they removed the Matt because googles of Matt Riddle resulted in "Matt Riddle is a rapist" stories

making it Riddle resulted in no such results

looking up Riddle Wrestler resulted in Matt Riddle is a rapist stories anyway

Like, two years at this point? Ever since they took him of 205 Live and made him R-Truth's main rival for the 24/7 title. He got eaten by a shark at one point.

I mean both the top champs on NXT are completely devoid of any redeeming qualities. Anyone who is even remotely smart could tell you that taking the titles off of Balor and Shirai and putting them on Kross and Raquel could tell you that was a bad idea. Of course there were those who thought that it would result in them bringing in a new bright era for NXT when in reality it backfired massively.

Hell, now that I look at it, the only real charismatic/interesting champions in NXT at the moment are Io (who is paired with the least charismatic and least interesting woman on the roster though) and Swerve. Also follow up from a post I saw last week about the legacy kid having the advantage in life, apparently:

quote:

So if last weeks lesson was if you work really hard and struggle for years, eventually you can achieve a fluke success before being thoroughly put in your place by a legacy kid who’s been advantaged their whole life. Then this weeks lesson was it doesn't matter if you're beaten for 95% of your life. As long as the other person beats themselves people will look on you as a winner.

Does whatever they call the Rosemont Horizon these days regularly sell out when WWE is in town? Because I have no idea otherwise why they keep having RAWs there when the arena's about 6,000 years old and falling apart, and the crowd always shits all over everything.

They don't regularly sell out many buildings, but it's cheaper and smaller than the United Center and they do well in the Chicago area. Plus it's their traditional building.
