Solomon Crowe is awful, awful gimmick, awful look. I just don't know what the point of him is. Take him off TV, fix his hair, remove his tan, drop the hacker gimmick.

Maybe a more serious C-O-N-Spiracy R-Truth gimmick would suit him better.

Solomon Crowe is there to guarantee that Baron Corbin doesn't have the worst look in NXT

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Wait what? The Lucha Underground Temple might undergo further cutbacks? I look forward to seeing the ingenuity with which the producers will cover for the loss in an already dim budget. Will they finally introduce the legendary Aztec "Lights Out" match, contested purely in the dark? Perhaps a spectator free "For the Gods" match, filmed through an iPhone propped up next to the ring? I don't know friends, but im excited for the possibilities.

LU's production budget is huge for a non-WWE company. That's why they've lost so much money for a company that doesn't tour. If they can get a deal with Univision or Televisa then production will stay the same and new talent like Rey Mysterio comes in. If they don't then staff and talent will get cut.

Balding aside, Corbin has a better look than anyone else in NXT.

Tough Enough Update:



Quite a bit.

Only 5,000? Sounds like minimal interest to me, friends.

You can still do it Data, my ego needs it

Oh man, I super disagree there. Balding, non existent muscle definition, fucking awful tattoos.

 

[Professor Beef]

Just because Friend Cure is banned doesn't mean you have to bring up Corbin.

Dario Cueto is a savvy businessman. Ever since he was a kid, he told his father that he was going to set up his own Lucha league in America, and he was going to make it the best league in the world. Now that he's built that dream into reality, the people will come.

 

[Data West]

When is friend Pepsi getting unbanned?

Oh man, I super disagree there. Balding, non existent muscle definition, fucking awful tattoos.

Fucking awful tattoos made Randy Orton the megastar he is today.

 

[British Monsoon]

Hey, friend Pepsi's back!

Also, Spider, your avatar is horrific.

Corbin's tattoos make Orton's look good in comparison.

Welcome back, Ham.

Pepsi comes back just as stro gets permed.

COINCIDENCE?!

welcome back

Vince is right, some are ridiculous.

Did Grado send one in, yet?

[Mr. Luchador]

He was the guy that used to be in The Ascension before Viktor, WWE fired him for fighting with a police officer. He's pretty much a standard brawler, but does have some agility he doesn't show very often;

Man, I forgot that was even a move it's been that long since I've seen it used in the WWE. In fact... most kicks seem to have disappeared other than Kofi's.

Also...

Any WrassleGAF in the North-East who are thinking of going to Tidel's show at Riverside, or MEW's in Longbenton, let me know and I'll give you a lift. No murderers.

You're all still cunts to me, dammit.

Rusev does this kick.

Also, Sheamus has the Brogue Kick, lots of people do the super kick, and Seth does a standing enzuigiri.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

FUCK BARON CORBIN

Like kick kicks though - CM Punk's weak kick combo, X-Pac kicks, Austin's Stomp, etc

 

[Perspicacity]

Thanks folks, I promise I will never ever leave you again.

Could've fooled me.

It was a pretty good impression.

Got some old British wrestling books today, 'The Mick McManus Wrestling Book' from the late 70's and 'This Grappling Game' by Kent Walton from 1968! Mick's book has a larger focus on the TV era I'm more familiar with, whereas Kent's (while an interesting look at old British wrestling) is full of names I've never heard of, or only heard spoken in revering tones. Wish more footage survived from that era, but little was saved pre-1970. Anywho, here's a great picture of a young Andre the Giant with Mick McManus;

I 'found' a British Wrestling A-Z program to watch the other day.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how fucking awful Orton's music is in every single way.

That one's OK if I remember rightly, but it's a little light on content - if you see it 'out and about' definitely grab the World of Sport on Men & Movies set, as that has a ton of hour long compilation episodes with 2-3 matches per show. Lots of great stuff in that one.

 

[Perspicacity]

Mr. Luchador you're forgetting about Daniel Bryan, but I think most people have so it's okay

 

[spindashing]

Did Hogan innovate the Big Boot into Leg Drop combo?

Taker has it in his moveset, did he steal it from Hogan?

 

[Professor Beef]

Its not bad. Now Seth/Dean's theme? Blah.

 

[bean breath]

If you pay close attention to the area just outside the ring post in the upper middle area of the screen, you can see Vampiro get up from the announce table, place his hands on his head and begin to run alongside the ring.

 

[klonere]

FUCK BARON CORBIN

his look consists of "did i leave the gas on? oh shit i did" and gear straight out of a Shanghai tourist trap outlet selling knockoff Sons of Anarchy clothing

Yeah, I've kept an eye out for that ever since your post a few days ago.

I feel we don't talk enough about how awful Orton is in general but I'll take starting with that bloody awful 'written by a 14 year-old trying to sound crazy' song.

Drago nooooooooooooooooo!

Matanza being Dario's brother now makes me think the show is going to turn into a Latino "Of Mice And Men".

He's not awful.

Thread on repeat, etc

Orton's not awful, he's boring

I don't think he's bad in a technical sense. Just every other one. How so on repeat?

Bray should just start lighting people on fire.

He can start with the ratings because lord knows Seth ain't.

Boring is the worst thing a wrestler can be. You can be a terrible uncoordinated piece of shit but still be worth watching.
I don't give a shit how nice your backbreakers look Roderick Strong, go collect tickets at the door or something.
