Again, I really think that's less the guys/girls themselves and more how they're booked. Just look at how they handle some of these guys from the indies, Japan and NXT. They are all super talented. They know how to be over. They put on great matches. They can be stars... but WWE drops the ball every single time.
ehh, it's always been bad but it's worse now than ever. At least there was some kind of logical storytelling going on during those peak periods. While Austin and Rock led the ship, you had guys like 2 Cool, The New Age Outlaws and Crash Holly OVER AS FUCK. I can assure you that they weren't so talented that they busted through the glass ceiling at WWF. Back then, they would emphasize strengths and minimize weakness. Russo made sure there was a story going on during every segment now matter how low on the card a worker was. In the attitude era, you had 2 hours jam packed with characters and storylines you CARED about... whether or not they were good, looking back, is really irrelevant. It worked, and that's all that matters.
Today, shit doesn't work.
yeah it's happening
thank god
the "die roman die" promo on night after mania should be sweet
Watching Emma and Asuka on NXT last night...
I'm having a hard time buying Asuka in this character she's playing. Her ass attacks look every bit as goofy as Naomi, her strikes look weak for someone sold as a stone cold killer, her look is trash (short, soft, goofy gear).
If it wasn't for the "she's from Japan and was totally bad ass there, guys, believe us, she's super cool" meta-narrative, there wouldn't be much going on here.
I keep waiting to be impressed from watching her in NXT.
Just remember, none of you hateful fuckers are allowed on the Roman War Wagon after Wrestlemania. All full.

Aztec Warfare may have been a spotfest, but it was one of the best pieces of booking I have seen in a long time. Talk about closure and opening new chapters.
It truly delivered on the excitement and surprise that match can and should bring to the table.
Also, why can't the Royal Rumble be pinfall and submission? They showed it can work with a shit ton of guys in the ring, and you can actually wrestle a match around that. It works a lot better than having guys fake fighting off elimination in the corner while the main contest is going on in the ring.
I am absolutely intrigued by Matanza Cueto. The guy is a beast and is amazing in the ring with his variety of suplexes, throws and reversals. I can't wait to see this monster in a one on one match.

Man I'm having a hard time staying at work now that DS3 is out. It has the flavor that was so lacking in Dark Souls 2. It's very good.

Outside of Curerno going out first Aztec Warfare was fab. They did a great job of playing off of rivalries in the match and Matanza was terrifying. Just compare him demolishing entire the roster with hoss moves and standing SSPs next to Stroman hugging people to death. It really goes to show how in ring work does matter, even if it's simply down to the spectacle of it.

That's as bad as calling Roman himself "The Roman Empire"

If Michelle is taking the photo, his flagpole might be at full salute.
I think either Rock or Hogan shows up to help New Day.

The Rock is probably telling Vince he wants nothing to do with Roman.

Hey, I almost said the same thing, but then I decided to actually listen to the song first.Fat Joe
in 2016
He probably is like Posh Spice and doesn't want laugh lines in his face.
That ain't no real smile. Dude's been in kayfabe for too long, can't remember how to act human.
I think I know what they've got in store, brother.

Interesting GIF. That summed up my opinion of the the second movie
LOL, this sums up the whole trilogy for me. God those movie are so bloated with too much characters and too much overblown action.
