Im in two minds about this because lol wwe main roster but also the point if sending all their talent to NXT was "tell em how to find the hard camera" for years. The NXT ecosystem formed because they refused to let people already be on the main roster when they were ready. When they broke this rule and broight in AJ Styles the backfire was... they got one of their best and most credible main eventers for the last decade. That prospects arent going to be there in perpetuity is a good thing, how they gently caress it up will be even better.

It’s not a problem that they’re going to the main roster, I’m laughing that he thinks it’ll still be a decade before they’re ready to main event. Like, wasn’t Stone Cold’s entire WWE run only like 6 years?

Bron should be on the main roster and getting a big push. He should also have a different last name.

It was but like Austin was a world class talent before he even got to WWE. If you've never seen it check out his ECW run which was his proto-Stone Cold.

His entire hall of fame career was six years from the moment he debuted. Literally no one else has done that to my knowledge. Mistico took eight years, Okada took seven years... and not as in to finish their hall careers, thats when they reached the start. Mistico debuted before Angle did and when he was THE guy in CMLL Angle was already in the Hall of Fame.

Astro7x posted:I thought WWE Evil was going to be like... a kayfabe documentary on the back story of characters like Kane, Undertaker, Fiend, etc. Instead it just looks like a boring show about what it's like to be a heel. I mean having heard some of his stories, I'd absolutely watch Ted DiBiase and his generation talk about what it was like to be top heels in the kayfabe days.

Dacap posted:“WWE’s two biggest prospects are going to the main roster, hopefully they’ll be main event ready in a decade”. No, see, it will take at least a decade for them to finally run out of legacy talents willing to do/capable of a main event program ("Well, looks The Rock/Reigns is off the table again...maybe in 2033. Breakker, Stevenson, I guess it's up to you two.")

Golden Bee posted:I mean Olympic wrestler to regular wrestler is a big * True the Olympics to wrestling pipeline greatly exceeds bit Kurt does still standout. Other Olympian pro wrestler legends are Jumbo Tsuruta, Riki Choshu, Karl Gotch and Danny Hodge. Danny Hodge especially deserves so much more praise, he was so ahead of his time and its like if Brock Lesnar was a junior heavyweight. Everyone should read Meltzer's obituary to Danny Hodge. It is astounding.

Golden Bee posted:I mean Olympic wrestler to regular wrestler is a big * ehhh. I don't think it matters all that much although previous experience in grapple sports probably helps, it's probably not a good indicator of how well or fast someone takes to wrasslemans. There are plenty of high level fightmans that entered wrestling and didn't take to it immediately or their career fizzled out. Dan Severn, Ronda Rousey, and Tay Conti being decent examples, plus what ever rando jobbers in the PC that WWE is currently training who have prior MMA experience.

Kurt succeeded because he brought much more to the table than just being a generic amateur wrestler workrate guy. He could’ve easily been about as successful as Dan Severn was in WWE.

Yeah he hit the ground running with tremendous momentum, and part of that was that he grasped his heel persona perfectly and was really really good at riling up the crowd. He was extremely charismatic and his facial expressions were hilarious. I stopped watching wrestling in the early 2000s, what actually predicated his fall from grace?

Mistico debuted before Angle did and when he was THE guy in CMLL Angle was already in the Hall of Fame. The closest comparison to guys who wrestling early is probably Akiyama and Sugiura but because All Japan/NOAH didn't need main event talent right away (And WWE did) they didn't get the big push that Angle got at the start which is what sets him apart. Just the perfect timing of a guy who got it all early and promotion that needed main event talent on top at any cost

Other stuff from Dave: Austin agreed to do Mania and a fight sequence with Owens, but turned down a full match Creative's plan is Cody/Seth for Mania if the signing's official; talks ongoing Vince still expected involved in the Pat McAfee match, he had second thoughts about advertising himself for a match, not about getting in the ring for one
