Butt first, let's
check the feeds.


WWE spent a long time telling its viewers that it IS wrestling and a lot of them believe it. EMF made the exact same argument in the WWE thread a couple of weeks ago.

Also no one seems to be reading the "wrestling in" part of that.

WWE spent a long time telling its viewers that it's sports entertainment, so I don't see why their marks are so threatened by a wrestling company. They're clearly not the same thing

I did, and have been consistent with my belief that if wrestling (which survived before Vince and HHH) cannot survive without Vince and HHH, I'm okay with it not surviving. As is, it doesn't stand a chance With them anyway (see the state of Britwres in the NXTUK era)

Well when you put something like 75% of all marketable wrestlers under one banner, proceed not to use them productively(if at all) then you wonder why your popularity dries up, you deserve everything that happens to you.

Wrestling is a solved problem. WWE is actively doing their best to unsolve the problem. They deserve to die.

They’ve been forced to do multi woman matches for months because they already have too many wrestlers there. I dunno, maybe elevate one of them first. Or at least try? They didn’t have a main heel for years because of Shayna but she’s gone now and they made no effort to replace her.

They are 200% going to job Io out to Charlotte and probably mortally wound her heel gimmick in the process

Probably the last objectively great match she was in was the one-on-one against Ronda Rousey when she subbed in for Becky who was concussed.

She’s had okay matches at best but she’s a 6 treated like a 10 by the WWE.

It's just insane to me that they will literally sacrifice any and all the women on the roster to the altar of Charlotte Flair. First it was Sasha, then Bayley, then Asuka, then Becky, and then Kairi, and now Rhea. Really the only reason Becky got so over in the first place was the fact that the fans outright rejected her heel turn because Charlotte was so unlikable in their feud.

No-one on the main roster would be a better fit for the developmental brand famous for valuing match quality than someone who has had maybe one debatably decent match in the past 2 years and has seriously hurt people on at least one occasion.

As an AEW fan who wants AEW to do well in the ratings, I'm extremely hyped for Charlotte Flair returning to NXT.

Also I'm here in the thread for the WWE fans who will respond to "eh it wasn't for me" with "WHAT NOT TOKYO DOME ENOUGH FOR YOU?!" re: Funhouse Match

I thought Io WAS NXT's top heel?

I was actually hoping Bianca would be the one who would feud with and beat Charlotte but she's gotten called up apparently... which is probably for the best.

Yeah, that, her Asuka match in December, and the TLC match with Asuka and Becky are her last ones to get ***3/4+ from Uncle Dave.

Early voters on Cagematch are falling over themselves to praise the Rhea match, with the rating on that being her highest since the TLC match (and higher than the Rousey one!).

The Rhea match was OK, but the first half of it dragged and was not good, and the second half I thought had some pretty notable flaws even aside from the obvious wrong ending. It was not blown away.
