Jeff Cobb was on Jericho two years ago and talked about his failed WWE try out “Rich Swann, No Way Jose, and Montez Ford were all in my [tryout] class,”When I was doing a check-in, I looked down and saw a clipboard and it had ‘Athletes’ and “Indie Workers.’ I was like, ‘Come on. I was in the Olympics.’ I was under Indie workers. The former football players and CrossFit guys were under athletes. You’d be surprised how many former NFL players can’t do a forward roll.” Let the record show WWE passed on Jeff Cobb for No Way Jose. And now they're only looking for non-wrestler athletes. This is the eye for talent they have.

“Indie Workers” is just WWE-speak for “short” so that list makes 100% sense

Corbin should beat Roman, which is why he won't tbh I expect E to cash in on Lashley at Extreme Rules after he beats (who is Lashley building to now? Lmao) and then he'll move to Raw and lose to Corbin actually, you know what? If they do move E and Corbin to Raw, and TND isn't immediately moved to Smackdown in response, I expect E to join back up with Xavier and Kofi, to which they should just call up Grimes and Knight as Corbin's lackeys (because NXT doesn't matter) and call themselves uhhh The Martingales e: why am I fantasy booking this sodding company when I know they will do nothing like this Venomous fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Aug 28, 2021 |

But it's WWE, so on the other hand there are a thousand ways they can gently caress it up.

WWE's high standards for athletes remind me of seeing those choosing beggar posts on FB Marketplace. Looking for the next John Cena or Batista when they almost fired Cena for not being over and didn't respect Batista when he was on the verge of becoming another huge Hollywood star so only gave him a feud with Triple H. Had The Rock come back to put over his cousin who got booed out of the arena that night. But it's Jeff Cobb's fault for being on the indies a couple years and not being 6'4 I guess

WWE had a gigantic muscleman who was entirely a product of their developmental system in Braun and they fired him because they have a guy slightly taller on their roster now edit: thought this was interesting https://twitter.com/notKHRIS/status/1431417278717956097 Seams fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Aug 28, 2021 |

Dango Bango posted:Breaking up the New Day was always a test / calling their "we'll quit if you break us up" bluff. I mean, it was an incredibly good decision of them not to do a Big E heel turn, or to end The New Day as a whole, because it opened up the possibility of a reunion in kayfabe, so if Xavier and Kofi had retired, they'd be seen as the aggressors in the situation. 'We haven't broken you up! You're still together, you're just on different shows!' Scummy company tbh.

They stopped doing that cause it was a crutch that allowed them to book the same match every week for 4 months so now they just do that without the automatic title rematch instead

Thank God they keep 40 writers or whatever on the payroll for these complex story twists and turns.
