Thanks for reminding me of the zombie match where Miz got injured and they somehow didn't explain it as having been from getting bitten.

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

Endless Mike posted:

I think my favorite thing about the WWE draft every year is they consistently don't understand how drafts work. Why yes, let's leave three of our champions until the second night so we can draft Austin Theory and Jeff Hardy.

They split the draft pool into two so both RAW and SD had some intrigue and there weren’t only Hardy level talents to be picked from on Monday. Not the most elegant way to do things but it stops USA getting mad at them

NXT 2.0

MSK team up with Briggs & Jensen against Grizzled Young Veterans, Hayes & Williams

The NXT Tag Team Titles have been front and center on NXT 2.0, as tandems new and veteran have set their sights on MSK.

MSK will team with Brooks Jensen & Josh Briggs against The Grizzled Young Veterans, Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams in Eight-Man Tag Team action. The four teams brawled last week after GYV and Hayes & Williams stated their cases for a title opportunity.

Which team will be left standing when the mayhem is settled?


quote:

Mandy Rose battles Ember Moon to kick off NXT tonight
Mandy Rose made a bold statement last week and now will look to back it up in a showdown with the always dangerous Ember Moon.

Rose was flanked by Toxic Attraction, as they delivered a vicious beatdown of NXT Women’s Champion Raquel Gonzalez. As Big Mami Cool was laid out in the ring, Rose put the champion on notice by raising the title above her head. Moon will be looking to get back in a groove and follow up a 205 Live victory over Cora Jade a few weeks back.

Can Rose build her title case with a victory over Moon?

quote:

Odyssey Jones and LA Knight collide on NXT
LA Knight isn’t afraid to talk his way into big-time matchups on NXT, but it’s tough to find a more massive challenge than Odyssey Jones.

The bombastic Superstar had some choice words for the giant newcomer backstage and used an Andre Chase outburst to launch an attack on Jones.

Can Knight topple the impressive Jones?

quote:

Cora Jade set for NXT 2.0 debut
NXT’s youngest Superstar will take centerstage this Tuesday, as 20-year old Cora Jade makes her NXT in-ring debut.

Jade has already turned heads in her backstage romance with Trey Baxter. Can Jade now catch the attention of the NXT Universe in her debut?

Don’t miss the dawn of the “Generation of Jade”

She was horribly misused on the main roster and then ruptured her achilles during a 24/7 angle.

She got sent back to NXT where she tagged with Shotzi Blackheart and won/lost the women’s tags.


Then they called up Shotzi as a tag team with Tegan Nox instead for some reason, had them beat the champs Natalya and Tamina 3 times in a row in non title matches, then a split them up in the draft without getting a title shot.

They didn't have Asuka put her over in NXT > they were between having good rosters while she was champion > they had no intention of doing anything with her on the main roster > she got hurt doing a goofy dumbass segment > they shipped her back to developmental to do something or other. I think she was tag champ with Shotzi Blackheart? I might be making that up. Who cares.

The Miz is a perfectly fine midcard heel, just like Orton is a good upper-mid card guy.

Neither should be pushed more than that and neither should have been on tv every week for 15 years.

To paraphrase Trevor Dunn talking about the Red Hot Chili Peppers: The Miz, in all seriousness, really isn't that good. I mean c'mon, he was vaguely interesting in late 2016, but Christ, he loving sucks. He sucks.

I dunno, the point was just Wolfmother was tragically derivative and that's not an accusation you can throw at Primus. They put more of themselves into endless Rush tributes than Wolfmother have ever put into their own song writing.
