I'll watch him wrestle any time, but to get invested in his story he'd have to have a look and character more fitting of his shitbody. Like somewhere between Mankind and Stan Hansen. And drop the pretty boy moves that he uses. If he acted like a big, ugly elbow monster he'd be on the main roster already.

Probably true, but I'm sure that 40 year old career mediocre indie guy Robert Roode is the future of WWE, on account of them giving him a theme song that people like Furthermore, Tye Dillinger is a future world champ and Blue Pants is the truth

DEAR RICHARD posted:why'd they bring him back? So the indies couldn't have him They're torn between hating the people they sign, and hating other companies (who are competing with them) profiting from said people. Inevitably they'll hate the former less in this situation

Basic Chunnel posted:He had a lot of hype with the demo they want for NXT and they think he can draw However if they refuse to put him over or use him effectively, they're basically going to kill his ability to draw with that crowd. 8 minute TV matches with the Drifter aren't why he got the hype on the indies. I'm afraid they're going to try and use him to put over Almas and it's going to do the same thing that using Tye for that did, where not enough of the people in the building care about Almas/Sombra and they all love Hero, so poor Andrade gets buried by going over the guy the audience wants.

The only thing that would really get me to pay attention to NXT at this point is an Almas push

I honestly would prefer a fatal four way between Nakamura/Ohno/Roode/Almas than two singles matches even if Ohno/Almas has the potential to be one of the better matches of the weekend.

I figured turning Almas heel would have been the start of his push but they've been doing nothing with him.

The_Rob posted:I figured turning Almas heel would have been the start of his push but they've been doing nothing with him. It's fairly typical WWE booking to turn a guy just to turn him, not actually having an angle in mind that would matter or heat him up/put anyone else over. See also: Ziggler, Dolph, 2017.

mfcrocker posted:Why the hell is Trips hot on the Drifter? I'd be super fine never seeing him on TV ever again The Drifter is inexplicably really good at drawing heat. I was at a house show in Detroit and he got one of the louder reactions before he even did his heel act (which was playing a song that got drowned out by boos before the match). One of the louder reactions was when he got kicked in the face by Sami Zayn after Tye got injured and they sent him out to attack Sami because they still needed Sami to do his finisher to make the crowd happy.

Drifter has the early Roddy Piper heat like when he would come out and purposely play the bagpipes like poo poo

It's good easy heat to get, and that's totally cool and fun. My issue with the drifter is I feel like there is someone backstage who feels that he can be the next top babyface badass character.

Yeah, I've mostly turned the corner on Corbin, mainly due to his Talking Smack stuff. I still wish they'd find a way to get characters over on their actual TV shows instead of a half-kayfabe talk panel aftershow, but it's still done wonders for a few people.

They're doing a trump angle with Dutch. They're also doing another independent trump angle with Lashley.

Post-match DCC argue among themselves, teasing yet another tag breakup Braxton Sutter wins a four-way featuring Marshe Rockett, DJZ, and Caleb Konley Cody prevents Brandi from fighting KC Quinn, offering KC $45 to leave; $20 more than she'd earn with the fight. Cody challenges Moose for the Grand title. Rosemary attacks KC Bruce Pritchard says Impact had hope years ago. TNA is dead, Impact Wrestling going forward. Face of the company is Lashley. Alberto Del Rio out to challenge him. EC3 says Del Rio must earn it, but Lashley says EC3 certainly hasn't Dutch says the fans will make Impact great again. MAGA count at 3 (Pritchard, Lashley, Dutch) Garza Jr and Laredo Kid defeat Eli Drake and Tyrus Sienna defeats Racheal Ellering Slammiversary July 2 Del Rio vs Lashley ends in 2 ref bumps, Dusty Finish, closing argument between everyone, and Del Rio leaving with the belt.
