Who's a wrestler you guys are surprised to hear they have never gotten a five star match rating from Meltzer?

Bryan probably tops it for me.

Oh and Angle.

 

[Oersted]

Imagine the roids the baby will have.

Is the WWE UK program officially off the table? If so, they should just do joint WWE/Progress shows once a month and tape them similar to NXT. Same thing goes with Shimmer/SHINE; do joint shows instead of creating a whole new Women's only show. SHINE is based in Florida, too, so that could allow for a lot of their NXT trainees to get more time in the ring in prep for their "call up" to NXT.

Meltzer said WWE internally is still planning to have it up and running before the end of the year, but he sounded skeptical that it would happen.

 

[Draxal]

Why the fuck aren't these two a proper duo on TV.

So stupid

Real answer.

not enough wrasslers on the roster.

Confession and shoot here: I never understood the Angle love as far as in the ring.
As a character? Absolutely. But in the ring? He never did it for me

Fun fact


Since(and including) Wrestlemania, the Ascension lost in two Battle Royals and jobbed twice against Breezango.

And one of them jobbed in another Battle Royal.

And thats it.

Man Irma news is scary. According to the PM and a few other people the island of Barbuda is 90% destroyed.

There's some pictures and and video making it's way but it's all just leveled.

Yep, watching very carefully

New shoot: Legion of Doom were terribly boring in the WWF

They were used poorly, more than anything. Toward the AE, DX were destroying them. That's hilarious. WCW used and treated tag teams miles better.

Can't lie, as I kid I loved them and Warrior.

The earl You summerslam run wasn't too bad but that later AE run is what's awful

Can't lie, as I kid I loved them and Warrior.

For sure but this is a hindsight kind of thing as I make my way back through

 

[excelsiorlef]

after smackdown, Pollock thinks Ziggler should go to the indies and reinvent himself

As what?

He's decent but he's not an indy darling type guy.

Not to mention his personality sucks

He's less MacIntyre and more Jack Swagger

 

[Heroman]

He still got one though lol

But got one in TNA in a triple threat match. It Fucking Werid

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah the Road Warriors worst runs came in WWE

Yeah I know what you're saying, but I see John's point too. There's nowhere to go but up for Ziggler if he leaves WWE from a character perspective. The start/stop pushes have been going on for like 5 years now.

If Juice Robinson could do it... who knows.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Ziggler would leave WWE and probably work for Fox or something.

I would have said that I could see him going to GFW but.....whoops.
He would have had the "Fuck WWE" gimmick that they seem to adore there.

Juice Robinson got over because he's really just gosh darn earnestly likeable.

Ziggler comes off as a total asshole...

Ziggler is also 37 years old. He's better to just take the paycheck and call it a day.

He's just kind of done

So in the upcoming issue of NXT, Asuka is going to head into an unknown future in the main roster and all sorts of people are nervous about it. I wonder if she will post a longer text covering the topic on Instagram as she did in the past at certain career milestones in the WWE such as the comment she posted before her title match against Bayley to win the NXT women's championship.

I hope she will do it. Would be interesting to know how she thinks about the callup and with which attitude she intends to tackle the upcoming challenge. Those posts were always quite in-character, so a new one will give some insight on what's coming character-wise (it won't change much, probably).

 

[Zach]

I don't care what you say, excelsiorlef, I wish post-'97 Sting would've hit us with the old school colorful getup from time to time!

Surfer Sting should have come back instead of Wolfpac in 98.

excelsiorlef and I have finally reconciled.

[Angry Grimace]

Nah they never were. Not really properly. They were "friends" but never a real team

Because Nia Jax can't act or wrestle well enough to be a heater.

I'm legitimately surprised you think adding Nia Jax would do anything whatsoever to improve Bliss's act. Because I would disagree with that for the same reason above: Jax can't act or wrestle.

 

[FallingEdge]

Brian Cage and Melissa Santos are expecting a baby in 2018.

I don't even know Cage and Santos hooked up.

They were together, broke up because I believe Cage cheated on her, then they got back together. Something along those lines.

 

[Data West]

The fact it's not even vaguely coherent, probably.

You should learn to read then.

 

[xxsavagedragonxx]

that goddamn hurricane might head here to north carolina....

Last october, we got hit here with major flooding and it was wild....

Irma is going to try to bring the super kick party to us but i will shoot and no sell it....

Let them literally be who they are backstage.

Let Bliss do all the talking.

I've seen a ton of their backstage stuff that is really charming and entertaining.

Nia is getting better as a monster. It's her character work that is really really not good.

Love how Asuka dressing room is signified by her mask on the door. Plus Lars sullivan music is horror music with the scream in the beginning.

 

[RecRoulette]

The setup for this 5-0 Street Fight is amazing.

And jesus fucking christ at Striker going all #BlueLivesMatter. Way to fuck up the mood.

Joey Ryan has just one upped everything

 

[avengers23]

New shoot: Legion of Doom were terribly boring in the WWF

I mean, didn't you see one of them fall off a really high thing because he was worked(?) worked-shoot(?) shoot(?) drunk to play off his shoot drinking problem?

With his penis?

Shes still very bad in the ring.

All off the hosses in MYC were pretty much better at doing Nia than Nia, and the fans know it.

As a pile of unemployed nothing, right?

He can be a stand-up comedian and wrestler.

I see the hint of the tag team of Burch and Oney. Plus were those the progress owners with regal?
