we clearly have different definitions of what a star is.

AJ is a star, end of discussion. Not all stars in WWE were in the title hunt 24/7. Rock had a program with Hurricane, Cena had his open challenge, etc. AJ held the world title for months, and now he's in the midcard. It doesn't mean that's where he's staying permanently.

 

[Pikma]

WWE doesn't have any stars left because that's actually not what they want, they want their brand to be the one and only star on the show, so they have talent that helps them promote their brand but that's it.

 

[Mahonay]

That bracketology killed most of my interest in the tournament. None of them seemed appealing in the slightest. Every interview seemed forced and awkward.

Lol you're judging it on interviews? Ok fam.

Really?

The MYC and where this ROH stable goes are now the only things I care about in WWE.

 

[serenewarfare]

no, Roman is. the WWE standard is the same as its always been.

The star is involved in the top title most often than not. Thats what a star is in the wwe.

If Rocky wasnt fighting for the world title most of the time, he would just be a midcard guy.

Did Rock ever went "back down" to the IC title after being in world title feuds? Did Austin?

Like I know Austin won the tag titles with Hunter but that was more of a storyline thing.

Uh, Roman was in a US Title feud less than a year ago.

They need women who can wrestle and talk. They have some who can do one or the other but only Charlotte can do both so far.

Exactly.

Its like the opposite of what a promotion is supposed to be. Especially given wrestlers are still independant contractors.

Big Meltz about to be on the LAW.

 

[Anth0ny]

who has more stars: dubdube or kenny omega between august 12 and 13?

 

[Hex]

Look at the other pic though. It looks like she is just a black girl werewolf.

Yeah I googled the Monster High stuff...(not the weirdest thing on my history) and that character is definitely supposed to be black.
They actually released a make up tutorial (If you needed ideas Zach) on their youtube that definitely does not have that part of the costume..

Yeah because Charlotte walked into WWE and was immediately good on the mic.

Spoiler:

Spoiler

she wasn't

Did you watch CWC? It was fucking amazing. Then WWE took who they liked and dumped into the garbage pile that is 205 Live.

I expect the Mae Young Classic to be great. I do not expect them make good use of the women afterwards.

They have stars. The problem is that they live in NXT and then die as soon as they come up.

She still isn't

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Remember when Rusev decided he didn't want to do a dumb relationship angle

and now he's losing in under 10 seconds

 

[Mahonay]

Spoiler

She still isn't

She's given some real trash to work with. I think she's good overall.

 

[Rhaknar]

The LAW guys were saying that Roode is going to feud with AJ? I only caught the end of the discussion.

Kinda says something that she hasn't deleted it yet. That shit will come back it haunt her.

Didn't he say that he was gonna find out more info and the rest was just speculation?

I loved the CWC, but the bracketology made it a lot more enticing than this one did. They had compelling stories and personalities.

I dunno dude. This felt almost identical in format. Maybe not quite as in depth but whatever.

I didn't need Meltzer to figure that one out.

They would finally have a real shooter

 

[Pikma]

Also love the fact Vince is so fucking desperate for ratings that he doesn't do debuts on PPV anymore in hopes of making people tune in to watch his weekly shitshows

 

[ratcliffja]

I'll still watch for sure. Right now, though, only Kay Lee Ray and the Japanese girl interest me and the latter is only based on hype about her being on Asuka's level.

 

[Professor Beef]

Tonight was the first time I had anything purely positive to say about Cesaro

 

[cordy]

I'm dabbing so hard.

On the real I'm dancing like YG hearing this shit.

BUT THE YOUTUBES

 

[Rhaknar]

i keep getting the alvarez/meltzer show confused with the law.

whats the alvarez/dave show called and when does it air? thats the one I like.

 

[Toki767]

Everything matters.

Everything just sucks (ratings, Network subs, live attendance) so people keep saying it doesn't matter anymore.

Wrestling Observer Radio. You have to pay for it.

 

[Anth0ny]

so they can do a shield reunion at survivor series

then at the rumble, an even bigger reunion:

THE BIGGEST 6 MAN OF ALL TIME AT WRAUSSLEMANIA

 

[serenewarfare]

It doesn't "air" per se. It's a podcast. It's included in the Observer online subscription. It's usually posted about 4 AM EST. They do shows after Takeovers, PPVs, Raw, and Wednesday nights/Thursday mornings after the Observer releases.

 

[Rhaknar]

Wrestling Observer Radio. You have to pay for it.

oh...

so I should feel bad for catching it on youtube then :3

 

[Foggy]

Yeah it was the Ironman battle royal thing. 2nd match.

 

[serenewarfare]

This is the part of the thread where we predict how the Singh Brothers will interfere in the inevitable Nakamura/Jinder HIAC rematch.

 

[Pikma]

Yeah it was the Ironman battle royal thing. 2nd match.

Any way to watch it? Is it up on DDTUniverse?

 

[cordy]

Nakamura ain't making it to HIAC to face The God. Since there's a Shakeup happening within the next few weeks (shit might even be this week) I can actually see Balor coming to SDL and challenge Mahal.
