here's the Tatanka/Mountie match B&V were raving about. It really is good

it reminds me of the mankind/michaels match in that there is constantly interesting poo poo happening but it is not built around nearfalls at all.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values

rovert posted:

If you want advanced Vince will ruin NXT paranoia Sunday's Wrestling Observer Live will scratch that itch.

Bryan Alvarez rightfully buried the NXT Breakout Tournament Final on today's Bryan and Vinny. ACH and Trevor Lee doing the most boring WWE match possible. Not good. Especially when eventually going against AEW.

Very WWE to feel like the answer to their woes is MORE of the same boring, tired product already on TV for 5 hours per week.

This is 100% 'stick it to Cody and Tony', which is why I hope against hope that AEW beats NXT in the ratings in the first month of head to head because Vince will implode.

I don't remember NXT doing good numbers last time it was on tv. Granted it was on like Syfy or something.

I had just started really, truly watching wrestling when this happened, and I had a junior high school friend who was adamant that I was an idiot for caring about Steve Austin and the WWF when the Ultimate Warrior was back.

I remember convincing my parents to get Halloween Havoc 98... gently caress. Though at that point Royal Rumble 90 was the greatest show I'd ever seen.

Some of the turns of phrase Dave uses are really, really unintentionally funny. When he was responding to some asking if Fox was angry Vince went with USA for NXT:

Dave: There’s some egg on their face. But it’s private egg.

While that's good for Raw fans, am I the only one that's annoyed that Vince will only put out a good product when competition is nipping at his heels?

AEW will probably do a million at least in curiosity alone i guess, i’m deeply biased against NXT so i’ll probably be wrong but i can’t fathom there are even a million people alive today who could enjoy NXT’s main event scene, they need to step away from the scrawny, short dudes and put actual attractions like Keith Lee, Dream, and Riddle in those spots. The only thing NXT does better than AEW right now is diversity, the whiteness of AEW’s men’s division is at an unacceptable level.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

My favourite Lance is his "gimmick" was that he was that jacked but not on roids. Its funny both because it was a sideways acknowledgement of endemic steroid abuse still and also Lance pretty clearly was roiding.
