NXT could put on a show of nothing but jobbers fighting jobbers

Isn't that what they're already doing?

no? are you serious?

 

[newdayrocks]

Ricky Starks apparently shows up on tonight's NXT? He was great in the Inspire Pro Wrestling event I saw several months ago.

 

[DMczaf]

Welp, another month without Wrasslin OT

Let's see what the NFL thread is doin

I think he was one the guys that Enzo and Cass fought and probably the one that took that sick bump to the outside.

 

[Heel]

I'll never understand why the heck they put Prince Puma in a mask. Hopefully they fix this grave error by folding in a mask vs. mask match at some point.

 

[TheStruggler]

AJ vs Miz was a pretty good match, good flow to it.

Anyone watch the WWE Network on an Android device? Did the update just straight up break the app for you? I've tried on both my tablet and phone (and reinstalled the app on my tablet) and I can't get any video to play. The free videos (like the New Day interview with Cole works) but watching any Network videos I get the preroll ad then just an error popup.

I had on and off again issues with the app (Galaxy Note 4). I ended up deleting it because it would crash too often when I tried to use it. I never had a failure to play videos. Just freezing issues. On your tablet can you login through a web browser?

Corey Graves and his disdain for Mojo Rawley warms my soul.

Just started watching this weeks episode and I laughed when he went after Mojo. I don't like Mojo much. He seems like a waste in the ring from what I've seen and it's sad Ryder has to take to pins to protect his lame ass. On the point of commentary it's much nicer not listening to Cole and JBL shouting catchphrases and garbage at me the whole match. The smackdown crew is the #1 team. I really hope they have them for WM (they won't). Todd seems a bit vanilla, but he's better than whats his face on raw (can't think of his name).

Was Seth ever a face?

I always considered heel Seth as a face. He was the white ranger at Summerslam and I recall him getting great pops that weekend.

 

[ramoisdead]

That gif where Vince McMahon is oogling at the bodybuilders should get updated with nothing but Braun Strowman at this point.

Nope. If I go to the website it says to watch you have to download the app, if you try to request the desktop site it lets you through, but you need Flash to play any videos.

He has a pretty great look to be fair.

 

[DMczaf]

Seth's booking is absolutely weird.

He was booked with some of the worst fucking finishes in WWE champion history, yet most of his matches had hot crowds since he was putting on a fucking show...until the fuckery ending happened and the crowd went "...what? goddamnit"

The best thing about Seth Rollins, IMO is he could work a match where you knew it would have a shenanigans ending and he would still make it entertaining. You could flat out know that they were working to get to an angle, but he'd make it work.

Agreed. It just looks dumb.

Saw the first episode of LU last week and enjoyed it...very FnP. I really like Havoc and Mil

...and Ivelisse.

 

[Kaladin]

Which is a better pick up point if I haven't watched NXT in a couple weeks? Should I go back to Jan 13th or start with last week's?

 

[Shadow780]

Going to be weird having watched all tapings up until Takeover Dallas from now on.

Still better than RAW most likely.

 

[somedevil]

Well you can watch the women's battle royal on the 13th to see how they got the new number 1 contender.

After that start at last weeks.

 

[JavyOO7]

I'd watch on the episode where women's battle royale happened and go from there.

That wasn't Havoc. That was Son of Havoc.
I'm not sure we'll ever get to see the actual Havoc.

Here he is chilling with his homeys Sami and Adrian.

 

[Man God]

I love Apollo Crews. Only thing I'd change is make his standing moonsault his set up move.

I'd do the same change for Naomi as well, the Rear View screams mid match, but no one cares about her right now.

I installed the WWE app on my 50 dollar Kindle Fire and so far it hasn't crashed yet. It puts the video automatically on landscape mode and the picture is okay seeing as how that tablet is 600p res.

 

[Man God]

I just noticed 1993 Raw is missing from the PS3 app. This shit happens from time to time and is annoying. The episodes are there if you search for them, but the year isn't on the list anymore.

has anyone found any hidden gems on the network that isnt listed or found easily unless via search?

Any vignette involving Sid and a car is going to be gold.

Meng vs. Chris Benoit at Slamboree '97 is a fun little match that doesn't get much talk.

 

[Jopie]

Like most people, I spend a lot of my free time coming up with cool tag teams for The Miz. So far, these are my two favorites.

The MizTake, a tag team with the Undertaker. Crossing them would sure to be a Miztake for any other tag team.

And a seasonal treat, which sees The Miz teaming up with Y2J to form ChrisMiz.

Now back to dreaming up new ideas for the second best heel, and most criminally underutilized superstar in the company.

 

[Heroman]

The dirtiest player in the game...and Ric Flair.

Gross

[Fox318]

If Vince was there he would leave as soon as he saw the height of the people in the room.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Is Canyon Ceman a kayfabe name?

 

[Man God]

I love Ric Flair's new role as early 90's Harley Race. That would make his daughter either Sid Vicious or Big Van Vader, take your pick.

 

[UberTag]

Dude... Canyon Ceman is a legendary beach volleyball player. He won a silver medal at the World Championships back in '97. How dare you not respect his legacy!

 

[Mahonay]

That picture needs to be in the dictionary paired with one of the secondary meanings of "white".

 

[somedevil]

This sounds like an interesting idea:

Bret getting shook

Hart had retired as an active wrestler around 1963, but Stomper kept goading him to come out of retirement. Eventually they had a series of three matches in early 1969, culminating with the fight to the finish on February 7 in Calgary. Stomper not only went over, but broke Stu’s arm. Since the stories of Stu in the dungeon were well known around the city and throughout Eastern Canada, the idea that he injured the toughest man in Western Canada made people see Stomper as an almost unstoppable force. The memories of this program were so strong that 14 years later, when Bret had become a popular singles star, the storyline of his breaking Stu’s arm was used for a strong drawing program with Stomper.

Bret Hart, who was 11 at the time of the Stomper vs. Stu program, had vivid memories of watching his father get his arm broken. He said he had nightmares about The Stomper, remembering in particular an interview where he said he was going to come down to their house, and tear it apart, brick-by-brick, tear his father limb from limb, and even threatened to drag his mother out of the house, bring her onto the interstate and give her a piledriver.

Stu wore the cast at home, although Bret noted that when his father thought no one was around, or when he needed to cook, he took it off. Then one Saturday afternoon, coming out of a Corvette, in front of the house, was The Stomper. Bret didn’t know if he was going to make good on his promise. But his mom greeted him, hugged him, and handed him a check.

“I still wasn’t sure what was going on, but I never viewed wrestling in quite the same way after that.”

[slightconfuse]

Stomper story in this weeks observer is great. Prime Meltz

He took a job working at the Knox County jail, a job he held for the next 15 years. The most famous story regarded a tough fugitive, who had beaten up two officers badly when they tried to arrest him. Archie, at this point well into his 50s, said, “I’ll get him.” As the story went, Stomper went to arrest him, choked him half to death, and brought him in. Another story from the period was someone he was taking in, who knew exactly who he was, started arguing with him and said, “You wouldn’t be so tough without that gun belt.” Archie took off the belt and quickly ended that confrontation.

 

[somedevil]

Well some bad news:

"Regarding rumors that WWE purchased “Subconscious,” those in WWE state that is not correct and Nakamura is expected to be given new music"

Hope its at the AJ Styles level and not Samoa Joe first theme level.

 

[JavyOO7]

CFO$ does a good job with music for the most part. Joey Samoey's first theme was so bad it was good.

 

[Verendus]

I don't understand how AJ got a good theme, and that one diva at Royal Rumble (The Boss?) has a good theme too, yet there are wrestlers like Ambrose, Rollins, and Cesaro running around with terrible themes.

How does this happen? Why do they do this? Did someone not listen to the music they were assigning to these superstars? Why did Swagger get to keep such awesome music when he's a jobber?

Please change the themes.

Nothing wrong with Rollins butt rock sir.

AJ's theme had me doing the brie headphones gif when I first heard it

 

[Lemmy Caution]

How would y'all feel about Apollo Crews and Nia Jax as your next NXT Tag Champs? Turn them heel and have them steal the belts from American Alpha.

Most of the CFO shit sucks aside from Owens and Rollins.
