sometimes they should put people in the crowd who aren't signing. That way, there is indisputable evidence that merely showing someone who happens to be at your show does not interfere with a no-compete clause. the person can say they did not wish to be filmed. the person should have their real name show up underneath them, and an explanation of where they are signed to. if they get fired because of this, it's not the company's fault and even if it is, no one will care pretty quick. it's a win/win/win situation

i totally agree, but wwe is carny as gently caress and looks at other companies like they're all run by equally insane vince counterparts.

that would be kind of cool, though, just a little minor cross promotion, and something to get people buzzing if it really is less of a sure thing. if the green bay packers can be announced as the green bay packers at ringside, i mean, why not.

STOP DOING HEROIN
WWE is still really weird about wanting to pretend they're the only promotion in the world, even when that flies against all logic and reason these days.

I remember when Styles first came in, Mauro said something innocuous like "it was an honor calling his matches in New Japan Pro Wrestling," and then Lawler loving steamrolled him with DUUUUUUR IT ONLY MATTERS WHAT YOU DO IN WWE.

it shouldn't be cross-promotion. it should be NXT using other companies to make themselves look more legitimate, even at risk to the person in the audience. ideally you would want to show them on camera and explain where they work without their knowledge or consent, leaving them to coldly realize that they might be in trouble while looking at their own face on the big screen.

I know WWE loves the "undeserving heel champ" bullshit

it's because the only way in wwe to be a heel is to be a weak baby who has friends and loved ones, only the solitary, boot strapped ubermensch who shows no mercy and calls your balls small is the true hero

Holy poo poo, NXT Live in Riverside was loads of fun:

- Street Profits (went over Sabbatelli & Moss) are of the chart entertaining live, and so is Heavy Machinery who steamrolled through Cutler & Blake;
- Billie Kay's theme is bumping live. Vanessa Borne's less so;
- Cole vs Strong was everything I hoped it would be, crowd was split between Adam and Roddy;
- LARS is massive, goddamn. He had a slobberknocker of a match with Ohno. Ohno came up short;
- Peyton won (with Billie's "help") a four-way between herself, Nikki, Ember & Kairi in a loving great match. Calling the Iconic Duo winning & defending the Women's Title under Freebird rule right now. We were all popping for Nikki hard tho;
- Aleister & Drew won over Andrade & The Velveteen Dream (D-R-E-A-M) in a fun back and forth affair.

After the main event Drew got on the mic, thanked the crowd (which was hot the entire night) and then said that they had loads of fun on their short west coast tour and that it's time for a west coast TakeOver. He then asked us to let "Uncle Paul" know how much we want it. We obliged.

Also, Ronda Rousey & Travis Browne were sitting like 15 feet away from our group and seemed to have loads of fun, too. Ronda even got a chant after the show was over and then took a few pics with the fans.

AAA+++ would take a 4 hour drive one-way to see NXT again.

I'm glad you had fun. Given, the results you see here aren't an indicator of what the actual takeover will be like.

On an unrelated note, I hope that IF they put the title on Peyton, they don't let it be defended under freebird rules (also that the reign is very short. a chickenshit heel can hold the belt for a bit, just don't make it 3+ months). Peyton is okay in the ring, but Billie Kay is a dumpster fire.

Oh yeah, I realize that, and that Freebird rule was mentioned half-jokingly too. As much as I like the Iconic Duo, Billie being relegated to an enforcer / distraction type role would be for the best. I think she does a good big boot tho.

Yup, which ties into the point that I don't think they should hold onto the title for awhile either. They are "popular" now (Billie and Peyton got absolutely no reaction on NXT this week, fwiw), but will probably veer into X-Pac heat if they do the chickenshit heel route.

Figure that Black goes over (whether Dream survives that is a question), Drew goes over and then TUE wins the Wargamez leading to Cole challenging. Women's is a toss-up. Lars and Ohno have been working their match for months so hopefully that's good, I'm expecting Lars to win.
