or dont whatever








I can't really put my finger on why but I really don't like TJP. Either because he went over people I liked way more or beating them because they conveniently hurt themselves/were hurt by someone else in the perfect way for his finisher. I too was pretty deflated with him winning, like I get it but Metalik would have been a much better pick I think of, "people who actually signed."

If they actually signed yea I'm sure that final would have been ZSJ and Ibushi undoubtedly. I wonder if this (you win if you sign) will at all effect the participants in the next CWC? Maybe if the winner doesn't double as the Cruiserweight champ it'll be different but it still seems like you gotta sign to win (which I get).

Well the wrong guy one, but the CWC is cool

ZSJ is one of my favorite wrestlers but he really needs to wear long pants

yeah, he might be a piece of poo poo and no one is going to care. wrestling is full of babyfaces who were huge pieces of poo poo outside the ring, we have this discussion about someone else at least every other loving week on this forum
TJP's out-of-ring stuff doesn't matter, his in-ring face acting just makes Roman Reigns look like Sami Zayn

Yea, he has terrible expressions / no charisma and absolutely does not sell anything, even for a cruiserweight

Also he has an uncool look and the Miz's hair from when he was playing his 'douche' character

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I can't think of anything after the first round that wasn't at least above-average, and a bunch of it was spectacular. Just an awesome tournament all the way around.

I don't know how many of these guys are going to the Raw CW division, but I'd like to see Cedric Alexander and maybe a couple others go to SD. There's already a fun story with THE Brian Kendrick on SD if they want it.

What's funny about this is when they shook hands, Perkins stuck out his left hand, and I thought it was his way to remind Metalik which side he was suppose to work.

I wonder if they'll bring outside talent in for that next time? The original Dusty Classic was just 8 teams, it was pretty small-scale compared to this.

If the Bucks are really going to WWE (I'm not convinced, they've done this song and dance like 3 times now) putting them in an expanded Dusty Classic would certainly be a way to create a lot of buzz.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I can't believe the guy who tweets with me about basketball has become the CWC champ.

I said during the tournament that tjp felt like the type of guy the wwe would push. He'll make a great heel one day. Shame about the whole division being on raw.

TJ Perkins is cool and I like him, so good for him. He's also not the best wrestler in the tournament and someone else should have won, but I understand why they did what they did.

Hot take: I legitimately think they'll do the cruiserweight division right this time.

it'll be fine as long as they can keep Vince distracted with keys or a ball of foil when they're on the air

as soon as he sees HHH hired a bunch of flippy midget twerps behind his back, Braun defeats the entire division in a handicap match

oatgan posted:

I wasn't paying that much attention to his promo to close the show so i know he mentioned being homeless but did he mention the reason he was homeless is because he spent all his money moving to florida to try and work for FCW

I believe the phrasing they used was "homeless in pursuit of his dream"

I wonder what they'll do with guys who are clearly cruiserweights but already booked as heavyweight competitors like Sami Zayn and Neville?

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

That strike exchange where you see the welts form in real time as Metalik gets annoyed at TJP not selling any of his strikes so progressively starts hitting him harder and harder is just sick.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
According to Big Dave, Metalik was very unlikely to win, not only because of the language barrier, he still has dates in Mexico, so he won't be available on a consistent basis for Raw right away, even though he is signed.

I would've loved to see Ibushi vs. ZSJ but it was still really good and fun. TJP getting beat on by Metalik because he wouldn't sell and also Miz'd him on the dive was hilarious.
