  1. I can see how Callis's schtick can turn some people off, but Kevin Kelly has been fine on the shows I've watched. JR only was on the one Long Beach show because it was just a direct feed from AXS so you won't have to worry about him.
  2. Nope ETA: they should really go all in on the theme and make it available only on closed circuit TV.
  3. Let's not forget that Ashley's had her own issues that have hopefully subsided since she's been in WWE.
  4. Oh for sure it's not as simple as WWE Network, but too many people are acting like signing up for NJPW World is harder than climbing Mt. Everest. Heaven forbid someone have to click an extra button or two.
  5. In my headcanon, Vince woke up one day like Ice Cube at the end of It Was a Good Day all "what the fuck am I thinking" after looking at the card.
  6. I'm guessing they'll be teasing Sami/Owens costing SD, only to have it be JJ doing the shocking (to no one) turn to cost Raw. Angle being fired as GM and coming back as old school psycho Kurt breaking ankles to get revenge fits with how they've built things so far.
  7. To be fair, all these changes are making the SS card better on paper at least. Also it's a testament to the abuse he put himself through that Ric Flair looks a million times better not that far removed from a near death experience than he did the years leading up to it. He's like one of those episodes of Intervention where they show the person in rehab after and it looks like a different person.
  8. Depending on how in depth a meet and greet we're talking about, maybe I can see justifying that kind of cost. If it's like an assembly line of handshakes and a selfie, it's probably not worth it. If you get to spend a few minutes with each guy and maybe get some merch signed or whatnot I can see it being worthwhile especially the first time in the market. It still seems that they overpriced themselves though, especially after what MoS had to say about spending power.
  9. Also (and it sucks to think of it this way) it hit me how much of a bullet WWE dodged with Reid. Clearly Hunter was trying to bend over backwards to get him signed to developmental, can you imagine if the son of Ric Flair died on their watch?
  10. (I originally posted this in the NXT thread by mistake) Also the first game show season of NXT is being uploaded now, I would imagine this is more of scratching a completionist itch than anything else, but if you were dying to relive WWE's massive hardon about showing those smarky internet fans who's boss and burying Daniel Bryan nonstop, there you go.
  11. New Japan is basically WCW in 1996 in terms of stumbling on something hot and running with it, while not being stupid like WCW was in letting it run roughshod over everyone else on the roster. The booking kind of reminds me of Vince Sr booking the WWWF, not always the most exciting but it's working for their audience and usually everything makes sense in the end.
  12. As weird as it feels to defend Jinder, I get the feeling he's going to get the blame despite this seeming like WWE misread the room big time.

  14. He looks like a normal human being? That was my takeaway, he came off as a regular guy understandibly still bitter at his dad spending his whole life drinking and whoring instead of being a dad. A lot of the children of addicts have the same look on their faces that David had, the "he's an asshole but he's my dad, whattya going to do" expression. What really struck me is how Reid was a copy of Ric in every way both good and bad. Their relationship was a very Cat's in the Cradle cautionary tale, and I think that's part of what eats Ric up about it. Like if Reid had died in a car accident or something random, it wouldn't have been any less sad but at least there would be an aspect where it was just a freak occurance. Dying the way he did just jams it home how Ric was more of a party pal than a father.
  15. If anyone believed JJ was actually his son (I know, but go with me here) it ended when he just stood there like a doofus while Hunter killed him dead.
  16. When I want to watch it on my TV, I just use the built in Edge browser on my Xbox One and it works just fine.

    NXT talk

    So first War Games, and now the first quarter of 2018 NXT will be taped at Center Stage. I guess Hunter really does want a modern day territory.
  18. I was just wondering who could possibly fil the fifth spot, how silly of me.
  19. If you had a drinking game where you took a shot every time someone said THE ORIGINAL SHIELD, youd be dead now.
  20. Wow, another Steph browbeating promo to make the captain of the Raw team look like a kid being scolded by the principal,
  21. She's been training at the PC to get back in shape, so if it's not tonight it's a matter of time until she returns. I would expect them to keep her strong since the Rock is producing the movie about her. The real test will be after the movie's out and if she hasn't had another implosion in the meantime.
  22. It's also kind of annoying how a lot of the people coming at Dave automatically dismiss anyone and anything not WWE, several times they've come at him that wrestler X or Y can't be a star in wrestling because they've never had at WWE run which is ridiculous.
  23. I was wondering, do all the agents and assorted backstage folks all make the UK tours? I could see a miscommunication happen if they have the B team running things backstage.
  24. Also there's a gif floating around twitter where it looks like the Impact logo on the TNA/IMPACT/GFW belt looks like they straight up used a bumper sticker. That's some pure uncut LOLTNA right there.
  25. Oney Lorcan says hi.
