Hopefully Naomi winning the title will make someone somewhere realize they gave her moveset to Mojo Rawley.
Edit: worst case scenario. Paige finally has a match where she can show her offense and viciousness. It steals the show, makes everyone go "oh, that's why she is a champion!". Then Naomi hit one move and wins.

Everyone's afraid of pissing Sblargh off.
Friend dream, I wish that were the case - I've purchased every New Japan iPPV since King of Pro-Wrestling in October 2012...I don't even want to think how much that has cost me at $15-$25 a pop.
Ditto, but only since Destruction last year. I'm going to be dropping $150 on the G1 package deal in about a month.

She was super impressive in her match so there's that. I'm hoping the irish dancer gimmick won't carry over to the main show, but..
At least she's really good. Maybe they'll realize she'll never get over with that and have her just straight beat people up until she's really hot and then turn her heel and pair her up with Paul Heyman.

"The Last Real Man" Bull Dempsey just seems really average with an even worse look. can talk ok i guess
This game looks like a lot of fun.

Yep. Other than that I am really impressed how NXT has restocked their talent. Alexa Bliss, Becky Lynch, Veronica, Vaudevillains, Kalisto, Tyson Kidd. Still missing Corey Graves though. El Local will never wrestle for The E again after his takeover performance.....
All depends on HHH I suppose.

I'm not sure, it sounds different and nothing like the Limp Bizkit theme (even a badly edited) or even WCW/TNA Knockoff version of it.

Yeah, well, I'll say this for NXT, they are very in tune with the audience and are often willing to adapt when something is not working, so hopefully they'll notice the backlash on this and adjust accordingly.
Still, why did anyone think this was a good idea?

holy shit, Becky Lynch is even more sterotypically Irish than Sheamus. However, while it'll be tough, i think Creative can top it with Devitt

Nah. Naomi hasn't used the rear view as a finisher in a long while. She's used the split-legged moonsault and the Scorpion Death Drop lately. And it's not even that I don't want Naomi with the belt. If anyone in the main roster will take it from Paige, I'd want it to be her because I think she has a chance to be really good with more experience. I just don't think Paige needs to lose the belt anytime soon. Longer one person holds it, the bigger a deal it, or the person holding it, would become. Especially if it is consistently defended as it has been, with even some sort of attention paid to it, which again it has been.

One of my niche turn ons is a perky, red headed Irish girl who holds your hand through the entire day of bar hopping when studying abroad and continue to think about her years later as the one that got away....
Bionic, where's that avi?
So this Becky Lynch lady looks exactly like that. I should probably watch NXT then...

That was the most interesting Sheamus has ever been, as far as I'm concerned. It took the Muppets.

WWE already blocked your video, I assume it was this one?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmn4qUxFj-Y
I remember the first WWE DVD I bought was Backlash '02, they dubbed this over Taker's entrance, but they fucked it up and the rest of the DVD had the audio off by a second.

There's this one male pornstar who looks eerily like Sheamus. Friend Plywood might know who I'm talking about.
I thought Silas Young in ROH was doing "The Last Real Man" tag?
Random Irish Name Generator, just to finish off the gimmick...
Finbar Malone...

He is, but Bull Dempsey looks to be the same kind of character. Hell, at one point he said "I am the Last of a Dying Breed" and halfway through that i thought he'd just take it wholesale
Silas Young has a better look though. Though i wish he'd bulk up more or something

I refuse to believe WWE signed Devitt just to slap him with some stereotypical Irish gimmick. At the worst I can see him being introduced by Sheamus as "me oirish cousin, Fergal!", but nothing nearly as heavy handed as Becky Lynch's gimmick.
Yep, and Eddie Kingston is 'The Last of a Dying Breed'. I'd rather Kingston or Silas in that spot - NXT definitely needs a real bruiser, but there's something off about Dempsey. He wasn't terrible in the ring or anything and his promo was OK, but something about his face doesn't fit the gimmick. Too young looking.

I have the biggest hopes that they let Steen into that position... He's a great brawler, and is still a big guy (compared to the current crop of Zayn, Breeze, Neville, Bryan) - but he's not Brodus fat.

Just realised why I can't take Bull Dempsey seriously...he looks like Shane Hagadorn.

Kenta Kobashi vs Jun Akiyama - (NOAH 2000/12/23)
Mitsuharu Misawa & Kenta Kobashi vs Jun Akiyama & Yuji Nagata - (NOAH 2002/02/17)
Kenta Kobashi & Kotaro Suzuki vs Masao Inoue & Yoshinobu Kanemaru - (NOAH 2002/07/05)
These three matches mark one of the lowest points of Kobashi's career. After years of performing at the top level, his body was an absolute wreck, but pride and a burning desire to leave the fledgeling NOAH promotion in good stead meant he carried on, in spite of the debilitating pain he felt in his knees. The match with Jun Akiyama was billed as 'The Last Great Battle of the 20th Century' and, while it certainly lived up to the promise, it came at a cost and not long after Kobashi went on hiatus to rehabilitate his knees. Thirteen months later he returned to the ring, tagging with old rival & partner Misawa against Akiyama and New Japan's Yuji Nagata. The crowd were hot as hell for this match, but in the midst of it Kobashi collapses and realises that he returned too soon to the top level of competition. Another five months in rehab until, on the 5th of July 2002, Kenta Kobashi returns once more to the ring. This time he wrestles in the opening match on the card with little fanfare for his return. This time his knees hold and, slowly, steadily, he builds himself back up in the ring. Another six months pass without incident and this difficult portion of Kobashi's career is finally over, as he prepares himself to enter a new chapter, do battle with his greatest rival one last time and begin one of wrestling's legendary title reigns.

So WrestleGAF: what is your favorite signature/finishing maneuver, and which wrestler (alive or dead) performed it the best in your eyes? The reason I'm asking this now is because I just thought of it, and ForeignGAF is up and wide awake to be able to give answers immediately for once. 
I'll post my own when I wake up in the morning.

For me it's got to be 'The Western Lariat', by Stan Hansen;
Simple, effective and it looks like it hits like a ton of bricks.

Spear + Jackhammer.
So I post new videos of promos or matches I like every day. I post 'fave five looks,' and get no sold. I post some underrated promos that I enjoy and get no sold. I try to talk about wrestlers who don't get discussed much on here, and I get no sold. The only time I don't get no sold is when I post a strong opinion. I let people post what they want to post and don't shit in them for it as their opinion because it's their opinion and they're entitled to it. I may mock it, but I don't tell them they're 'bringing this community down' or some melodramatic bullshit like that.
How about YOU fuck off. How about you contribute something worthwhile to this thread instead of fucking generic praise that goes nowhere? How bout you learn to fucking start an engaging conversation? How bout you don't tell people what they can or can not fucking post and how about we stop prescribing to this idea that people are fucking 'gimmick posters' because they don't have a posting style that goes with the wrestling gaf agenda?
Would you like to fucking hand out flyers about what we can and can not post?
Holy shit fuck waking up to that. So disrespectful. I'll argue all day with Ithil, but at least he treats my opinion as something other than a 'gimmick.'

I don't know, maybe Sblargh genuinely likes my posts.
Another thing I don't understand is if he's calling out posters who he feels are detrimental to the thread, how does he overlook a piece of scum like Strobogo?
