    Literally the only dude in there I would get excited about is Morrison

    Angle would be good as a manager but shouldn't wrestle

    I don't understand this contract signing
    Why is allowing the Club in even on the table
    What tension is there that AJ would ever take that deal anyway

    By signing the "/w the Club" contract AJ is essentially admitting he can't beat Cena clean, and that he's going to have the Club interfere somehow, his victory will forever be tainted and he won't gain any credit for a "real" win over Cena.

    If he signs the "no Club" contract, which he did, he's agreeing to no Club at ringside, it'll be him and Cena, one on one, better man wins.

    Okay, but... why would he ever sign the first one
    Why would they have Cena give that spiel and then try to create any kind of expectation that AJ would actually do that one

    Cena was trying to manipulate Styles. He played to Styles' ego and desire to be the absolute best to get Styles to ban his own buddies from ringside.

    And if they're going to try to bring anyone back, I'd love to see MVP get another shot. I always liked him.

    Per Meltzer and a flub in WWE's weekly network recap, Kalisto was originally the 7th man in the MitB match

    Now he is doing a pre show tag match with the Dudleys

    Wonder what happened there

    Goldberg I can't see coming back on a full time schedule, he'd get the Brock deal. But no way Vince pays him as much. Mysterio I'd only like to see feud with Kalisto. Jeff Hardy I just don't see much use for in WWE anymore. Angle could be primarily a mentor and wrestle on occasion.

    Who would you first pick for Raw?
    Kevin Owens
    And Smackdown? Cesaro (Actually, if I were running either, the correct pick would be "Brock Lesnar," but anyway...)

    Carlito I don't give a shit about unless he forms a heel trio with Epico and Primo, and even then that's pushing it. Cryme Tyme? Eh. Less stereotype bullshit please if they are returning. I'm pretty sure Shelton Benjamin is still an utter void of charisma so nope to him. Morrison isn't much better in the charisma department but I like watching him more.

    Everyone excited for the New Japan show tonight? The card looks pretty great. I'm really looking forward to:
    - Naito/Okada for the big belt
    - Omega/Elgin in a ladder match
    - Kushida/Ospreay
    And a bunch of other stuff.

    Now taking bets on how angry this match makes Vader.

    Everyone is different. Everyone is special.

    Also Benjamin is about to turn 41 so unless he's still in amazing shape he won't be able to do all the cool shit he used to do.

    Vince has to find out how the campaign ends.

    He has to.

  • wirehead26wirehead26 Registered User regular
    Cryme Tyme with a retooled non-stereotype gimmick could be a great heel foil for Enzo and Cass.

    The racial connotations would be way too awkward though, even if they never bring race up in the feud.

    Watching Smackdown!, which I DVR'd...what is it about Becky Lynch? She seems to have more personal chemistry with anyone they team her up with than either Nikki or Brie had with their own twin sister.

    One of the "benefits" to having a two week old baby is that I basically don't sleep at all at night... So I'm really excited to finally watch a NJPW show live.

    New Japan is pretty much the only wrestling I get to see live. Except for the rare occasion that a WWE event coincides with a public holiday down here, or that one live Japan show they did.

    More awesome would be if they developed something all-new that we've never seen before -- something maybe he'd use if he were still wrestling.

    Question about the network: If I can't start watching mitb until an hour after it starts, do I have to wait for it to be over to watch it from the beginning? Or can I just start it from the beginning mid-stream?

    There is a "Watch from Beginning" option for live streams.

    Huh, apparently due to a lawsuit with one of the big ticketing companies, I've got 2 general admission passes I can use for 1 event through 2020. Guess I'll have to make some time next time WWE rolls through town...

    keeping the team together because a brand split means they need more? idk, that's a shame I'd have loved to see him as a step away from a step away from the title.

    he also did that amazing selena del sol on the ladder in that tag match

    Sadly, the vouchers are just through Livenation, not ticketmaster themselves. And wwe does not go through livenation. And they can be used at select shows only (none announced so far).

    ongoing NJPW stuff
    Bucks win the Jr Tag belts again, KUSHIDA beats Ospreay, the fucking briscoes win the heavyweight tag belts, before getting jumped by adam page and the bullet club, marking this as a rare occasion where I have to root for the Bullet Club

    non title stuff

    LIJ loses the tag match and EVIL loses to Goto, gotta put CHAOS over i guess

    shibata beat nagata for the openweight belt, very emotional match
