Yeah I'm way on board the Aleister Black train. I'm hoping for a HHH level over the top special entrance for Takeover.

Johnny Gargano is the protagonist of the wrestling anime called life and has won me over completely. His finisher should be a forearm shot surrounded by glowing energy from his Rebel Heart, and whenever he hits a heel with it at a PPV they should disintegrate like a DBZ villain. He's the best. Roderick Strong can be Krillin.

I haven't watched NXT in awhile but I saw chatter on twitter about AB v KO and logged right the gently caress in. I was NOT disappointed. I WILL be disappointed when Aleister Black moves up to the main roster and becomes either a cowardly heel or a Bray Wyatt weirdo. But for now?  edit: My hope is that Black's appearance and physical charisma is enough to convince the writers to give him material that compliments his presence. I could see him being something like a scheming Sean O'Haire or Raven type charismatic gothy weirdo who is also deadly in a fight.

Maybe he asked for it? They weren't doing anything and he's like the creator of wrestling in China. Maybe he just wanted to be back doing that? Alternatively, he's bad and as much as I loved yelling "HO HO!" anytime I saw him, he really didn't seem to have much of an upside.

Could one of the other recent signees have taken over that role? In some of the recent NXT slice of life videos, one of the women (can't remember which) seemed super fluent.

Echoing that O'Reily/Black was a great match, worth going out of your way for. It also makes me wanna see Black/Oney and KO/Oney But they have to do something about the tapings, whether it's too long or what it seems like the crowds are half dead now

Ho Ho wanted to open up a wrestling school and it clashed with what WWE wanted to do in China. They had also found more Chinese wrestlers and a good translator for their trainees. John Cena is also learning Mandarin to open up to the market, and WWE might try and open up an Australian/Japan/China title like they did with the UK to try and combat NJPW. I'm not sure WWE knows that there's a huge disconnect between the Chinese market because there's two different major languages (Mandarin and Cantonese) but they're starting to see them as a market they can expand into just like they're trying to do with Jinder/India.

VJeff posted:If you take the Jinder push as evidence, they clearly don't. The media consumed by 99.9% of Chinese people is vastly different, at a fundamental level, from Westerners. There would have to be some sort of major culture shift at the same time as the genesis of an extreme Chinese idol type figure for the WWE to crack into it that market, if the PRC's government even allowed it (highly unlikely). Even something more basic and accessible as sports programming isn't viewed in the same way as in America. Live entertainment event experiences are also very different there. People say its a huge untapped market, but I would counter that its an *untappable* market. Middle Kingdom Wrestling (which is actually owned by an expat) is a pioneer in the same way that those who died of dysentery on the Oregon Trail were pioneers. Pick the worst local Indie fed in Appalachia, and it'd still be better attended and with a better product than what their running in Hong Kong/Guangdong. The best performers are washed up Japan indie failures (at best) and the viewers are a tiny smattering of expats or friends of the performers. If you think Hoho is bad, understand he's the best of the bunch and is using his limited experience as a trainer.
