WWE does 1 good thing per year to keep baiting the Roman Reigns avatars into swearing WWE's product is great and they're about to turn it on. The week after this year's Wrestlemania was like hell on Earth. Vincels just taking victory lap after victory lap over Bad Bunny and Bianca and Reigns retaining.

It's been like 4 months and they've all went home already.

I can't imagine being so wrapped up into any media that I need to fight for it's honor online. Like these people are advertising a product for free in their spare time and getting nothing in return.

At this point I just want HHH to say gently caress it and start his own wrestling company with all the guys Vince will never love. Not even because I want to watch it but because it would be far more interesting that whatever NXT has become at the moment.

That’s what NXT was when it started. It was good. But it was also based on an always changing roster of wrestlers that kept it fresh due to call ups. Then his dream roster got taken away from him and all he was left with is performance center leftovers, which is the current state of NXT

I think things would be at least manageable for NXT if there was any sort of sense of logic or reason to the callups, but instead Vince will randomly call them up and go "Send me your 10 best guys TOMORROW" and everything NXT was doing is just immediately hosed. Or stuff like the Karrion Kross thing where he'll let the NXT talent keep appearing on NXT and Raw at the same time but they're completely different characters having completely conflicting storylines or whatever the gently caress.

What's especially wild is apparently it's just always been this way with WWE's developmental territories so it's not even a symptom of Vince's current brain-rot, that's just how he works.

It was hilarious that HHH once claimed that no one gets called up without a minimum of six months of booking mapped out ahead of time.

Every time HHH defends NXT callups it sounds more and more like he just lives in a fantasy world where everything is good and Vince is proud of his work.

But but but but Jeff Hardy was the World Champion like 13 years ago!!! Clearly that means he's being pushed exactly as hard now as he was then and it's actually completely understandable that the younger guy whose laid waste to the companies entire third brand can't lay a finger on him!!!!

My favorite thing about the match was them recreating Timbo so well that Mega64 was convinced for a sec that Vince or somebody else in management watches their videos

A couple of years ago after binging "Detrioters", I had a dream where Tim and Sam became wrestlers. Sam went by the name "Voyager Jones", so I consider this to be copyright infringement.

The red light is the best part because it was a choice that served zero purpose and actively detracted from the match. The DQ, The Fiend no selling ten curb stomps, those happened in the match. The light... why was there a heroin light over the match?

When they showed that rooftop set on Wrestlecrap, my immediate thought was that you couldn't pay me enough to get tossed onto the lower level. It looks very much like that crash mat is very close to the edge of the actual roof, and the barrier isn't much higher than the pad itself. Would I want to get thrown there at speed by some dude with zero safety training, especially knowing the WWE probably didn't give a flying rat's rear end about safety either?





Nope!

He’s not actually throwing them though? Mysterio and Black are doing all the work. He’s just moving them toward the wall and they jump flip over it. You know, like all flips in wrestling.
