Lock Jaw 09-23-2023 01:08 AM

It was definitely intentional

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 05:49 AM

Big Show switched alignment 3 times during that match, if I recall.

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 12:33 PM

I couldn’t find the NXT thread, but I decided to watch some this week since they seem to be putting effort in. Some thoughts:

SPOILER: show

* Becky Lynch looks like she’s had some work done.

* Wrestling fans are fucking disgusting.

* Becky is kind of obnoxious on the mic.

* Hate how wrestlers all get their personalized graphics.

* Tiffany Stratton needs some polish. She should pay Nia Jax to be extra backup at No Mercy against Becky and then Becky should bring Jade Cargill in.

* The Family’s shtick seems so antiquated. I hate how that shit is filmed. Just be people. I was reading that Stacks, or whatever they call him, was trained by Tom Prichard. They’ve probably got a future, just ease up on the stereotype. Los Lotharios being in NXT is a good thing.

* Trick Williams can talk. He and Dominik were a cut above everyone else on this show so far.

* Noam Dar is doing a Matrix thing and I’ve got no fucking clue why. That movie is almost 25 years old. Unless they are going to WBD. One of the women with Noam has a good look even in the obnoxious gimmick.

* Butch and Tyler Bate was a bit goofy for what I imagined them doing, but some good stuff. Hope this leads to Butch winning the Heritage Cup and The Brawling Brutes backing him up against Gallus.


After this I had to take a break. It wasn’t horrible, but the “acting” on the show is so bad. Everyone is green, but that’s kind of a problem. They really need to dial back on some of these gimmicks too. Makes it way harder to care about the ring stuff.

XL 09-23-2023 12:39 PM

Oh, how have Los Lotharios managed to avoid the Autumn Clean? They’re a couple more guys in NXT most likely on main roster money (even if on the low end of the scale).

Mr. Nerfect 09-23-2023 04:10 PM

WWE probably sees value in them. Young Hispanic dudes with no known attitude problems.

XL 09-24-2023 08:10 AM

Maybe they could be the “next Rey Mysterio” they’ve been looking for for the last 15 years?

Helmsphere 09-24-2023 08:30 AM

The next Rey Mysterio? Why would they want a man who is a horrible father and beats his son? If that's the case just rehire Alberto Del Rio if he isn't in prison already.

I doubt it, but Angel Garza has done some solid work. Good looking guy — pretty young. I just hope once their NXT stint is done they get unique personalities. Being Latino relatives who team together sinks a lot of wrestlers. Like The Colons.

Also: re-hire the Colons.

Re: Jey Uso's new theme

I feel "bad" missing out on the work that Christian is doing right now. Clearly the best part of AEW, but I just can't commit to watching....

Maybe if MJF and Christian swapped titles that would get me to watch, not to mention start a new boom period in wrestling.

He's a great follow for that reason. And actually has a decent sense of humor.

XL 09-29-2023 03:05 PM

Mr. Nerfect, it’s happening…

HBK on CM Punk:

“Of course, we’d welcome him here in NXT. My guess is, he would probably want to go to the main roster. I always enjoyed working with Phil. Didn’t get to do it much. I understood him. Whether you want to say there were similarities in us. I can’t lie. We were at TV, and he once pulled out his wallet, on the spot, an autograph that I had signed for him in a hotel that he still had. I’ve always liked him. I understand he’s a different kind of cat and can sometimes be challenging to get along with people, but that is probably why I like him, because I suffer from the same thing. Obviously, that’s for people to decide higher up on the food chain than I am. He’s a guy that does numbers and makes money. That would be a risk-reward ratio that from a company standpoint, they’d have to consider. When it comes to, ‘would we take him in NXT and have him on our television?’ Are you kidding me? Of course I would. I just don’t think anybody would let me. Who wouldn’t take that kind of star power? I don’t know. If I get in trouble for that, I’ll let you know.“

XL 09-29-2023 03:07 PM

Need to have the NXT locker room start being unruly and HBK can handle it so he has to bring a real Locker Room Leader.

Mr. Nerfect 09-29-2023 06:43 PM

Punk should play the gimmick Dave Meltzer made up for him. Turn NXT into a Punk branded show. Have him act like a babyface as he goes over and the internet cries. Then slowly lead people to realize he’s not the hero he wants to be presented as.

NXT Champion Punk dropping sly disses at the AEW Title and World Heavyweight Title as he smooches up to Becky and Seth gets jealous is money.

McLegend 09-30-2023 01:24 PM

Both are accidental.

The Meng one could be explained, because everything happened so fast. However with Jimmy Hart Goldberg clearly didn’t have a good grip on him, and shouldn’t have thrown him yet.

Basically I’m saying Meng is pure accident while Jimmy Hart is careless accident.

Without even looking at any of that show, my guess is that this is "hobby horse" Chavo (Pepe, was it)? Because inanimate objects are USUALLY a way of getting over pretty hot, see: Head, Moppy, Undertaker's urn, Cody's mustache, Hacksaw's 2x4, Mitch the Potted Plant.

The only person I don't remember it working for in any way was "Disqo" Inferno when he had the duck, his "visual aid". Nobody gave a shit.

Ah yeah, seems about right. 5 used to be the magic number for Takeover shows, so I might be conflating that. They can always throw out something else for the card if they haven’t already.

As for the lack of straight one-on-one matches: Eh, with so few matches, I can see it being totally accidental. But maybe their thinking is to really emphasize the Rollins/Nakamura match?

Apparently NWA is bringing back the territory structure.

Quote:

NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE EMBARKS ON HISTORIC TERRITORY SYSTEM REVIVAL UNDER LEADERSHIP OF PRESIDENT WILLIAM PATRICK CORGAN

• The first affiliate territory for the Lightning One era is NWA Exodus Pro Midwest

• Territory is lead by NWA World's Heavyweight Champion EC3

• More territories are being explored domestically and internationally

CLEVELAND, OH - In a move marking a pivotal moment in the history of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), President William Patrick Corgan has announced the revival of the promotion's territorial system, a cherished tradition for the NWA, which harkens back to the roots of professional wrestling and the alliance's formation 75 years ago. The move is aimed at fostering collaboration, unity and the development of future wrestling stars. The inaugural affiliate territory to join this initiative is NWA Exodus Pro Midwest, under the stewardship of none other than the NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, EC3.

In a statement reflecting the essence of this moment, Billy Corgan remarked, "We are returning to the collaboration that defined the NWA, embracing a model that not only honors our rich history but also propels us into a future of young stars. This initial undertaking with NWA Exodus Pro, as well as all our affiliate promotions to come, will play a pivotal role in who appears on NWA television in the future, as well as affording those affiliate promotions consistent access to all the top NWA champions and superstars."

NWA Exodus Pro Midwest, led by the illustrious NWA World's Heavyweight Champion EC3, will see its Men's Heavyweight Championship officially recognized by the NWA-a testament to the gravity of this new chapter in NWA history. This collaboration not only signifies a mutual partnership but also symbolizes a shared commitment to the growth and evolution of professional wrestling. EC3 expressed his excitement, stating, "I am honored to lead NWA Exodus Pro Midwest into this new chapter. I've long sought a way to create a platform of opportunity for up and coming talent to "tell their story." With the WPC and the NWA, I have the right partner and wrestling's most important legacy. To have the NWA's brand, create shows, and cultivate talent, especially in the Midwest region, is something I'm incredibly passionate about. Together, we will pave the way for a future that respects the traditions of the past while pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Dare I say, we can "control the narrative."

The inaugural celebration of this historic affiliation will be marked by "NWA Presents: Samhain" on October 28, 2023, hosted at Temple Live in Cleveland. Fans can secure their tickets and pay-per-view access by visiting NWATix.com and Fite.TV.


Up next for the promotion is NWA Samhain. The event will take place in EC3's hometown of Cleveland, where he will be running the NWA Exodus Pro Midwest promotion. The lineup for the show is below.

NWA Samhain on October 28, 2023 lineup:

NWA World Women's Tag Team Champions Pretty Empowered (Ella Envy & Kylie Paige) defend against Taylor Rising & Natalia Markova
NWA World Tag Team Championship Blunt Force Trauma (Damage & Carnage) w/Aron Stevens defend against Mike Knox & Trevor Murdoch in a Medieval Knights of The Round Tables Tables match
NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion Colby Corino defends against Joe Alonzo

What a great way for young talent to learn their craft in a variety of ways and gain vital experience before it's beaten out of them in the Performance Center.

Total Divas Return - Phyllis Brooks & Jackson Perry
 
Quote:

Fans of the long-running “reality” program Total Divas are abuzz today after the announcement that the series will return starring two of the biggest divas in wrestling today, CM Punk and Jack Perry.

Sparks will fly when these two feisty hellcats are forced to co-exist in Divas Mansion, followed 24-7 by cameras, alongside some of wrestling’s other biggest Divas.

Punk and Perry, who scratched and hair-pulled during a highly publicized catfight backstage at a recent AEW event, will be joined the program by Divas including:

Shawn Michaels, the 67-year-old bushman who still calls himself The Heartbreak Kid with a straight face
Ryback, a voracious eater with a quirky personality
Low-Ki, a deep-voiced Diva nicknamed Hi-Maintenance
Hulk Hogan, a self-described former bassist for U2
Longtime fans of Total Divas should expect the upcoming season to be just as insufferable as they’ve come to expect.

May have been true at one point, but now people actually get better at the Performance Center. Look at Julius Creed for example. Dude wrestles like Kenny Omega on crack, but somehow tries to make it make sense. Wrestling outside WWE isn’t very good.

Always wondered how Bret would have been in that. I was a big Bret fan but even as a youngling I thought that was the weirdest thing ever and that he was probably just weird and awkward in it

Drave, you add basically nothing to any conversation.

I wasn't wrong, you're just mad and chose to reply.

I can't find it but apparently they have a replay of it on the 16-12-1999 episode of smackdown.

After 11 years (from this previous post) I finally find this chairshot again (@14:35)

Wish Bret Hart could still go in 2000/2001 so we could have gotten Bret Hart vs. Stevie Richards at Mania 17.

I'd ask why the referee is assisting in this stupidity, but who really fucking cares?

Mr. Nerfect 10-14-2023 04:14 PM

You have to love spots the wrestlers come up with, but they don’t actually know how to pull them off, so they just say “fuck it” and get the referee to help.

Logan Paul’s fight against Dillon Danis was apparently a farce in Logan’s favor. After the fight he…

SPOILER: show
Called out Rey Mysterio for the US Title. Looks like that will happen at Crown Jewel.
