Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Because the JBL & Cole show is seen by about 150,000 people on the internet. Vince probably doesn't even know it exists.

But that's where bad news barret came from!

Because Vince McMahon isn't breathing down the neck of those who write it, and won't veto what they write at any given moment.

With Renee Young!
Probably because they're left to their own devices, and can just write up a five-ten minute comedy bit per week instead of having to translate Vince's sense of humour to television.

I knew there had to be a reason he beat the hell out of everyone at War of the Worlds. Hope we get to see Okada vs. Cole soon.

ahahahaha
If you sit in the entrance side, shit is motherfucking exhausting live.
Also, watching UPF on GB, that ICOPRO shirt
Vince was giving Cole a lot of stick on the last smackdown
Why do 90% of Euro wrestlers have no gimmick, or their gimmick is OI IM A TOUGH GUY? It's like every single one of them said, 'I'm gonna be Dynamite Kid' then all their mates said, 'I'm gonna be Dynamite Kid!' and here we are. Chris Adams was a pretty good wrestler, but I didn't find him unique or standing out other than in the ring. Which leaves a short impression. Did nobody in Europe get Superstar Billy Graham tapes in the 80s so they didn't know? I mean, what was Bulldog's gimmick? Whenever I see those guys Boots posts for PROGRESS, they just look like dudes. It's fine if there's a couple hard ass dudes in the promotion, but not everybody should be the straight shoota. I get that Europe has the Japan mentality where they take it a little more seriously, but Japan still had gimmicks like Muta, Chono, Sasuke, Liger, etc. Not EVERYONE wore short trunks with the kickpads and the one elbow pad
I'll even give Grado, Fergal, and Wade credit for trying to establish something. I love Finlay because he was a cranky old man, but if he wasn't old, he would have also been yet another Euro OI IM A TOUGH GUY gimmick. At least Vince's 'lets make Regal snooty' was something unqiue even if it is an incredibly shallow gimmick.
What I'm saying is that I'm not surprised Bootaaay would support the man who won the PWG title. And I was more using that as an excuse to make fun of the new champ than Cole. But I don't think Cole's all that good either. /heelturn

This is also true. What they do is a 10 minute show every week, while the WWE stuff has to be stretched out to 6 hours every single week. That shit's got to be exhausting.

Rumors and speculation
They bring back Cena early from injury all the time too. They act like they care about the health of their superstars, but they really don't when it comes down to it. As long as the doctor says 'He can', they don't hear the following 'but he shouldn't.'
It's my biggest problem with the WWE. It beats the hell out of their employees. You can see how much someone ages in 10 years in any sport then compare it to a WWE wrestler, and the WWE wrestler will always have a more weathered face.
Does WWE ever learn from anything? If it wasn't because of the bad press it would get, I bet they would still be doing the repelling entrance.

I liked this hurricanrana from that dark match.

Suspension of disbelief much?

There is, but I don't feel like that sequence at all crosses it.
Maybe he was going for his powerbomb like move!?

Imagine Muta's mind when he realizes he missed the ropes and was going flying to the floor.
Damn, I would have shat my pants. Especially with the edge of the ramp so close

I bet he's watched X-Men at least 6 times already.
Really looking forward to Styles/Okada and Ishii/Ibushi. And I love that confrontation video of AJ and Okada. Think they'll put on an amazing spectacle.
Not expecting too much from the rest of Back to the Yokohama Arena, though. Two Gracie fights, eh? Maybe Nakamura can save things.

I don't think it's fair for Brock to have such a low charisma rating. Brock has tons of charisma.

Layla oh lawd
Magnus. Now there's a Euro wrestler who tries to have a gimmick and stupendously fails at it. Has like negative charisma.
I think part of this is due to Euro promotions not having as much time to give character exposition, but even then I think you're vastly overexaggerating. Even just looking at Progress, there's guys like El Ligero, Mikey Whiplash, Mad Man Manson, Jimmy Havoc etc. who all have very different gimmicks that certainly aren't 'I'm a tough guy'.
