Team Dead On Arrival: Daniel Bryan, Kurt Angle, Sting, Kevin Nash

IT'S A NEW PAGE, YES IT IS

That shit is cringe worthy

Team Backstage Politician: HBK, Cena, HHH, and Hogan

 

[Ithil]

I especially laughed when HHH and Steph were out there dancing with the New Day, then like two weeks later Stephanie had a backstage segment where she shat all over them and made them look like geeks.

There's comedy potential to be had in edible illegal weapons.

"He's eating the evidence before the ref can see it, that's genius right there Maggle!"

But it still ends in DQ because the ref sees the chocolate remnants around Cesaro's mouth and the foil wrapping he couldn't quite throw out the ring in time.

I've never had a Toblerone.

Hand in your Cesaro fan card.

 

[newdayrocks]

Catching up on the last month or so of NXT. I dig Carmella, but they gave her way too much offense against Nia (Not A Monster) Jax.

Hand in your Cesaro fan card.

But I just had it laminated

Is there anything that doesn't make New Day look like geeks?

Team Better than Kanyon:

Nice.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I thought being geeks was new day's "thing"

It is...and that segment was only like a minute long anyways. Just a random backstage segment.

 

[Gonzalez]

Is this a new detective show from USA?

 

[somedevil]

From the Triple H conference call. He basically announced what will be happening on the taped episode of NXT that happens after the Takerover special:

Fatal Four Way:

Jordan & Gable vs. The Vaudevillians vs. Hype Bros. vs. Blake & Murphy

Elias Sampson debut

Plus Sami Zayn will wrestle though people are not sure it will be for the Takeover Special or the NXT episode taping after.

 

[jmdajr]

I found a great use for this in OT

Thanks!

Doing comedy =/= being geeks.

Well at least we get to see them in London. Should be a good match.

May it serve us all well.

what about video game references and vine memes?

Alexa Bliss is a national treasure, you guys.

I liked her sparkle fairy look, but her current incarnation is superb.

I wonder if it's too edgy for her to go by Alexa Bitch. That'd be dope.

Man I watched that Edge/Hardy rivalries episode. Shit was intense. I missed this entire era (left 2001 before returning this year).

Kudos to Matt for finding a way to remain professional at the end of the day and working with Edge to create those great matches.

There's a VERY weird video Matt posted somewhere as it was happening where he used a cardboard cutout of edge and ate cereal. It's fuckin weird. Both he and Kevin Sullivan should both be commended for staying professional in their work. Sullivan had his wife taken from him by the dude he was working with and stayed professional and didn't beat the shit out of him, even though he had every right to be incensed.

'The Bitch' Alexa Bliss

Book it.

 

[newdayrocks]

But then we couldn't get stuff like "Blissed off" in her promos. I think her facial expression take care of the bitch part.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Bliss is wonderful.

 

[jmdajr]

Alexa Bliss is pleasant.

 

[FallingEdge]

she has the best facial expressions

 

[klonere]

Her promo this week was great. She might be legitimately one of the best talkers in the company already. So natural, zero hesitation, believable and er, super hot ofc.

 

[Ithil]

what about video game references and vine memes?

I don't mean geek as in nerd, I mean geek as in jobber/loser.

[Menome]

I think Alexa Bliss is probably the best female heel on the NXT roster. She fights well, she's got the attitude and promo skills. Out of the recent contenders for the belt, she's the most apt.

Alas, I think it's getting fast-tracked to Nia Jax to then be relinquished to Eva Marie in a switcheroo.

 

[Browny]

This. Reminds me of heel Rock in that over exaggerated way.

Also this is an ideal time for a Roman gif, just to bring things back down...

[Deleted member 47027]

I don't particularly feel she's either good or bad in-ring, but her persona is good, and that shit ain't easily teachable. I'm sure she will excel with time.

 

[Ithil]

She's only like 23 and it takes some people a hell of a long time to "get it" in ring. Rusev was boring as shit in NXT, but something clicked with him after he got called up and now he's great. Even Sasha was really nothing in the ring for a long time til suddenly some time last year she just got it.

Give her another year or so, Bliss is gonna be big (well not literally she's about 4 feet tall).

 

[Fox318]

I honestly think everybody except for Curtis Axel and Cody Rhodes have the talent to be stars in WWE.

Great facials, pixar/10

Cody had gold when he was Undashing.

 

[FallingEdge]

cody was over as fuck during the Authority angle with D.Bry

they fucked up so hard

 

[Menome]

I honestly think everybody except for Curtis Axel and Cody Rhodes have the talent to be stars in WWE.

I think he needs to let Star Dust run its course until no later than Wrestlemania. It's been entertaining, but it doesn't really have the legs to be a long-term prospect. An intervention, a bump on the head from Titus O'Neill, hit by micro-waves from outer space. Just something to kayfabe-change him back into the moustached wonder.

 

[Fox318]

Cody Rhodes is the one person who should go work somewhere outside of WWE.

If WCW was still around he'd be the perfect case of somebody who needs to make a switch.

 

[Mahonay]

Man that Rhodes vs Shield ending at Battleground 2013 got me so fucking hype. Feels bad to think how both Dustin and Cody are jobbing full time now.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Hell no, Undashing Cody Rhodes was money

 

[Kornflayx]

Suited up Cody against the Authority at the end of 2013 was fucking amazing. I want that Cody back

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Kane/Bryan/Rhodes Bros vs Shield were literally the glue that kept me watching those Raws.

 

[Dick Justice]

David Shultz shows Vince McMahon his gun collection

A real shoot at 4:30

The fuck? He seriously pointed a loaded gun at the two of them for real?

 

[Perspicacity]

I would assume that Stardust is worth more money to the company than any previous version of Cody Rhodes.

 

[Kornflayx]

I would assume that Stardust is worth more money to the company than any previous version of Cody Rhodes.

But why would I, as a fan, care what version makes the company more money, if that version is a shitty jobber who doesn't entertain me?

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I honestly think everybody except for Curtis Axel and Cody Rhodes have the talent to be stars in WWE.

Cody has the talent, he's just the most obvious "they're never going to see anything in him" guy who isn't currently hurt or jobbing endlessly. He's better off going to New Japan or ROH where he'll actually be used decently.

Any chance of WWE knowing what the fuck to do with him ended the second they took Stardust/Goldust (a Mania feud both went public for years saying they wanted more than anything and Goldust going as far as to say he'd retire afterward if it happened because it'd be the only way he could see him going out on top)...had it last a month, and end 6 weeks before Mania with a dud PPV match that ended abruptly.

Anybody who saw that and still thought there was anything WWE couldn't fuck up, even something that giftwrapped, is both optimistic and insane. Both beyond repair. And before someone goes "it was a dud feud": they keep a million dud feuds going regardless of crowd reaction after the 5th match, let alone the 1st match. If there was ever a time you keep a dud feud going, it was that. Cody and Dustin would have loved it, and fans would have loved the Mania match ending assuming Goldust's retirement was acknowledged. But nope, instead cut short. Meanwhile Rusev/Lana/Summer/Dolph got 4 months to shit up TV.

You shouldn't care
