If the network does go I'll be sad about the loss of archived content. That's literally the only reason to have the network.

Stardom pre-emptively blocked Brad Shepard on all of their twitter accounts (its a thing with their English-speaking person; he'll sometimes go on block fests that often catch people that tweet critical things but in this case he was right) which we all learned when he tweeted moaning about it when he tried to go on their twitter after the Bushiroad acquisition was announced to probably find something to moan about. I imagine its something he'll continually bring up whenever they do anything with New Japan or in the US since he's kind of gotten to about it.forkboy84 posted:Why would anyone but the 10,000 WWE fans in Japan want to see this? Like, there's not enough homogenised WWE style wrestling for you to watch every week between Raw, Smackdown, NXT, NXT UK & Main Event? You need to see Kaito Kiyomiya turned into an automaton who wrestles like everyone else on the show because god forbid someone feels unique & actually gets over? I mean most of those probably won't be interested in the thing: since people that are WWE fans in Japan want to see the big name stars from the main roster; they don't want to see minor league Japanese wrestling with the WWE label stuck onto it. If they wanted to watch Japanese wrestling they'd watch one of the many companies that run regularly; its not exactly hard to do. Its the same thing with NXT UK really: they mainly draw from the bits of the hardcore base that don't mind WWE (a dwindling number it seems like) while the 'mainstream' WWE fans aren't interested since they want to see Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch; not Trent Seven.

There's obviously a long list of Candice LeRae, Sami Zayn, Gallows and Anderson, Asuka and Saine, Balor, Nakamura, Joe, etc they're in the process of ruining. gently caress, I always forget they employ Uhaa Nation and Samuray del Sol. And I JUST realized that Metalik is Mascara Dorada. What the gently caress, WWE?! But like WWE kinda flat out "ruined" Mistico/Sin Cara. He was one of the hottest acts on the globe when he signed and I literally don't even know what name he's going by now. They also tried real real hard to "ruin" KENTA. And they seemed to flat out break ACH in a very not funny way.

They made Ricochet uncool and also neutered his moveset when only a few years earlier he was better than Will Ospreay.

Caristico, and he's mostly bounced back but it took a long rear end time. He's also not nearly the star he was as Mistico I.

Holding the woman's tag belts is only slightly more prestigious than being 24/7 champ at this point.

The most WWE thing is KUSHIDA came in feeling like he'd done everything he possibly could in NJPW and was running in place, and he was booked so poorly in NXT that it was a huge improvement when they revived the Time Splitters, something that would have been an obvious demotion in NJPW.

KUSHIDA going to the tall guy promotion and becoming completely irrelevant was the most predictable outcome imaginable.

I feel bad because like he's about as old as KENTA was when he got out, so like this is probably just it for him.Benne posted:Let's be fair now, he also had a bunch of white dudes literally throw him in the trash But... why?

It’s amazing that Neville came off as one of the biggest losers in WWE and now in AEW he is the 3rd coolest guy on a roster with a lot of cool guys. The only people cooler are Penta and Fenix who are among the coolest in the world.

That guy was making a name for himself as "the man gravity forgot" 15 years ago. He spent like 7 years in WWE. There are people who were born and are driving since PAC was an indie star. Its a miracle he escaped and may actually still get his chance to become a major star. And weirdly he's only 33.

He’s got too cool of a look (looking like an insanely jacked version of the dwarf king from the hobbit movies) and is apparently too good of a promo not to become a star. The video promos he’s been doing for his match with omega have been so badass.

At the very least, he developed his promo ability and character work in his time at WWE. I don't think he would be nearly as confident on the mic if he just stayed in Dragon Gate the whole time.
