Obligatory "remember when" post of the day:
Remember when we thought it was going to be Cody vs Goldust at Mania as the tag team break up feud? Now it's MizDow.

Well that was bullshit, because
he's just after doing a match at the NXT tapings with no paint

I would have thought that you would go with the classic Heel last second KO in the WrassleGAF WWE fed.
Good. If it's every day, it's not special anymore.
Here is the problem with StarDust right now.
Why is he heel?
What is his character?
They have 3 hours of TV time but they never let guys fucking talk.
How can they have more time than ever but always cut segments for time?
Right now they have a match with A New Day this sunday that they have been building up to.
Name me a reason why there is any tension in this match?
So far its a spaceman and his formerly hypersexualzed crossedressing gimp of a brother vs the white perception of what black people are.

The worst thing is they have 20 writers to write this and none of the feuds mean anything.
Why would you want him to use it every time? It won't be special if it's the regular attire.

Just drop some acid and let the stars align. Hehehehehe.
This is a problem with every midcarder they have. It's just random meaningless matches every RAW/Smackdown on the undercard because Vince wasn't paying attention to how things were booked in the '98-'01 boom period.
He had a lot of vignettes and promos with Goldust and they fucking sucked and did the opposite of wonders.
i think the paint is not only an instant ticket to getting over with kids and adults, but it's also merch money just lying on the table
That's because they were written by WWE writers.

Stardust has a pretty good entrance theme song which I'm disappointed to see no one mentioning on this page.
Dude looks like a million bucks, he'll be over just fine. Again he'll use the body paint at PPVs probably.

It sounds like Manson's version of Tainted Love.

Why is there no news of when DB's coming back? I'm hoping it's because it's for a Rumble return but it's never wise to get your hopes up when it comes to him.
Because no one knows if/when it will happen. It's a nerve issue, which isn't simple.

Just get in there and replace that shit.
Stardust - Written in the Stars (16-bit): http://youtu.be/mu6vQFnOYsI
I think Stardust is a cool fun gimmick.
However this is the type of camerawork he gets:

Dunn is a cancer to this industry.

Man I am still riding the post NXT high as well as the holy balls Lucha Underground had their best ratings ever wave today. Then I come here and see people talking about "New Blood Rising" wrestlegaf may be my new favorite place on gaf. Fantastic! Now can someone explain the nips being cut out of Tank Abbots shirt?

Dude still needs surgery and still hasn't had it because he still thinks nerves just naturally heal
It's like how when somebody says "why is there no news of when Rey's coming back", only with that situation you can just quote Rey himself saying "someday soon there's going to be a cure for knee arthritis and I'll get my cartilage back"

Paige is a Total Diva now? Oh lord.
It doesn't work that way. He has gotten some strength back plus the doctor's tell him if he needs another surgery. Bryan doesn't make that decision.
Plus Rey is ready to go but he is not wrestling right now because he is mad at Vince for extending his contract when he was injured. So they are at an impasse right now.
Bryan wanted to have the surgery in July. WWE doctors told him to wait.
he got it dropped?
Yes. Because it is illegal. ADR also got it dropped. So I don't understand why Rey is "being held prisoner". He can quit. I also don't understand how they could extend his contract without his permission.

Yes, and also didn't have to sign a non-disparagement clause. So he got a big settlement, can say what he wants about them, and has no no-compete.
He had them over a barrel, basically. Because WWE hates having to settle and usually will take things to court even if they know they're in the wrong. So he must have had some serious dirt on them.

Independent contractor, therefore the no-compete clause can't stick just like anything else that would get laughed out of the average court. He and Del Rio got it dropped, and it's why they are where they're at right now.
Rey doesn't seem like a 'legal action' kind of guy. He saved his money well, but he always just seems like he's kind of... passive. I can't imagine he wants to leave WWE for CMLL/AAA for money more so for less money but less killing himself and destroying his knees.
I'm sure Punk had some intangibles in the contract related to merchandise or some general intellectual properties which sped up the process. Either Punk waiving those rights, or the WWE knowing they had no footing to waste in a legal battle.
My guess is Rey rather not have the contract torn up, as he is likely collecting a respectable paycheck.
Nah
Now show the crowd shots while there's a backstage segment playing, the constant move misses, the shaky cam, the nonstop zooming in and out...
And that's just his directing. We won't get into what a piece of shit person he is.
