Standards are/were so low that people were amazed the Sin Cara dressed in black didn't result in attempted 'hilarity' from announcers.

He has a cult thing called Schism going on and they all wear happy masks. It's like a really hosed up self-help group. It's kinda cool and his theme is great.

About a year ago I arrived home early from work, and decided to dip my toes into this 'WWE" thing, turning on NXT, thinking it's maybe a modern day ECW equivalent or something. Last time I had known the product, it was called WWF and the dark ministry/corporation stuff is when I dropped off.

The second segment on my screen was said cult, and I was second-hand embarrassed for everyone involved including myself.

Their look came across to me as charlotte neo-nazi types, and i justified not immediately flipping the channel by telling myself "well maybe this angle could work if they get the poo poo stomped out of them every match"



I did not continue to watch NXT after this, although i enjoyed solo sequoia and the energetic chase U lady.
I also thought "Chase U' was a clever wrestling gimmick, but mortified that people own screen-printed shirts that say that and probably wear them in public

a few months later I encountered "gurther", for whom the thread is titled and is praised in these pages. the whole gimmick is suspect as gently caress, visually it doesn't pass the test, and just barely passes the language test.. He talks about the purity of the squared circle... but constantly cheats. as a viewer, what should take away from this?

the whole thing reeks

not only does LA Knight seem incredibly over, he has also completely replaced WHAT chants or the possibility of them during his promos entirely and just has people chanting YEAH for him instead. maybe they should put the us title on the guy people are really into

I don't think he CAN fizzle out.

Dude came out of the Uncle Howdy Mountain Dew match more over than ever before. That's impressive.

I think they also exiled that one tag team to the Forbidden Zone or something. Or maybe they murdered them. It was a "Loser leaves NXT" match so maybe they just had to walk down the road sadly while "The Lonely Man" plays

Seems weird to put Mankind in a stable, weirder still to have Big Show, Shamrock and Test (not Val) join him.

The fact that their only PPV was Over The Edge (THAT one) and disbanded after a few weeks & the only sign they existed was the theme which was in WM2000 (the game, not the event)

By the way, the entire 1st season of Heels is on Starz's YouTube page if anyone is interested.

Last I heard his neck wasn’t ossifying enough that a return to wrestling was unlikely.

last update i saw is he feels great in everyday life with no lingering issues. they're just kind of in limbo to see if his neck fully heals enough so he can be dropped on it again
