I went to NXT Los Angeles last night. I saw Lars Sullivan bust open Oney Lorcan. I saw Riddick Moss botch running the ropes. I saw Sanity work babyface and get chants.

Resident Idiot posted:So Paul Ellering's role in the AOP is literally just to walk around now? They would have done better not having him in the opening segment. Paul Ellering is old and clearly not great at improvising promos but he's Paul fuckin Ellering

paul ellering would have gotten involved except sanity ripped up his book and that had all his plans on what to do if this happened he can't coach right without his playbook

Basic Chunnel posted:Roddy craters as a face without Roode's direct heeling. If Drew wins I'd probably count on Roddy turning heel. I don't know how he'd work otherwise. Was thinking if Drew beats Roddy then Roddy turns heel to chase Drew after Brooklyn for taking away his chance at revenge on Roode I also assume Roode gets called up after Summerslam in this scenario.

They obviously played the whole line of "he's a genius he's going to weaken down his opponent by having Roddy beat him up next week" but I hope they have Bobby do something next week, too.

The women's division is already buried by asuka, moving her up undefeated would be a marginal difference. What's important for booking to do is give asuka all three belts somehow. The only way to beat asuka without feeling cheap is a bane-vs-batman style gauntlet where she has to fight incredible opponents consecutively on a saturday-sunday-monday-tuesday before losing the final fight

asuka should only lose when she is distracted by james ellsworth and rolled up by carmella, the princess of staten island

http://www.espn.com/wwe/story/_/id/20287720/wwe-nxt-asuka-historic-nxt-women-championship-reign Notable quote: quote:After such a long period of dominance in NXT, the next question (and the inevitable one) -- when will she move to either Raw or SmackDown? Then, the follow-up -- will she or should she drop the championship before leaving? Or does she carry a certain value with her if she gets the call-up while still undefeated in one-on-one matches?

St Evan Echoes posted:Worked wonders for Bayley Bayley (and Emma) has a gimmick that requires nuance and consistency in its writing, which is something WWE has neither of. If you can somehow convince Vince to just book Asuka like Braun when she gets called up, she'll be fine. "Wrestler who wrecks fools" is the one story that WWE manages to get right sometimes.

Disappointed so see now discussion about the Street Profits owning. Montez Ford is a star in the making and social media savvy dudes is a remarkably relevant gimmick (that would absolutely tank in the hands of Vince McMahon). Now if we could just get them in front of a better crowd that isn't tired and/or trying to hear Mauro yell about Migos.

Bayley's gimmick works if your scheduling tapes 4 shows at once so you're not working weekly matches, you do one promo a quarter and have a crowd that's so far up their own asses they make their own alien xenomorph tongue mouth wanting to get their stuff over.

The tag team of Steve Cutler and Wesley Blake has been green lit for NXT TV going forward: Someone who goes local NXT shows described them as having an "unspoken twang of a racist Revival". So watch out Street Prophets.

Apparently working the house show tonight in St. Petersburg besides Kairi is also Shayna and Dakota Kai. Shayna was out of left field for me, to be honest. Also: https://www.instagram.com/p/BXoiU7jB_ki/ Dakota, Kairi, and Aliyah vs The Iconic Duo and Shayna. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Aug 11, 2017 |

I haven't rewatched but I think he DID drop him head first except Ford managed to get his hands down and catch himself. That match was dead but SP really have potential.

dromal phrenia posted:lol so blake is back and going to be on TV regularly while Murphy isn't? Murphy is considered as "uncoachable" aka has a bad attitude and/or has rubbed coaches up the wrong way. WWE doesn't really release people anymore and his relationship with Alexa Bliss will likely save him but if WWE was more trigger happy he'd likely be released. No clue if he is in Total Divas or not or how much for the record.

Or Blake is being given a gimmick that's dead on arrival, moving him one step closer to being released, and Murphy isn't. Or I just got scooped.
