Why is Bradshaw the general manager of NXT?

It was from the aborted Authority vs. Rhodes feud, and the Authority removed Dusty and installed JBL as NXT GM.

RAW PREVIEW

20140523_Light_Raw_5ptPreview_HP.jpg



We’re less than one week away from WWE Payback, but we might very well be heading into the anticipated special event without a WWE World Heavyweight Champion. As the WWE Universe waits to see whether the leader of the “Yes!” Movement will indeed relinquish his hard-earned title, what will transpire when a special Memorial Day edition of Monday night’s hottest show emanates from Knoxville, Tenn.? WWE.com has five theories.
Click to expand...

1. Although their hero underwent successful neck surgery and is fortunately on the mend, the “Yes!” Movement has been in turmoil since The Authority demanded that Daniel Bryan personally surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship this Monday on Raw. As argued by Stephanie McMahon last week on Raw, the WWE Universe needs an active champion, and since Bryan is currently unable to compete while in recovery, giving up his title is “best for business.”

WWE COO Triple H addressed the matter further last Wednesday on WWE.com in an exclusive interview with Michael Cole, suggesting that perhaps Bryan’s “not tough enough to be able to handle the gig” and that the fan-favorite Superstar will do the right thing by relinquishing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. If Bryan doesn’t, we can only assume that the consequences will be dire.

Awful, awful stuff.

NXT is so terrible. Nothing on it makes any sense. Why would Bo Dallas care about losing a loser leaves town match when losing it means he gets to leave this bingo hall and go to WWE? This shitty show is like WWE's version of Thursday Thunder.

If NXT:WWE :: Thursday Night Thunder:WCW, what does that make SmackDown? Because SmackDown sure as hell isn't Saturday Night.

Trips vs Bryan for me.

I feel like a terrible wrestling fan for not liking Shield/Wyatts as much as everyone else.
Click to expand...

Depends on the style you like. It was a great crazy brawl. But if you're not as into crazy brawls, I can understand. I personally feel the Chamber match is highly underrated. I enjoyed it more than Shield/Wyatts. I mean hell, Meltzer liked the Raw match a week later more, and that doesn't appear to be the consensus.

Oh shit, so I can admit that I liked the Chamber match more? Because I did too.

I don't know, I feel like The Shield's best work was a year ago when they were facing Team Hell No and their random partner week after week. Like you said, their stuff more recently is brawling. That Shield/Evolution match is madly overrated.

That hyperbole, dream. NXT is a very up-and-down sort of show - it's quality from week to week is hindered by a number of things; the fact they tape in blocks, the fact that they have a large roster of varying levels of skill all vying for TV time and the fact that it's a meant to be a place for future talent to hone their craft. Thunder was just the shits.

As for match of the year, I'd be hard pressed to pick one without re-watching them all, but for me it's got to be between Ishii vs Naito at New Beginning, Nakamura vs Tanahashi at Invasion Attack, Trips vs Bryan at Mania, T-Hawk vs Tozawa at King of Gate, Ricochet vs Uhaa at Glorious Gate, Yoshino vs Mochizuki at Mochi's 20th Anniversary Show, Ibushi vs Okada at the NJPW Anniversary Show, The Shield vs Wyatt Family match at Elimination Chamber and Devitt vs Zack Sabre Jr. at Progress Chapter 13.

Wow, NJPW didn't even come close to a Yokohama sellout. Very unlikely they will go back there again soon, and this makes me very worried about the Seibu Dome closing out the G1.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't worry about the G1 - even when New Japan was in the shits, quality-wise, the G1 finals still drew well at Ryogoku. Whether that'll translate to the Seibu Dome is a different matter, but I don't think they'll have too much of a problem. I'd like to see them return to the Yokohama Arena next year, to see if they can build on the crowd (who were great throughout) that came out this time around. Also, they'd kinda booked themselves into a corner and, combined with a lacklustre showing at Dontaku, that could have hurt interest.

Can we all agree that Charlotte is one of the most unattractive women in pro wrestling since the late Rhonda Singh?

What's everyone's MOTY up to this point? I'm tempted to say Ishii vs. Ibushi, but that might be because it is recent.

Whoever this BJ Penn feller is didn't win the 2014 WrassleGAF Avatar Rumble, so no, he's no mascot of ours. Besides, he'd probably get his ass kicked by Marchie Archie.

Tursas!!

I like the facial recognition reticule that keeps popping up on the hard camera whenever it detects a face. Turn that shit off, jeez. Freaking amateur hour here.

*edit, Bryce said there's 1,500 fans in attendance, 25 rows deep.
