Dav'oh Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 "WWE legend Triple H has urged Declan Rice to stay at West Ham amid interest from Chelsea." It seems Trips really is devoted to developmental groups (sorry, Hammers fans). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cm funk Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Speaking as someone who used to really enjoy NXT I've gradually to now completely stopped watching it since they put it on USA. WWE admitting defeat is so fucking rare, I'm greatly enjoying the schaudenfreude here. AEW was kicking their stupid asses, but of course they'll spin it and never admit that It's clearly the best thing for NXT, but god damn do they need to do some serious work to repair the brand at this point. It's ice cold with me right now, literally nothing happening there that interests me enough to check out a show after the fact. I like Thatcher, but as soon as he's getting momentum they kneecap him for no fucking reason. Lots of talent I like there but they're either stale, overexposed, misused etc etc. The whole brand needs a makeover right now. It's no longer developmental, so involve it in the draft and really shake things up with roster turnover. Move Gable, Ricochet etc. etc. and re-focus them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted September 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 There is absolutely no reason for Thatcher not to be the NXT Champ. But then again, there's no reason for him to be in NXT at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NintendoLogic Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 There's no way that's a recent IG story, right? I mean, he can't possibly be that stupid, can he? Nevertheless, the only Chad in WWE was Gable, and now he's Shorty G. Pretty symbolic if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only Gulak and Riddle are there, but guys like Roman, Gable, Big E and even Corbin would have great matches with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.S. Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Can't help but think you're all going to be very disappointed when Thatcher is called up to the main roster. After winning a starter feud with Ziggler or Corbin, he's going to be an opening card guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince seems to be really high on both of them. If he sees something in Thatcher, he's pretty much set. Hell, if Daniel Bryan sees something in him, he's in a good position.

cm funk Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Yea, that's worked out great for Gulak...... I don't consider anyone in a particularly good position in WWE these days quite frankly. Orton and Reigns I guess....who else? AJ and Bryan are bulletproof. Other than that?

NintendoLogic Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Riddle winning and getting screwed by Corbin at the PPV. Because every single one of Corbin's feuds has to be interminably dragged out while the guy he's feuding with mysteriously ends up nowhere near as over as he had been previously.

He had a fun little feud against AJ and DB until Bryan disappeared. Can't say he was in a bad spot at that time. Who knows what they would've done with Gulak had Daniel stuck around. Also this 4 way is a match that at least adds some intrigue due to how many options they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert S Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 21 hours ago, KawadaSmile said: the chad roman reigns vs the incel braun strowman How do you come up with / believe such numbers? I mean even if you don't trust the testing numbers at all, one look at https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/excess_deaths.htm#dashboard should tell you everything you need to know. True story: When all COVID-hell started to break loose, my boss argued with the excess deaths statistics that this is all just fake news. When one or two weeks later there were significant spikes in the graph starting to show up, he came up with the weirdest explanations about the number, basically in a "the cure is worse than the illness" kind-of-way, ignoring that countries with a high number of cases had a fittingly high excess death, even if they a have good public health system.

SirEdger Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 To be fair, AoP never got going because of badly timed injuries. I thought they were fitting really good as Seth Rollins' muscle in the early stages of the Monday Night Messiah gimmick. Bold prediction: I think AoP will end up with Major League Wrestling. I don't know why, just got that feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kas Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 AOP were talented, a shame to see them go. Also, this is an absolutely brain-dead decision that I just cannot see why was implemented, there's nothing to gain from this. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/09/exclusive-vince-mcmahon-threatens-to-punish-talent-engaging-674408/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Quote During the call, it was said that WWE owns the real names of talent, not just their character names. I'm no expert in copyright law, but that doesn't sound remotely legal to me. Especially for independent contractors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
