Well, yeah, that makes sense.

I wonder if they'll bring back the best King, King Bookaaah!

King Cuerno's English is amazing.

Also Galapagos Island is debuting tonight

King Cuerno is the coolest king. And he doesn't even have a crown. He just looks like a stately as fuck super villain king with his steroid henchmen.

and his deer head

Has anyone gone to TNA and gotten in better shape rather than the other way around.

You'd think they'd be abusing steroids or whatever but nope. Everyone just looks worse.
I'm pretty sure roids and such are a a part of why WWE isn't interested in the TNA-only guys. When you look at the builds of a lot of TNA guys, they look like they're straight out of the '90s in terms of size. The WWE guys currently, on the other hand, really do have more "normal" athletic builds nowadays, and there's a very noticeable difference between the look of the guys in the two promotions.

The whole thing with Chris Harris is something they probably think would happen again.

Finished up the Raw from this week and I have to say, the entire Lana leaves Rusev angle was fucking ridiculous. First of all, she was barely even doing her accent (she slipped out of it last week too in her interview as I recall, so maybe that's on purpose), the entire thing was such ridiculous soap opera acting, and I have no clue if there was supposed to be any background as to why she came out to pick up Ziggler.

It would have made way more sense for her to say he was a loser who wasn't fit to represent the Russian Federation. (I mean, he's not even Russian and she even mentioned for the first time in months that he was Bulgarian)

I always figured the deer head was his crown. Who would you rather follow into battle, a guy wearing a golden circle or someone who loves killing so much that he makes headwear out of his victims.

It would be a great storyline if it set the stage for a Rusev face turn when he finally takes her back, but that, unfortunately, is probably not in the cards.
 
Ignoring the Hero body shaming I usually enjoy, this is really cool.

I hate what they did with Lana's characterization. She used to be in control and we never saw her lose control, it just happened.

That said, I think they are doing the "Lana is using Ziggler to make Rusev jealous so he'll admit he needs her" soap angle. She kept pointedly looking back towards the ramp while flirting with him, clearly waiting for something to happen. The slap and leaving with Ziggler was just to stoke the flames. She'll let Ziggler take all the beatings until turning on him when she gets what she wants from Rusev.

The worst part was the Lana confronts Rusev scene where her accent started to fall off. Soooooo corny.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Breeze's current gimmick will never work in the main shows, what are the crowds supposed to connect to? It's just as one dimensional as Adam Rose, Fandango, and such gimmicks are.

When he gets called up, I hope they drop the gimmick and give the guy a legit shot.

They can make him a babyface at the start of his run where he does selfie shots with people around the ramp that gets members of the crowd on the titon tron.

That would get him over.

Then turn him heel and have him do the same thing he's doing now, only then it would be to spite the fans who wanted in the shot too.

I'd pay to see Breeze before I'd pay to see Reigns.

It's at least current and he can totally amp up the douche factor- but he HAS to amp it up. Otherwise he'll be crushed by the machine.

i love how NXT callups have to fight the company itself when they get called up

its probably their biggest concern.

EDIT: there is zero possibility that Breeze would have gotten his finisher booked like it is in NXT. zero.

I actually think Sarah Del Rey being a Producer and Agent on the main roster will help with these call-ups.

That and since Vince saw the NXT event in San Jose, we've had great main roster debuts for Neville, Zayn and Owens.

I fucking love this gimmick. He should do this every Monday night.

Ryder did like the same shit AND HE GOT BURIED.

The one dude that forced WWE to actually get social and stop hating the internet is the most buried dude on earth. Fuck...the treatment of Zack Ryder makes me sad still.
