Should just pull a page from NXT's book and either just not use those people or go with the no titles route.
Then again the same company recently thought it was a wise idea to give Matt Hardy the belt even though they knew full well it would ruin a portion of the pool of matches they taped months prior. |
It's just mind boggling how every time they're given "a new start," they immediately shit the bed.
The fact that this is a company that exists is a disservice to every decently run company in every industry in the history of the world. |
Think they are just doing a live One Night Only PPV. Not sure of the theme for the show but probably won't have any titles on it if its a ONO PPV

Who is the biggest "threat" to WWE now? ROH, TNA or CHW?
|
NXT.
There's no threat. Nobody is going to compete with WWE at this point. The financial advantage is too great. Wcw only hung in the fight because they had a ridiculous amount of money to work with. TNA, ROH, etc doesn't have that. It's a one man show as far where the big leagues are. |
I made use of the WWE Network and went back to watch Bayley versus Sasha. Got very emotional towards the end.
|
I think its still TNA but its not as big of a threat as it had been 5 years ago. WWE is kind of attacking ROH because they know that that brand of wrestling is what NXT is trying to reach. ROH has alot of potential to take over TNA in that second spot but feel like they need to do bigger arenas that could at least fit 5000 people. TNA having a new start on a new channel again gives them a fresh start and I think they can do OK if they bring some fresh faces in and are creative. TNAs matches are pretty good most the time if the storylines could just line up they'd be OK I think.

Supposedly its all due to an action figure of Kevin Steen/Owens that ROH managed to release before the WWE that started the "feud." WWE felt ROH was taking money away from them and supposedly have held a grudge since then. |
Yep, WWE doesn't like that ROH does shows during WM in the same area. ROH has a lot more potential than TNA in my opinion. Ring of Honor has some great talent and if they could keep WWE from poaching a lot of them they could grow a lot. I think Sinclair is really behind ROH and are slowly building the company and themselves. TNA has been in a downward spin since leaving Spike with EC3 being their only glimmer of light. I hope they can get going on POP but don't think POP will get what they are expecting. Really don't see TNA reaching 1 million viewers anymore but I hope I'm wrong.
|
In order for anyone to compete with WWE, WWE needs to get better and bring in a new boom period for wrestling as a whole. Right now the business just doesn't bring in new fans so it doesn't matter if a company comes in and does everything right because there just aren't enough people who care about wrestling. Obviously, having an assload of financial backing wouldn't hurt either.
|
Watching This is Impact. 1hour special that aired on POP today at 1. Had a good EC3 promo the rest is pretty much a yearly review.

SPOILER: show http://www.wwe.com/inside/10-things-...to-see-in-2016 Can see everything except #8 and #9 happening. #5 and #7 are toss ups mostly because it requires the WWE to plan long term stuff. |
Sascha could join New Day and be a Tag Team champion or New Day could win a singles title and share it.

<font color=goldenrod>Something will happen to prevent Axel from entering again and it'll be the next recurring Rumble joke along with Kofi always finding new ways to avoid elimination.</font>
|
Kinda rooting for Axel to find his niche. One of the best themes. If Sandow couldn't do it through a comedic route I don't see Axel doing it though.
|
Should just do what was going to do before AxelMania: go down to NXT full time. He has been in the past training buddies of the Rock and Brock Lesnar. So, he's not going anywhere as long as Brock is around.
|
<font color=goldenrod>Had no idea Zack Ryder and Emma were dating. Apparently have been for a while.
Getting to bang Evil Emma is a pretty great consolation prize for having basically nothing to do on the main roster for 4 years.</font> :y: |
Isn't Emma still traveling with the main roster? That's a pretty great thing to do.

On the other, that's precisely the problem that lead to not having enough "star power" right now. After what seemed like a surefire start in his re-christening at the hands of Paul Heyman, he was relegated to comedy status and jobber meatshield within, what, like 3-4 weeks? Imagine for one second that Lesnar's debut was booked similarly... where he came in and 2x powerbombed people like he did at first, but only for like two weeks, then proceeded to lose every match and do shit to look dumb and weak just to prevent people from attacking Paul Heyman. He would have gotten nowhere near top draw potential, and would be mentioned in the company of guys like Heidenreich or Nathan Jones today. Axel is almost in the same boat as Cesaro... except that Henning* has a boat with more holes and a smaller bucket and less TV time in which to bail it out. Even a (regular) stint in NXT would help him out. Book him to be a legitimate threat. Say he's focused. Give him televised victories to help get his stock up. That part of the "getting people over" equation should not be so hard, but WWE makes it like it is impossible. |
Love all the Axel talk. I think it would be pretty cool to have Axel enter the Rumble at #30 and about 5 guys left. Axel last to the last 2 and who ever WWE wants to win the Rumble gets shoved under the ropes to the outside and Axel starts a 10 count with the fans and thinks he's won the RR by countout so he starts to celebrate while the other guy get back in and dumps him over the ropes to win. Gives Axel another gripe with the RR match and also goes back to when he debuted and was beating people by countout(HHH and John Cen).
|
I'd like the WWE to specifically state "If you do not enter the ring before the next entrant you will be disqualified."

What kind of stipulation would you guys want to see in the Agent X Vs Ric "The Mic" Roberts match? What do you think the stipulation will be?
I think it will probably be a LADDER match but I would love to see a Pyro match. Agent X loves playing with fire, so hes gonna have the advantage but Ric "The Mic" Roberts is one of the toughest sons of bitches to have ever been born so it would really be a crazy match. So whats your guys take? What kinda match do you want? |

Maybe the Balor Club is coming?
As for Nakamura , it comes down to his ability to learn or speak English. If he can't, he's at least as big as Tajiri. If he can, we could be looking at worst a guy who is the biggest Japanese star to hit America since Muta, possibly Rikodozan. Or we may be in uncharted territory. The guy is too charismatic to NOT get over. |
Hope Somoa Joe debuts at the rumble.....congrats to AJ for finishing his career in the WWE.

Apparently the running joke now is because Nakamura signed with WWE that Daniel Bryan will go to NJPW
|
Update from PWI regarding the talent raid by the WWE. Confirmed those wrestlers are now free agents but none of their sources within the WWE states they have been officially signed yet by the company.
Out of the group, NJPW seems to only be interested in keeping Nakamura if possible while AJ Styles is gone and isn't resigning with them nor ROH. Gallows likely is gone as well from NJPW and Anderson likely gone once his deal ends later this month. Both guys do have a few ROH dates left so they could just stay in ROH before moving elsewhere. Quote:
|
Honestly hope Nakamura stays in NJPW. They need him, and while it would be nice to see him on NXT, I have no faith in the WWE to use him properly on the main roster.
|
just as long as AJ Styles comes. That will bring me back full time to RAW. He seems to be a better fit for NXT, but he's earned enough respect to shoot to the main roster and save us.
His promo is a little off, but he uses the word "piss" so it negates all the bad things |
Wrestling showerthought: It'd be cool if Kalisto won the US title from ADR, re-christened it as the WWE World Cruiserweight Championship (sick looking new belt and all), and brought a cruiserweight open challenge to RAW every week.
|
Everytime they show Kalisto I imagine Rey Mysterio chucking a remote through the TV and yearning for the roar of the crowd. Never felt that way with Sin Cara. The new Sin Cara is better, but I didn't get the idea that Rey was jelly of him.
|
If it's all true it's a big hit to NJPW. Still don't know if WWE would use any of them on the main roster if they do sign.

My new review is up at 411mania.com : Mr.Dufour's Wayback Machine if anyone is interested. Link below

Kind of peeved they didn't sign James Storm.
|
More than "kind of" actually.
|
Nakamura better have time traveling capabilities or else he won't make it in the US
|
|
Not sure why there isn't a thread about the topic.

Bullet Club debut on the Raw after Mania?

Going to straight shit myself if AJ Styles goes to WWE
|
Yeah AJ to WWE would make me go boom boom in my trousers as well kind sir.
|
There's a part of me that is going to be watching the Rumble waiting, hoping, praying for some kind of crazy surprise possibly involving one of them.
And then I will be severely disappointed when the only surprise entrant is the Boogeyman. |
