The Wrestling Thread MUST End In Pinball Or Submission - - - - - Part 222

[Dr. Evil]

I dunno if it was posted here or not but the overseas schedule is just insane. Then they have to fly back to America for Raw and SD.

I think the next Raw and Smackdown are going to be taped in London. From what I remember, when the WWE tours Europe, they usually have their TV tapings in London and then they take a few days off. They are not going back to the states just to tape Raw and Smackdown this week. It'll be in London. The European Tour is for the WWE fans in Milan, Rome, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Munich, Hamburg to see the WWE live. They always though tape TV during the European tours in Britain.

Meanwhile in TNA......

How soon until Erik Tumbleweed shows up in NXT?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Dalton Castle settled his feud with Silas Young in a fight without honor.

The Briscoes are going to challenge War Machine for the tag belts

Donavan Djack put Truth in the hospital and joined Prince Nana

What's left of the kingdom is exploding

Global Wars/war of the worlds is coming up

Lio Rush had a damn good match with Lethal

Colt Cabana came back and challenged Lethal

For reasons beyond my comprehension, the Corino/Whitmer feud is still ongoing.


I think that covers most of it.

Thank you!

I was able to catch the Castle/Silas match.

This weeks NXT thoughts

Wrestlemania Axxess was mostly dead quiet during this taping.

If Tessa Blanchard continues to improve they could pair her up with Charlotte Flair one day for a female Legacy stable.

The curse of greatness? I think this is Angelo Dawkins third gimmick in three years. I do like his new theme music.

Tom saying Alexa has resting b**** face

Shinsuke Nakamura getting a "He's 11" chant against his perfect ten opponent Tye Dillinger

I still think Dillinger is severely underrated. Dillinger gets a better pop than some of the NXT main eventers.

If NXT had mid tier title then I would of liked to see guys like Breeze, Corbin, Crews and Dillinger hold it.

I think Liv Morgan has big potential. Gionna Daddio is cute and very athletic. Her biggest problem is her generic wrestling name and dancing New Jersey girl gimmick suck. Not letting her use her real name or a variation of it is lame.

Tucker Knight looks like a Disco Bull Dempsey.

I have to check out NXT later today but nobody has thoughts about last night's LU episode? Am I the only one on here who sees that show every week?

Not everybody has the El Rey Network.

Well it's still ironic that this thread is mostly just a wwe thread

Well it's still ironic that this thread is mostly just a wwe thread

It's because the WWE is the most known in the USA. It's like the NFL, NBA, NHL, UFC and Major League Baseball. We are not going to have threads talking about the CFL, D-League, the Russian KHL or Minor League Baseball.

Nor do we talk about Bellator in the UFC thread.

I gotta say, this belt looks good on him.



The full gallery is here. It's funny/sad that this is as close as some of these guys will get to having a championship.

EDIT: Haha nite-owl beat me to it.

 

[runawayboulder]

God I miss that Winged Eagle belt....

 

[nite-owl]

TNA's offices everybody.

 

[X Knight]

so what's the deal with Bray's injury? is it serious?

I hope not, cuz he's just starting to get a face push.

[Warhammer]

Wow, hopefully Bray Wyatt isn't out for long. Just when he became a tweener and got face pops from the crowd of course. WWE needs to bring back the brand split, take an off season, or reduce the live events. This s*** is getting ridiculous.

TNA's offices everybody.

 

[OctaviusINC]

TNA's offices everybody.

You ever see Dixie Carter inside?

Spoiler

 

[runawayboulder]

F*** a brand split. Just reduce the schedule.

Balls was watching Jeopardiy with his wife and had a brain aneurysm......

That's terrible.

I think that covers most of it.

I'm thinking about going to the Field of Honor, but on the fence without having an actual card announced yet.

I have to check out NXT later today but nobody has thoughts about last night's LU episode? Am I the only one on here who sees that show every week?

I'm going to watch it tonight. I post very infrequently nowadays (due to a busy schedule), but LU is still the top program on US TV for me.

I still think Dillinger is severely underrated. Dillinger gets a better pop than some of the NXT main eventers.

Dillinger has always been great, and the Ten gimmick is really perfect. I've been saying for a while now that NXT needs a mid-tier championship, maybe the TV championship, where it has the FCW 15 rule. NXT has lately been in a pattern since Takeover Dallas, now things are moving forward, but a lot of guys could use direction.

 

[Dr. Evil]

In terms of Wrestling programs, LU is my top program.

It's not even in my top ten of regular TV programs though.

 

[Pink Ranger]

It's weird, when you think about Raw, Smackdown, NXT and the PPVs, I watch more WWE content per month on average than anything else: hockey, news, superhero movies, what have you.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I have actually watched more MCU content (all of the movies and TV shows) than the WWE over the last few years.

 

[TheCommissioner]

that is fantastic
