Like parents? Like her mom, that wrestled while she was pregnant? WWE treats their kids better than that.
Unfortunately all that has done is show me that Vince has generally lost his TV swagger. He doesn't even power walk right anymore

Honestly, if they give Nakamura a decent push, I'd say Itami's fucked, because from WWE's perspective, the two likely overlap in the demographics they target quite a bit.
Which has been ass the past two weeks.

I'm more concerned about the WrassleGAF thread ratings, they're down down down. Whenever I tune in it's the same old stuff too from the same old posters. When are the development people from OT making their debut?
Probably. I'm still clinging to the faint hope that WWE might do something cool though
Lots of white people but only one asain allowed at a time?
Racist. Then, now, forever.

I don't like posting as much as I used to. Honest to god, the people calling opinions gimmick posts really turn me off.
of course "Vince McMahon" would say something like that, amirite

My shift to part time has hurt the ratings
When you start saying Finn Balor is 2 feet 2 inches tall as your justification for why he couldn't wrestle someone you're going to get that kind of response, especially when your name and avatar are Vince McMahon.
You can't say with a straight face that people don't gimmick post in WrassleGAF.

Haha that's why I referred to it as a rumor. It'd make zero sense for him to leave at this point. You could easily put him up against Joe, Finn, Nakamura, or AJ. Heck if TMDK signs, you have a 3-man stable right there.

See?
we all know the real reason he won't make it is because he's going to be A DEMON MAGGLE HAHAHA HE'S A LUNATIC DEMON! WOW WHAT A MOVE BY THE DEMON!

That would be my assumption, yes. If Kenta were a younger guy, I could see the argument they're playing the long game with him, but he's got a fair number of miles on him, himself. Nak is a better, more charismatic and marketable star, taller and reportedly better with his English.

I mean, the last two years were literally the worst case scenario.
This year, that would mean Reigns winning. so we'll see.
Even worse would be to bring back Bryan only for him to lose. In that scenario, ANYONE winning other than him would be a disaster, even Brock or HHH.

What are you saying big man hiding behind a mask?
Have we reached 2003 levels of shitty RAW? Has HHH put Spike Dudley in his new finishing move for 8 minutes straight recently, the dreaded 2003 sleeper hold of doom
HHH bloated as ever and what move did he try and get over as a new finish? A damn sleeper hold. A sleeper in 2003. It surprisingly and shockingly never quite caught on.

I think Vince considers "a person" by his height, and those 2 combined pretty much only equated to 1 fairly tall person
2003 HHH reign of terror feels fun compared to this

Hey, Ziggler tried to get a sleeper over in 2010
Here what was said:
I bet its just frustration on his end. It seems the shoulder recovery is going slow and what was going to happen before the injury. It seemed they were going to give him the win in the three way and give him the title in that special.
Now his shoulder recovery is going slow, he lost out at the title and these big signing are now all coming in. I bet he is frustrated right now.
I mean I don't doubt for a second he's frustrated.

Then he needs to come back and light a fire under everyone's ass. By the time he's ready Joe will be the champ then he can come in and get the title. Injuries happen and some wrestlers use it as a stepping stone.
I think it is interesting that people don't know whether to cheer or boo The New Day from one week to the next. There are crowds that want to like them despite the fact they are booked as heels. At the same time they're booked as heels, they're booked as a funny comedy act that could get very over with the younger crowd.
I think this is why we've had them against Jericho. Everyone likes Jericho and they're going to be heels in any segment against him.

I'm reading Bret's book as my wife got it for me for Christmas and I'm only 95 pages in but several things have stood out.
Booking the same thing week in and week out was a no a no and Bret and Keith made sure to keep a notepad of every booking choice during their Stampede tenure to ensure they never repeated a thing. And Bret loves to recount the about of times he had gay encounters, 95 pages in and we've had 3 attempts of men trying to get into his pants.
I guess no one bought Vince a notepad for Christmas.

God forbid they have more than one guy who can appeal to the Asian demographic.
See also: WWE's stance on having only one guy who can appeal to the Hispanic/Latino demographic and only one guy as the star of the company.
