It's a bit out there to put Rhea ahead of Paige, Sasha, and Asuka's run on NXT

Yeah, I talked about how bad the Rhea/Asuka match was from last night, but only just now found a small video clip of how bad it got at parts.

Rhea was struggling so goddamn hard to pick her up to the point where Asuka had to step in and help. Just for what seemed to be the crucifix bomb/pin(?) to end up turning into a botch as well.

This all seems very... avoidable. It looks equally as cool just to spin Asuka around and get a regular fireman's carry entry.

The worst part is you know no one is going to get over beating Roman down the line. It's going to be some unsatisfying result to try and keep Roman strong and end up making everyone mad all over again.

This Aleister Black stuff is awful. Just let the dude wrestle and not talk. He's got enough natural charisma and mystique to get himself over without the videos. Oh wait, it's WWE, they can't play to anybody's strengths at all.

They're gonna have Black do this awful gimmick for like three months at least until Vince is personally bored of it, then Black will disappear for months and come back as... some kind of dancing mime.

I still love the fact that they can’t figure out what to do with Wyatt when he’s the guy that finally took out John Cena after fifteen years. Taker, Brock, Rock, HBK, Edge, Orton, Punk, Jericho, Styles, Angle, HHH, Owens, Bryan, Rollins, Reigns, Batista, Rusev, Show, Kane, Booker, Christian, JBL, Miz, Sheamus, Barrett, Ryback, Ziggler, Umaga, Del Rio, etc, etc couldn’t do it, but Wyatt did. And yet it’s never even mentioned.

This kind of reminds me of when Del Rio came back and surprise beat Cena with a super kick and they never mentioned it since they wanted fans to forget Cena ever lost for when he made the eventual return.

Can't wait for the eventual promo about how Bray Wyatt is a nerd who can only win on the Muppet Show and then Cena calls him his real name in a condescending way.

The negative reaction to her return proves that Eva Marie is actually the best heel in wrestling.

I will say some of the best heel heat I can recall in NXT was the time the crowd was convinced Eva was about to beat... Bayley I think for the belt? The crowd was so loving pissed for the whole match and then Eva lost to a huge pop.

But of course that's a testament to how poo poo she was and she should have never wrestled again after. If you can call what she does wrestling.

Nobody is going to beat Roman, Brock is going to come back and Paul will turn on him, making him a face, and then he'll finally beat Brock after all these years.

Also did Zombies really eat Miz? Lol.

If people think this isn't all in service to never beat Roman for real and turn him face without ever losing they're insane.

It only sticks out to me because AEW has been big on it. You can tell who's going places because they just win like 90% of their matches. Most people I talk to are pretty convinced Big E is the guy to dethrone Roman Reigns. I cannot tell by his booking.

I mean why build a wrestler slowly over time when you can get away with a couple months or less of build. Sure the fans won't be white hot but you can add the cheers in post.

Oh I'm sure some of the poor booking is done because someone in the back thinks it's hilarious. But for the most part I think it's by design everyone basically spins their wheels until it's time for a Kofimania or Bryan having his big heel run.

Around the time PAC won the NXT belt off Bo and up until around when Joe vs Nakamura was a thing, NXT felt like can't miss viewing or at the very least Takeovers did. Those are really the last wrestling events I could convince friends to come over for.

Firing a pregnant veteran might be the bridge too far in this circumstance considering how much WWE loves their relationship with the military. But that all depends on how much anyone would really care and the answer is probably not much.
