I know a lot of people here like Stardust but I'm not feeling it.

Goldust worked because he had more of a focused character. He was an overly flamboyant bisexual. WWE can't get away with that kind of character anymore so Goldust is just "weird" now. But Goldust is a classic so there's some sort of context to base his character on. Stardust just kind of runs around and says things in attempt to seem weird, but it doesn't click with me. "Weird" isn't a character. There has to be more focus. Until Cody finds it I will not be a big fan of the Stardust character. Still love Cody regardless though.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Sure why not.

I want it read to me before bedtime. ^ This'll be my face when I hear it.

oh no the last ramone died

aw man

Love the theme but I'm starting to feel incredibly annoyed with the way he cuts promos.

Damn

RIP

Layla ain't attractive, dispute over

are we still pretending that Stardust is good?

Nu uh, I'm a total babyface






anyway Jericho was been complete shit

Spoiler

on the mic

since coming back, probably should've stayed gone

Friends, I think we have to section Cure. I don't want to say it, but I think too much Eva rots the brain

Tyson Kidd is an AMAZING shithead. Where was this all these years?

I think they've just done the simple thing of booking to his strengths to hide his weaknesses. NXT has done a lot of that lately!

 

[Data West]

Anderson and Zbyszko teaming up in WCW makes me think their gimmick should have been Upper Middle Class suburban dads dealing with the ruffians and their loud music(entrance themes.) Like they should have come out to this.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Maybe she wasn't corpsing after re watching the interview. =p

But I remember her from her first time out until now and she's improved quite a bit.

That's Devin. She's cute but a little monotone and bland. Veronica has only made one appearance so far. Miss her.....

I'm not a fan of Stardust since Cody is destined for greater things. Stardust is just a holding pattern and it sucks....

 

[Data West]

We hate Stardust now?

edit: Xseed and their smut peddling getting called out by Huffington Post, lol. Just tell them that everyone is 1000 year old demon.

Kenta's officially in, friends.

Congrats to him for making it this far. I'm sure there will be a lot of bumps given WWE's track record with Asian stars, but they're starting off right.

 

[spindashing]

That is great news. I wonder if:

a) He will keep the name.
b) He will keep the moveset.

 

[Ithil]

WWE.com straight up calls him Kenta. Either it's a mistake and they meant KENTA, or maybe they're thinking the non-capitalised version can be his name.

Should call him Kobashi and confuse a new generation of fans.

Well Punk and D-Bry stole both his finishers, so who knows.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Not seeing any success for this brah in The E. he'll spend a year plus in NXT making 20K and no friends. Ultimately to be injured by Jack Swagger shortly after making his main roster debut.

I think it's just going to be Kenta with the small caps going forward.

 

[Browny]

The Japanese Random Name Generator will be getting some use soon... as will the Random Finisher Generator...

"Hara Gonshiro with the 450 splash!" (Or not...)

Great, now it'll be even harder to get to NXT live tapings.

 

[Hasney]

Hey, you better actually get in quick. If they get Devitt too, you've got no chance.

gimmick Cody >>> Cody.

he's already more over with the Stardust character than he was without it. He gets over with gimmicks, and then turns normal and bland again and slowly slips down the card.

 

[Alucard]

Why not start the weekend off with some pro wrestling positivity?

Speaking of Kenta...

They should just let him use the GTS. It's not like Punk is going to use it anytime soon.

Will make the CM Punk chants louder and make the uninformed think he's stealing from or mocking Punk.

 

[Mengetsu]

Yesssss. As a storyline im ready for Ambrose to get his hands on the betrayer Seth!

Also

I have a feeling a guy like Kenta would prefer to come up with something new or at the very least, something that hasn't been used in WWE for a while. Death Valley Driver perhaps?

 

[Data West]

8 years strong

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Oh my God at that hair

A look at Bo Dallas 14-Bo win streak.

I can't wait for him to be at his 21st win and he open challenges anyone to have none other that the beast come out and break his undefeated streak. Heyman will brag about how he broke two streaks and that the championship is next.

Awful lot of minorities jobbing in there...

 

[Ithil]

They had a terrific series of matches in FCW, ending with a 30 minute Iron Man match (and one more FCW title match way later), this will be great.

 

[avengers23]

Why's Bo wet?

He saw how well it works with Roman Reigns and the ladies of Tumblr.

 

[Mengetsu]

Awful lot of minorities jobbing in there...

WWE copying TNA again, Sanada has been great so they go get Kenta smh

He will be a joke character in wwe watch, he will never be taken to a main event title level,
this guy will be handed the NXT title thats about it.

WWE will never put over that guy as the face of the WWE.

Hope you realize this is all leading to Goldberg's return.

 

[Phatmac]

Good thing for Kenta is being in the NXT division. If booked right he could have an easier transition to the main roster. I doubt he'll be a huge star but it'll be nice to see some Asian wrestlers in the wwe.

I think he tops out at an intercontinental title or two. Sin Cara never got that far so I think he and his Japanese fans will see it as a win.

 

[Mengetsu]

I'm ok with this outcome as well.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

The possibility of KENTA being in the main event are slim at best. The possibility that he'll be booked competently are even lower

 

[Joeki11a]

Wouldnt be great if they actually push him to be a main event star?, like literally feuding with the big names in WM matches vs Daniel Bryan?, maybe 3 way with returning Punk? Kenta actually wins, DB CM would gladly job.

Why are they even signing him if is not for that?, whats the point?.

Is "top guy in the company and face of wrestling" the only measure of success?

As long as anyone is not jobbin like Sandow or Miz im ok with it.

Well with KENTA, and most likely Devitt and Steen in NXT there will be fights over getting tickets for that show.

Plus for the G1 fans its seems its on Nicovideo and some one is claiming it accepts American credit cards now.

[slightconfuse]

John Cena and Japanese fan

Catching up on Smackdown. The sexual tension between Stardust and Goldust is electric.

Bo promo. "Handicapable" give the man all the belts.

It won't be hard to get tickets. And Steen is not a draw. He'll be lucky to get Bull Demspsey level heat. NXT runs house shows you should be good, brah.
