Maybe that's why it's a boneyard match. 33 minutes ago, Tim Evans said: NXT using Sam Roberts on commentary is making me wish Mauro was back. HHH knows the end times are here. I'm not watching. Why is GOAT Mauro not on the show? No matter what you may think of the resplendent Ranallo, in no universe is the annoying, rat-like Sam Roberts an adequate substitute.

sek69 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 His boy Frank Shamrock posted a video of Mauro supporting other bipolar folks on his Twitter the other day, it appears that he's strictly following the self isolation procedure.

Tim Evans Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Also doesn't he live in Canada? Probably couldn't get to Connecticut. Watching tonight's NXT and man no show is hurt more by empty arenas than NXT. For as bad as the FS crowd can be, they add so much to the shows.

sek69 Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Can't believe NXT is going to try to make Samuel Shaw...er Dexter Lumis.... a thing. I did chuckle for his theme being a not-even-trying-to-hide ripoff of the Stranger Things theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple H has said that Roman is going to be written out of the main event in a very "creative" way. Really hoping his cancer does not become a part of the storyline again.

Its like having a wrestler who solves mysteries and calling him Sherlock. Or a boxer-turned-wrestle gimmick with the name Sly Balboa. Actually, no, Sly Balboa is an objectively great name and considerably better than Dexter Lumis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMKK Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Didn't see the full match but Lumis doing that awkward slide out of the ring just for a shitty punch spot was hilarious. His look kind of gives me Heidenreich vibes. I wonder if Jake Atlas is second guessing his career choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the molester mustache, ,to the tattoos that look like they're covering up something bad to the point his one arm looks like a redacted FOIA request, to the "just came back from a rally that involved tiki torches" haircut, he's like someone just made a Frankenstein of creepy parts with no idea what to do with it.

Stiva Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 They should put an angle together where Roman is Poochie. Braun and Goldberg standing in the centre of the ring watching him float off back to his home planet. Instead, it'll be some shitty injury angle that nobody buys because they know the truth.

Apparently the "creative way" was just to have Cole announce the new match. Totally worth all the false advertising (which is actually relevant since they're pushing this as PPV for the first time since the Network launched).

hammerva Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Okay I admit I am not really paying attention but did they change the match by just showing Braun against Goldberg now and that was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean given how weird it has been maybe they did do something in the tapings and said fuck it don't show it Also getting from tonight that Miz isn't getting punished for coming into work sick and causing Reigns to flip out.

I mean he know fucking knows maybe they did do something in the tapings and said fuck it don't show it True, but if that's what happened it makes Hunter look like a pretty big doofus for promising a creative way out and then delivering nothing. A non sociopath-run company would have taken a moment to ponder one of their top executives promised something so maybe we probably shouldn't come off looking like we don't give a fuck about that.

sek69 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Having the Cenabot 5000 be the go home segment for CovidMania is certainly the most on-brand WWE thing to do at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as that story goes, I certainly didn't expect WWE to have Sonya be the heel whenever they'd decide to break them up. But considering how well people have reacted to the Otis/Mandy angle, that was the right way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 While I do enjoy the Otis/Mandy program the Sonya text reveal should've been the perfect way of including the lesbian storyline they was so desperately trying to go for instead of the hot garbage that was Lana/ Liv Morgan. It would've made perfect sense and kept Dolph off tv for a good bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
