How Did the WWE Locker Room React to Thursday's NXT Special?
Right now there is a lot of motivation in the WWE locker room to not let the NXT Special blow away the TLC PPV. There is also a feeling that the TLC PPV will be better than it would have been due to the success of NXT Takeover.

I swear WWE is trolling me. 2 days before I can officially cancel my Network subscription and they put on a great NXT show and start adding Prime Time to the vault.
ReplyDeleteThere funny thing is that the endings of both REvolution and TLC were/are totally predictable, but with the NXT show that didn't matter because it was great booking and superbly implemented, while TLC's main event will just feel like a bland continuation of the already mind-numbing status quo. Weird, isn't it? ;)
ReplyDeleteNo chance TLC will be half as good as the nxt show. Yup the zayn match was amazing but one thing that made R-evolution awesome was amazing booking. I can guarantee you that even if Rollins vs Cena delivers the goods like zayn the booking at the show will still be fucking shit.
ReplyDeleteI hope they go all out at TLC and that NXT injects some much needed motivation into the arms of the WWE.
ReplyDeleteWith all the bickering about negativity or whatnot recently, the WWE needs to generate some buzz. That we should all agree on.
You could just torrent all that stuff
ReplyDeleteIn other words, Ryback vs. Kane will only be a DUD instead of a minus 5 star match.
ReplyDeleteKane v. Ryback could be a total disaster the way Kane has looked recently
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that the writers/agents will probably think "overly convoluted but cool looking spot" > actual storyteling.
ReplyDeleteI just voted for Nas in the song poll. Btw, that song came out in 96 not 94. It doesn't matter but idk. I'm trying to think of the wrestling equivalent of Nas. Someone that had a kickass match 20 years ago that hasn't done anything really noteworthy sense.
ReplyDeleteWWE improve? I'd've thought they'd just tell NXT to tone it down next time.
ReplyDeleteMeltzer was talking today how people are saying the WWE is dumb for not being able to do what NXT is doing in terms of buzz but also noted how RAW has so many constraints that you can not do what they are in NXT now. However, it still doesnt excuse the WWE storylines at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAgreee. I've been a Kane fan for a long time, but he's clearly passed the tipping point where he can still put on solid, if unspectacular, matches. Now he just looks slow and tired and sucks the energy out of the room. Not the guy you want against Ryback.
ReplyDeleteIt's time for Kane to retire, before he overstays his welcome and tarnishes what is a very good legacy up to recently.
He almost killed one of the Uso's by not catching them on a dive. It was brutal.
ReplyDeleteSelf imposed constraints?
ReplyDeleteOnly the WWE could turn a 2 hour wrestling show into a 3 hour one, but feature less wrestling. I swear if TLC opens with a talking segment I'm going to fill up my swear jar in the space of a minute or so.
ReplyDeleteUSA, Sponsors, Etc.
ReplyDeleteOverexposure, indeed.
ReplyDeleteYou joke, but it's probably going to happen eventually.
ReplyDeleteI got it! Nas is Jericho. Illmatic is like the Dean Malenko feud.They've done some aight stuff since then but be honest, both have one masterpiece that anyone really gives a shit about.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are going to go with a Zayn/Owens/Neville at the next NXT live special
ReplyDeleteMuch like Road Dogg (was that Cody?), who also overstayed his welcome at that stage...
ReplyDeleteA triple threat main with those three could blow the roof off :)
ReplyDeleteGoddammit, I need this to happen.
ReplyDeleteI'd personally allow Zayn and Owens story to develop on its own. Adding Neville to the mix may water down the abhorrence story Zayn/Owens can narrate.
ReplyDeleteI'm prepared to file it under "Highly Entertaining Disaster."
ReplyDeleteThe Triple H/Steph thing would be Oochie Wally?
ReplyDeleteGin Blossoms' "New Miserable Experience" is such a great record. Doug Hopkins was a great songwriter before he offed himself.
ReplyDeleteyeah hahahaha
ReplyDelete"There is also a feeling that the TLC PPV will be better than it would have been due to the success of NXT Takeover."
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the sentiment they were trying to get across, but I'd rather believe the wrestlers would try to provide a kick-ass show every time out, not just when the developmental league makes the main product look like amateur hour.
I think I've read Kane is more than willing to retire but the money is just too good.
ReplyDeleteif you're going in terms of great feuds as great albums, The HBK feud has to be "Illmatic," even if it wasn's exactly 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteAre Kane and Big Show the last two wrestlers who debuted in the 90s who are still on the active WWE roster and on TV most Mondays? I was trying to think of any others and drawing a blank.
ReplyDeleteGoldust
ReplyDeleteDid everyone forget how great a track "Cantaloop (Flip Fantasia)" is? One of the best examples of early 90s jazz/hip-hop jams.
ReplyDeleteI dislike Brian Kendrick. Of all the things that sucked in TNA, his terrible character may have been the thing that sucked the most.
ReplyDeleteHe was really good when he was in RoH and I liked him in the WWE with London but after that he was fairly useless.
ReplyDeleteIf the guy is making money and WWE is willing to keep him around, why should he retire? I imagine it helps supplement his income for his insurance business.
ReplyDeleteHe also very clearly stopped giving a shit
ReplyDeleteSteen is the second baddest-ass heel on the roster after Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is sad.
Thank you...I knew there had to be others. Maybe it's because Goldust went away for a while before coming back with an updated look that he doesn't feel as stale. And of course, one of the problems with Kane and Big Show is as giants/super heavyweights is that they've lost a LOT of mobility, so they seem a lot older then they are.
ReplyDeleteThat too.
ReplyDeleteI'd have Zayn kayfabe and injury and have to give the title up after finally winning it, have a tournament with Neville and Owens in the final, KO beats him and then Sami makes his return to run a Zayn-Owens program and give them 12 minutes at Wrestlemania.
ReplyDeleteis Henry still around?
ReplyDeleteI grew up with a guy named Brian Kendrick. Hated him.
ReplyDeleteWanted to like Spanky, but couldn't. Because fuck I hated Brian Kendrick.
Given that Kendrick is from Washington....
ReplyDeleteSounds like a real prick.
ReplyDeleteThe exact same news came out the last time there was an NXT event the Thursday before a PPV. Copy, paste, edit news.
ReplyDeleteHe's what they want Rusev to be; the difference being, Rusev's jingoistic foreign heel schtick is a wrestling trope from the NINETEEN-FIFTIES, whereas Kevin Owens has more agility, a badass move set, and far more presence.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know right? He was born like 40 miles away from where I'm sitting actually. But fuck Brian Kendrick, we don't claim him.
ReplyDeleteNow Daniel on the other hand, that's all us. You're welcome.
there is a difference between writing and booking. NXT is booked while WWE is written, big difference IMO and why one is so much better.
ReplyDeleteDoes HHH count as "active roster" technically?
ReplyDeleteAt some point, the main roster will quit caring and just collect whatever paycheck they can. The longer people get stuck on the treadmill, the more apathetic they are.
ReplyDeleteParker made him look like a million bucks, too. Owens should thank him for cracking his nose, made it look even more badass.
ReplyDeleteThat palm strike was one of the sickest things I've seen in awhile, because I could imagine the cracking noise being a combination of the poor bastard's nose and CJ's hand going kablooey.
ReplyDeleteOh man, this is gonna star- Oh, VJ left. Nevermind. Perfectly fine comment.
ReplyDeleteWatching this Prime Time, I have to wonder if Tony Atlas knew he was still allowed to work out his legs.
ReplyDeleteThat it was.
ReplyDeleteMentioned this in another thread today. I'm booking William Regal to fill the role of Bruno Sammartino while Zayn recovers from the storyline injury, in a reverse Steamboat/Savage dynamic (Regal's promo on Steen after the special was breathtakingly awesome). When Owens beats the piss out of Regal in a couple of weeks, have Zayn make the triumphant return and beat high holy Hell all over Full Sail.
ReplyDeleteThrew out my cuisinart coffee maker this morning. I miss instant delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt was almost too perfect a moment to not have been planned out in advance. Either way, it was pretty awesome, but I wouldn't be surprised if the hardway blood was somewhat planned/hoped for.
ReplyDeleteReading forums where comic book nerds debate who would win in a battle is mind numbing once you get into it.
ReplyDeleteCould Superman survive Galactus? You get everything from Galactus one-timing Supes into dust, to Superman holding his own enough to narrowly escape, and then it devolves into comparing the strength of different pictured blasts from Galactus based on..?
Jimmy Hart had the best ringwear.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they would send a guy out there to legitimately have his nose broken, which I'm pretty sure was reported as legit after the show.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't count him as active. He's more or less retired but occasionally wrestles a match or two a year as a special attraction. Also I'd argue the difference between Kane and Big Show and someone like Henry is that they've been consistently at or near the top of the card for their entire run, while Henry has been a little more midcard, plus lately he's been out with injuries so often he doesn't feel like a regular fixture.
ReplyDeleteHere's a cop beating a puppy to death with an extension cord.
ReplyDeleteHere's a cop handing gold bullion to a homeless man.
- Facebook the last two weeks
The fact that McMahon could not even come up with a sound clarification why the WWE champion was off TV for months illustrates how unimaginative and antiquate Vince McMahon has become.
ReplyDeleteMore than anything, it really just illustrates how terrible this Brock idea was from the start.
ReplyDeleteI'll be the first to admit, the Great Experiment with Brock Lesnar is looking like a failure. I had such high hopes once the shock of the Streak being ended had worn off, but the finances of bringing in Lesnar just made it cost-prohibitive to make the whole deal work.
ReplyDeleteThat puppy shouldn't have stolen human food from the garbage! He was scared because it was a black lab puppy!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be travesty for them if he does not resign. The man who broke the most decorated thing in WWE history left the company the following year. That looks terrible.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much worse here in NYC.
ReplyDeleteWhat? A cop bought eggs for a woman who was caught shoplifting them?
ReplyDeleteYEAH. RIGHT. I bet this poor woman was just trying to buy eggs, and as she left, the store's security-beeper thing went off by accident, and cops parachuted through the ceiling, with an AK-47...no, no, a BAZOOKA! And shot the lady right in the face with it, and her head blew-up and the cops then said she was ugly! And hopefully a well informed, non-racially bias hero, like a basketball player, will wear a shirt that says "Hey, Cops, are lives cheaper by the dozen eggs?"

It sucks, maybe if this whole thing had happened two years earlier when PPV buys were still a thing...maybe they could've justified bringing him in more.
ReplyDeleteBut now with none of that revenue and the ratings in the shitter....it just wasn't meant to be.
that would be stealing
ReplyDeleteIf protests get SantaCon to be toned down, I'm all for cops choking more people out
ReplyDeleteArgh my brain. I still don't understand a word of this :(
ReplyDeleteOh god, I bet. On occasion I see the photos of the dunces laying down, but it's on occasion. I can't imagine dealing with those shits on the daily.
ReplyDeleteOccupy was enough for me. Protestors should be waterboarded for sport.
The Lesnar thing could have been really cool, but the reality of it has not been good.
ReplyDeleteThis will be the first time I've seen Ted Arcidi in action. I've heard great things.
ReplyDeleteReposting from another site, because it's tragically spot-on.
ReplyDelete"Overall, I gave (NXT Takeover R Evolution) a 4/10.
Kevin Owens is ok, but I don’t think the gimmick is ever going to stand out, he clearly needs to be in a bear costume and come out riding a unicycle. That will grab people’s attention once he’s on the big stage.
Tag Title match was interesting, but I feel both teams lack a little something. Maybe both need a little person dressed as an anthropomorphic animal, this may be a bit of overkill with Kevin Owens new appearance, but this is the only way sports entertainers can stand out.
The women had a great match, but the feud was not very believable. No one wants to see women wrestling over being the best, this feud should have been centered on Charlotte and Sasha fighting to see who can make out with Finn Balor. Also, the match in no way resembled what a real fight between women would be like, I didn’t see one instance of hair pulling or slapping of asses. A crowd won’t stand this lack of attention to detail.
Speaking of Finn Balor his tag partner for the night is struggling to get over, mostly because he cannot cut a promo. His next feud should be with a bigger wrestler like Baron Corbin or Bull Dempsey and his promos should entirely consist of him mouthing Japanese while Ole
Anderson is in the back on a microphone speaking in English and referring to his opponent as Godzilla. Now that is comedy gold.
Finally, the main event. Solid match but the build up had no sizzle, if the go home show of NXT had involved a series of photoshopped images of Adrian Neville with bad teeth, or if Sami Zayn had dumped poop on Neville from the rafters, then you would have a program people can really get behind.
Obviously the show is still in development, if HHH can spend a bit more time under the learning tree of Vince and Kevin Dunn, I’m sure this show will turn around in no time."
I'm still sad I was in New York twice post-Garner and didn't see anything. I saw a bunch of cops running around Grand Central though.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if you drink any time Bourne, Treadstone, or Blackbriar are mentioned....you will be drunk in 90 minutes.
ReplyDeleteIt's some pretty 'high Caliber' stuff.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't Rollins just cash in at NoC properly? It would have made everything these past few months more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think our best performance was the WTO, outsiders came in and trashed this city for that. I got to cover it and still have the pants I was wearing with a huge tear gas stain across the shins, I was so fucking thrilled to be getting hit with tear gas, that was a young reporters wet dream at the time.
ReplyDeleteI uh, I would like to see Itami mouthing Japanese with Ole Anderson cutting promos. It would mean Ole Anderson promos.
ReplyDeleteBattle in Seattle was a cool movie.
ReplyDeleteI used to have to deal with Iraq War protesters all the time in college. That was fun.
I once went to a screening of a doc about war deserters and one of the deserters was there. I asked the organizer if I could just call the government and say where the guy was. They weren't amused
Didn't Kendrick talk a lot of shit about Hunter in a shoot? Now he's looking for a job.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of Hideo Itami, KENTA, being reduced to a comedy jobber makes my heart ache. I'm almost hoping he makes like the wind and gets back to Japan.
ReplyDeleteY'all two are awfully nihlist!
ReplyDeleteLol. The Iraq protests were so silly, talk about a group of people that feel they should have a cause but aren't really sure how to go about it.
ReplyDeleteI guess it didn't help that I was in uniform for most of those...
Was that Caliber who wrote that.
ReplyDeleteHe was right to try it, but unfortunately he just doesn't fit with US wrestling. I'd have tried to get Nakamura. He's bigger and has a lot more personality.
ReplyDeleteVince Russo reviews NXT?
ReplyDeleteToo many signs compared George Bush to Hitler and all this other awful stuff.
ReplyDeleteObviously.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Like, I could even respect the idea, but they just went about it so embarrassingly.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things to tell the fundies in my life is along the lines of, "You realize when it comes to Obama you guys act JUST LIKE 2003 liberals right?"
Mostly London.
ReplyDeleteThese fan signs are so corny I'm almost positive Vince made them himself.
ReplyDeleteSo since the Authority is no longer in power, is Kane still the Director of Operations?
ReplyDelete"[T]alk about a group of people that feel they should have a cause but aren't really sure how to go about it."
ReplyDeleteI feel this more accurately describes the Occupy protests.
I was trying to find his post lamenting "What am I supposed to call THEM? Is it black? Is it African American? What do good upstanding Americans call THEM?"
ReplyDeleteBut sadly I can't find it.
I wonder if his demotion to director of concessions is still valid.
ReplyDeleteIf he ever makes it to the main roster, his absolute ceiling is probably a Kofi Kingston-type run where he winds up with a token Intercontinental Title run, then finds his niche as the Ricky Morton in a tag team. If they insist on keeping him and Balor together as a tag team, they at least need to give him a new look to help him keep abreast; otherwise Balor will leave him behind.
ReplyDeleteLondon was a good worker, but he had way too much self-importance. The way he talks about himself makes me think he thought he was supposed to be the next Stone Cold.
ReplyDeleteWell definitely, Stanhope does a very succinct ripping apart of their battle plan in his Netflix special...
ReplyDeleteBut at the time I didn't have Occupy to compare it too, so it was the saddest thing I'd yet seen.
I never saw a promotion on-screen, so to me he's forever Koncessions Kane.
ReplyDeleteThe police wanting to ban deBlasio from funerals is hilarious
ReplyDeleteWell when your mayor is belittling his own police force for something a vast majority of NYC cops would never do, it's not going to get better before it gets worse.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it NYC's nanny government that has made selling loose cigarettes a crime worthy of arresting a guy for anyway?
DID YOU KNOW DEBLASIO BLACK KID? BLACK? KID? DIBLASIO.
ReplyDelete- What that guy looks like to the rest of the country
How did you miss Caliber linking to BreitBart for an article about women?
ReplyDeleteA great read, with my favorite paragraph being something that is so insanely true.
"Women today are schooled in victimhood, taught to be aggressively vulnerable and convinced that the slightest of perceived infractions, approaches or clumsy misunderstandings represents "assault," "abuse" or "harassment." That may work in the safe confines of campus, where men can have their academic careers destroyed on the mere say-so of a female student. "
Don't talk shit about Bloomberg, she only had everyone's best interests at heart.
ReplyDeleteArmageddon 2006 started off with an awful MVP Kane inferno match!
ReplyDeleteRusev's heel shtick is lame, other than Lana's trolling. I'd say he's more agile than Steen. And presence, c'mon. Rusev is like a huge ball of muscle.
ReplyDeleteThat's what it looked like here too. He only won because he has a black kid with an afro and the field was somehow the most incompetent group of candidates put together.
ReplyDeleteIf you want high comedy, watch the Republican primary debate. Me and my friend were quoting lines from it for months
Inferno Matches are a terrible idea in general.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I caught that, lol
ReplyDeleteBut most of the funny is in the other guy's quote not Cal's so I didn't post
Same title as Hoss. Wonder if he melts all the ice cream?
ReplyDeleteYou mean a 5'8" 180 pounder wasn't going to be Stone Cold's successor? Get out of town
ReplyDeleteWhy are you smokers such pussies? Why do you allow yourselves to be pushed around? Do you think the NRA would allow all of this bullshit to happen? You guys are chastised and ridiculed left & right, and you just sit there and ask for more.
ReplyDeleteAnything for shock value or attention.
ReplyDeleteI wish he would, seriously.
ReplyDeleteWasn't NY the taxes too damn high guy too?
ReplyDeleteJesus you guys are a mess.
The nanny state is a direct result of 12 years of Bloomberg, with the "progressive" de Blasio continuing it, despite it going against EVERYTHING he campaigned for last year.
ReplyDeleteBetween the interactions with police and his attempts to ban the Carriage Horses in NYC as a political thank you for donations to his campaign, his first year has been an absolute joke. Glad I voted for Lhota.
He's just so..........impotent.
ReplyDeleteThat's the word, in everything, impotent.
I actually ran into Bloomberg once. I would've done anything to be holding a Big Gulp at the time
ReplyDeleteA tiny man doing gymnastics is clearly the next everyman that a large section of society will identify with.
ReplyDeleteIt's what we all wish that we could do, but can't.
Rent is too damn high
ReplyDeleteLhota sucked too
ReplyDeleteThe one last year with Bray and Kane was even more idiotic
ReplyDeleteOnce the primary was over, and I had a chance to sit down with Lhota and de Blasio, I immediately decided to vote Republican in the Mayoral race. Lhota made tons of sense, was open to new ideas and seemed to want to make things better in the City.
ReplyDeleteBill de Blasio? He just wanted to be Mayor. Guy was a jackass from jump street.
MVP was so bad in the beginning. I get that his gimmick at that point was that he was all hype but actually sucked and wore a goofy Power Rangers suit, but jeez.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, there's no way a woman would be in a real fight with her hair looking like Charlotte's did Thursday. It needs to be pulled back and/or tightly braided.
ReplyDeleteWhether or not Itami ever makes it on the main roster, when he finally hits the GTS on someone down at Full Sail, I think the crowd may have an orgasm.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but he made more sense than de Blasio.
ReplyDeleteBLACK KID. Don't you see? Kid. Black. No-brainer.
ReplyDeleteHe's gone silent on the carriage horse thing once he realized how unpopular his attempt to ban it was (like 88% unfavorable or something ridiculous like that) and the fact that it was mostly a ploy for developers to get their hands on the land the stables are on
ReplyDeleteOh, right. I can't be bothered to keep up. I just remember he looked like JYD if JYD had made it to 70.
ReplyDeleteEveryone in that race sucked basically.
ReplyDeleteYeah. BROCK just goes away cause his contract says he can .
ReplyDeleteHome Alone is on, so why is everyone still posting
ReplyDeleteGone silent? It was all over the news this week, as he had a couple of his puppets in the progressive caucus (what a fucking joke of a name) introduce the bill into the City Council.
ReplyDeleteThe carriage horse issue isn't going away any time soon.
That bugs me. Her hair is all in her face every match.
ReplyDeleteBuzz's girlfriend.......woof!
ReplyDeleteNah. I mean greatest work. Nothing jericho has done approaches his feud with Dean
ReplyDeleteThat's actually a boy.
ReplyDeleteThe guy who played Buzz was in Nebraska. I freaked out.
try youtube comments about bigfoot videos some time. It'll make you very very ashamed to be a human
ReplyDeleteI have to see Nebraska
ReplyDeleteI watched that once.
ReplyDeleteNever had coffee. Hate the smell.
ReplyDeleteOh I know it's still there - but notice he's not the one talking about it. It's his puppets. He's trying to back his name off it
ReplyDeleteI won't argue that very much, but there were two or three candidates (from the Primary) that would have been a better choice as Mayor than BdB.
ReplyDeleteIts another small touch they don't care about in an effort to make them look pretty.
ReplyDeleteWe know what female fighters look like now...and that ain't it.
It bothers me more with Adrian Neville.
ReplyDeleteLook what you did you little JERK
ReplyDeleteDiBlasio got picked simply because nobody wanted Quinn or Weiner in charge
ReplyDeleteEventually, it had to go to the City Council, though. It won't pass, there are enough votes against it in the council and the Progressive Caucus isn't as strong as it was six months ago. Does way too much harm.
ReplyDeleteThey need to beat BROCK a bunch of he's not coming back. I don't see how him dropping the belt to reigns is going to make Reigns this big star.
ReplyDeleteHell if they did a storyline similar yo Zayn and Neville with Reigns and Cena that would make Reigns a bigger star. Instead of "you can't win the big one," CENA would say, "Roman you can't do anything on your own. You were a big deal with the Sheild but on your own you haven't done anything." Crna could be all tweenery too just like Neville.
Saw that twice in the theatres as a kid. I feel old now.
ReplyDeleteChristine Quinn seemed to have it wrapped up but then never actually campaigned or did anything to rally the gay community.
ReplyDeleteThe asian was corrupt.
Anthony Weiner was well....yea.
Castamitidis was not a serious candidate.
Who else?
You're wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching the 1998 NBA All-Star game. I forgot they wore their own teams' jerseys back then.
ReplyDeleteI saw Home Alone 2 the Tuesday after it came out. I don't think me and my dad ever laughed so hard.
ReplyDelete... God Almighty, that movie's almost twenty-five years old.
ReplyDeleteThe Daniel Stern electrocution scene in Home Alone 2 was the absolute best in the theaters, and the blow torch-gasoline toilet scene as well.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there.
ReplyDeleteHe's also in a tiny but awesome indie movie called Blue Ruin in a small, pivotal role.
ReplyDeleteHence why only something like 22% of registered voters voted. It would've been higher if "None of the above" was an option
ReplyDeleteI already picture half of the crowd jumping up and down with joy.
ReplyDeleteHaving watched Home Alone about 400 times, it really bugs me how the movie really makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteWord. Then you're spot-on.
ReplyDeleteWould you hire Caliber to write for your paper? Based solely on his writing skills, not his obvious bat-shit-craziness.
ReplyDeletefine, enjoy your bean based beverage. I hope you're lucky enough to get that little cube of pork that comes in cans of pork and beans in your next cup of piping hot bean juice.
ReplyDeleteYeah, esp where the parents weren't arrested for neglect.
ReplyDeleteHence another reason why DeBlasio is backing away from it publicly. He knows it's a loser. He can still tell his supporters "look how hard I fought for it!" without looking like a loser (well, more of a loser) to the general public.
ReplyDeleteThe WWE needs a legitimate cruiserweight division in the worst fucking way. Turn it into the purest of the wrestling divisions and let the workers dazzle with the crazy moves to inject some freshness into Monday nights. Give it to Kenta as a personal challenge to make it reputable, and throw in Rey Mysterio on occasion as a special attraction as the Godfather of the division.
ReplyDeleteQuinn would have been a great Mayor, same "fuck off" attitude as Bloomberg, but not as far to the right.
ReplyDeleteJohn Liu was a good guy who let his inner demons make bad decisions. I like John a lot, but after this year, he's done in professional politics.
I was a fan of Adolfo Carrion, but he didn't do enough to get his name out there.
Even if there was no way that they could win, they would have made better mayors than BdB. Guy was all about himself from jump street in a way that a lot of the other candidates weren't.
Old Man Marley just lets him stay in the house by himself? The family never finds out about what happened, it doesn't make the news?
ReplyDeleteAn 8-year-old boy is home alone and the police don't do everything to find him?
I saw that once too. Also in a theatre.
ReplyDeleteLondon was a nice acrobat, but Kendrick is the FAR superior of the two.
ReplyDeleteOh fucking Christ no, he's terrible lol
ReplyDeleteThat's what he use to be refered to when I was younger, one of my friends who use to watch wrestling kept jokingly saying that MVP's entrance should have gone like this.
ReplyDelete"Go go Power Rangers.....I'm coming!"
Watching RoH Night of the Grudges. The "Pure Wrestling" stuff was so damn boring.
ReplyDeleteI just remember Liu stumbling bad in the debates. Quinn seemed uncomfortable with being the frontrunner and did everything possible to make herself less prominent.
ReplyDeletePlus, I had no idea she was gay, which come on, should've been a big deal
If I ran a homeless newspaper, I wouldn't hire Caliber.
ReplyDeleteNo they don't. They just need to treat the belts they have with respect. Adding a cruiserweight division will just result in another champion they have doing jobs in nontitle matches.
ReplyDeleteAJ v. London MOTYC
ReplyDeleteHaven't got to that yet. Just finished Chance Beckett vs. Matt Stryker.
ReplyDeleteI've no doubt he'd be the kind of guy that only wants to write about what he feels like, not what he's told to.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Extant could elaborate on this too but like, the difference between a "writer" and a "reporter" is hilariously obvious within about 4 seconds of the first interview.
Seriously? Because it was all I heard about from the moment I moved to the City in 2011.
ReplyDeleteAt least there they didn't try to "set anyone on fire." There the fire was just to keep the other Wyatts out.
ReplyDeleteI was at this show. Got free tickets with my cousin that they were handing out in an attempt to fill up the crowd. 13 year old me loved it.
ReplyDeleteEw. Pork and beans? I'm not homeless.
ReplyDelete"Writer"
ReplyDeleteI roll my eyes whenever anyone uses that word to describe themselves.
Yea, I learned early on that 99 percent of the assignments I cover suck and the goal is to go there, get the photos, get the quotes and get out.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying Vince would do it right; in a perfect world you jettison the U.S. Title and turn the Intercontinental Title into what it should be (the workrate belt, plus a stepping stone for up-and-comers). That gives you a chance to have your smaller workers go for a title that has a cool prestige to it once you re-establish it with guys like Kidd, Kenta and maybe even Neville.
ReplyDeleteI'll say this, though: Vince better get the fuck over his big man fetish if he hasn't already done so, because I've seen the future stars of his company, and there ain't a damn one that's over 205 lbs. and 6' tall.
If I ran a homeless shelter I wouldn't give him soup.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a complete troll, but unfortunately The Idiots That Be would take this literally.
ReplyDeleteI remember first week of reporting class when our teacher laid the smackdown on that and seeing all the kids faces.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know she was gay until I looked it up. I didn't hear about it from her campaign.
ReplyDelete
