Well... now I can't wait to see David Flair in WWE (F?).
Oh, I've seen him plenty in WCW, if that's what you're referring to. He's a star, brother.

Him and Russo exploring the Flair house and making it look like David was living in the basement and only allowed to swim in a pond instead of the fancy pool was terrible gold. Plus bonus 13 or 14 year old Charlotte giving the side eye to Russo.

The David Flair/Crowbar/Daffney stuff in WCW is legitimately great. Very underrated, and people were upset David wasn't a wrestling prodigy, but he tried a lot of fun shit and they all did a lot of fun shit. I really liked where they went with him. A Flair that is nothing like his pops...
Also Daffney of course <3

It is not legitimately great. It's passable. I've got to give Russo or whoever credit for salvaging David Flair, though. I mean, he's really not talented at all (although I just saw he was like 20 at the time, so that explains a lot), but they gave him something he could do okay.
Anyway, their group is a strange mish-mash. I dunno. It's fine. Definitely not great, though.
Depends if what follows is someone passively-aggressively complaining indirectly about it without just using the ignore function. If that happened, I'd find it far worse.
Slow down, slow down. If you're good at something, never do it for free.Just whipped up a couple of logos for WWE to use for the next Wrestlemania main event
Catching up on wrasslin from the past couple of days.
Jack Gallagher vs Fabian Aichner on the CWC was absolutely fantastic.
On Smackdown I was really impressed with the promos in their two top SummerSlam feuds. Great work by everyone, even Ziggler. Even that quick 3-way IC #1 contender match was decent. As for the women's division on that show...fuck man. Just the worst.
Gargano vs Ciampa next up

The women's division is great! Run ins and fake injuries, no time for bathroom breaks anymore!

I don't have long term high hopes for the split, do you guys?
we all lost hope after Wrestlemania 2000
They need to establish a lot of people on Smackdown before we can say it's gonna work or not. It's what they're doing, but it could work out.

I really liked it when David Flair was rolling with those two. I really did. Flair was, like you said, not talented at all. At least, had no real training. I'll fondly remember the time Meng chopped the piss out of him in his first match. God DAMN that was fun.
Eventually it got fascinating because he was as far from his dad as someone could be, and started doing interesting things.
It's not Positively Kanyon, but it is one of my favorite things.
For RAW, yes I do have high hopes. It's been the breath of fresh air that has been sorely needed.
Smackdown is climbing uphill, so I have no idea how it'll work out.

I think the fact that both brands are on USA and not two different stations it can work better. Why? Because you don't have one requesting the top stars to be in their channel, thus fucking up the star power for the other.

Every time I watch Impact, I find myself getting distracted by being annoyed at how loud they mic the ring. It spoils my enjoyment. First thing I'd do if I were in charge is tone that shit down.

"Talking Smack" was surprisingly good
Meltzer said ZSJ was offered a contract but probably isn't signing.
Pretty much guaranteed these guys are signed or at least they're working on it.

Man I love watching wrestlers execute perfect boot kicks like that
Now we just need OwensIsNow saying that Stephanie looks like a man!
Last I heard there were complications with him signing at the moment but he wanted to when everything cleared up.

Depends on your definition of long term. If they can develop at least two bonafide main eventers in the next two years, ala Cena/Batista in the original, they will consider it a success. Then they'll end it. I dont think anyone believes the split will last forever.
I'm sure he has an open offer to sign whenever he feels he's done all he wants to do on the indies.

Its difficult for me to separate RAW from Smackdown, and have champs on each show. Its nice to give those like Ziggler a stage to shine on, Its just tough for me to accept a WHC and a Universal HV champ, multiple Tag champs, etc........

Sabre wants to finish up a few things before signing. Also, they're saying that he's almost too good for them lol. I'll find the quote.

Lol at that quote. Sabre's style is just as combative as any other. It looks easy against an opponent who isn't ready for it.
Give him a few more rounds and he'll have matches against wrestlers who can work with it.

Blue is just no selling the fuck out of you all. Could it be said that he's the Brock of WrassleGAF? Discuss.
Then who's the Dolph Ziggler of WrassleGAF?

I would gladly read that

Nese just re-signed with WWNLive/Evolve and Gulak is their (?) main trainer (...and Regal or Bloom went to say that if you want to get ready for WWE/NXT, then train with Gulak) => unlikely IMO.

Fucked up of you to imply Blue is on roids tbh. What's next, saying friend Zach is on roids?
I mean, I know being on drugs would probably help to deal with Mania 2000 but still!

Sunflower or Zach
Gabe Sapolsky has said he'd let anyone go to WWE if they called with an offer. I think his contracts are in place to keep his talent from other indies.

So, say you or someone you were married to worked for Bioware Austin and you/they are moving to a new office building. What would you expect to find in the offices of the company that runs a Star Wars MMO on moving day?
Of course, you'd expect to find a bunch of Acclaim WWF games from the late 90s and a corporate report on the reviews for one of them. In Your House for Sega Saturn! What?
This thick ass report is basically a print out of every review this Acclaim jabroni could find, with a short summary of what's good/bad about Warzone in the beginning. I don't know the chemistry of 18 year old toner, but the way the it had fused the pages together I think it's possible this report has never been read before. And who could blame everyone?
I took a look at the summaries and there's some funny stuff there:

Just watch one show, then there's only one champ. I recommend Smackdown.
