No, this is not a "hardcore" crowd thing.

Every city they go to (including house shows) is reacting very favorably to Nakamura.

That's not just a hardcore thing.

If you can't tell the difference between someone getting a "very favorable" crowd reaction and the reaction a true star like Rock or Austin gets then I don't know what to tell you. WWE is a factory for lukewarm stars.

 

[Foggy]

I would argue Kana has done a better job than the rest of that list in keeping her matches fresh.

End just got here, so I can't say much about him.

She's done a decent job, all things considered. I'm mostly just speaking to how watered down these people are when they get to the WWE. Even Kana as a character is a shadow of what she could do when left to her own devices.

 

[serenewarfare]

I think that the reason the PC keeps training in the style that it does is because these top guys still get super over in NXT with limited workrates. And the WWE perceives that as a safer, more re-producable style.

So why change to a style they see as more dangerous when they still have guys getting super over with the safer style? Like yeah on the main roster they fail, but you can more easily contribute that to the booking than the style.

A few weeks ago I hated both Breeze and Fandango

Breezango is a blessing upon this Earth.

Now I agree with this 100%

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Lmao that pause.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Fuck my life that silhouette

 

[ShadyK54]

I love the Fashion Files so much.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Fandango about to SHOOT

No one is saying he's over like Austin. Who said that?

If you want to talk about people not being over like Rock or Austin, why single out Nakamura? There are a thousand examples of that other than him. It's a systemic WWE problem, not a Nakamura problem. Compared to most of the roster, he's more over.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I can't wait to see how they ultimately ruin Breezango through no fault of their own.

 

[ramoisdead]

I really hope the next match for the Tag Titles involve TND, Uggos, and Breezango. 'Dango and Breeze has been knocking it out of the park as of late.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Breezango are great. Can't wait for their segment next week.

Also massive lol at Indian news channels. Its Khali 2.0 😂

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Charlotte my wife.

Carmella or Natalya wins this.

 

[Dark Ninja]

They finally fixed Charlottes tron lol

 

[Tom Nook]

I can't wait to see how they ultimately ruin Breezango through no fault of their own.

True

See Sandow.

 

[Rimfya]

Remember American Alpha?

 

[somedevil]

I wonder who will debut first. Lana or Summer Rae?

 

[Professor Beef]

F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S

 

[TheSchwab_7]

Dat silence for Carmella and Tamina

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

THE THEME!

 

[peteykirch]

Has anyone ever seen Tamina and Nia Jax at the same place at the same time?

 

[vatstep]

How the hell have they not edited Carmella's theme yet

 

[mightynine]

I'm always impressed that Carmella consistently gets NO reaction. Not even X-Pac heat.

 

[Tom Nook]

Old school pip interviews

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Wwhat he fuck was that shitty ass green cloth background

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Natalya is the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be...when it comes to arguing with Kohl's cashiers over expired coupons.

 

[serenewarfare]

Why does he not just ring the bell.

 

[ambar_hitman]

What's this stupid booking about Referee not able to start the match?

 

[Tom Nook]

Lol ref...

 

[somedevil]

Why does he not just ring the bell.

Its not a tag match but a 5 way so this is fine.

 

[Tom Nook]

The match should started in a 5 way

 

[tmac456]

goddamn she landed hard on that moonsault

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

This match is stupid. Wrestling is stupid.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Is the match even gonna happen

Good brawling shit

 

[Ultratech]

lol @ that random kid saying "kill nattie!"

 

[Zabka]

No one is saying he's over like Austin. Who said that?

I didn't say anyone said that. I don't even know what you're arguing because it sounds like you agree with me.

Lots of people are somewhat over. No one is breaking through to real superstar level because of booking, writing and production. Nakamura is the latest to start feeling the pain.

Let's face it, he's not a once in a lifetime talent like Jinder Mahal.

 

[somedevil]

Crazy brawl.

 

[ramoisdead]

I like this but lawls at every single woman wrestler "clearing" the top of the announcer's table. So comical.

 

[Tom Nook]

Guess the match is delayed for mitb

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

love how shane always comes out doing his dance. I feel like someone could die in the ring and he'd still do it.

 

[ambar_hitman]

This is great.

 

[galvatron]

"Fuck every last paper on this desk" - all participants of this fight

 

[mightynine]

Shane-O Mac gonna name himself #1 Contender

 

[RecRoulette]

It's not a communication issue. Nakamura knows what he's doing. He knows that he can get over doing not that much. So that's what he's doing.

He did the same in NJPW too, so it's not like it's a new thing for him.

 

[newdayrocks]

Once WWE signed him, he realized he can do less than he did in Japan and still be over. And he's been right so far.

People were complaining about him phoning it in during his last few years at NJPW, too, though.

 

[Rimfya]

Charlotte's great.

She should hold all three women's belts at once.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Awesome brawl.

Anything would be better then the shit of last night.

 

[ramoisdead]

Women's Ladder match??

EDIT: A Women's MITB Ladder Match. A first.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Shane dancing around is so stupid

 

[serenewarfare]

This is a great brawl, but the premise of it makes no sense because we've seen refs tons of times just call for the bell to start a match during a brawl.
