I think he's talking about your Manzerman type of fan.

Better booking so that they can get over, instead of being put in shitty situations. That's a problem for everyone on the main roster. Even the one's who are over are actually over in ways that don't really fit their roles the way they should: New Day aren't stooging heels, Sasha Banks isn't "The Boss", John Cena isn't the ultimate babyface.

JvK reviews pimped matches from late 90s-10s
donsem43 replied to JerryvonKramer's topic in Megathread archive
Have you watched the first 2 matches vs. Sami Zayn in NXT. The first one especially since its worked as a near squash with him rolling through all of his offense in as nasty a fashion as possible. His work looks very Brock-like but he definitely lacks that aura that Brock has. -
They bombed going long last week, so what did you expect this week?
-
Any tag with Mimi Hagiwara on one side and Devil Masami on the other. I don't think a singles match ever showed up anywhere (Classic, Lorefice's, & Ginnetty's tapes.)
-
I'm more shocked they hired a woman with that many tattoos then that they hired a racist. Tattoos don't seem to be a Vince thing. I don't think I'll ever stop being baffled by people who post insulting, insensitive stuff up on social media and then have that cost them his/her job.
-
About the only thing you can realistically expect from Triple H is a smoother transition for talent from NXT to the main roster. Anything other than that is expecting too much. Wasn't Stephanie the one who pushed to get TV writers in the first place. Anyway, after listening Paige on Austin's podcast I went and watch some of her NXT matches again. Holy crap, what the hell happen to her? In NXT she looked like the strong face that they need going forward. She wasn't a potential best in the world like Sasha but still looked really good in ring while playing up her character, which for anyone in the WWE, is going to make you stand out.

Couldn't they just use house show matches to the same effect. While they can't redo their screwups they get the benefit of seeing how a live crowd would react.
-
Wow, I'm with the women here. Screw that crowd, those comatose '97 JWP crowds were better. Paige should have just grab a chinlock until they called for the finish and just let Fox roll her up, then everyone just walk to the back ignoring the crowd. Not even '93 Hokuto had ****+ match every show, people need to be more reasonable with their expectations or go back to their piss breaks.

I'd say she's arguably been the best woman in the world since 2010. Only other candidates are Meiko Satomura and Arisa Nakajima. She has scaled back her matwork lately but I hope she keeps it because the better WWE women's matches are usually fairly matbased. She's also pretty great at working with young, inexperienced workers. Always seems to know how much to give to make her opponent look good while keeping herself look strong. That's what makes her a surprisingly great fit for the WWE wrestling-wise.

This has to be the most "outside the box" signing, while still having a good chance of working, that WWE has ever made. Granted, I could see her getting in a fight with the hair/wardrobe people and being fired in a few weeks. The timing works to because if this was a couple of years ago it would have been Kaientai all over again. Matches: vs. Serena in Smash a little less than a year after Serena got fired - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axz3vYxvdl8 vs. Ayumi Kurihara, they beat the hell out of each other - https://youtu.be/AbMu_mfN1NA vs. Arisa Nakajima, JWP title match & debut of the zombie clown look - https://youtu.be/y_gvPHm99rY vs. Carlos Amano, pretty sure this is the one S.L.L. was looking for - http://dai.ly/x16v1w0 vs. Syuri, First match they had together. It's off an idol video so be warned - https://youtu.be/VcFVSw68_UE?t=6m36s
-
They should have cut away and shown a SummerSlam hype package and kept that moment for Youtube. It was a great moment but it should not have been part of the show proper. Although in the future, with HHH in charge, stuff like this will be the norm when the situation calls for it.
-
In case anyone is wondering if she can work "WWE Style": Kana vs Serena in Smash a little over a year after Serena was fired - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axz3vYxvdl8
-
Or Sara del Ray has built up a lot of political pull with him. No way this happens without her.
-
From S.L.L. at Segunda Caida: "Kana should be NXT's next hire as a dual worker/producer. I wanna see the weird shit she and Jimmy Jacobs come up with together."
-
Wow. And they announced a lot of dates yesterday on the ROH show to prove that relationship is stronger than ever. Very interesting indeed. If you were New Japan, wouldn't you want to send your young guys to the performance center.
-
Well, her last show before taking a "sabbatical" is Sept 15. She didn't say why she was taking a "sabbatical" so if they showed her on TV, (Don't have the network so didn't watch) it's natural to assume that she's signed. There's no reason to show her because she's nowhere near the name of someone like Liger.
-
From what I've seen, he definitely cares and is trying. He just looks like he's trying to recreate 2004 but his body is clearly saying its 2015. It's surprising that after his debut that the crowd quickly started seeing him as just another guy.
-
People are sleeping on Devil Masami. She didn't have the long break that every other 80's joshi worker has so I'd say she rung up at least a 13-14 year run of being at least a pretty good worker. I hope anyone thinking of voting for Chigusa because of the Dump feud checkout the post-Dump stuff. The All-Pac title matches Leilani Kai and Tateno, the '86 GP final and '87 title win over Ohmori, and all the stuff with Lioness should definitely move her up people's ballots.
-
The '04 G1 final with Tenzan, 12/10/06 title match with Nakamura, '06/'07 stuff with Nagata, and the '08 All Japan Carny run were all pretty good if not great.
-
I'm not a big fan of either of them, but you have to put Balor and Bayley over. They're over enough with the fanbase that they both deserve a chance to have a run as champs. Both Owens and Banks are starting to get the college kids hanging around high school vibe so everybody would be better off to move on at this point. While it's not P.C. nowadays, the tag title match really needs the put manager/valet in cage gimmick. I don't think every tag team needs a woman with them, and the WWE needs to mix in some different gimmicks. Joe vs. Corbin is pretty important for both guys careers. Can Corbin make the next step? Can Joe make a star in NXT? What happens if the match falls flat?
-
Shouldn't Stardust and King Barrett be feuding with Adam West and Burt Ward?
-
Is there an easier rumor to start than Kevin Dunn told 'x' person to say 'y' thing about 'z' NXT person? I'm happy that they found something for Summer Rae to do? I thought she was really good at promos/back stage stuff in NXT. Btw, how did they explain Rusev going from being Russian to Bulgarian?
-
They've been booked as tweeners since the beginning of the angle. Faces vs B.A.D., heels vs whatever the other 3 are called this week. honestly a huge portion of the roster needs to be allowed to wear street clothes regularly. forcing everyone to wear their own merch makes everyone look lame and stifles individual personality so much. Well if your not getting a push because your merch isn't selling, then you might as well. I do get a kick out of Ryback wearing his own merch. I'd be disappointed if I order his shirt and it wasn't a overstretched musleshirt. That's false advertising.
-
Forget what's going to happen on the main roster, just imagine what that NXT crowd is going to be like when she beats Bayley for the Women's title.
