DLC Inc posted:one of the things HHH doesn't get enough poo poo about is how bad a lot of NXT callups tend to do on main roster. years back when beloved son Aleister Black came up, he did literally nothing for like 90% of his tenure, spending time in a closet begging people to knock on his door. Andrade, in his first tenure with WWE, didn't do much either. Both were ripped from extremely good programs in NXT way, way too early and suffered for it. Carmelo Hayes coming out to crickets and then loving up immediately is par for the course now. Look at DIY, once the most over act in NXT (before the Shakespearean drama of a feud and the doubleturn that wasn't needed at all.) Now they're just two losers. Most of the actually successful NXT wrestlers were Dusty's recruits, weren't they? Who are the post-Dusty success stories? Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley, I suppose. I know absolutely nothing of anybody who debuted after 2018, but the 2016-2018 people are all either in AEW or the Karrion Kross Phantom Zone.

Just looking at the list, quite a lot of the current champions started in NXT after Dusty had died (Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, Asuka*, Kairi, Damian Priest, also recent champions Gunther and Iyo) *) joined just after his death

Watching the smackdown and lmao at people chanting "Whoop that Trick" at Carmelo Hayes. Edit: Carlito heel turn! Edit 2: I'll be honest I think the draft episodes with a small amount of wrestling is fine for 2 episodes of a tv show, but I'd be mega pissed if I spent $400 to see this in the arena.

There's still a TV deal gap for Raw between October and the Netflix deal until January, right? I'm sure the TKO/WWE execs believe they'll figure something out but what if they don't? Stream it on UFC Fight Pass? Twitter? Something even funnier?

Edit: I like that Rollins was drafted but he is out for 3-4 more months What if Becky doesn't resign, but doesn't lose the title. Can she keep the belt like Flair did?

If Cody is injured the move is for Roman to beat let’s say Drew for the vacant title. Via Bloodline interference.

Uncle Ulty posted:It's so weird to me because Carmelo Hayes is a local guy I've seen quite a bit as he climbed through the indies in our area. He was massively talented and got over so quickly in every promotion he worked for, and carried so many titles before he got signed. According to Wikipedia, Carmelo Hayes is 5'10" and Trick Williams is 6'4". I have never seen them wrestle. That Google was all I needed to figure out who WWE would push.

It's a cool move but that specific melo and ricochet clip looks like slow motion compared to other times it's been done.

The second rope cutter is one of those moves that's already really straining credibility because it looks like it hurts the person giving it significantly more than the person taking it and it doesn't even look significantly more cool than a regular running cutter. I would argue Orton and Mox's cutter look cooler than the Cody Cutter or the Oscutter most of the time. These dueling cutter spots are just goofy but at least the Cody/Melo botch where both guys totally eat poo poo and one of them gets injured is honest about the logical conclusion of that spot.

basically the only reason for springboard no look moves like that is to get totally owned by your opponent in mid air and crumple to the ground doing the yamcha death pose Cody cutter, the lethal injection, oscutter, they should all be countered 100% of the time and never ever hit
