Heavy Machinery rule and their inevitable match with AoP will be everything that is good and cool about wrestling.

The revival are a throwback to the Brainbusters. Heavy Machinery are a perfect representation of many people's favourite thing: big ugly dudes being big ugly wrestlers who present themselves purely as such.

They're big, they're a mix of muscle and fat, and they do big dude moves. I think they can do a lot better than 'slam their partner' as a finisher, though. If you listen to retro raw and nitro show, how they love the barbarian and Meng? Because they're different, and just do their style. WWE makes cookie cutter guys, and there's optimism that these guys might do a different style.

I love that Haitch's cardboard cutout apparently has lifts in the boots.

And yeah I need to catch up on this week for HEAVY MACHINERY because there's a place in the world for midcarders that look different and have the goofiest loving gimmick possible. Good goofy though, like this. Not bad goofy, like *five paragraphs of Dusty Rhodes-created gimmicks later...*

I lift my drink and sing a song

for who knows if life is short or long?


Man's life is like the morning dew

past days many, future days few

Man, when do the takeover and mania threads start? I had a dream where Asuka won at takeover, then Regal offer to have her vacate the title for a #1 contender spot on Smackdown. Then when Naomi regains the title, the announcers get to say "but she has to face Asuka next!" :supaburn:

And then Nakamura wins by DQ so he can't get the title, and Shane comes out dressed as Nakamura, does all the dances, and offers to have them join in a handicap match against AJ!

Reality won't be as good but I'm still pretty dang excited.

One looks like a slightly slimmer Earthquake, and the other as a slightly slimmer Typhoon. Plus for now they're really mobile, which could make them super intimidating when watching them work in ring against smaller dudes. I can't wait for them to make a stable with Braun Strowman called either The Pork Chop Express, or Constructicons, and Braun takes the nickname of Killdozer.

Nakamura's got a new shirt and it does not have the NXT branding. It seems that he has finally learned where cameras are and is finally ready for his big shot at the US Title.

I mean that looks nicer than the universal title, but that's mainly because black and gold is such a good combo

I assume the tournament won't actually have main roster women in it (possibly not current NXT talent either?), and that's just a publicity photo, cause that would seriously limit their ability to showcase new talent without putting them over all their current workers.

We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars like dust.



I doubt it will have any main roster talent, though it would be cool if someone like Alicia Fuuucks could be in it and actually have a decent length match for once.

The problem with creating Los Igobernables del Universo is that NXT is not big enough for two heel factions.

If anything, it should be Tucker slamming Otis onto the opponent.

I thought so too, but the level it "dropped to" was still pretty drat good. I'd be surprised if AOP ever have a match that good again.
