STOP DOING HEROIN
The thing with Tino is that he's been in the PC forever and never rose above "house show jobber" level, while other pure developmental guys passed him by and got over enough to get regular spots (Heavy Machinery spring to mind).

Basically he's entering sink-or-swim mode, so I'm fine with just throwing him out there on TV and seeing if something clicks. If he still sucks then whatever, you tried, but if he surprises people then you might have something worth building on.

Kairi Hojo's last STARDOM match May 28th.

The outcome of this match tonight might be a big hat tip towards who will join Hojo in NXT:

OFFICIAL RACIST
STARDOM's official (english) twitter account is claiming they will announce when her last match is (May 28th apparently isn't her last date).

https://twitter.com/we_are_stardom/status/863339157946380288

Tokyo Sports is claiming her last match is sometime in June though.

Off-topic, but Shirai vs Storm has the potential to be an MOTYC.

I'm not at all surprised at the fast track. He doesn't need ring work, his presence makes him need less promo time, and he came prepackaged with a rock-solid look and character. That's basically all you need for main roster.

There is a pretty ridiculous amount of kick and knee strike finishers in WWE right now.

Strike finishers are common right now, but Black does it the best.

I hope they give him serious input on his merch because WWE could easily gently caress that part of his push up really badly.

The gif I posted is him vs Hero at PWG Don't Sweat the Technique. He also has a match against Zach Sabre Jr at Bola that's real good.

eurotrash vs. mt rushmore from bola and hero/end vs. callihan/sabre from some evolve show are good. i dont recall getting particularly up for any of his singles. i would not have him work long wwe main event style i would have him squash guys with knockouts

aj going for a forearm and black hits him with a spinning heel kick in midair

gently caress yes.

Y'all are crazy wrong about Black. He's ok in the ring but he will loving bomb horribly on the main roster if he ever makes it there.

His character is cheesy as gently caress and he looks like a bum. He's going to get Ascensioned, if he's lucky.

As a referee for the Women's tournament/NXT https://twitter.com/SCsirens/status/864256118100344833

There's talk of the Women's Tournament having an all-female presence with Kennadi Brink being looked at as a referee - names mentioned as announcers were Renee Young and Charly Caruso, maybe using Lita or Beth Phoenix, or even Bayley or Charlotte as announcers.

Bayley's enthusiasm would match CWC Daniel Bryan without the shackles of WWE scripting. Not that she'd be as good as him because he's great on the mic, but it probably wouldn't be so bad.
