? Is Austin Theory going to main event?

Some people will point to trying to get Austin on the card as a desperation move, I think it’s most likely been in the works for a while; they’re not just going to give Austin 2 months to get ready after 20 years out of the ring.

Austin’s likely been prepping for a return since about 2018 — when the giant TV and Saudi deals were announced. It doesn’t mean it was necessarily a given, but that’s when you saw Austin take a bump for Becky Lynch in that thing they did together.

WWE are just going to add the two nights together and call it a new WrestleMania record.

Evil Vito 02-16-2022 10:00 AM

NXT Takeover Stand & Deliver booked for Saturday morning the day of WrestleMania, 11 AM local start time/12 PM Eastern.

So that's a 2.5-3 hour show, a couple hour break in between to eat/recover/get to the stadium and then Mania.

I'd say this will hurt the indies running on Saturday but Mania's attendance capacity is way higher than Takeover's, probably still gonna be a lot of people opting to do indy shows ahead of Mania.

Bad News Gertner 02-16-2022 10:06 AM

So what's this new NXT Level Up show? Is it a show for wrestlers not ready for the main NXT show? If so, that's a great idea and long overdue.

It's kind of redundant. The whole point of NXT 2.0 was to turn it back into a development promotion for people not ready for the main roster. As a result the majority of the roster is green as grass.

Not sure why you need a show with people who are even more green then that.

Mr. Nerfect 02-16-2022 02:18 PM

I’m interested to see how NXT 2.0 does if/when some of their top acts cross over onto the main roster. A big disconnect and obstacle for NXT in the past was the lack of consistency between presentations.

Episode one was filmed before this week’s NXT. Featured Harland, Ivy Nile, Edris Enofe, Kushida and a few lesser know names. McGuiness on commentary.

I've always thought one show would be a "finishing school". Something you graduate to before the main roster. And you have your other show with freshly trained wrestlers, mixed in with established vets. Scott 2 Hotty would have been perfect for this. Someone who's been around but can still go. Gangrel would be another guy I'd pick. Brian Kendrick before he went all Nazi. Or wrestlers who aren't being used on the main roster/working back from injury.

I think Meltzer’s lost a lot of his sources. I’ve defended his reporting in the past, but it has lost of a lot of its meat since AEW has come around. I think his clear bias towards AEW has shut a few WWE doors (because who wants to break their necks for a guy who is going to overlook everything they do?) and AEW treats him as too much of a fan. He seems to discover stuff in real time like everyone else.

His criticism is just ridiculous at this point. And he’ll go to these weird places to defend things that even the most ardent AEW supporter will roll their eyes at. Just a random example: Comparing Marko Stunt to Rey Mysterio because they are both small, comparing Kenny Omega to Harley Race because they both did “too much” or comparing Will Ospreay to Terry Funk because he thinks they’re both great heels.

Honestly, I think it might have something to do with the Omega/Ospreay stuff. Omega seemed to get his feelings legitimately ruffled by Ospreay’s praise. It could have been a “I still love you” move from Dave.

Either that or he is just looking for the Cornette boost or he has actually lost his mind. The way Cornette spoke about him having a a breakdown sounded like it was supposed to skin, as opposed to just being an abstract criticism of the guy, and that’s the first time I noticed Corny do that.

I've gone out of my way to watch the last three episodes of NXT 2.0, not live but on demand on Peacock. I really wanted to give them another shot because the quality of talent they have while new is very intriguing to me. Lot's of big young guys that are quite athletic.

Some really good characters like Imperium and Bron, some with characters I don't care for but that connect well with the NXT audience. However there is so much bad writing and "scene work" going on it makes you confused as to what you're watching.

I remember sometimes people would say WWF was like a "soap opera for men", well with that in mind I'd say NXT is like "a soap opera for kids". It's really juvenile and you can tell the audience is way too comfortable there. They know they are a valuable part of the show and it looks odd. I think NXT would look really good if they toured to unique venues for example something like "Mall of America or WCW's Panama spot". I think they should tour with efficiency in mind, not renting out big time venues, but make it unique. Not saying they should do this exactly but once NJPW did an outdoor show in some giant parking lot outside of a factory and the look of the show was so cool and unique. It rained too so it looked totally cool.

Anyway, Bron Breakker is awesome and should be a top 3 guys on the roster when he hits his heights. I don't think you can say someone is "destined to be the guy", you can tell he's got a chance though.

Please let it be Austin vs. Goldberg and not Austin vs. Owens. I have a feeling it might be the KO match though. Sigh.

This could have been the possible WrestleMania card:

* Austin vs. Goldberg
* Roman vs. Brock
* Charlotte vs. Ronda
* Becky vs. Bianca
* AJ vs. HBK
* Drew & Taker vs. Corbin & Moss
* Edge vs. Theory
* RKBro vs. Seth & KO
* Seth vs. Bobby Lashley (Seth wrestles both nights)
* Kofi vs. Big E
* Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor
* Cody vs. Miz
* Cesaro vs. Sheamus
* Zayn vs. Knoxville
* The Usos vs. Nakamura & Boogs
* Booker T, Profits, Mysterios vs. Angle, Alpha & Dirty Dawgs
* Sasha vs. Bayley
* Zelina & Carmella vs. Rhea & Lita
* Sonya, Shayna, Shotzi & Nattie vs. Naomi, Aliyah, Xia Li & Asuka
* Liv Morgan vs. Alexa Bliss
* Battle Royals

Pretty epic fucking Mania.

If HBK, Taker, Booker & Angle aren’t wrestling, you can just drop Book and Angle from the tag, have Bron Breakker be Drew’s partner, and do Styles vs. Balor with Priest defending the US Title against Lashley.

Morgan/Bliss, the women’s Battle Royal and one of the women’s tags would be Kickoff. Maybe Priest and Balor too, but not Priest and Lashley.

* AEW fans are not people you want to share a train cab with.

* Keith Lee pulls faces like a child who didn’t successfully bake the cookies, but mom said she was proud of him for trying.

* Justin Roberts is way too labored.

* Horrible music for Keith Lee.

* Crowd chanting something obnoxious. Makes you realize they’re all mouth-breathers and this place isn’t sold out.

* Keith Lee taking his jacket off and looking so smug about looking like total shit got a laugh out of me.

* Isiah Kassidy launched himself in that opening spot.

* JR doing his best on commentary, kind of has to pad time by saying “it feels good” as Keith Lee does his second or third of about eight kneeling poses.

* Holy shit, Lee almost got stuck under the bottom rope. :lol:

* These spots don’t even look good. The slingshot crossbody looked like real effort.

* He’s blown up.

* HATE Matt Hardy. The guy has become unbearable.

* This is fucking boring. He’s trying to do a squash match, which is the sort of shit they wanted to do with him in the WWE and he couldn’t pull off.

* Keith Lee can’t really roll out of the ring. I’m worried about his heart condition.

* Something fucking sucked with the editing when he caught Kassidy off the unnecessary dive after the unnecessary post-match attack.

* The catch of Marc Quen was cool. That’s about the only thing so far. The powerbomb onto Kassidy looked sloppy as shit though.

Verdict: Fucking awful. Keith Lee is not a star, and I don’t think this run is going to be sustainable. He looks like someone that was released from the WWE due to health issues.
