WWE TV 4/25-5/1 Hey Asuka's back

[sek69]

Got an elephant sitting on my head thanks to the rona, but I noticed we didn't have a thread so have at it.

[KawadaSmile]

Somehow the board wasn't letting me post the thread, so I gave up.

 

ALI is back. Gimme Mustafa vs GOONTHER

[C.S.]

ALI

ALI

Chicken soup (for you, not the elephant). Cures everything @sek69.

Miz to the returning Ali: "I'm gonna make you wish you DID get your release!" Ummm......he already did wish that. That's why he was away.

But gotta say, Ali seems happy enough to be back. Vince must have offered him a lucrative "opportunity".

[sek69]

Also did Ciampa lose his name too or do the announcers just not know how to pronounce Tomasso?

[KawadaSmile]

Ezekiel looks like the Ultimate Macho Man.

Him becoming an amalgam of Guys Vince Hates would be an entertaining twist.

My mom also tested positive on Thursday; thanks to being vaxxed and boosted, she feels like when she usually has a cold so it's not too bad. I think only my dad and I didn't get it (or we're asymptomatic who knows.)

So with all those returns, did I pick a wrong night to deep dive into some old ZERO1 footage I stumbled upon earlier today? (I'll take Corino/CW/Tanaka/Hidaka/Otani over anything these days)

Yeah that's where I'm at, I'm prone to sinus infections due to allergies and so far it feels like a somewhat stronger version of that.  My wife and son haven't shown any symptoms yet so fingers crossed.

Also I don't think you made the wrong call watching ZERO1, it was certainly more memorable than a lot of recent Raws due to the returns but nothing you'd be kicking yourself over missing. 

[KawadaSmile]

Stay safe out there, bubba @sek69

Gotta make sure to tune in to watch Ezekiel kick ass in the main event! (Seriously he's improved so much)

[sek69]

Honestly, Ezekiel does look much better than the last time we saw him, but they need to get to the payoff for this gimmick fast or he's gonna get Red Rooster'd.

Isn't that the usual state when anyone watches RAW ?

All joking aside, get better soon !

I’m wondering if this is some meta satirical commentary on the past kayfabe way of not acknowledging repackaged characters’ former gimmicks.

You can take it to another level and say KO is playing the role of Roddy Piper who upon seeing Saba Simba yelled out THAT'S TONY ATLAS!

[sek69]

I know he's not the most popular guy around here, but it's crazy to me that LA Knight was over like the Rock in NXT and all they have for him on the main roster is being a manager. I guess he got Adam Cole'd. 

[KawadaSmile]

Which is weird, because he is a big dude. You'd think a guy who is good in the ring, has charisma and can talk would be more than that. 

 

[sek69]

I'm sure it's because he's 39 and Vince has that weird phobia of people being too old despite devoting 3/4ths of last night's show to Orton's two decades of service.

[KawadaSmile]

Jesus, Nikita just took a huge bump to the outside. Earthquakes were felt.

[sek69]

NXT knows where the money is, starting off with Nikkita vs Lash.

[sek69]

Also I see you out there, PWO lurker Wade dropping a "respectfully" 

[KawadaSmile]

LOTS of hats off at this moment, bubbas.

[KawadaSmile]

Nikita/Cora vs Lash/Nattie? Oh my fucking god

[KawadaSmile]

AYYYYYYYYY it's Tony D'Angelo!

[sek69]

Oh my, Creeds vs Vikings, that's some BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT right there

[KawadaSmile]

VIKING RAIDERS VS CREED BROS? LET'S GOOOOOOO
