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

[Bat Brain]

Is Eric Young someone to look forward to watching? I've never seen any of his stuff.

 

[Warhammer]

I like that WWE is doing exactly what TNA has done but better. "We'll take your older stars but actually give them an upgrade."

He's solid. Never been a fan though.

Bray Wyatt and the Green Ranger

I'm amazed Bray can fit in this photo with Jason and his ego.

He's a good crazy heel but also works as a comedy face

Can work pretty much any style of match, is very experienced

Hopefully they don't take away his piledriver

NXT Thoughts..

-Eva Marie hasn't improved for ****, Asuka should have kicked her face a bunch of times. Match was too long and Eva had too much offense against the champ!

-Joe title win footage,social media going crazy and first interview!

-Those jobbers against Revival sure jobbed but they managed to get some pops, Alright Revival promo.

-Decent tag match between Hype Fools and Blake & Murphy.

-Carmella has mproved nicely..but still needs some work, nice submission though

-Nakamura action!

 

[Dr. Evil]

So is Eric Young signed to NXT or is it a James Storm like run?

 

[Dr. Evil]

Well, the Kurt Angle one is interesting...

NXT spoilers (May 4th, 11th and 18th):

Spoiler

WWE NXT TV spoilers from tonight's tapings at Full Sail University:

May 4th Episode:

* New NXT Champion Samoa Joe opens with a promo in the ring. Joe says it's a new era and he runs things. Eric Young interrupts to a huge pop. Young says everyone knows him and the only thing that's guaranteed is he brings change. Joe leaves after a staredown and says he doesn't belong in the same ring and next time he's in it he's going to beat EY's ass

* Nia Jax squashed Tessa Blanchard

* Austin Aries defeated Tye Dillinger with a 450

* Joe vs. EY is announced for later

* Dash and Dawson defeated Zack Ryder and Mojo Rawley

* No Way Jose defeated Noah Kekoah. Jose made referee Drake Younger dance after the match to a big pop

* Samoa Joe defeated Eric Young in a stiff match, after a Musclebuster and a choke. Joe didn't release the hold until well after the match. The crowd didn't care for much of this match but it was good

May 11th Episode:

* Finn Balor opens the show with a promo but is interrupted by Elias Samson. Samson gets Eva Marie levels of heat as he sings a song he wrote for Balor. Samson says Balor is nothing without the NXT Title. Finn hits a pele kick, throws Samson out of the ring and then tosses the guitar at him but he caught it

* NXT Tag Team Champions Chad Gable and Jason Jordan defeated John Skyler and Corey Hollis. The Revival watched from the ramp and walked down to ringside to taunt American Alpha after the match

* Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Alex Riley with the Kinsasha. The crowd exploded for Nakamura's Full Sail debut and the chants continued for him after he left before the next match

* Alexa Bliss defeated Rachael Ellering in a quick squash. Ellering is daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Paul Ellering

* Finn Balor aggressively defeated Elias Samson. After the match, Balor cut a promo and said he wants his rematch. He's obsessed with being NXT Champion but now he's possessed, like a Demon, who wants what belongs to him. Joe comes out but NXT General Manager William Regal stops a brawl and announces Balor vs. Joe for Takeover on June 8th. Balor jumps over Regal and takes Joe out

* NXT Women's Champion Asuka defeated Adrienne Reese with the Asuka Lock. A good match and great debut for the former Athena

May 18th Episode:

* Austin Aries and Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Blake and Murphy with Alexa Bliss. Aries wanted the tag but Nakamura refused and hit the Kinsasha for the win. A good tease of a feud between the two. After the match, Bliss walked away from Blake and Murphy, then Blake walked away from Murphy

* Carmella defeated Peyton Royce

* Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa defeated Danny Birch and Rob Ryzin in a good stiff match

* Nia Jax defeated Bayley and dominated the match. Crowd died for this one. Bayley hit a hurricanrana off the apron to get the crowd back into the match. Nia missed a charge in the corner and got the ring post, then locked in the guillotine choke. Nia lifted her up for a suplex, but Bayley reversed and appeared to blow her knee out. Not a legit injury, as Nia crushed her in the corner & worked over her leg. Nia destroyed Bayley and pinned her. This was a long match that just didn't work with the crowd. Bayley sold that she couldn't put any weight on her leg and was helped to the back

* NXT Tag Team Champions American Alpha defeated The Revival in the main event, which may have been a non-title match. Gable and Jordan won with stereo ankle locks

[Wylie Times]

It's kind of odd that WWE has never thought to release a Booker T DVD. They have almost his entire library of matches outside of his forgettable stint in TNA. They're giving freaking Sheamus a DVD and at no point has he been as over as Booker was at his peak.

The only downside to a Booker T DVD is that they'd probably leave off the Best of seven series he had with Benoit.

 

[S. Grundy]

He's got a fat guaranteed contract, and doesn't have to worry about injuring himself working a ridiculous schedule, plus gets to be with his kids more. I think he's feeling pretty good about where he's at.

How much is that contract going to be worth if the company goes under? Hasn't TNA had problems in the past with paying their talent on time?

If this gets made, I hope they add the house show Iron match Bret Hart and Owen Hart had years ago. That match is too good to not be on a DVD in Blu-Ray quality. The match should still be on YouTube for anyone that wants to see it but the video quality leaves a lot to be desired

there's been thought... trust me

has a decent likelihood of happening compared to some but dont think it will

 

[cabel]

I just noticed something. Almost every world champion in TNA's history is no longer with the promotion, with almost all of them save two or three working with WWE in some capacity. The only ones still there are Lashley, Storm, Abyss, the Hardys, EC3, and of course Galloway.

 

[The Batman]

Those Undertaker and Kurt Angle DVD's need to become a reality.

 

[killface]

http://whatculture.com/wwe/bayley-injured-at-wwe-nxt-tv-tapings

Looks like Bayley's on the injured list.

 

[TX85]

I want that Undertaker documentary!!!

 

[Pink Ranger]

http://whatculture.com/wwe/bayley-injured-at-wwe-nxt-tv-tapings

Looks like Bayley's on the injured list.

That totally sucks, and I hope she recovers. However, assuming she does recover, it could actually be better for her to be completely off the radar for a few months, then debut straight on the main roster, to make for a holy **** live crowd moment.

 

[OctaviusINC]

Fans in attendance said she worked with the supposed injury and Nia Jax even worked it. So I'm really hoping it's kayfabe.
