spongeh posted:honestly given how hot the match was, and how good the match was, they're leaving money on the table by not finishing the storyline with the rematch. compared to shinsuke which just felt like bullshit Given how over Almas is, even as a heel, if they want to leave him in NXT for a bit to finish up with a rematch or some sort of 'Vega finds someone else because Almas is a loser even with her help, and Almas proves he can regain the title without her' storyline, there's a ton of money still to be made with him.

It makes more sense to me now that i've read a more in-depth spoiler: Ref bump, Ciampa grabs the crutch and the belt, Gargano runs down and in taking the belt away from Ciampa, accidentally knocks out Black, Ciampa takes out Gargano and covers Black as the ref recovers. And yeah, i'm a big fan of his from back in the Tommy End days, but his title run didn't do a lot for me. His character works best as the guy who aggressively meditates at you and doesn't say a lot other than the occasional 'ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THIS?!?'

Astro7x posted:He's barely wrestled since winning the title, two defenses against Young and Lars... I mean, if I am reading this right, the only other match he's had was on the UK show. 3 matches as champion, 2 defenses, and a bunch of talking? Yeah, that's not how you book that guy Also, using the...pop-tart entrance every time is stupid. For comparison, THIS is the entrance that gets across what Black's character is all about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtKpoOdU14c

oldskool posted:Taking the NXT champion off the card is a non-starter. The other issue is that every episode of NXT between now and TakeOver is in the can; if you just wipe out the triple threat you have to edit/delete every segment in those shows that references it. Yeah, the best/most straightforward way to do it is start Takeover and do a 'Ciampa takes out Black backstage' at the beginning, takes out Gargano as well at some point, and then do the 'welp, looks like I have no opponent, it doesn't matter, you people didn't deserve to see me anyway..' thing, and then whomever it is comes out and we have a match.

Basic Chunnel posted:They need someone who can get good face heat against Ciampa immediately. It’s too bad Ricochet’s likely out and Dream is probably too green to improvise at that level. Dunne could do it. An obvious ringer like McIntyre or Breeze will need time to warm up the crowd. I actually think McIntyre isn't a terrible choice, he seemed fairly well received by the NXT crowds, and you can just 'he never got his title remach, and since he's in town..' with him.

I think this just shows the value of a wrestling promotion having an 'I just want to fight' character. NXT Kevin Owens, Braun, etc. , a guy that you can slot in to a match at the last moment, and the fans buy it.

extradite THIS! posted:Apparently the bald guy shown in the Nightmare Collective videos on Dynamite could very possibly be Canadian wrestler Dr. Luther. Personally know nothing about him. If it's THAT Dr. Luther, then he's a friend of Jericho's from way back. Jericho talks about him performing in NJPW when Jericho/Storm were there in his first book. I think, I could be wrong, that they all went to the same wrestling school around the same time.

karmicknight posted:Yeah the match ends with Kingston's Family and Death Triangle fighting each other to a tainted victory for the heels, only for the monster Eddie Kingston pissed off during his single minded pursuit of the belt to finally remind people that Godzilla is in this movie. Like Death Triangle has no real quarrel with Lance, so it kind of makes sense that a surprise Murderhawk Monster would clear the ring so that Lance can stand tall over Eddie Kingston. Yeah, it follows up on Eddie's "I see you, Lance" from a few weeks ago.

Gaz-L posted:I promise you he'd have put more effort in had he been booked to go over. That might be sorta right. Not so much about the "booked to go over" part, but in Nak's book he makes it VERY clear that he's only going to invest the time and energy into a company that they're going to invest in him. No more, no less.

Evil Badman posted:https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1415785198357254145?s=09 Ahahahaha...remember the year that Brock showed up, and despite not being in the match just sorta went "lol, I win!!!" and everyone went along with it because reasons? Never underestimate the ability of the WWE to force Becky into the mix/make her the winner. It makes no sense? That's sorta what they do.

Buddy is balls deep in the Malakai Black-verse, he's been working on doing something with Buddy for months and was featured in that weird movie thing Black did before he debuted.

Pylons posted:*Tony Schiavone interviewed ROH Champion Claudio Castagnoli, who came out with Wheeler Yuta. Claudio said his championship represents Honor and the logo of the Blackpool Combat Club is the new symbol of excellence. They are a team and a family who make each other better. They win and they lose, together. Last week, unfortunately, Wheeler Yuta lost the ROH Pure title but he will get back up and win it again. Last week, Claudio had one of the hardest matches and hardest opponent he's ever faced in Dax Harwood. Next week, it will be a great week for the BBC because Moxley and Danielson are in the finals for the AEW title. Iron sharpens irons. Next week, there will be another World Champion in the BBC and will have two world champions in their ranks. Chris Jericho got up from commentary. He said the JAS is the symbol of excellence. Jericho ran down his accolades but said the one place he's never been World Champion was Ring of Honor. Seven World titles isn't enough for him, he wants "ocho." He challenged Claudio for a title match "this Wednesday" at Grand Slam. Claudio said he was hoping this would happen and has been waiting for this moment for a long time. He said Jericho was one. Lol. BCC. Blackpool Combat Club. Not...that.
