Did Floslam ever sign up any more companies to make it remotely worth $20 a month?

E: welp and as I say that, they announce PWX and Beyond Wrestling.

Beyond is only for one show at the moment. It's a double header with Evolve and was supposed to be a WWN iPPV.

It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with Turkeys!!



I think Patrick Clark is one entrance theme that actually sounds like Prince away from greatness. He's good in the ring, has a good look, is a passable promo even if his character isn't fully formed yet, and "literally just Prince" isn't even a bad gimmick idea.

But his music is the most generic Casio keyboard poo poo imaginable, and slowly sauntering to the ring in a flowery blouse isn't going to hype the crowd on its own.

Angelo Dawkins, however, is complete poo poo and getting his rear end beat by midcarders at house shows is probably his ceiling.

They should've never split the Dawkins/Fulton tag team. At least they could've sucked together in a stepping stone tag team instead of Fulton being the worst part of a stable trying to get over.

What two stars he'd draft to SmackDown from NXT right now:

"That's really, really tough. I would love to have Nakamura just because I roomed with him for a long time, well not a long time a short time actually, but I've known him for a long time. And Samoa Joe too, there are so many great people down there. The women's champion Asuka is really good, I love Austin Aries, Bobby Roode is really good, there are so many good guys down there it is hard to pick just two."

Meltzer a couple of weeks ago reported there were no plans currently to call Nakamura up to the main roster. Which I personally took as meaning Samoa Joe is being called up.

Joe should definitely lose and come up. If it happens it would be interesting to see how he is aligned, he's a natural heel but they need faces and he'll get a big pop.

Personally been told call ups are imminent - I was asking for projections about Tommy End at time he's a person who supposedly will get a real chance in NXT as a result. As you more or less said WWE badly needs babyfaces that can be pushed an upper midcard level and beyond.

Personally not a super traditionalist fan but the totality of Rhyno, Spirit Squad, Headbangers and Ellsworth makes Smackdown feel low rent.

Well, Bryan still needs someone to fight his fight against the Miz at some point. Doubt it would happen, but it would give Joe a big face pop, and after a couple of months turning on Bryan would immediately give him massive heel heat.

Joe getting called up and Undertaker returning for Smackdown 900. I take this as 100% confirmation that Joe is starting a year+ long feud with Taker in which he first proves himself by having a match against Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. 100% confirmation.

I'd be cool if they just jettison the whole Itami/Aries angle and just call Itami up with Joe when he's healed. They can do it again if they send Aries to Smackdown anyway.

I went to an indy show headlined by Cody Rhodes vs A Local Flippydoo Master last night. Before the match Cody did the Stardust cartwheel which started a battle of impressive athletic feats and after each one we would chant "TEN!" in honor of future WWE Universal Champion Tye Dillinger.

I saw Pete Dunne at BOLA this year and I was really impressed. He's a natural heel without having to say a word during his matches. He reminds me of the preppy school boy villain on a fencing team.

Roode v Dillenger, Nakamura v Joe 2, Asuka v James, Tag Classic Finals... yeah.

Basic Logic would indicate that we're going to get Revival vs DIY 3 for the tag straps. We might also get some kind of resolution for the Liv v Aussie Mean Girls feud? Probably a tag match with Liv pairing with Ember Moon.

I mean, they have a lot of pieces to play with. Sanity, Aries, Roddy and Almas are all in play. If they have a sweet debut in the wings, now would be a good time to do it by matching up against one of them. Preferably Aries, the others probably can't afford a high-profile loss since they're just starting to get heel momentum.

Regal said "next week", but that might have just been a cover since his team lost and they could hold out for the rest of the year without him showing up so he could recover.
