Carmelo Hayes vs Odyssey Jones is the type of thing NXT should be doing more often. Those dudes are part of the future, promote them more.

Man, KOR is really a dork, huh?

Valentina Feroz representing Brazil. Good that people were chanting for her as well as Kay Lee Ray, but she is very green. But hey, she got TV time!!

Kayden Carter is pretty darn good, not gonna lie. I thought Kacy was going to be more appealing to the crowd by this point, but alas.

DB was huge in WWE too tho. Yes chants crossed over into other sports, even. They just did everything they could with him, or at least the most their creative vices allowed them to. That vegan heel run is still one of the greatest things they've done this century, and him putting over Kofi at WM is one of the all-time great moments. He got his Memphis-like brawl with Miz. He got a heel run. He got a hero's return after a seemingly career-ending injury. DB's case is not as much as him being misused, but the pieces around him surely were. You have him wrestle some fantastic matches with Gulak, which is a good thing, but then Gulak gets relegated to the 24/7 division while DB sticks around doing bigger things. A change of scenery is something he's been itching for for a while. Let him put over people like Ricky Starks now. RE: Cole, dude was seen as THE star in NXT. Dominant, lenghty title reigns, innaugural North American champ, Undisputed Era was everywhere... People there love him to the point where they were booing the face O'Reilly in their feud (although the charisma disparity also factored in). The issue is that all that would be lost in RAW or SD. His booking wouldn't and shouldn't be the same there, and he was running out of things to do in NXT. The change was also inevitable.

As I've mentioned in another thread, there may come to a point where they need to do a brand split. Their roster is fucking huge as it is, and they have FOUR shows. I believe they can use most of their wrestlers in this capacity while building new people. Also, you wouldn't get diminishing returns like this. I imagine that seeing a wrestler twice a week might be a bit too much in today's economy.

And he's progressed a lot since his last WWE stint. Dude would fit right in with Sheamus, McIntyre, Lashley and other BIG MEATY MEN. Yeah, surely a great fit for the Fed.

Isn't he making some nice money on a light schedule? Him cosplaying as ECW McMahon while trolling GCW fans is very, very good. I think he's one of those dudes who might end up bouncing between promotions, specially if he never becomes the top guy in either of them. Black is also one I could see returning sooner or later. in-fighting between EVPs? Why tho?

I dunno, man. We've just seen Cole and Bryan wrestle not long ago, same with Wyatt. 2 out of those 3 names would be nice additions to their roster and generate some buzz, but nothing really tops what they had going Friday. Punk returning after nearly a decade away from wrestling and after a failed UFC run (and don't get me wrong, him going there somehow only added to his myth) is the biggest story you could get in 2021. It just doesn't come by very often. I think moments like Phil's return are going to get more and more sparse. The only way I see rumbles of great magnitude happening is if a star with proven draw power and appeal crosses over from another sport - like a McGregor. Even then, there are such a number of factors that it makes it almost impossible for that to be occur.

I think Timbo's thread is unreadable. Given I also had some problems when I decided to add unconventional characters to my title threads, I believe adding "..." to titles also breaks the board in a way. Bubba @Timbo Slice I'm curious about your thread

Listen, RKBro fucking rocks. I didn't want to say it, but it rocks.

Those two are absurdly over, man. Truly impressive, really. Raw still has some gaping flaws, but even compared to like three weeks ago it feels like a whole different show.

Are Nattie and Tamina still holding the tag belts hostage?

please let elias stumble upon the wyatt compound

what the fuck is this charlotte promo even

Speak for yourself, Johnny Drip Drip is harmless silly fun - plus his singles run when Miz was on the wheelchair was really fucking good. People are legit distraught because of this turn. Miz is just the master, man.

Clarify something for me, bubbas: where does Rampage rank in terms of AEW shows? Dynamite is their main one, but what is the rest of the hierarchy? There might come a point in which they need to do a brand split. They have FOUR shows on right now and an honestly gigantic roster. If they want to sustain some nice numbers, I think it wouldn't be the worst of ideas.

also this segment was just a great showcase on how miz is able to control crowds. went from heel to face to heel again with just a few lines. dude's great.

people really fucking hate logan paul he'd be an amazing manager

The worst part is that this fucking attire distracts viewers from the fact he's ragdolling Ricochet around, which would be his selling point. But hey if that means Scarlett starts wearing as a Roman goddess, it's all good.

oh my god he's wrestling in that? take that fucking L

look I know it's a gladiator but Lord Humongous is much cooler than that shit

What the fuck is Lord Humongous doing in Monday Night Raw

Fucking awesome. It'll be great if they stay even around the 900k mark, given the time slot. ...as much as The Rock.
