I don't know if he can wrestle or not but this Jeet dude looks dope and i'm fully on board

I dunno, just can't tell he's indian enough. I don't think the audience will get that he's indian or foreign. Get him some of those Sabu pants and dress him up like Bret Hart in the Aladdin stage play.

 

[Man God]

TNA was giving AJ around 400k if I remember right.

WWE offered him a deal worth a tenth of that in NXT. He basically made about his TNA salary on the indies and NJPW these past years but had to work an insane schedule to do so. Now that he's basically rehabbed his image by not being in TNA he's worth that 400k or more.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I really want Roman to win somehow. I mean, the internet will revolt. If he got to throw out Bryan I'd probably die laughing.

Or just have Kane and Show do it lol!

 

[Heroman]

I assume you mean some other way of six figures because "over 100k" doesn't sound like much for a main roster wrestler.

IIrc most of guy on the main roster don't make 6 figures.

 

[Ithil]

You're thinking of NXT. Most people there make under six figures.

 

[somedevil]

The article I read didn't give a number. Basically it said ROH offered him 6 figures but the WWE gave him a blow away offer to sign with them.


TNA had him at 350,000 before his contract was over. They offered him over 200,000 and he left.

So the WWE offer had be above the 350,000 mark to be called blow away.

edit: AJ has said he wants money so he can retire well off. So this offer had to be at the level.

BJW's roster taking over every non-NJPW promotion is weird but I'm into it

lmao

At tonight's house show, Breeze lost via rollup to Darren Young in seconds, complained he wasn't ready, then lost again to Titus in under a minute

 

[Frecklestein]

Breeze's career has gone with the wind

 

[imBask]

I think at this point less people care about the NHL than WWE.

Hockey has been on the rise for years, it's pretty much at it's highest. It really depends on where you live though

They're just setting him up for a face turn

So you guys want AJ in the rumble, which he obviously won't win, so that his first impression is to be eliminated?

AH HA WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES, AJ

I dunno, just can't tell he's indian enough. I don't think the audience will get that he's indian or foreign. Get him some of those Sabu pants and dress him up like Bret Hart in the Aladdin stage play.

 

[UrbanDandy]

now this is some funny shit

More entertaining than the WWE

I was rooting for Miz to win but I thought puder was going to be a damn beast with hia background. Seems like he just couldn't keep himself grounded. It's just like being in a new job, even if you've done the work before, don't come off as arrogant or you'll be viewed as that guy.

That's kinda low on what he said about Bob.

Oh well. Holly will go down as having a better career than him. So I guess that makes him a winner compared to puder.

What's this in reference to?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Delved into the dark and disgusting world of super fans. Some weird shit that is. This chump that's dating Noelle Foley should be an inspiration to GAFers.

Oh he is... He is...

Better promo/build ups than most wrestler feuds lately IMO. lol

Lately as in the last 10 years.

There are no feuds or builds up. WWE matches are announced without fanfare.

So watching this Del Rio vs. Kalisto match...Mauro is great and glad to hear Jerry is a heel commentator. It suits him.

Did they do anything to explain why Lawler is a shithead again or is it "just because he is now"?

I don't watch wrestling like I used to nowadays, but I guess this must've happened when Mauro was introduced. I guess Smackdown needed a heel commentator and King does a better heel commentator than whatever he was doing the past years.

Having an announcer flip-flop is ridiculous. It's ten times worse than the flip-flopping done by wrestlers.

The only decent alignment shifts for announcers was when JR snapped and when Michael Cole went from being evil and annoying Michael Cole to regular and less annoying Michael Cole.

JR became a bad guy, if I recall, around the time of fake Diesel and fake Razor Ramon.

lol never know this

 

[Mr. Enigma]

In September 1996, Jim Ross went insane and brought in two dudes pretending to be Razor Ramon and Diesel. He was also a total ass to Vince on commentary before the whole thing was randomly dropped after about three months.

In March 1999, he went bonkers again, setting up his own announce table in front of Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. He had been off television for three months after another bout of Bell's Palsy. He kicked Cole in the nuts and had Dr. Death Steve Williams as his muscle, but the whole thing was dropped as the fans started cheering Ross and booing Cole. The whole thing was dropped kayfabe when Cole stepped aside voluntarily for Ross to call Rock vs. Austin at WM15.

 

[Striker]

The Ross stuff in '96 was strange, but if you watch it back he rips on the silly gimmicks Vince and Co. thought up with when Vince is sitting right there.

Daniel puder in tough enough.

He was shooting!

Not really but it sure did make for laughable moments. JR just can't be heel. The funny thing is, when he set up his own announcement table and started calling the matches by himself; yen years later they do it with Cole lol.

Alexa's been working on some stuff guys

 

[Browny]

Didn't she bust out a 450 every so often?

 

[klonere]

she did a weird Shooting Star thing with her knees that never looked right. Maybe she'll just start doing a regular SSP if she allowed to bust out modified Canadian Destroyers at house shows.

Alexa is lowkey the future of the NXT women's division if she keeps improving as fast as she is in ring. On the mic she's already there.

 

[Strax]

The NHL had a vote for the all-star game. Some guy who's not that great got voted in, so much that he was the 'captain' for his division's team in the all-star game. The NHL was none too pleased about this. His team (Arizona Coyotes) sent him down to their farm team, but he could still play I believe. The NHL asked him to bow out, he said "No thanks, I'd like to play!"

Then the NHL basically orchestrated a trade between Arizona and Montreal (who are in different divisions and conferences), so he was sent to Montreal and then Montreal demoted them to their AHL team (which is in St. John's, Newfoundland).

At this point, he can no longer participate in the NHL All-Star game. And his wife is due to have TWINS in about a week, and because she's so near to term she can't fly out to St. John's and because he's going to be expected to play... he'll probably miss the birth of his kids.

Just a scummy situation overall.

I got legit angry reading this.

Wow, that transition from the top rope is as smooth as it gets.

I need to start watching NXT.

[Recall]

Moves mean nothing

 

[klonere]

Moves mean nothing

Thankfully she's probably one of the best promos in the entire company and has fantastic charisma in general. Her in ring is the only thing that needs work before she really becomes a main event player and the gif shows she's on her way there!

 

[Xater]

Moves mean nothing

She started out a better worker than Eva, so she can probably actually get good.

 

[Hex]

Moves mean nothing

No, but being good on the mic to start and having charisma and the right looks to go with those moves seems to be a thing.

 

[Heroman]

Moves mean nothing

Moves mean everything really.

 

[klonere]

I mean Recall is kinda right, on the main roster moves seem to mean less than nothing nowadays.

Remember when Ambrose kicked out of the spear during the WHC match at Survivor Series. Boy what a moment.
