After Wyatt's inevitable loss, who would you guys pair with him Monday to begin a new feud? Is tillwant The Ascension to be recruited by him as his new disciples for Wyatt family 2.0.

I'd take him off TV for a while, and bring him back with a reunited Wyatt Family.

Kind of like how after WM14 Triple H announced he would reinvent DX as an army instead of two dudes, Wyatt needs to reinvent the family as an army. Might as well bring Harper back into the fold (he's not doing much right now by himself, and his look is kind of not working without context); Rowan I could take or leave, I think his current gimmick could have some more mileage to it if they play it right.

As was previously mentioned by Lobo, the Ascension would be a good fit, mainly out of default, but they could also use a hotshot athletic guy too just to work matches. Adrian Neville is a good choice; he's kind of weird looking (which is a compliment in this case). Bayley would be a good fit too; have her retain roughly the same personality she has now, she can be like a cross between Squeaky Fromme and Marilyn Munster.

Who said Wyatt's losing? I think he's getting put over for a potential title run later this year like they did with Lesnar last year. They are going to need some more main event heels post WM.

Taker losing two Manias in a row? I'll believe it when I see it.

- Former NWA Champion Adam Pearce is back working as a guest trainer at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando this week.

- Today is the first official day of training at the Performance Center since Bill DeMott resigned as head trainer. Today was described as just another day but there are said to be a lot of smiles among the developmental team. Those who didn't like DeMott are being very quiet about commenting about his departure out in the open while training. Nothing was said to the talents by coaches or staff in regards to DeMott.

- Morale in NXT is said to be extremely high right now, especially coming out of the live events and the WWE Experience at The Arnold in Ohio this weekend. That morale continued at the Performance Center today as the stories from Ohio were relayed to the talents who weren't brought on the road this weekend.

So I'm hearing that their is a chance the Briscoes might end up in NXT.

Dude, if they end up in NXT then Luke Harper and those two would make an awesome Wyatt Family 2.0.

Alongside that if they ever broke away from Bray and had a feud with him then it would pretty much have no option but to atleast have awesome promos done within said feud.

Looks like JR is clarifying his comments from the other day regarding Demott:

The following are highlights from the latest Jim Ross blog.

"Perhaps because my lack of writing expertise or maybe some simply wanted to believe what they chose to believe regarding what I wrote in my last blog about former WWE NXT Head Coach Bill DeMott so I will attempt to clarify my stance on this matter.

Firstly, I do not endorse the old school method of coaching whether it be on an athletic field, the gym or in pro wrestling classes. I do believe in pushing students to improve in all areas of their game and their presentation and to challenge them to achieve every thing that they envision earning as it relates to their career. The physical and mental toughness that is required to be a successful pro wrestler can be ascertained during drills and other exercises in the camp quite easily. Most talent evaluators can determine rather quickly, as in a few days, if someone has what it takes to thrive and grow in most pro wrestling camps.

I do not endorse any type of bigoted or bullying behavior in any walk of life and not just in sports or entertainment. How could any reasonable person embrace such behavior?

Many people have taken me to task about what I wrote recently about Bill DeMott and some reacted very callously and with no respect, apparently not practicing what they preach. Many of these people I've answered and very few have I 'blocked' even though their expressing themselves was often times hurtful.

Social media is a strange animal. I blogged about an idea aka fantasy booking about Ronda Rousey facing Stephanie McMahon at WM32 simply as an idea off the top of my head that I thought, and still do, that would be intriguing especially if played out over time and with the villain, Steph, loading the deck in her favor to prove that Ms McMahon is the alpha female in the ring and not Rousey. I stand behind that idea because I feel that fans will line up to support Ronda and likewise to see Stephanie get what is perceived that she has coming to her. For this 'fantasy booking' I was treated by many with defiance and disrespect and as if I had no clue about booking simply because I'm 63 and "the times have passed you by" stance. Trust me, I have a full grasp of the wrestling business in a multitude of areas plus age discrimination is just as insensitive as any other strain.

When I said in the DeMott blog that some of today's youth feel entitled and defiant at times, this Rousey-Stephanie example alone exemplifies that point or so it seems to me. All young people aren't defiant or suffer from entitlement but I will argue that many do and are, at times, challenging to coach. Again, no excuse to abuse them.

Again, being defiant or feeling entitled gives no one a free pass to exercise abuse in any form. Bigotry and discrimination must die or it will continue to decay our society.

Once all the facts come in and this matter is thoroughly investigated, if Bill DeMott is guilty of the many allegations that have popped up then Bill needed to step away from his role, as he has, and re-evaluate his philosophies and reassess his professional approach to coaching future pro wrestlers if that is what he pursues."

Welcome Back To The Wrestling Thread

Am I seeing Just For Men in Big Show's beard?

 

[Lobo]

I kind the idea of a Wyatt army. Harper, Ascension, and a directionless mid card wrestler or an nxt talent.

As for Rowan I kind of like him. With his size I see him working best as the powerhouse member of a tag team.

The Wrestling Thread Will Make You It's *****.

That promo only went on for 15 min but it felt like 45.

The Wrestling Thread Brought A Sack Of Potatoes.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Sucks that Bill DeMott is one of the main reasons why Kenny Omega doesn't wrestle in the U.S. that much anymore.

So I'm hearing that their is a chance the Briscoes might end up in NXT.

Dude, if they end up in NXT then Luke Harper and those two would make an awesome Wyatt Family 2.0.

Alongside that if they ever broke away from Bray and had a feud with him then it would pretty much have no option but to atleast have awesome promos done within said feud.

God I hope not.

Is Cody channeling The Riddler or The Joker?

 

[runawayboulder]

I wonder if I'll enjoy RAW more with the sound off...? This announce team actually got worse without Lawler. How in the heavens is that even possible???

 

[DarkSentinel]

Is Cody channeling The Riddler or The Joker?

Yes.

 

[S. Grundy]

Would have been funnier if Barrett pulled out a potato instead.

That said, I find this IC title stealing storyline very entertaining.
