I assume EY or Roddy is just gonna hide for the 3 minutes where the other 6 are in the ring. Just scramble to the other ring, maybe.

The standard format wouldn't work for the 3 way, I don't think, because it's designed to give ebb and flow to heat segments, but with three teams, the heat and shine doesn't work the same way.

A cage with a roof gave us Sid destroying Brian Pillman. gently caress WWE for not using a cage with a roof. And lowering the people in from above. Why bother calling it War Games?

It gave us this:

Steve Williams was strong.

I'm fine with no roof, it allows them to do more big spots, flying, crane, shark cages - since they can't bleed they'll be taking massive risks elsewhere rather than safe controlled bleeding. If there is interference, on the other hand, I'll call the lack of roof bullshit.

The lack of roof will make it easier and safer when the strong sturdy Authors of Pain throw Adam Cole and his Interchangeable Twink Gang into space

If there was one thing to enjoy from watch Regal officially announce War Games, it would be getting to see the contrast of how excited Sanity was compared to Adam Cole looking like he’d seen a ghost.

If its a person we know, I'm guessing it's Blake.

Blake was last on TV getting killed by Drew Mac in May, and before that, last September vs Murphy. He's also losing almost every house show.

Honestly, the faction might not have heated up without his injury. Dane taking his spot was a big development for them and Fulton was definitely the weakest wrestler of the group so he'd just hamper them.

Not so sure Dain actually took Fulton's spot.

More Dain was a later arrival in NXT/America due to waiting on a VISA and Fulton getting hurt coincided.

quote:

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed NXT trainee Leo Gao was released from his contract today and an injury he suffered over the summer may have played a part.

Gao was informed of his release today and tweeted afterward, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never konw [sp] what you’re going to get. So should be keep smile!”

Although he never appeared on TV, Leo was a favorite amongst everyone at the WWE Performance Center after he was hired following a tryout in China. WWE.com even ran an article listing reasons as to why he might become your favorite recruit.

Our sources tell us Leo injured his neck during training back in August and, even though he was recently cleared for limited action, it was a very serious injury.

I don't think Leo Gao getting cut was necessarily a bad look for WWE (at least in the fact of people caring), partially because he was never used on TV or any of their network shows. This is on top of the fact that outside of very niche circles on the internet (Reddit, PSP), no one really knew or cared about him.

Rovert, any idea if there are more cuts planned? I mean I wouldn't be shocked if TM-61 could be on the chopping block, partially because the only match they've worked recently is a dark match, and they pretty much got squashed, from what I understand.

The person who told me about Leo said Sawyer and Leo were the only two they knew. Both seriously injured.

TM-61 are fine.

Anyway NXT followed through with what was said on TV this week:
