How much farther do you think the NXT/WWN relationship will go? It's been pretty stagnant since it started

It's not the sort of thing to have short term results. You'll start seeing more fruits after a year or two when guys have been groomed for NXT by EVOLVE start getting signed.

Yeah, and that is honestly the best thing about it. It gives someone interested in wrestling a specific path if they want to go to WWE.
 
Mauro is pretty brilliant. He's doing really great stuff calling the action and getting across the psychology while also staying within the WWE world and making a joke every now and then. I think he can continue to be great even with Vince in his ear if he can keep that balance, same way JR was still great with Vince yelling at him.

It'll be a real testament to Mauro if he's able to pull it off. That said, I'm not convinced Vince is doing much yelling from gorilla during Smackdown these days.
 
Forreal. I need to know what he thinks.

he's probably the single most underutilized talent they have, ever since that all too brief heel "smoking R-Truth" run he had
The Awesome Truth ruled but Truth got Vince's attention somehow and the rest was history. Damn why didn't Vince let him do hi sthing.
Ziggler turned heeeeel
This is the what? 4th time? Cool. I guess he has no where else to go.

Added 1998 Triple H hair to the Fameasser, Sweet Chin Music, and occasional top rope X-Factor.

Had to complete the set.
I never thought of it this way.
 
If Sasha isn't ready for WM, they should bring in Asuka because as we've seen she is immune to fuck finishes. Ric will try to distract her and she'll punt his head into the fifth row.
 
Okada v Tanahashi was great but I think Nakamura v AJ was the better match
 
How's the new guy on commentary?

Pretty good. If you just listened to the show you would actually know what was going on in the ring now.

I liked Lawler saying "I used to sit next a guy called JR, is it alright if I call you MR?". Plus they aren't in constant shitting on each other mode like the Cole/JBL/Saxton team is.

What up wrestleGAF. Listened to PWITorch Live podcast and it was thoroughly entertaining. Some good stuff to be said all around.

In other news my HTPC is jacked up.
 
I'm watching Smackdown on USA right now only because of Mauro Ranallo.

He is just fantastic.

Glad that his energy from his NJPW on AXS broadcasts has translated over to Smackdown.

Mauro and King are actually pretty good together.

Agreed. I already want to replace Cole with him, as he reminds me of JR with his enthusiasm for what's going on spills through to the viewing audience, compared to Cole's "OH MYYYY!" and forced crap.

I'm still convinced Vince will find a way to ruin him over time. Holding out hope that I'm dead wrong.

Agree completely. King seems reinvigorated. He seems to enjoy playing off Mauro's serious and action-oriented style of calling the matches. Probably reminds him of working with JR.

Asuka vs
Santana Garrett
at NXT tapings. Might be just a one of match, but nice to see.

Holy shit. Hunter please. Sign her.
 
(Sasha pribably wasn't doing shit at Wrestlemania anyways)
 
If WWE was cool and smart, they'd have Luke Gallows come out to This Fire Burns at the Rumble. Get some people all pumped and shit for CM Punk only for it to be Festus.
