Damn you guys sure have quite the strange boner for Roman.
Doubtful as they already do pretty good there. Just worked out that way as Raw you have Braun/Bork and nobody in the rumble really fit into that story outside of pushing Roman for the 100th time. It had to be a Smackdown guy, so realistically that meant either Shinsuke or Randy were going to get it and giving it to Randy again would've been a terrible idea. Actually, I'm surprised they didn't do it since it would've been a bad idea.Soo...since WWE realize India was a failed endeavor, are they now trying to win the Japanese market?
And did, did Sasha finally turn heel?
The Bullet Club IMO has been stale long before Kenny became the leader. It was getting stale back when AJ was leading the group. I think Cody is a good choice to be the leader now though and inevitably be the beginning of the end for the stable. I'd like to see an angle play out where Cody's ego eventually causes the group to splinter and eventually disband.I know this is how it feels every time they lose a leader, but I don't feel like the Bullet Club has the momentum to stay as relevant without Kenny. I love Cody, but I just don't think he's "there". Maybe that's just me though
But damn, those last two matches at Takeover last night. Hoooly hell. Did not expect Gargano/Almas to be match of the night, but here we are.
Was there on Saturday for Gargano/Almas. Can confirm.You guys, wrestling is ing awesome.
I saw that Beyond Wrestling was running out of Wrestlefactory on Saturday before Takeover, but the transit situation wasn’t ideal in relation to where I was staying.Wanted to post back in here to say I really really hope you guys start paying attention to CHIKARA (again?). Sooner than later is great, but definitely later this year.
How was the crowd when Ciampa showed up? It legit sounded like the audience was too exhausted from the match to even start a " you, Ciampa" chant.Was there on Saturday for Gargano/Almas. Can confirm.
Not sure how it came off on TV, but there was a sizeable A-hole chant in the arena after everyone initially freaked out.How was the crowd when Ciampa showed up? It legit sounded like the audience was too exhausted from the match to even start a " you, Ciampa" chant.
I Agree with what you're saying for the most part, but I don't know why you're so critical on NXT. I Think even pre recorded it doesn't take anything away from the show and there's still at least one solid match each episode. That and I enjoy seeing guys figure out their gimmicks like Street Profits and Heavy Machinery. Plus the buzz from people who were at that Takeover to see that Roddy and Bates match said it was very good.I know this is an absurd fantasy, but if they insist of weirdly separating their CW roster, I think it'd be great if they went all the way with it and sort of combined NXT/205 Live into a single 3rd brand. Add in the UK division, too. Make it a 2-hour live show and run smaller, sort of mid-sized venues with a different format.
It's hard maintaining interest in NXT being pre-recorded, and 205 Live's current format is just awful. It's always just a tired, dead crowd waiting for the advertised dark main event.
Also bring Neville back and give him all of the titles.
edit: so they have Tyler Bate competing in the title tournament, and Roderick Strong next week... so they're kinda doing this, just the absolute worst version of it. And the matches will still be boring. Oh well.
Sorry for not being clear, what I meant was 205 live's matches were boring - NXT is very entertaining. I still think it being live would help it, though.I Agree with what you're saying for the most part, but I don't know why you're so critical on NXT.

Ah, that makes sense. I Only watch 205 here and there and I was confused as to the whole NXT talk mixed in it.Sorry for not being clear, what I meant was 205 live's matches were boring - NXT is very entertaining. I still think it being live would help it, though.
The match I'm talking about isn't the Roddy/Bates match. Roddy is facing Hideo on 205 Live next week in the CW tournament. Bates faced TJP on 205 Live tonight in the same tournament. It wasn't great, and I have a hard time believing that without constraints those 2 wouldn't have a great match, ya know? Most of the 205 Live matches are just dumbed down WWE-ized CW-lite matches it feels like. It doesn't make sense.
(May)be I am.I saw that Beyond Wrestling was running out of Wrestlefactory on Saturday before Takeover, but the transit situation wasn’t ideal in relation to where I was staying.
Still training? How’s it going if so?
How was SD audience-wise? From TV it felt like the crowd was just tired from the long weekend or something. The biggest pop from the various tapings seemed to be Braun and Alexa's... thing, which was interesting. That could always be editing, though.-snip-
They signed Spud awhile ago and I assume the plan all along was to debut him as the GM of 205 Live.Trips is going for TNA's throat, signing away Rockstar Spud and Jeremy Borash.
I was part of the crowd doing "drift away" chants at Full Sail, he had legitimate go-away heat, which he managed to channel and turn into a great character.I Realized something this week, I-I think I want to walk with Elias??
He went from guy I thought "called up too early" to someone I actually enjoy watching.
Oh yeah, the fact that he won in a match against Cena and Braun blew my mind and I love it. He's super entertaining. Just a few months back he was in a feud with Finn and I thought "man this sucks for Finn" now he seems to be on Finn's level or even above in terms of card placement (which still sucks for Finn). I dig it.I Realized something this week, I-I think I want to walk with Elias??

I Heard since the firing of a certain "Certified G" that 205 Live has been top to bottom solid. So more reason for me to check it out on Hulu this week. So much goddamn wrestling. Also was thinking of taking a break from NJPW World for a month or two and try some DDT Pro. Anyone have any experience with the service they have?Hideo vs Roddy was GREAT tonight, pleasantly surprised. It's unfortunate the crowd was not really as into as they should have been for aforementioned reasons. But man, what a great match. First match was damn good, too. I hope 205 Live can keep this up and somehow get enough eyes to be put somewhere or booked more prominently.

The weird feeling knowing HHH is helping me enjoy wrestling...Supposedly, HHH took over 205 Live last week. No Vince. It shows.
Dijak vs. Dain would be a killer match. Really stoked to see Dijak debut on NXT TV.Good news is ROH is streaming their show tonight for free. Bad news is the card is kinda garbage.
Have front row for NXT show tonight, undecided what shirt to wear. Was going to be Progress since Axel Dieter Jr/Marcel forget his last name worked the show last night as well as Aleister Black (whose shirt I have).
Dijak and Candace were also there. I really want Dijak vs Killian Dain after seeing Dijack/Keith Lee.
But what shirt did you wear?Got there late due to reasons. Saw Dain/Babatumbe, Shayna/Rhea Ripley, main event of Heavy Machinery vs Undisputed Era. Cole ran out for the finish, place went nuts. Then as the beatdown, Gargano makes the save and challenges them to a 6man tag. Cole accepts, for tomorrow night in Orlando.
Kek. Aleister, who wasn't there. Shame I never bought the reDRagon shirt I looked at so many times over the years. Crowd popped huge when Undisputed music hit. "Shock the system" is a good "announcement" beat.But what shirt did you wear?
It's going to happen, they wouldn't have Cena tease it otherwise. I've been saying for awhile that Cena should officially end The Undertaker's career at Wrestlemania and finally turn heel. I think this is the last chance WWE has to really pull the trigger on a Cena heel turn. John Cena isn't as prominent on WWE TV anymore and if they are going to do it now is the best and maybe last chance they have.So what was with the Cena and Taker tease for Wrestlemania? Just to troll the fans? Can't imagine Taker coming back. A part of the fan in me wants it to happen but the other part says he's better off staying retired.
I saw that too. I'd honestly rather see Cena vs. Undertaker even though a match with Mysterio would be better. I think a great story can be told with Cena vs. Taker and at this point, I don't see WWE coming up with a compelling reason for Mysterio to return and face off against Cena at Mania with about a months worth of time to build it.On the chair
Well reports have come out that Cena is supposed to face off against Rey Mysterio Jr at Mania so we shall see.
Wow, it’s been a looooong time since I’ve looked/ posted in here.
I feel u on that cause it’s just one of those matches you always wanted to see Taker vs Cena.I saw that too.

WOW!! Not mad at you but for me change that to Mandy Rose.I'd rather Alexa Bliss sit on my face than the other way around, but that's just me.
Whelp you were right no way they back out of this now. John's always been great at cutting promos since he's really natural with the mic so I'm still a fan of him.It's going to happen, they wouldn't have Cena tease it otherwise.
