KawadaSmile Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 As much as he is consistent for the good and the bad, I think Gedo launching Okada to the fucking moon and never looking back was a pretty ballsy move, I'd say. Surely featuring someone as strongly and consistently at the top of the card helped him become a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Slice Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I actually think that move was made more out of necessity than many think, especially with Naito floundering a bit before his Mexico excursion. People seem to forget that. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone on the WWE front. UK is just the beginning of efforts like this. At some point, they'll come for Mexico and Japan and it'll be a similar scenario. They don't mind throwing around the money right now.

SirEdger Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Back to the whole topic at hand.... Anyone heard about the rumor that WWE is bringing in Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews & Trent Seven for Rumble weekend. They were apparently pulled from a podcast (at least, I think it's a podcast, didn't hear the whole conversation). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutenberger Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Back to the whole topic at hand.... Anyone heard about the rumor that WWE is bringing in Pete Dunne, Mark Andrews & Trent Seven for Rumble weekend. They were apparently pulled from a podcast (at least, I think it's a podcast, didn't hear the whole conversation). They were supposed to work a show for WxW on the 28th, but were pulled due to WWE-commitments. So yeah, I can see that. https://www.facebook.com/WestsideXtremeWrestling/photos/a.155657647816192.27266.155039074544716/1296912590357353/?type=3&theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stro Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Lol imagine any one of those guys showing up in the rumble zero reaction and getting eliminated by like...Baron Corbin or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 It's more likely they were pulled just to spend the weekend backstage at a WWE show to learn the proper way to genuflect to your elders and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzombie1988 Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 Lol imagine any one of those guys showing up in the rumble zero reaction and getting eliminated by like...Baron Corbin or something. That's what would happen too. I will promise you that at minimum 90% of that audience didn't see the UK tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
