WWE TV 02/26 - 03/03 Why do people keep on doing live action ATLA adaptations?

[KawadaSmile]

Seriously, just the animated series is more than enough.

[Tenese Sarwieh]

It seems like it's all about the money. I caught the first episode, and while it was okay, there were major pacing issues. I can't help but wonder how different the final product would've been if Michael and Bryan hadn't departed. 

[Tenese Sarwieh]

The walk-in before the show entrance has already lost its effect, just do it for your top stars. 

[KawadaSmile]

Sami beating GUNTHA for the IC belt at WM feels like a good decision.

[KawadaSmile]

Dom vs Gunther? Fuck Yes.

[KawadaSmile]

LOL at that Rollins promo. If that's how he rallies troops, the war is already lost.

[KawadaSmile]

Cody is absurdly over. Holy shit.

I can't imagine how much it has to suck to fly all the way from Australia and have to work TV jetlagged to fuck and back.

I had a flight from Italy to the Mid West US and was totally fine a day or two after I got back, but then when the jet lag caught up a day or so later, I legit slept for 20 hours :lawd

Tama Tonga, welcome to the Bloodline.

[KawadaSmile]

The person behind those cryptic messages was... 10 Guy.

Not gonna lie, my first thought was "KawadaSmile is going to be pissed off"

[sek69]

To be fair though, being someone the young pups can work with in NXT isn't the worst role in the world for ol' 10 Guy.

Ah yes, a Tongan who's the same family as a SAMOAN.

[sek69]

If someone related to Meng wants to join my group, I'm not saying no.

[NotJayTabb]

Shawn Spears is exactly the kind of guy they should have in NXT all the time - a solid pro/veteran to work with your roster of mainly in-house trained wrestlers so they've got someone to work with to help them improve on the job. Kind of like how Man Utd have 36yr old Tom Huddlestone playing with their academy team as a veteran to lead the youth players in the right direction.

The Rock has said he considers Haku his uncle, so Tama is as much Rock's cousin as Roman is (Peter Maivia and Afa and Sika's father became "brothers" through a blood oath, which is not how brotherhood works biologically or legally). And of course, Paul Heyman isn't even Polynesian.

[El-P]

When true and tried nepotism doesn't work, just make shit up.

Like, I guess as a trainer he can be fine, as @NotJayTabbpointed out - QT would fall under the same category - but I have noooooooo fucking time for that dude as an on screen talent. 

Related to Performance Center wrestlers getting more experience, Maxxine Dupri was apparently booed at a house show. Haven't seen the vid making the rounds, and while it is a bit harsh to her, I must ask again: why is she wrestling at all under those circumstances? She is unexperienced, started out as a manager (which she is actually very good at) and essentially was having her first matches on LIVE TELEVISION. Like, it's just the opposite of what they are doing with Jade, which is super unfair to Maxxine.

If Christian ever returns to WWE he can join the Bloodline by telling us that he is Roman's father.

Yeah Maxxine got thrown to the wolves and that sucks, nice to see other women in WWE come to her defense since it seems by all accounts she's a really sweet person. There's no excuse for her to be learning on the job on national TV when they have a whole ass developmental brand.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Learning in the job at house shows is obviously tough, but she hasn't complained about that footage, right? Here's the thing. She's not good. The only way to get good is reps. 
Getting booed is fine. But, holy shit. the online reactions are insane. 
Who cares? "The last model they're trying to teach how to work got booed at a house show!" or "FUCK HER SHE CANT RASSLE" 

Its another sign we'll doomed, eventually.

[Jmare007]

I hope Rocky doesn't repeat this same material today, this was pretty self explanatory and long enough to fight an opening segment of WWE TV.

Him saying professional wrestling so many times felt right, so glad they can use the term so freely once again.

And treating Seth as the clown he looks like was the best part, lol.
