You know what I'm going to take a break from WWE. Not in some oh my god it's so bad sense, just a I should take a six month break and I'll enjoy it more when I come back sense.

Honestly 6 months is perfect. Mania's at the very least going to be another long pointless affair (potentially another one that drives fans mad) and that'll be within your break

We'll still be here when you return, for better or for worse. Hopefully you'll find something worth the wait when you do. Good luck with everything <3

re: dream: tbh, it's not that uncommon for upper card talent to miss a single taping due to random life events, wouldn't worry too much about it. hopefully we see a new feud for him soon though

I'm guessing he might get pushed to the undercard taping on the next TakeOver, just because of how much they gotta cram into a two (and a half) hour show.

I canceled my Network subscription after Survivor Series and I probably won't be back until the Rumble. WWE has just gotten so stale and boring even for their standards. It just gets so hard to watch people you like have the same boring match every week and hear people talk like they have had a stroke.

I have NJPW World which gives me New Japan, CMLL and the big RoH shows. I'll probably sign up for the RoH service next year too. That will be more than enough good wrestling for me.

There are also the taped segments that the live crowd won’t see. Dream could be showing up on those. I hope to god he’s not getting called up.

If they do actually have Dream show run wild on TUE it might actually be the best thing NXT has ever done. And honestly, having TUE go up against them would really do wonders for that group’s heel heat.

I guess they're taping in Atlanta for a while now so maybe they're setting up a tag title match announcement for takeover at those tapings?

I was going to cancel mine as well but they offered me one free month so I'll keep it till then and cancel again.

I got six months free. I didn't calculate it but I think the idea was the first paid month would include Wrestlemania. Seems to pad the paid subs number for Wrestlemania since it's some sort of key metric.

So Velveteen Dream was taken out of this and Gargano was subbed in:

So either they just wildly changed everything with a Twitter post, or they posted the wrong video.

(If Gargano/Ohno is changed to Dream/Ohno, Gargano won the fatal 4 way so that has to change now too.)

Given that the video wasn’t re-taped we can only conclude that Dream being taken out is part of a storyline. I mean we can conclude that WWE is run by insane people, but still

If he ends up jumped by TUE in a segment, then it’s time to freak out

I have heard the rumour that Gargano will ultimately end up in the Royal Rumble.

Dunno how things go from A to B to C. And who is fully in the loop on the plans so things got confusing for me to figure out when asking around.

Also there are people who have told me Gargano will still be in the Takeover title match.

Supposedly there's a lot of grumbling about all that if it is the case.

But it is Pro Wrestling everyone ends up getting heat or resented when they get the pushed.

Johnny is a likable babyface, and the main roster is where likable babyfaces go to die (see: Bayley, Sami Zayn, even Enzo at one point), so I'm just gonna enjoy this little run while it lasts before he goes up and gets Always Bad'ed into oblivion.

if Gargano shows up in the Rumble it better not actually be a call up, because what a fuckin waste of the Ciampa/Gargano feud if Ciampa finally returns at Philly & there's no follow up. If anyone should be in the Rumble it should be Roderick just because it's okay if he gets called up & eliminated imo. Ohno too, but that'll never happen. Philly would probably pop harder for Ohno getting into the ring and having a stare down with Cesaro before Sheamus eliminates him than Gargano getting tossed by Dolph Ziggler.

Roddy is in the doghouse apparently no idea why. Hence being fed to Lars at the tapings.

Have Dijack do the Rumble you'll either get silence or people thinking Ken Doane is back.

That's kind of nuts, specially because they were high on Roddy a couple months ago just like they apparently are for Gargano. Roddy probably had an ego about his position. That or had too good a night at Applebees again.

My guess is knee the gently caress outta someone. I remember thinking Ciampa used to suck, but has he ever fought Alistair Black pre-WWE? I imagine that could be a lot of fun.
