I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

They invented a big match ending spot that looks a thousand times shittier and less impactful than a simple table spot
It's a spot that they can't (Or shouldn't) do in front of live crowds, weeks before they go back on the road. But seeing as it was decided Thursday Night to put the Rey/Roman match on TV I'm guessing there's absolutely no forwards thinking to begin with.

probably had rey land on a crash pad too. the way they shot & edited it was perfect for hiding that.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



I do love the implication of making the NXT Champion wrestle a dark match. He may be the champ of your "indy" fed, HHH, but that still doesn't mean he's good enough for the "real" show.

I assumed the dark match was Vince wanting to see if Kross can do anything other than be a lumbering oaf. Like maybe Vince found Tommy End's character bible under a pile of his office papers and wanted to use the ideas from it.

seems like you could get the booker of the show he's champ of to book the kind of match you want to see him do then instead of rounding him up to work at ten PM on a Friday, at least then you wind up with content for your content grist mill

Why bother, if he goes to Smackdown he'll be having matches that he first hears of at like 9 pm on a Friday anyways

The entire idea of a dark match is that you don't want it being content for the mill because shock and horror, what if he can't do it exactly how Vince wants it done. It will have to be scrapped and he will have to be flogged and publicly embarrassed for not being able to do the exact vision that is in Vince's dying mind palace.

It doesn't even seem he'd need crash pad for that. Sure, might as well use one I guess, but it looks like very typical cage bump.

Charlotte complaining about her booking again, acting like she doesn't need the title, but it would "be nice to have a good long reign with the RAW or Smackdown title".

Which is an about face from probably a previous interview where she said her character needs the title, and the other women do not. That's also ignoring that Asuka and Sasha especially got hosed over by bad booking during their title runs, so its not unique to her.

Kona's coming back soon I guess

Fightful posted:

We've had a lot of inquiries for an update on Kona Reeves, who has been out of action for over 15 months following a surgery. We're told he's been back at the Performance Center for quite some time and is more than good to go, and has been making creative pitches for a significant character change based on what we've seen of him in the past. Reeves was briefly given a push in 2018 before being pushed back down the card, but we've had numerous guest coaches specifically point him out as someone they've enjoyed working with when they came in for spots at the Performance Center.

Butt first, let's

I turned on the FS1 SD replay while I was doing chores and like 5 minutes in Nakamura's remixed theme song was so physically painful to listen to I found something else as background noise.

The evolution of Nakamura's theme is something. He had one of the best themes in NJPW ever, and his theme in NXT was an instant hit. When they wanted to turn him heel on the main roster they remixed it with rock guitars so people couldn't "sing along" with his theme anymore and it's been diminishing ever since.

Vince really loving hates when people enjoy the themes of people on the main roster. Bobby Roode got similar treatment. Before that it was Fandango who got taken off TV when his theme got organically over post Wrestlemania and went viral and WWE were confused when WWE sucked the fun out of it by saying "LOOK MAGGLE THEY'RE FANDAGOING EVERYONE DO THE FANDANGO" over and over on TV.

His gimmick is "The Finest" where he wears fancy clothes and jewelry but acts like a goober.

Back when he was on the Florida house show loop his gimmick was what I can only describe as "opioid addict". He would come out all disheveled and would constantly itch his face. In the ring he would act spaced out and would keep referring to his opponent as his friend and try to hug him. It was weird.

8 years in NXT and about an hour combined on television.

Not as bad as Danny Burch who's been in NXT since 2011. Johnny Gargano, Tamasso Ciampa, and Oney Lorcan have also been on the brand pretty consistently since 2015 but I think Gargano and Ciampa stayed there by choice
