Dread Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Is Lesnar/Strowman not already a set match? I gathered that from Heyman's (insanely good) promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Its set. But I see a screwy finish leaving the title vacant. Especially if WWE skips Saudi Arabia for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Slightly related, since the steroid trial, has there been a worse month to be be Vince? (Like, The Benoit Thing is close, but Jesus.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 The Ricochet / Dunne match from September 19 was amazing. Did they have a rematch after that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 No but, NXT Takeover Brooklyn 4. Ricochet vs Adam Cole. Look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Then watch Ricochet vs Dunne vs Cole from October 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 On 10/19/2018 at 3:36 PM, The Master said: Thanks to Hulu I think I'm gonna give NXT a try. Is there anyone I should be paying attention to? I tried to apply this a lot when I did my TEW booking videos, but NXT has always been really good at putting forth the idea that everyone is good at something and that everyone on the card has a purpose. The weekly show is basic almost to a fault, but it makes the Takeovers that much better since they use simple, logical booking. I'd almost recommend going back to around the Nakamura era and starting from there, since you'll see the best of a lot of guys that are being wasted on the main roster now, and you'll also get context for all of the current Ciampa/Gargano stuff. NXT and the Mae Young tournament are literally the only WWE thing I watch anymore. The rest of my wrestling time is spent on UK and Japanese women's feds, which are amazing.

Molly Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 God, it just kills me to see The Revival and AoP just floundering on the main roster. And Sanity. And Almas. And Roode. And Asuka. And Ember. And Shinsuke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Okay. I know I’m all pissed off about Crown Jewel, but I finally caught this weeks’ NXT and I gotta give it props. The slow burn heel turn they’ve pulled with Gargano is so brilliant. Like the very act of feuding with Ciampa has tarnished his soul. Just great booking.

Molly Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 It’s been subtly hinted at, but: Look at Gargano’s attire at Brooklyn IV. I thought it was a a cute Finn Balor reference. It’s not. Venom is literally overwhelming the usual red and blue of his Spidey attire. He’s being corrupted by fighting Ciampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 Matt Riddle transitioning a test of strength into a surfboard (I think I have the wrong move) then into an armbar was fucking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I scrubbed through parts of Crown Jewel, and oh my god, three of the men in the main event cannot walk. Kane, Taker, and HBK looked like hobbled old men as they made their way to the ring. It was sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 HHH also picked up an injury in that match, and he was the youngest guy involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 That whole event was awful. It started fine, but from the Universal Title match on, it went to crazy town. What a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Didn't seem to have the time to watch the Mae Young Classic semi-finals. Also, had the winners spoiled way before the tournament aired, which always makes my interest go down. But holy hell, I love Meiko Satomura. Thought I had never seen her before this tournament, but turns out I had in a Chikara trios tournament. I need to see more of her kicking people and being awesome.

slothian Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Totally by chance too! The Smackdown roster are staying at my hotel. I arrived to find the entrance cordoned off and then the next thing I know, I'm having a selfie with Daniel Bryan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
