    That's pretty good

    There's only two good matches there. Granted those two should be really good.

    I think Sami vs Corbin could be quite good as well, its a nice mix of styles.

    (Sami vs. Corbin was one of the two matches that will be good)

    then i am baffled by how you think one of AJ / Owens or Dolph/ Nak is gonna be bad?

    Dolph is a shit head, but he can have great matches if he wants to.

    I've seen Cass around a few times. Usually down Colonial in the Fashion Square area.
    Wall Street used to be a big hangout. I think Bo was pretty well known there during his NXT days, Braun too. Honestly it might still be popular, but I haven't been drinking down town in forever.
    I've heard Paige used to be in Tanqueray's every once in a while. Again, that was back in NXT days.

    It wasn't that long ago Dolph was having awesome matches with Miz.

    He is a great in-ring worker and a perfect choice for Nak's first opponent.

    he is a tool but he is a literal selling machine, maybe the best since Regal retired...Nak beating the tar out of him is gonna be great,

    People are really upset with that Dolph promo last night. It's more of WWE not understanding to hide negatives and exploit positives is the biggest argument.

    I agree. I may not like Dolph's views outside the ring but I enjoy his matches. His Money in the Bank cash in is one of my favorite WWE moments. I loved Team Rocket Dolph.

    People are pointing out it was so bad that some of the crowd What'd Nak in response.

    Sadly, I think it was because he didn't speak perfect English and they were being fucking pricks about it.

    He'll sell all of Nak's offense like it's death, which will get Nak over with people who don't know who he is yet.

    Great first opponent for sure.

    Generally a super popular face doesn't get the What treatment.

    I absolutely believe it was due to his accent.

    Nak's problem isn't his accent so much as having to talk around that mouth guard, I think. No idea why he keeps that in for promos.

    VariableVariable Mouth Congress Stroke Me Lady FameRegistered User regular
    He also just debuted. Nxt and Japan are awesome but he just debuted in wwe. A single promo by someone else is why he's not popular enough to dodge what chants ?

    Thats if I even agree anyone can reliably dodge them and I'm not sure I do

    It's easy to say bullying can't be tolerated. What does Hall have to say about the stories that have come out about JBL specifically would be more interesting.

    I honestly don't think we can put any stock in old school wrestlers saying they're "against bullying" without defining what the means first.

    Because, from the stories we've heard over the years, a lot of the things that older guys consider as "ribbing" would easily fit under someone else's definition of bullying.

    Took a guy's passport and left him stranded in an airport = Ribbing

    A lot of the antics of the older wrestlers, looking back on it, is pretty shitty bullying. Even Mick Foley isn't immune from this. In his first book, while told in a humorous way, him and Steve Austin essentially made a bet to bully the shit out of DDP until he stopped rooming with them, with shit like the sprinkling cookies into his bed and just being an ass to him. Its a funny story because of DDP's reaction being so over the top and jumping onto Mick Foley while being completely naked, but its not hard to look back on it now and see how shitty that could be seen from DDP's view.

    The whole thing is you don’t rib guys you don’t like. You rib guys you do like. And then you’re there for them to rib back.

    Jim Cornette said he once responded to being bullied by Buzz Sawyer by beating the shit out of him with the edge of his tennis racket.

    Buzz Sawyer was also a huge psychotic asshole apparently, even by old school wrestling standards.
