It's how her species communicates

Jade could lose her first match with like every female on the roster coming out to give her a chair shot or hit her with the ring bell or whatever and she just keeps getting up until Asuka finally mists her and Charlotte pins her. Just a monster in defeat.

Actually lol I don't care WWE sucks and fantasy booking it just makes me sad.

Which would be better: Nia concussing her in her first match, or her knees blowing up in the performance center?

That sounds cool, they should do more fun stuff like that. I didn't start watching NXT until Bobby Roode was feuding with Roddy Strong.

Owens immediately turning heel after Sami had finally won the NXT title kicked rear end. You can easily point out the many ways NXT was a PPV-only product outside of some weekly highlights and how even those PPVs often had nothing matches, and the entire thing was WWE doing an extremely watered-down version of ROH...but the good poo poo was really drat good still.

Do you know how many main event matches and/or matches against main eventers Nia has had? Just being in the same ring with her will give Jade a huge rub. And now imagine them having a long, competitive match.

Instant.

Mildly interesting trivia:

Today is GUNTHER's 500th day as IC champ, making him the third person to have two different 500 day reigns with a WWE belt:

1. Bruno Sammartino (WWF/WWF)
2. Roman Reigns (WWE/Universal)
3. GUNTHER (NXT North American/IC)

Hooray for the large baby imo

It's very surprising that WWE has booked Gunther as strongly as they have.

I mean, it shouldn't be, it's a pure no-brainer, but then so should dozens of others over the years.

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.

one of these things is not like the others

non-sarcastically GUNTHER/WALTER is verging or possibly already at a Hall of Fame career due to the combination of push and being one of the best workers ever no matter where on the card

He's been in the company 1745 days and has been a dominant champion for 1340 of them. Wow fans!

E: Also, the 500/500 club is of course drastically underselling some of these reigns. Adding length to the list:

Bruno: WWF (2,803 days)/WWF (1,237 days)
Roman: Universal (1,149+ days)/WWE (568+ days)
GUNTHER: NXT NA (870 days)/IC (500+ days)

Like Roman's been champ forever, like it's almost silly. More than double both his reigns for Bruno

We will know Vince is gone for good when GUNTHER retires from wrestling or dies without ever having been in a love angle with, like, Dewdrop.

the very few times i watch WWE (wrestlemania the night c*dy was booked to job, royal rumble) Gunther has been an absolute highlight. For all the bad in the many levels of bad WWE has going, it's great that there's a shining beacon of good booking and talent in that large violence baby. I hope he one day gets to bout with Minoru Suzuki for a New Year's themed match.

Chops suck so much, even if you present the chest. Not recommended. Though there was a fan at our local Indy who would get the hell chopped out of him at the end of every show, just get the entire locker room to chop him. It was crazy.

You know, this would be an ideal compromise when it comes to removing racist imagery and misappropriation of cultural history.

Bottom of the 9th;

Runners on the corners, two outs;

Tens of thousands of Atlanta baseball fans rise to their feet;

And promptly chop the poo poo out of the partisan sitting next to them.

Chops aren’t bad if someone can do them well. I’ve mentioned before that my friend and I would gently caress with people at the bar by getting them to agree to get chopped if I took one first. I’d sell it like death to get the person nervous before they find out it’s pretty much all noise.

Haha, not always. I knocked the wind out of a friend of mine in college with a real benoit-style chop that left outlines of my fingers on his chest for like an hour

It CAN be pretty much all noise
