joke
That and it got a ton of people raised to be boxing fans who were burned out on all the corruption and sameness.
In the end we all become porridge.
I'm ready for a Paige vs AJ feud. They're probably going to have the best Diva matches ever. And Regal should be her personal color commentator.
It's so weird feeling excited about so many things in WWE world. It's been MANY years. Probably 2003/2004ish with Eddie and Benoit on top, killing ratings, and themselves.

I'm not sure I could handle all the angst.

Bought guacamelee even though my backlog is DEEP!
That counts as a wrestling game right?

All that matters is that it counts as a fuck-awesome game.

It's OMEN;
I remember him from a random SMASH show a few years back.

I wish it actually did more with the wrestling angle, it's more Mexicovania than Wrestlevania.
Juan has less charisma than Ted DiBiase jr who is apparently still employed, who knew?
Makes him look like a skinny unmasked Kane.
If Soul were here he'd set him off as Kane's Irish son.

Remember his ring work at all? Or not noteworthy?
The next generation of athletes in general is ruined by shitty tattoos.

Don't remember much other than the mask - it was one of those TAJIRI & AKIRA vs 'random European gaijins you've never heard of' matches and they all kinda blurred into one.
He seems to be quite well regarded among mainland European fans though, as he worked a fair bit in Belgium, Germany & Poland.
I'm inclined to agree.

Sounds good. Looking forward to his debut as Lil Sheamus.
Was he short? Looks short where he is on the ropes.
I was hoping for that.. gives Punk someone who is high level to feud with.. and let's be honest.. RVD isn't all that interesting to watch in the ring
Not even sure why he is still over

That's reasonable as long as that's his real height. They can bill him at 6'4. Unless that's his billed height, which means say hello to 5'9 truth.

I believe Dusty booked FCW have no idea who was in charge of redemption but they deserve a medal.

Watched a show from Emi Sakura's Gatoh Move promotion. What a weird venue for wrestling, looks even smaller than the original Ice Ribbon dojo;
They had one single writer who did NXT Redemption, and they gave no shits about that show, so he basically did whatever he wanted. Derrick Bateman talked on Figure 4 Daily about how easy it was to give him their ideas and pitch him stuff.
On NXT now, I believe HHH over sees it all (like Vince does for the main show), and Dusty and Byron Saxton head up Creative with a few rookie writers under them (one of whom recently got called up to Smackdown).
They've also got two women wrestlers signed from Ireland that reported last month when the Performance Center opened, Rebecca Knox and Rachelle St. Claire. They're both indie wrestlers. Sheamus opening those floodgates.
aww sonufa...
All along!? Even your immediate family bought it?
It's interesting to me when I Iook at NXT and see almost none of the prototype smiling babyfaces that seemed to be all over the place several years ago. It was like if you had a good body and a nice smile you got to be on television. Now almost everyone in NXT is either completely insane or a total asshole. The only grinning prototype babyface I know of has become self-aware and is now a total prick.
Even the women are unique and identifiable based on more than just their bodies.

Generico is pretty much a smiling babyface, but it is awesome and feels natural and unforced. So is Xavier Woods. They only dick head face I can think of in NXT is Corey Graves, but it fits his character. He didn't change anything to turn face, he just kind of got pushed into it by fans and necessity.
But NXT is so good because everyone has a defined character and personality, which is also improving in WWE proper. But there are still plenty of guys on the main roster that are just....guys.

Bo Dallas is a smiling babbyface and is not self aware!
I don't know man. I watched him cut an awkward promo (as I assume all Bo promos are) about how it was Zayn's fault he lost the tag match and that it was probably just because he was nervous from being in the ring with such a big name as NXT Champion Bo Dallas.
I think they've responded to the hate by turning him into a parody. He's become so insufferably self-righteous and egotistical that no one could possibly like him.

That is an excellent question.
