Chances are if it's being reported on not only does Nikki know but she was proposed to already in private and they're just doing this to be filmed for Total Divas.

hell I'd wear it. And I think we all remember how well the last "keep Nakamura off TV for a month" angle worked out, and how it definitely did not kick off a wave of fan malaise that still has not subsided.

When I saw that shirt on sale for like 4 bucks at the TNA shop I almost bought it. I'm also really REALLY strongly debating buying the Kurt Angle TNA Hall of Fame shirt. Sweet irony.

Basic Chunnel posted:hell I'd wear it. eh, Samoa Joe beating everyone one up and demanding Regal bring him Nakamura was the highlight of last year in NXT that didn't involve DIY or The Revival. And I think the fan malaise started well before that. I'd point to the weeks of meaningless shows taped in Houston where literally no stories were advanced as the turning point. That and keeping the Joe/Balor story stretching across three Takeovers (four if you count Rival) and half a year. At least they seem to have learned their lesson and are giving Roode a new challenger instead of giving us six months of endless rematches while everyone else spins their wheels.

bradzilla posted:I uh, don't think it would be a kayfabe proposal is the idea I mean more in the sense of like Nikki has been waiting for Cena to poo poo or get off the pot for years. I dunno it just seems weird you have Dave Meltzer of all people saying when someone should pop the question and essentially making it some weird quasi angle when it's their personal lives stuff. But hey I marked when Savage asked Elizabeth to marry him. God that ended terribly.  Oh well at least this way if Cena does pop the question after the match, Samoa Joe can do a run in knock Cena out and kidnap Nikki holding her hostage at the top of the scaffolding and Cena must then scale it while avoiding barrels Joe throws down at him.

I love that the 4 guys I most want to see from the UK tournament are getting NXT matches now. Bate, Dunne, Andrews, and Seven are all really fun to watch.Chris James 2 posted:I kinda expect them to come up on the post-Mania SD like I expect Nakamura on the post-Mania Raw Don't forget that there will be a 2017 Draft. It's usually in June or July, so I'd expect them called up in the Draft if it's not the post-Mania Raw/SD.

Are they going to redo the entire draft, or will it just be a supplemental draft for new NXT folks and trades and the like?

They usually have 4/5 major changes during the show then they'll probably move other people around on wwe.com or a network show now. And a few NXT people will be sprinkled in.

Owens needs to refuse to be squashed by Goldberg. It's what Goldberg or Lesnar would have done in their time. He can lose, fine, but if he's squashed he'll never be credible.

eh, nikki should just lose in a big championship match with Becky, put Becky over big in a post match interview to announce her retirement, start to look absolutely crushed and start to limp out of the ring, and then John comes to help her out of the building, and pops the question to her then. I want to see Nikki put one last hoss preformance rather than a bad WWE mixed tag, and that's just more soap opera-y and so we could get Cena in a singles match.

I don't know, but I hope this year they at least throw in a sentence saying "NXT champions are not eligible to be drafted" or have William Regal protected picks or something to explain why RAW/SD is drafting The Drifter and Wesley Blake instead of Bobby Roode, The Revival, or Asuka.

I agree that it'd be a bad idea, but he wouldn't necessarily never be credible again. Rollins was booked as an even more nutty cowardly heel and he was squashed by Lesnar, and he became a credible top guy again later. Turning babyface helps and would help Owens out there, it'd pretty much be a seperate character from the cowardly heel stuff. Seems fans are used to those switches. But I agree he shouldn't get squashed, just because it wouldn't be good.

Didn't the "draft" used to just be random picks? I don't know why they don't go that route again. At least it will stop making Smackdown leaders look like morons for making lovely picks. Hell, they could use it as a storyline point. "Looks like Smackdown gets the shaft for the third year in a row! It's almost like there's some sort of... conspiracy." *Mauro shifts his eyes from left to right suspiciously*

The original Vince and Flair draft operated pretty much just like the new brand split draft, except it was a top six followed by a lottery off-screen instead of a top ten. It was the yearly drafts afterward that were random lotteries, usually with cross-brand matches to determine who got a lottery pull.

And it led to fake 'surprises' like Cena being traded from one show to the other and then back again in the same hour. I'd be much happier if any new draft was just NXT picks and a few scattered trades like Miz to Raw or Sami to Smackdown.

You know that Ambrose was #2 in the Rumble and wrestled Triple H for the title just before that match, and main evented multiple PPVs and many months of TV before he fought Brock right? Or were Rollins and Reigns also midcarders when they fought Brock? Dean-o, for all that I really enjoy him, is absolutely booked and treated as a midcarder.

I'd say upper midcard. Could easily hang in the main event (as with his incredible matches against AJ) but he's best suited for matches towards the top of the card like his ones against KO and the Miz.

Dean is like early-mid 2000's Jericho. Not on the level of Cena, Reigns, or Styles, but just below that. I'd argue KO is more of a midcarder than Dean, which is really damning for Raw.
