I need to go back to reading that thread, god it was so funny how much it escalated with every improbable event happening to let the Steelers win.

Is that the one where somebody on the Bengals took an insane unnecessary personal foul out of nowhere late in the 4th.

That doesn't mean that her leaving without dropping the title wouldn't bury them even further. This is the same bullshit circular logic people have with Brock.

What if you just think Asuka is more important than the entire rest of the NXT Women's Division combined? :shrug:

That wasn't a great promo but Ember did okay in that segment, I think. There's a bit of the intensity she's been needing to show.

Its a shame that apparently a bunch of people in the live crowd hated this match because it was too "MMA"

Sure sounds like they're digging it to me.

Also w/r/t expansion in china: does WWE not realize that having a billion people doesn't matter much if only 1/4 of those people live in places that have, like, internet and money?

If you take the Jinder push as evidence, they clearly don't.

Rovert was right about this, Pro Wrestling Sheet today confirmed Ciampa had shoulder surgery recently and was spotted in a sling over the weekend

So his shoulder and his knee was hosed before that Takeover? Jesus.

How many Takeovers in a row have people been doubting the Takeover card on paper and then the Takeover just goes and slaughters the main roster PPV the next day anyway.

They might be getting the band that does his song to play live at the arena for him.

I'm conflicted on that because NXT doesn't have a bigger event than Takeover Brooklyn, but man shouldn't you save that for when he goes for the title?

So if Cole, Fish, and O'Reilly are planning to take over NXT (assumed by accumulating titles), will they add a woman to their group to go after the women's title?

All the women they auditioned got as far as "So, you'd have to wrestle Nikki Cross and Asuka," before they immediately walked out.

So now the new big storyline is Cole, Fish and O'Reilly taking over NXT. Remember when NXT use to be a developmental territory instead of always relying on outsiders? So tell me who has the performance center produced since ooneing up over 4 years ago?

As long as talented people are getting opportunities, who the gently caress cares where they learned how to wrestle.

Put two generic branding type words together that have little to no relationship to each other and you might get close.

I gotta say, 100% of these releases having a very tangible connection to some kind of injury is an extremely bad look for WWE.
