Karrion Kross is definitely winning the title off Balor, he hangs with the right kind of people: https://twitter.com/JoeyOnEarth/status/1372651492692402179 Actually surprised these fuckers managed to put on masks, I thought putting on masks would immediately cause them to melt into a puddle of water or something.

graph posted:kross sucks. like what are the available plotlines It's classic "NXT loves to book themselves into a corner." If Balor wins, there's nothing for Kross to do that makes any sense, so I guess you call him up? And if Balor wins, who's left for him to feud with that anyone would care about? If Balor loses, then there's nothing for him to do in NXT, and he's been vocal about not wanting to go back to the main roster. If Kross wins, then I guess he feuds with KOR eventually? Some sort of Dexter Lumis bullshit?

Ciampa should theoretically be going after Kross at some point but yeah there isn't much that makes sense after that. I hope to see Balor and Kushida before they decide to send him back for another round with the new Fiend. Procrastinator posted:Balor vs Walter is a distinct possibility This too.

Some sort of Dexter Lumis bullshit? You could have two people interfere in that match. Ciampa could interfere which sets up Kross vs Ciampa if Kross is slated to lose or Balor vs Ciampa if Balor is slated to lose. The second person can come out after the match and beat up on the champion in order to set up the next rivalry for the championship.

Googling around it appears to be connected with gun advocacy (going back like 70 years) but that does tend to lead down the rabbit hole of alt-right wackos.

He's okay at the strong style trappings, but can't elevate beyond. He does alright at looking like a badass, but occasionally fails (that stupid polo), so I certainly wouldn't have him champion of my company.

It's not about whether or not your lad used to be a bouncer - that's not even particularly relevant. It's that he looks like a generic enemy sprite from a mid-90's Capcom beat-em-up.

https://www.pwinsider.com/article/145088/wwe-nxt-tv-update.html?p=1 PWInsider.com has heard from multiple sources this morning that WWE's production schedule for the month of April now lists WWE NXT for Tuesdays every week post Wrestlemania weekend. The first episode will be Tuesday 4/13 following Wrestlemania 37 and every Tuesday thereafter, NXT will air the night after Raw. Unless there are plans to run a replay the day after, the move effectively leaves AEW Dynamite alone on Wednesdays, so it will be interesting to track what the viewing patterns for each show will be once they separate. This move would put Impact Wrestling opposite WWE NXT, so expect AXS TV to shift Impact programming to Thursdays so that series remains unopposed.

This is a much better move for wrestling as a whole. I love it. Anything to stop pitting people against each other for wrestling, which needs a revitalization for the greater good.

I think the damage has already been done in terms of making this a tribal war. NXT killed a lot of the good will it had built up by being positioned against aew, and a lot of NXT fans that might have watched aew at the start have now had a year and a half of it being explicit competition that they need to justify watching NXT over. Both shows will probably see an increase in viewers, but there will likely be less crossover than if the war never happened.

It is an interesting theory: there would be less AEW Console Warriors if the WWE hadn’t made it a war. It makes sense. But people here hate WWE so much (rightfully so) now that I wonder if NXT ever had a chance.

in my opinion the pointlessness of nxt in how anyone is treated on the main roster did as much or possibly more more to hurt nxt's popularity here than going against aew. I would still watch takeovers if it meant anything

I calmly change my mind, and concede that going against aew was a much bigger issue. very embarrassing thing i said. But you must know in order to have a full and clear picture, that many people were done with the development brand before dynamite started
