    I think the WWE CC will focus more on ground and counter wrestling rather than flips which IMO is a good idea. Sure they'll be high flying stuff added in but with guys like Gulak, Busick, ZSJ, and maybe Gable they can do stuff that will make Regal swell with pride.

    This is massively underselling the amount of stylistic diversity there is in the lineup.

    Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

    Oh sure, and I'm glad we're getting that instead of just one style over and over.

    Although isn't there only like 1/3rd of the talent list announced so far? Maybe we get the full list this week.

    So what's the deal with volador jr and his mask

    He wears it sometimes, then takes it off mid-match

    Am I missing something? What's the deal with that?

    I wouldn't want this, honestly

    Like I love me some Chad Gable but the less currently active NXT talent, especially prominent dudes who are TV every other week and also have a title, the better.

    The fact that it is a collection of dudes we rarely see or haven't seen before gathered from across the world is what makes it super exciting

    Going back to wrestle movies for a second, I'm really glad that the panel of experts chosen to deal with the monster situation in that kaiju movie includes the DDT general manager.

    Also I just realized that we never watched Countdown, so that's happening tonight.

    Some people think that wrestling can not be one kind of product and anything that differs from what they personally prefer isn't real wrestling and is ruining wrestling.

    Those people are dumb.

    Those people are missing the point, as well.

    At the end of the day, professional wrestling is supposed to be entertaining above all else.

    Yes, it is an art. Yes, it is supposed to seem like real competition in some way. But the point is to make people give a shit, whether that be through great technical wrestling, a well-crafted story or through pure athleticism.

    Demanding that wrestling only serve one of these aspects is short-sighted and silly. An entire card of Ricochet/Ospreay would be awful. So would an entire card of hardcore matches. I see nothing wrong with serving as many segments of the crowd as possible with a variety of match types.

    Doesn't Dustin block people who mention Black Reign on Twitter? Also, maybe Tyler shouldn't mention the competition when he finally has the WWE writers on his side.

    That assumes [Who Could Possibly Give a Fuck Wrestling] is competition.

    Oh, I'm back to editing their name by the way.
