It's so weird to see Ospreay putting on a hardcore match when mostly he's been known as a high flyer.

Where does this angle rank on the dumbest things WWE has done scale?
Super low. This pic isn't from the embarrassing 2006 40-year-old men trying to act risque and juvenile DX, just the limp dick 2009 one last merch sales push DX.

Hey, I just saw that. Lots of fast-forwarding. Although, it doesn't seem that dumb because people were buying that crap. It's the people who are dumb. The fans. The WWE Universe.
I did think about how super sad it was, though. These 60-year-olds you think you can tell us what to do? / you think you can tell us what to wear?-ing and degenerate into something, fool / we just got tired of doin' what ya told us to do-ing. So hilariously lame.
I actually think of both as the same beast. 2009 was more about merch sales though.
"We just got tired of doing what you told us to do".....oh, here's another 5 minute buy our shit segment, look Shaun, green glowsticks!

This is why I want to find one of Zack Sabre Jr's deathmatches.
Yeah, I skipped all of their talking. >_>

He's feuding with a face Seth Rollins. So yeah, he is.

Wait, what? ZSJ did death matches?
I guess this isn't totally unexpected becuase it seems like a bunch of guys go through that short phase to get high visibility
Pfft you mean nothing to me now....

I would be so happy if WWE signs Ethan Page, the indies, and Evolve in particular, would be a better place. It is going to be a sad day when ZSJ leaves the indies, and maybe Riddle if he continues to develop. Both ZSJ and Riddle are on so much indies promotions that their absence is going to felt.
Lee Marshall would say that. Filthy bastard.

Bayley is honest to god top 5 worst on the roster.
this is why Roman is on top, people who don't watch the show, see a superman punch and buy a Roman Reigns shirt
you did this

At least the last time they were in Chorpus Christi, Texas the crowd got Harper over, this place was just awful.
They actually found a worst place than Chorpus Christi.
Worse than Bayley, off the top of my head
Dana Brooke
Nia Jax
Carmella
Titus
Mojo
Tamina
Bayley on the main roster has indeed been pretty awful though.

The Shield.
Thought Seth, Roman and Ambrose solo runs are awful.
Hmm, now that I remember I think only Seth was NXT, both Roman and Ambrose were FCW.

I'd rather watch Titus, Carmella, and Mojo over Bayley.

As much as I hate Carmella, she's been more interesting than Bayley on the main roster
Tyler Breeze
Jesus you really hate Bayley.
Fuck you Breeze is amazing and beautiful.

So Carmella pretending to Tweet/text and not give a shit about the match while Titus puts moose horns on and barks at her and Mojo gets hyped about it?
Way better then Bayley
I was one of those.
I will follow that up by saying that NXT ruins stars for the main roster. They get big on NXT, and often reach their peak so when they translate to the main roster and aren't as big with entire arenas cheering them it falls flat and it feels like the transition isn't working more often than not.
NXT should be it's own thing, with wrestlers getting called up being the exception, not the norm. We'd have a huge main event and mid card picture now on NXT if that was the case.
You're actually probably right when I stop and think about it.
Some people still don't want to admit they get too much into NXT and have no frame of reference how this character will come across to a broader audience.
Bayley is just one of those characters that made sense to me. It would have been a perfect example of someone rising through the ranks, but they just handed her the title in a short span. Now she has nothing.

Yeah, but he is wasted in WWE. Even in NXT he was nothing more than enchantment talent. He is one of the guys that needs to leave WWE for some years to come back and be in a better position.

Tyler Breeze is great.
