Hmm. I just checked and Blue didn't post even once during Talking Smack.

That no mercy ad was awesome

Well, well.

 

[Alucard]

Huh. Impact introduced a Grand Championship that is won and defended in a 3-minute 3-round system that can "go to the judges" if it doesn't end in pinfall or submission beforehand. Interesting at least.

 

[Dark Ninja]

As long as they dont start firing back

Bryan is gonna snap soon

For all that we've seen out of the women now, I think the thing I'm really waiting for is for Ember Moon to beat Asuka and send her to the main roster. Asuka is just so counter to everything WWE has done with women, even in recent history, and she's the best in the ring by a large margin. I think how they handle her on the main roster, good or bad, will be fascinating to see.

I'd like Asuka to come up to the roster undefeated. Like she just gives up the NXT Women's Championship for a tournament because she's beaten everyone there already. But they seem to be making Ember Moon to be the one who takes her down. Which is fine, but it's always an issue when a character built on being undefeated inevitably loses because it could be either great or awful.

I've been waiting for "the revolution" since Paige got to the main roster and we all had high hopes for her and AJ carrying the division. Still waiting for it to really take off, though I do think it's gotten better the past couple of months.

Man, is there anything worse than Right to Censor's entrance theme?

I like Asuka's angle but I think it's unfair to call her the best in the ring when he matches have fell short of the big four horsewomen matches. I think she'd play a better role after the division manage to establish themselves, then she can show up and turn them on their heads.

Cesaro's? At least RtC's gimmick explained why it was shit.

Becky Lynch's everything.

You.

And yes, you need to be censored.

That's it fam, I'm starting the Alexa Bliss Appreciation Thread.

Are you sure you've heard Right to Censor's theme?

Also, are you sure you're familiar with Becky Lynch?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Miz did his finisher right on top of the Connor's Cure logo on the ground. I can't tell if it would be good or not for the Bryan feud if it was intentional or just tasteless if so.

[ReiGun]

I keep telling y'all: Bliss is next up. Just waiting for everything to really "click" for her.

I'd like Asuka to come up to the roster undefeated. Like she just gives up the NXT Women's Championship for a tournament because she's beaten everyone there already. But they seem to be making Ember Moon to be the one who takes her down. Which is fine, but it's always an issue when a character built on being undefeated inevitably loses because it could be either great or awful.

I'd want Asuka to come up undefeated if only because it would really add to the story for the inevitable Asuka v Bayley 3.

But then, Bayley's on Raw and I want Asuka on Smackdown.

 

[Heroman]

Guys asuka isn't coming up

I've been waiting for "the revolution" since Paige got to the main roster and we all had high hopes for her and AJ carrying the division. Still waiting for it to really take off, though I do think it's gotten better the past couple of months.

I think that it's massively, undeniably better than it was even two years ago. Like night and day in terms of how the women are presented. And I think as the main roster fills out with more women who are presented as legit from the start, the better it will get. Women like Natayla, Naomi and even Nikki still have the "Diva" stink on them in the eyes of the crowd IMO.

I like Asuka's angle but I think it's unfair to call her the best in the ring when he matches have fell short of the big four horsewomen matches. I think she'd play a better role after the division manage to establish themselves, then she can show up and turn them on their heads.

I think it's unfair to criticize her too much considering she only got to work with Bayley, and even with their styles not meshing they still had a really good match at Brooklyn. I think her working with someone like Becky or someone who can create motion like Sasha or Charlotte will make for some really amazing stuff. It's another reason I'm looking forward to her and Ember.

But it's one of the few things I just cannot stand. I have to fast-forward when it's on. That's probably not a good thing. It's, like, the Stephanie McMahon of themes.

Asuka vs Bayley for the third time better be just an Asuka squash match. If only Brooklyn wasn't Bayley's send-off, we could have got it!

Asuka is on a whole other level compared to the four horsewomen in the ring, simply from a vastly different culture of wrestling and training. Becky is the best of those four in the ring and Asuka is certainly a better wrestler than her.

 

[serenewarfare]

Guys asuha isn't coming up

There's clearly money to be made with Asuka on the main roster. You don't push her for a year plus in NXT if there isn't. She'll come up, regardless of the original intention. Same as with Joe.

Bayley's gonna eventually get her heat back, sister.

Why would she not come up? That's ridiculous.

 

[Data West]

You know who had a great theme

 

[LiQuid!]

Corbin is the first person to appear on Talking Smack not to come off better than they do on the main show,

Corbin is the kind of guy who needs a script, he's dying right now.

To be fair, Bryan was feeding him shit to work off of. He was leaning into him about winning instead of just beating people up but Corbin won his matches... Lead to Corbin having to talk in circles. His actual cadence and the point he was trying to make was mostly fine.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Why would she not come up? That's ridiculous.

I think it was rumored once she signed a deal or something that said she would only wrestle in NXT.

 

[serenewarfare]

Why would she not come up? That's ridiculous.

Her original contract was an NXT-only deal, as was Joe's. We know for a fact that Joe's deal has changed, nothing is confirmed or denied with Asuka, but it's pretty safe to assume if it changed with Joe it changed with her as well considering her spot.

I think it was rumored once she signed a deal or something that said she would only wrestle in NXT.

Joe did as well, and that has been confirmed to have changed along the way.

I mean it's definitely ear cancer but that's exactly the point. One of my favorite stables ever. Just pure hate.

 

[Ithil]

I think it was rumored once she signed a deal or something that said she would only wrestle in NXT.

Maybe when she was signed that was their idea, but they aren't leaving a wrestler of her caliber in NXT when they have two split women's rosters and zero depth. Same with Joe, there is no way he's staying down there for good.

We've had one episode's worth of No Mercy build and already it's looking way better than Clash of Champions.

Yup. Just like they told Kevin Owens. No way they keep Asuka in NXT with the lack of women on the main roster.

Joe looks like he is done on NXT after Survivor Series. Asuka my guess will be after Wrestlemania.

I was under the impression that Kronic was spelled KroniK and they were just misspelling it early in their run (classic WCW), but it's been a while now and they're still spelling it Kronic.

So I guess it's Kronic.
