Bliss has probably been the most successful draft call-up after Balor, given she's got a clear character and currently has a belt. But yeah, she's quite green and still relatively new so I'm not gonna be shocked whenever Becky gets the belt back off of her.

In a year or two, she'll definitely be a lot better in the ring. She's just green, it's not a Nia Jax case where she's just plain bad in the ring.

Well, at least both Carmella and Bliss are improving. The last two weeks Nia Jax has looked as bad as she has ever looked at any point. She sounded corny as hell, couldn't pull off a heel-ish look if her life depended on it, and her offense revolves around running into people and hopefully they sell it.

I forget who else was even in that draft. Mojo and Balor, and someone else, I think. Mojo hasn't done much of anything other than GIF material.

Edit: American Alpha, who have done next to nothing, and are dying on the vine.

I really hope Joe doesn't show up until Rumble. Him coming out then, like AJ, and doing some damage would much more enjoyable to me. I also just don't know who Joe could face on Smackdown that would work well for his persona.

That woman who jobbed to Nia that some of you guys knew seems to have pissed some of her coworkers off. Personally I can't blame her for passing up such an opportunity, especially if it leads to her maybe getting signed some day or at least getting a chance for the women's tournament.

Carmella's improved a lot although she stills for some reason does her own finisher submission move while screaming like she's the one in pain.

American Alpha are losing steam because WWE likely won't give them the belts until Mania. They need the Revival for a feud.

 

[Serpentine]

while Joe on SD would be dope I feel like they need top credible faces more, 'cause it's just Ambrose, Ziggler, and part-time Cena

 

[wild wild rice]

Told y'all fucking marks weeks ago Carmella was improving but noooooooo

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Told y'all fucking marks weeks ago Carmella was improving but noooooooo

She's good as a heel (or at least when she's making a promo and getting heat because she still comes out to the sound of a pin dropping) getting people to hate her. In the ring she's still not much.

TNA bought by Anthem, Dixie gone

Also they're doing house shows in 2017

Jan 5 through 12, they'll do 12 episodes of Impact, a live One Night Only PPV, and additional material.

Improving and being good are not the same. Carmella has improved because she was literally at the ground floor, all you can do is get better. She's still terrible on the mic, terrible in the ring and has 0 crowd heat.

The bottle serving probably pays better.

I wonder who would go to a TNA house show.

 

[MG310]

Carmella's going to get Ellsworth to volunteer to be Nattie's tag partner against Nikki and Cena.

Kinda want to see Ellsworth catch a forearm from Nikki.

Wonder who the new lead writer will be with Lagana gone.

His contract's coming up in the first quarter, and they do need something to bribe him with to keep him...

Still surprised we lost Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney in the same year.

 

[DMczaf]

He goes back to wwe if he gets creative control on a new network show like edge and Christian

Heartbreak can manifest as a real thing. Once one went, the other was sure to go.

Might as well give Matt Hardy the book seeing as his stuff is the only thing anyone gives a shit about, at least for the short term,

Tonight SD is called the wild card finals

Did they bring the XFL back?

I'm on the road!

I'm at work tho

I'll post them before the end of the night!

 

[Angry Grimace]

That's because they tuned her character to play to the actresses' strengths instead of forcing some specific character.

But you swore to me that you saw Lex Luger press Hollywood Hogan over his head on Nitro in the SkyDome, brother. D:

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I don't understand the question, slightconfuse.

And you guys need to concede RAW to the people who swear Stephanie McMahon and the like are entertaining. You won't miss anything. Make your resolution today.

But don't you ever think maybe... you're the wrong one?

 

[Uno Venova]

Why is there Joe on SD talk?

 

[Hasney]

Why is there Joe on SD talk?

Bets on Joe attacking Cena tonight

Joe also Tweeted "You reap what you sow"

Low chance, but always fun to speculate.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Why is there Joe on SD talk?

Joe made a teasing tweet and WWE posted a video this week highlighting the fact Joe and Cena knew each other from the start of their careers.

 

[RBH]

But you swore to me that you saw Lex Luger press Hollywood Hogan over his head on Nitro in the SkyDome, brother. D:

That was the first wrestling match I remember seeing on TV!

And that was in Detroit, brother!

 

[Zach]

But don't you ever think maybe... you're the wrong one?

Always. I always try to understand what others see in things like RAW and Stephanie McMahon and Donald Trump. I try out liking things I dislike and disliking things I like in my head all the time. Always questioning why I think the things I think.

That was the first wrestling match I remember seeing on TV!

And that was in Detroit, brother!

How would you know? You weren't even there.

I feel like her theme music is partly at fault for her entrance silence. It's like anti-pop music.

What time is our Nitro Party tonight?

 

[Data West]

when kimberly page returns my calls

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I don't know who thought a blatant rearranging of an Iggy Azalea song would stand the test of time.

 

[Uno Venova]

Carmella crowd reactions are on par with Nia Jax, Alicia Fox, Natalya & Dana Brooke. Her music jsut needs to be loud enough to cover it up.

[Angry Grimace]

Why is there Joe on SD talk?

It's a reasonably high profile show - most of the titles are being defended tonight + John Cena is returning and they put up some promo material linking Joe and Cena. Samoa Joe's tenure in NXT is basically in a lame-duck period (he's not on any of the TV stuff for NXT) and he's assuredly getting a call unless they're planning to cut him (which they're not).

The thing we're discounting in saying "he's going to X brand" is that they could easily turn Joe face again without a problem. If I was the Booker Man, I'd have Joe come up and demolish Miz for the IC title immediately to establish credibility and make him a face rather than have the new guy work against Cena again. As weird as it sounds, Cena lost all of the feuds he had in 2016. The only PPV match he won was a tag match with Enzo & Cass vs. the Club.

Hell, I think the last match Cena had this year was losing clean to Dean Ambrose on SmackDown.

 

[whatevermort]

The Miz. I think having somebody who the Miz can't talk-intimidate is the thing. Just a fucking unstoppable brute. The wrestling equivalent of the thing in It Follows.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I'd pop for the theme. It's a huge guilty pleasure for me.
