Are you sure I'm winning the Rumble? That does'nt seem right.....

I know he won't even be free by then, but I'm just loling at the idea of Bray doing the G1.

It's not a hootenanny, it's an extravsganza!
I think Bray is a "cut him and try to re-sign him at half the cost" situation. If they can have him but way cheaper great, if not, they save money on his contract anyway.

He's pissed about creative, so it's gonna take more than that.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He could hold out for more money given the crowd is in open rebellion over his firing which would be the most WWE late stage WCW thing.

maybe it's just wishful thinking, but I'm getting heavy Oni vibes from that drawing. if Bray were to spend some time working Japan, I could see him doing an oni-inspired gimmick.

"Oni are born when truly wicked humans die and end up in one of the many Buddhist Hells, transformed into Oni. They become the ogreish and brutal servants of Great Lord Enma, ruler of Hell, wielding iron clubs with which they crush and destroy humans solely for enjoyment."

Not sure how that would play to a Japanese audience, but a westerner playing the role of brutish demon doesn't seem too out of place to me.

bray's release is not real. it was mixed in with all the real ones in order to get fans to chant about rehiring him at shows and generally be disruptive and very "careing." they want to manufacture another "we want matt" situation and put bray wyatt back over. this time for good.

You're probably right, but my mind jumps to the guy with a giant Oni tattooed on his back. Who also is way over-the-top with his character LORE.

I mean he’s not wrong about that era of NXT seemingly providing an alternative to the main roster WWE and building a fanbase of hardcore fans who loved it. I doubt he ever saw it as a true alternative because NXT was meant to be a pathway to the main roster not a thing standing alone by itself.

Also he looks like poo poo lol

Enzo is amazing in that he is a pure product of NXT, was a great talker, and despite all the time in developmental he couldn't even bump let alone do moves.

Also he was a multi time champion on the main roster.

The biggest crime of when wikipedia removed move lists was that it removed that for a time Enzo's finisher was listed as "Tag-in Big Cass"

Why did the editors make the decision to remove move lists anyway? That's like removing a list of a comic book character's superpowers.

There was a Wiki admin that was so mad about Zack Ryder that even after he had his IC title run, he kept deleting his personal page and lumping him with Curt Hawkins as the Major Bros years after the team had broke up

I've never forgiven Wiki nerds for deciding MMA events didn't need dedicated pages. loving pointless. Especially as it only applies to English language Wikipedia.

Wasn't it that one of the wikipedia editors runs the biggest pro-wrestling wikia, so they have a commercial incentive for people to visit that instead. Oh sorry I mean editorial standards.

Wikipedia was terrible about Lucha Underground spoilers too. They insisted that title changes on tapings HAD to be recognized from the day they were taped, despite LU taping in blocks and airing matches out of order, and not recognizing title reigns until the airdate - and that live fans had NDAs for tapings.

It was like saying that a character dying on a drama series died on the day their death scene was filmed, not the episode that aired. Just a bunch of wiki nerds & wrestling trolls patting themselves on the back for firstposting scoops.
