Vince: "But he's a heel going up against Goldberg! Why would these Minnesota fans cheer for a guy who only won 2 national championships for the University of Minnesota, tried out for the Minnesota Vikings, and was wearing a shirt that had purple and gold on it to the ring!?"

Because he is Canadian

The stadium they were in is FIVE MILES from the university of minnesota

vince is the king of goofs

 

[Sephzilla]

He was born in South Dakota

 

[Disagree Guy]

I think that's worse than being straight up bad in a lot of ways, at least when something's truly awful it has a 'car-crash TV' element going for it but RAW doesn't even have that. It's just so sterile.

Yeah that's true. Maybe that's why Ellsworth gets so much love. He's awful but he's funny awful not "Created Superstar 1" level of boring

Curtis Axel signs were confiscated last night

They really don't give a shit about having people over in their hometowns

This man is going to challenge Okada for the belt at the dome

Is it bad that I'm less mad at WWE for doing that and more shocked that some people had Curtis Axel signs?

Wrestlers with mullets.

Did you see the Bucks getting blown away from the wind of The Boys fans at BOLA

He must have family in the crowd

 

[klonere]

No really, I understand the constraints of working in the creative framework of the WWE somewhat

but the writers need all to be fired out of a cannon into the sun. Except maybe Ryan Ward.

 

[Heroman]

I don't even think Vince knows where / what a South Dakota is.

That doesn't even make any fucking sense. Axel played full-on hometown hero face last night. The signs would have helped get that across. That company is full of god damn idiots.

Great, then some talented writers can come in, have vince browbeat them to the point they don't care anymore and we're right back where we started.

We get this crap because they pitch what they think Vince will like. And he does! He thinks he puts on GREAT shows.

 

[avengers23]

This man is facing Kenny Omega in the main event at the Dome.

The above is probably the exact reason he was so pissed that NXT was getting 'better than Raw' chants

Isn't Mick Foley's son on the writing team?

Are his scripts in crayon or what? Have a word Mick

Kenny has been pure money in 2016.

Big Momma Pump

Lol. Me last night

Just skimmed though that horrendous RAW.

The highlights:

- Big Mama Pump's tribute to the critically acclaimed Scott Steiner/HHH feud.

- The Titus bump that gravity forgot.

- "SUPLEX CITY! GOLDBERG SUCKS!". Heyman says fuck it and they just leave.

WHO WRITES THIS SHIT

 

[Heroman]

Kenny has been pure money in 2016.

Wrestler of the year, it's crazy what good booking does for people.

Burn every TJ Perkins promo to the fucking ground.

Because he is Canadian

I bet Vince legit thinks Brock is Canadian and he's only billed from Minnesota.

...But that still wouldn't excuse the fact that he sent him to be booed by Minnesota crowds.

Incoming segment of Brock kicking a baby and yelling 'It wasn't my fault'

That's a guaranteed bad heat magnet

 

[Angry Grimace]

The one guy I'm stunned isn't in NXT is Cole. He seemed like a sure bet a few years ago. And apparently they really like him, so it's surprising they haven't been able to get him.

They are trying to get him but ROH says he's under contract til mid 2017.

 

[klonere]

But....what does Adam Cole....do? Why is he so exceptional?

oh wait, he does a bunch of Shining Wizards, a Canadian Destroyer variation and has shitty hair.

Is he a mid-2000s indie tribute?

I'd love to see NXT turn him into another CAW from the video games.

Name change

Good-ish and good-adjace are both valid adjectives to describe Adam Cole.

 

[Mahonay]

Catching up on last week's NXT.

I see Roode upgraded his robe to extra sparkly. Also thank god he changed his finisher to an impaler DDT.

Dillinger vs Roode at Toronto is a great booking choice.

tbf I've only seen a few PWG matches that haven't impressed me and he's getting the Jay Lethal treatment in NJPW which is to say random zero story matches with no heat so

What if at the end of Sasha vs Charlotte we get a curtain call?

I couldn't take it in NXT, I can't take it now.

 

[Mahonay]

Oh hey it's Roderick Strong.

Linda looked really good at Mania 22. Shane did too, just very awkward once the grey started setting in.

fuck me it's been ages since I watched Haskins/Cole. I should give it another look.

I remember the SDS match being a real hoot as well.

I'll only take the three HIAC matches if Bray Wyatt is a hologram during all three of them.
