I've been doing Spanish lessons on Duolingo for a while now and I didn't know if they were helping or not until I was able to follow the banter between Rey and Dom.

Funny how Santos and the LWO are being held up as positive roles for someone like Starks to strive for in WWE, when over in the WWE TV thread we all point out that the LWO has basically been booked as jobbers since they were put together. Their role has been to be cannon fodder so it doesn't look like Rey is fighting the JD by himself. As far as Ricky goes, while the size works against him he makes up for that in promo skills which is the key to getting over in WWE. He probably could hang at US/IC title level which is the most 95% of the roster can ever hope for anyway. It's clear to me that TK must have reason to believe he's good as gone since Ricky went from looking like the next big superstar of AEW to being put so far on ice he looks like Jack Torrance at the end of The Shining. Also I'm pretty sure the Pillars Tag didn't set the crowd on fire since it was pretty clear what the finish was going to be. Plus, as mentioned, Jungle Boy just doesn't come across as being as that Top Guy level yet (he would have been better served going after the TNT or International titles first to warm the fans up to the idea of him chasing a singles title).

That was kind of the last straw, the big issue was WWE cock blocked the attempted relaunch of World of Sport then used NXT UK to crush all the promotions. Places like Rev Pro survived because they have a working relationship with New Japan and could at least get their guys when all the homegrown talent was poached. Also 50k for the presale is amazing. Before this I was thinking they should have run their first big UK show in Craven Cottage since it would have cost them zero to run there, but now I see that would have been a vast undersell of their potential. I wonder what they'll max out at now. Sold more than half the soccer capacity and they haven't even announced any matches yet. I'm sure it won't be set up for the full 90k with staging and whatnot, but at this point, but once they fill out the card it should be an easy additional 20k.

DEAN was a real one. His contributions to the online wrestling world, when it was very much still in its infancy, can never be overstated. His influence goes from dorks like us all the way to the top of the #2 promotion in the US. That's a hell of a legacy.

The thing with Kenny is that Don is such a phenomenal promo it makes him look worse by comparison.

Anything that gets Papa Briscoe on TV is great in my book

I wouldn't be surprised if, considering how he was a DVDR boarder like most of us were at one point, TK reached out to his family.

Also Carmella posted a video telling her stepkids she's pregnant so that explains why she suddenly vanished.

That was the perfect way to end Indi's time in NXT

So.....no matter who wins the match, the women's tag champs are leaving. Why are we doing this?

I love that so many people get injured in NXT they made a storyline about it

Axiom vs Scrypts is the US version of a lucha match between two masked guys on their second gimmicks and it's an open secret who they are.

Yeah he took a shitty situation and turned it into gold (literally), always good to see someone get a chance like that.

Wes Lee and Drew Gulak not surprisingly had a banger

Should be interesting to see who gets put in the rotation in NXT now. Also really surprised Bron didn't get a callup, I guess they want him to have more reps being a heel since I don't know what else is left for him to do there.

I know it's not the most professional look, but I love spicy TK.

Odyssey Jones seems like way too early a callup. He was just starting out before he blew out his knee and he just came back. Dude had basically zero time to get his groove back.

wow, Cameron Grimes still exists

I bet Rey likes teaming with Zelina, since he's not the smallest one around for the first time ever.

I'd say they're legit, he's done a great job portraying himself as a spoiled little shit anyone would want to see get slapped.

Goddamn Dom is a heat magnet

Well she just started a program with Becky, so I assumed she was sticking around.

Smackdown wins the draft by selecting LA Knight (YEAH)

Have to give Cody credit, he's good at getting a feud heated up

The Brockertaker in the house!
