I was going to say that WWE finally got around to putting the tag belts on the Wyatts like two years too late, but then I remembered that the loving championships aren't even on the line!

Having Lashley win all the belts seems especially pointless when they just vacated the X Division title and had someone else win it immediately and then replaced the other one.

Also, for people keeping count, that's 3 title changes so far

i hope an actual tag-team win this dusty classic.

Everyone left is a tag team (Revival, Authors of Pain, TM61, Sanity), so good news!

Since they're the only face team left, seems clear that TM61 is winning and getting a shot at the Revival as a result. Unless the Revival get eliminated in the semis after Ciampa and Gargano get involved and then DIY wins the rematch at Takeover, then I guess one of the other two heel teams could win.

Was it really 16 teams last year? I thought it was 8, I didn't remember there even being enough people in NXT back then to fill out a bracket that large.

rovert posted:

Was told Roderick Strong and someone else is in the Dusty.

I believe that someone is Austin Aries.

That would make sense, they teamed for years back in ROH. That would also mean that Roddy's coming into NXT as a heel, which is good news.

Hero claims the weight gain was from a back injury coupled with a thyroid problem, but he's also said he's not overly concerned about how he looks as long as he feels well and can still operate at the level he wants to in the ring.

If he's trying to catch back on with WWE it's not obvious, he looked about the same shape as usual at BOLA and that was after those rumors had already started.

This is not the point. The point is that Kingston looks to have the made the decision to work for TNA instead of WWE.

You're assuming that he got offered a WWE contract just because he got a tryout, when most of the time that is not the case. The decision between WWE and TNA was probably not up to him, and if WWE was considering making him an offer a couple taped TNA matches probably won't dissuade them.

This was a logical way to debut Roddy but I hope he ditches that geek Aries and gets to go solo before too long. He should break Nakamura's lovely old man back.

e: Sure seems like they're building to DIY winning the tournament with the Revival faking injury to get out of wrestling them.

Since the stakes were announced it was always assumed IC would go to Raw and the Cruiserweight division would go to SD

See, I'm assuming that's not happening because the cruisers are getting a separate show, but maybe now that people care about the IC belt again Vince decided that Raw should have it.

Wasn't there some article somewhere in the recent past that explained in detail how now that they have a stable base of Network subscribers that is roughly equivalent to the revenue they used to get from traditional PPV buys, the WWE's business model is effectively infinitely sustainable regardless of short-term trends in things like ratings or house show attendance? Unless they have to do something crazy like pay for their employee's health insurance, of course.

Ryback seems like he would just rather hock his bullshit supplements rather than do the extra legwork of trying to make a career out of wrestling outside of WWE

Which like, fine, the modern culture of wrestlers being a bunch of dorks who grew up loving 'the business' and just desperately want to be a part of it results in a lot of them severely undervaluing themselves, so if he doesn't care enough to keep wrecking his body unless somebody pays him a whole lot of money to do so that's certainly a valid perspective

Also it means that we as a society are subjected to fewer Ryback matches, which I wholeheartedly support
