goodhelmet Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Not likely but we will have plenty of Naylor news in the days ahead.
sek69 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 I'm surprised they didn't find some other role for him since he's one of those rare people in wrestling that literally everyone likes.
Hollinger. Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Pretty sure he doesn't have to worry about that.
anarchistxx Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Can anyone summarize how Rob Naylor made his rise from enthusiastic smark to beloved WWE employee? It seems a completely unique turn of events. He always had that all encompassing likability that is so rare in a message board poster. I don't watch NXT, has he been on television at all?
Boondocks Kernoodle Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Poor Rob, he has to give up this pimpin' lifestyle.
rovert Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 I'm surprised they didn't find some other role for him since he's one of those rare people in wrestling that literally everyone likes. They tried to at least according to PWInsider. Both WWE's main operation and NXT in moving to Orlando is in a state of flux. If you look at the Creative department for example there seems to be a endless reshuffling this year . Some of the most senior and influential people have continued the praise for Rob over the past few hours:
KrisZ Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Triple H @TripleH 7m @NINaylor .... Thank you for your huge contributions!!! Like I said, let me know when u r ready, c u down the road #thankyoujiminycricket
benj Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 Poor Rob, he has to give up this pimpin' lifestyle. The next goodwill wrestling podcast should be about this day in Rob Naylor's life.
soup23 Posted June 30, 2013 Report Posted June 30, 2013 I will be live blogging the AIW show at: http://placetobenation.com/absolute-intens...viii-live-blog/ If any promotion has a chance of becoming the new IWA-MS, I think it is them.
Superstar Sleeze Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Rick Martel (eventually Tito Santana) vs The Islanders is the best Tag Team feud if not the best feud of the Hulkamania era. It had excellent heat throughout with Martel first saying he would fight The Islanders alone due to Zenk departure in singles matches, but he would keeping getting mugged after the matches. So eventually Tito joined him to form Strike Force and then Tito would get assaulted 2 on 1. Not only was the build great and it had the Garden rocking for every match, but the Martel singles and the tag matches were some of the best quality WWF matches in that era. Outside of Steamboat/Savage, I really cant think of a feud that delivered both in and outside of the ring as well as Strike Force vs The Islanders in the late 80s WWF.
Johnny Sorrow Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 Hey kids! Check it out! And enjoy it while it lasts! Some dude has started putting up 1985 syndicated World Wide Wrestling (Crockett) shows on the youtube. He starts with the first show of 1985 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rG0Ue_9jI And apparently he's also a DeadHead. Which explains why he's a great man.
Guest Nell Santucci Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 I think Michaels is working the IWC. He was clearly talking about Bryan. McMahon is a fan of Bryan, but that doesn't imply McMahon thinks Bryan is going to be a draw. He felt Mysterio wouldn't be a draw either, and WWE Creative had to convince him otherwise.
rovert Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 New Japan clamping down: IVP avoided selling New Japan iPPVs so to fly under the radar. Obviously that didn't work. All means all too from comps to classic footage.
Guest Staples Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 I think Michaels is working the IWC. He was clearly talking about Bryan. McMahon is a fan of Bryan, but that doesn't imply McMahon thinks Bryan is going to be a draw. He felt Mysterio wouldn't be a draw either, and WWE Creative had to convince him otherwise. I'm still not 100% sure. Bryan's been pushed fairly consistently since he appeared and actually has a fair deal of merchandise. Tell me how this isn't money:
cm funk Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 naylor was probably my favorite message board poster, and fave podcaster. The dude was funny as shit. Never met the guy, and I don't know why he's leaving FCW, but I hope he does some kind of tell all down the road
jdw Posted July 1, 2013 Report Posted July 1, 2013 A man with masses of talent and a super cool aesthetic but who was born with the worst business sense in modern Wrestling has seemingly burnt every bridge: Brandon Sylvestry (Low Ki/Senshi), 32, has been telling promoters that have contacted him that he’s retired. He’s moving on into voice over work. He had been in talks with All Japan, but had asked for a huge guarantee. At one point they had an agreement but All Japan backed off. He did say that with the right program with a major group, he is open to coming back, but not unless it’s something major. Source: Wrestling Observer. Maybe we should revisit the "Joe's a looooooooser" concept.
sek69 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Posted July 3, 2013 Is it me or does Kane look like a giant Tom Arnold in that pic?
cm funk Posted July 4, 2013 Report Posted July 4, 2013 Vince Vaughn is more or less the same height as Kane? Wow
BruiserBrody Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/fant...-stayed-in-wcw/ I re-book WCW after the "Powers that Be" are removed from power on January 1st, 2000. Since I'm not Kevin Sullivan, the Radicalz stay in WCW and this is my attempt to put forth my spin on a dying company. Too much too quick happening really, but I had 2 weeks to reboot out of a Russo mess for a PPV, 2 of the Titles are vacant (others are on terrible choices for champion) and try and set up some interesting angles for the next few months. --- Insults are to expected
Jimmy Redman Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 I never actually watched WCW in 2000, but I will say that having read that, and having read El-P's recap of actual WCW in 2000, yours sounds appreciably better.
hammerva Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 Not to be insulting but I think a 12 year old could have re-booked WCW 2000 and it would have better than the actual product
El-P Posted July 5, 2013 Report Posted July 5, 2013 A bunny rabbit or a teady bear could have booked a better wrestling product than the one I'm subjecting myself to right now.
