I don't think Albert yammering on about fighting spirit is too bad, I like that he acknowledges what they've done outside of the WWE, though him making shit up irks me a little. On the other hand Riley having to compare wrestlers to football players because he doesn't know any veteran wrestlers really gets on my tits.

How about when he was talking about Devitt in New Japan and then said he won multiple Triple Crown Championships?

 

[Sephzilla]

Alex Riley is worse than Cole, JBL, or King because can't even use the fallback of Vince being in his hear to justify being so shitty.

 

[FlammableD]

Fuck the Rumble, it's PROGRESS weekend motherfuckers.

I won't post Havoc's promo so as not to cause Stro to get an aneurysm.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

haha have you seen this on reddit this morning?

https://www.youtube.com/user/007[B]zezima[/B]/videos

this guy edits Total Divas just to keep the Paige segments

That name gave me a Runescape flash back as for the rest of it...

 

[JavyOO7]

riley is probably going to get fired after wrestlemania is over. i get this 'cringe' feeling from those that have to announce with him when they are on the air. the last two times i've watched the wwe raw pre show for instance, stanford and graves looked like they wanted to kill themselves hearing riley rant about something.

 

[Data West]

I'm going to need some context a name.

I think it's Bruni Sagnite aka Volador Jr's wife but I'm not sure.

That company has no shame. They employ a bunch of cunts and use Nazi imagery.

 

[bean breath]

I was away from the community at the time, can someone paraphrase Strobogo's take on the Charlie Hebdo attacks for me?

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Like I said, him making shit up is really stupid.

Aw, poor Axel. NXT starting out pretty good so far. I hope he has a nice stay at NXT to help people get over and also take out some cards out of his deck, similar to how Tyson Kidd did, in order to show us a new angle of him.

Boots has all the flippy indie gifs.

I think it's more of a Titus O'neil run.

However, if it's not....hopefully he gets rid of the nipple pulling gesture.

Got off work early so ima catch up on Raw NXT and then Smackdown. If I never post again I'm probably in that weird state the girl from the ring was in after watching the tape.

God help this thread if I win the avatar Rumble.

One thing I forgot to mention, and haven't seen mentioned about NXT house shows:

They have their own Jeremy Borash. I didn't catch his name, but all he does is hype up the crowd between segments, he's not even a ring announcer, we got the regular TV ring announcer.

Are you kidding? By the time Daniel Bryan is inducted into the Hall Of Fame, he will be called The G.O.A.T.

If they push the acronym more then I could maybe get behind it.

I am going to announce my intent to return to OTs in February.

So quiet you could hear a seagull.

Try harder next time Stro.

 

[avengers23]

Every diva has their moments where they're given stupid shit to do or fade into the background. WWE can't book women effectively outside of a title run or feud.

FACT.

No disagreement there other than a matter of timing. It might be a while before Paige gets paired with the likes of Khali or Hornswaggle, but Bayley won't get any better treatment but pairings with freaks once she joins the main roster.

 

[Data West]

Diva is still like the worst fucking name for a division of wrestlers. People shit on superstars as opposed to wrestlers but that makes sense. Divas doesn't until that fucking tv show. From the place that brought you vixens.

Is that before or after Rusev does his time with Khali or Hornswaggle? They don't know how to book monster "foreign" wrestlers for too long either.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Emma is one of the best wrestlers in the women's division and they treat her like shit too.

I've been saying this for fucking YEARS. It's degrading.

The Divas belt looks like a trinket, not a Championship title

The god damn NXT women's title looks far better

All your favorite female wrestlers from NXT? I hope you'll enjoy them on Total Divas

I hope you enjoy them jobbing to AJ for a fucking year long shit feud

I hope you enjoy them as a valet for male wrestlers they're probably better than

I hope you enjoy their comedy romance gimmick

I hope you enjoy two and a half minute matches

It's said a lot about some of the guys; "Don't know why you'd want to leave NXT" but for the women, it's blatant that outside of a larger viewing audience and more exposure and a slightly bigger pay each week, you've got NOTHING waiting for you on the main roster. You're eye candy.

 

[JavyOO7]

'Diva' sounds really insulting. How hard is it to just call them women? Regal even said 'divas' on the latest episode of NXT instead of women. =/

edit: The above post is on the money. And correct. FACT!

The fucking brainwashing is getting to Regal

And yes Divas has always been a terrible moniker to use.

You don't understand -- it's a British thing.

 

[strobogo]

Are you sure Regal didn't say "Divers"?

 

[Perspicacity]

Does the winner of the Avatar Rumble get to make the February thread? I'm so confident in my pick that I'm gonna go ahead and start making one regardless.

The winner of the Avatar Rumble has the privilege of getting to keep his avatar unlike everyone else involved.

It's 2015 and Takayama is about to have a deathmatch with Atsushi Onita...

The WWE doesn't use the term wrestler anymore. It's sports entertainer. If you hear wrestler during WWE shows, it's someone's mistake.

Men are superstars, women are divas. That stuff is company mandated.

The Divas belt is awful. And the Divas are an afterthought. That they count Rosa Mendes among their number is evidence of how irrelevant they are.

 

[rrc1594]

That Kane, Matt Hardy and Lita stuff was dark as shit holy crap.

 

[Perspicacity]

They don't say wrestler because wrestling is what our fathers did

I was feeling a little bleh and tired and I had to go back several pages for a Paige gif. Pretty disappointing. Maybe things will go better tomorrow....
