Ember's theme is very busy. Seems like two songs at once. Like you left a second tab open and forgot to close it.

pissed they canceled the NXT show at Mattamy. I really wanted to see it at a smaller gym/arena. Guess I'll just have to try again. They said tickets go on sale September 21 10:00 am with a code (WWENXT) but I wonder if there will be an even earlier sale.

Pretty crazy that they're doing the Takeover at the ACC as well instead of a smaller venue (I really would've liked to go to one at the Mattamy) but I'm definitely in for that.

...gently caress, they might cheer him over Nakamura, let alone No Way Jose. That has to be a TV feud, right? And then he works... Murphy or someone in Toronto?

I had floor seats for this gently caress. :smith: Welp, time to struggle with Ticketmaster for wheelchair accessible seating at ACC. :suicide: Watch the show be more expensive now too.

I really want them to do something different with Gargano and Ciampa. Have them rise up the ranks of NXT, then WWE, with everyone thinking they're going to split and one is going to turn against the other. But no, friendship prevails and they're BFFs forever, and sometimes they challenge each other to singles matches because it's fun.

And then in the ultimate swerve Gargano turns on Ciampa at the Hall of Fame induction!

as much as i hated late era dgusa, the start of the heel run with him as champ was pretty good. he can play a delusional heel alright, other kind of heels...not so much.

Well, yeah, but that was because he was desperate to remain champion. That doesn't really factor in here, and I doubt he'd really pull it off with the kind of reactions he gets in NXT.

He did really good heel work as the leader of Fourth Gunn in Smash imo. And 3 out of 5 of the members are working NXT now anyways so they're set.

WWE had scouts at the Rio Olympic’s and they were scouting many athletes. One of the athletes they were scouting was 27 year old Canadian wrestler Erica Wiebe.

She confirmed in an interview that WWE was scouting her and that they called her to possibly come in for the company.

Wiebe competed as part of Canada’s 2016 Olympic team. At the Olympics, she won gold, defeating Guzel Manyurova in the final event.The medal was the third gold medal in wrestling that Canada has ever won at the Olympics, and second ever women’s gold.

Do any of the current women have their base in wrestling like she does? It would be interesting to have a woman with that style, just throwing people around.

They don't. The women they have are from or just "did" bodybuilding, kickboxing, gymnastics or athletics (track & field).

They'd add a woman permanently to the commentary table just so they could run a gimmick where she drools over him incessantly.

I think a female "Kurt Angle" would be a great addition. It'll be nice to have some more quick mat-based wrestling in the women's division.
