'How quickly'? Joe was in NXT for like a year and a half.

To be fair, "Developmental" to "Fighting Brock loving Lesnar" in about two years is a pretty quick turnaround. I think even Roman took a little longer than that.

You can safely bet on AoP/Heavy Machinery in some fashion and probably McIntyre vs. Roode. Probably a Bate vs. Dunne rematch? Unless they decide to do that on their UK show instead.

But yeah for the rest of it, you'd just be buying it hoping that guys like Aleister, Andrade and Gargano all have something good to do.

Raw and NXT are kinda on opposite ends of that spectrum. NXT had a bad habit of wasting all sorts of time between Takeovers while Raw constantly gives away matches for free because they have three hours to fill.

Smackdown Live hit a very good balance. When AJ was feuding with Dean, Ellsworth or Cena, it felt like it was must see every week because something really cool could happen at any time while still making you excited for the PPV.

It's Strong/Roode, unless there's another Takeover before Brooklyn.

They could do Strong/Roode on TV like Ohno/Roode. :shrug:

I will give them credit for one thing in their jackassed Jinder Mahal push, Jinder taking advantage of the chaos of a 6-man tag to pin Randy was effective storytelling.

They've put a lot into Strong to just do it on TV..

That is true. And I guess Drew is mostly still just in Kill Jobbers mode.

I guess they could do Roode/Strong/Drew.

So where does Ohno / Itami go from here? I wasn't entirely clear on the story they were telling with the match setup. Is it that Itami will go after Ohno for being condescending when he couldn't pull out wins himself, or is Ohno also going frustrated heel, or what

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rllfBXjaIw

I can't tell if Itami is trying to be condescending here or not.

Honestly, I think the two feel pretty genuine when talking to each other, I'd almost guess a team up rather than a feud is coming?

lmao remember that time it was like "Nikki Bella hasn't fully recovered from her neck injury, an entire side of her body is numb." then she took a loving superplex from Natalya.

Basically I'm proud of these girls for being as jack-gently caress insane as the guys with their bodies.

all of that may be true but he wont help me with the legal situation Which came about after i kept calling bradshaw and threatening his family. my public defender said using my phone and having a recording of the call in a state where you dont need permission means it doesnt matter if i used a fake name. however i Kept on saying the fake name and "that is who i really am bradshaw" 8 or 9 times so what gives.

Didn't you tell him it was a work yet?

Chris James 2 posted:

This month alone he's signed deals allowing him to get paid megabucks to commentate the biggest boxing match/fiasco in modern history, get paid mediumbucks to commentate clownshoes MMA for Bellator, and get paid smallbucks at the company he was already signed to (for the part of the company he actually always wanted to be involved in) [and now specifically isn't around the people who were bullying and enabling bullying of him]

He's done a drat good job of showing WWE they needed him more than he needed them, and a lot of people would have handled the situation he was in (and its immediate aftermath) a lot worse than he did.

It's worth pointing out, this is a new contract. So he's getting paid twice by WWE, basically.

There is the excuse "Oh it was the last match of that taping", but gently caress that I've seen crowds stay hot throughout a 5 hour taping.

They die a lot at the end of the tapings lately and it really bothers me. Same thing happened last week with Aleister vs. Ohno which was ANOTHER awesome match!

Is it just me or did Nikki kill her finish utterly in that match? She hit like 100 of them and got a near fall...

Count of 9 is three pinfalls. :colbert:

I think they lost the plot with Ember when they tried making her a generic "nice" babyface.

Think about what happened to her. She had Asuka beat at Orlando, before Asuka blatantly cheated to keep the title. She had control in a No. 1 contender battle royale, before Asuka ran in and injured her, taking her out of a title shot. Shouldn't Ember be pissed the gently caress off, vowing to destroy Asuka for screwing her multiple times? Give me some righteous babyface fire swearing revenge for all the wrongs.

Instead of ... any of that, we got like 2 months of Ember putting on her best Bayley face and being all sad about not "being able to compete," with limp half-assed declarations of "I'll be back soon." It completely took the heat out of that story and made Ember look like a goof.

Wow, you're absolutely right.

I was having a hard time putting my finger on it, but that's totally it. They didn't meaningfully follow up on that stuff at all.

Johnny Landmine posted:

Or at least a partial Triple Tails reunion, assuming Asuka hasn't been moved up before Io gets to NXT.

Given Io's neck injury, I'd say it's extremely likely that they miss each other entirely at this point, unfortunately. If she sticks around for a while, she might be able to have a match with Kairi, though.

There's no way Prince's estate was going to sign off on 'Purple Rainmaker', so they went with its non-union Mexican equivalent.

I half-expected him to just be entirely done, so, yeah, I agree.

# ¿ Jul 3, 2017 23:40

MJeff: Jun 2, 2011; THE LIAR

That was a good match. Roode is no Asuka, but he's pretty good.

It's kind of a bummer how one of the only guys with a DDT as a finisher in the company always needs to hit it like three times to win the match. :v:

Roddy is mega over with Shawn Michaels essentially his new protege and with Triple H too. He isn't going on the backburner.

Drew got attacked by Sanity so he's out of the current title picture:

Move it to Pittsburgh, that's where they do medicals anyway plus Stage AE is a nice venue and I can park for free at the Casino coming from work and get a nice walk in.

At least do a touring show there again, really they seemed to have lapsed on the whole live tour thing.

Every time I've seen WWE go to Pittsburgh in recent memory the crowds have been baaaaad.
