Without the Wrestling Thread, There Is...No...You! - - Part 187

Checking out the WWNlive show from Bejing. Kinda perplexing seeing an FIP title match in a 10,000 seat arena.

I also think that Wesley Blake/Buddy Murphy need a team name... I really like this team but I hate when tag teams don't have a name.

The Blake Buds

The leyMurs

The Wes Murphis two

Those guys

The team with no name

 

[NDX]

A blurry first look at NXT's Shoot Nation:

Stable consist of Chad Gable, Angelo Dawkins, Jason Jordan, Tucker Knight, and Sawyer Fulton.

Apparently they are looking to be a heel faction that are entitled because they have "real" wrestling accomplishments and aren't just trying to live out their dream... Totally Paraphrasing there

They all just look so generic. Perfect!

Winner winner!

Vince thinks putting himself on tv more will boost subscribers...

I almost want to cancel my subscription just when he shows up to advertise it further down our throats. I'll get it again once his limo blows up again.

Oh of course, Just telling you how you can get it for cheap...In case you don't feel like buying an expensive set lol.

Truth is I still haven't bothered with the Sting set yet.

Been thinking about this. What exactly does Bray Wyatt accomplish with his feuds? They pop up out of nowhere and then kinda fizzle out, and he goes to someone new. It all feels pretty listless.

It's also ridiculous that the Wyatts never held any gold, Harper and Rowan should have at least had the tag titles for at least month during their feud with the Usos. Not to mention, Bray probably should have had a run with the U.S. or IC belt, hell they probably should have stuck him in a feud with Ziggler instead of Ambrose.

But these are all things other people have probably already griped about.

Is Jason Jordan any good? He has a sports background and a very good look that Vince and Trips salivate over.

 

[cabel]

Just read that Yoshi Tatsu's out of the tag league with a neck injury.

I thought it was a terrible idea to break up Rowan and Harper so soon. They could have been tag division beasts and held several wins over the Uso's in non title matches. Breaking them away from Bray Wyatt is fine but putting them at odds with each other was too soon.

It just shows how desperate WWE is for singles stars right now. The Survivor Series lineups are horrible, especially the main event. This is the first PPV I won't be watching in a few years.

- As noted, WWE will be extending the recent WWE Network documentary on The Shield into a DVD and Blu-ray next year. WrestlingDVDNews.com reports that WWE is planning on releasing more Network specials on home video early next year.

- There's been some talk of having Finn Balor and Hideo Itami make a run at the NXT Tag Team Titles before having singles runs in NXT. There's still no word on their main roster call-ups but it was believed when Balor signed with WWE that one of his requests was that he not stay in developmental for too long.

When the two black guys get called up to the main roster, both will be given rapper gimmicks because Vince and Dunn think it's cool.

It drives me nuts to see where Vince and Dunn's priorities with the women's division are:

Even if they have Total Divas to promote, why not build the actual divas title picture around the divas that can wrestle and book them with each other on a regular basis.

Why keep Emma, Paige, Nattie, AJ,and Naomi away from each other as a whole and when two of them are together, they get marginalized with booking faux pas?

The divas division could have hit a stride by now if we were seeing well developed feuds and a emphasized set of matches between Paige vs Emma, Emma vs Natalya, Naomi vs Natalya, AJ vs Natalya, AJ vs Emma, a better version of AJ vs Paige and any other mixture of these figures. Maybe even mix in Summer Rae. If they would have done that then the division would have way more buzz than anything Total Divas has done for the division and when future callups like Charlotte, Bayley, Alexa Bliss, Becky, and Sasha come in then they can just build on that buzz....

I know Kevin Dunn is an accent hating ******* but hurting the careers of performers because of irrational and illogical hangups just hurts the f-cking company plain and simple.

They need give audiences reasons to care about THE WHOLE SHOW or atleast 85% of it rather than what they WANT us to care about.

 

[sweetre15]

I hear Chad Gable is rather good on the mic even though NXT crowds give a hard time because he's perceived as a Kurt Angle doppleganger.

 

[Dr. Evil]

This guy should headline any WWE Hall of Fame Class, hopefully the next one:

But if for some reason, we don't see him there, I think the WWE Hall of Fame will get ready to say "It's Showtime Folks!"

 

[Dr. Evil]

Am I the only one who thinks that an RKO is coming for one of Team Authority tomorrow?

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Am I the only one who thinks that an RKO is coming for one of Team Authority tomorrow?

Maybe he'll cost the Authority the match. I doubt he'll be added to the team.

So TNA is going for a rebooted product upon debuting on a new network. Ok, I'll bite. I won't lie, I've always rooted for TNA in hopes that they could deliver a solid alternative product and they have let me down time after time after time, settling for being WWE lite or WWE trapped in a time warp if you will. Granted, I've often said that I would have rather seen ROH with TNA's television deal and the money of Panda Energy behind it with ROH officials in control, but thats neither her now there. So what would I do....

One, I'll state that I look at the NXT roster and I see a bunch of guys TNA should have signed when they had the chance. Nevill(PAC), Steen, Kenta, Devitt, Sami Zayn, etc would have all been TNA talent had I been in charge instead of WWE rejects and cast offs. The WWE has wisely signed up all these talents, so we cannot go back in time.

First off, make some signings. Two younger indy talents TNA should sign and push are Uhaa Nation and Kyle O'Reilly. Both are fantastic young talents that would give a unique element to TNA and are ready for the green light. Push Nation as a guy to break the barrier of African Americans in wrestling to the TNA World title and O'Reilly as the bad ass MMA hybrid chasing the X-Division title. The third major signing, despite my anti-WWE comments a second ago is Alberto Del Rio. I've always liked ADR, he is fantastically bad ass in the ring and has a great story behind him right now. I'd immediatly place the X-Division title on ADR.

I've always disagreed with TNA eliminating so many PPV's as they brought in income from buy rates. I'd bring those back if I could, so lets say we either bring more PPV's back or start running specials like NXT. The first "PPV/Special" needs to be headlined by Roode/Lashley 3. Finish up that rivalry. And make it special. I don't think Lashley has the gas for a 60 minute Ironman match, so book a 30 minute Ironman match and trust Roode to carry Lashley through it cardiovascularly. Roode wins. On that show, ADR defeats Low Ki for the X title as well, Angle defeating MVP, the debut of Nation/O'Reilly, and showcase moments for guys like Aries, Storm, EY, Magnus the Hardy's, etc.

Moving on from there, Roode can continue to defend the title against the likes of Aries, Magnus, and so on. Give Roode a nice title run that eventually leads to a show down with EC3 upon his return. I dig EC3 and I actually think his flaws make him a better heel because he plays into them. In time, I want EC3 to take the title from Roode as the top heel in the company. With the X title, I envision a physical smash mouth feud between ADR and a returning Samoa Joe being a big part of television for awhile. Feud Storm and Abyss with EY and Spud for the tag titles until the Wolves are set for a return, build your newer talent for awhile and let things take shape.

Build for BFG 15 with EC3 as your top heel taking on the face you want to build the company around, ADR/O'Reilly for the X title, and Angle putting over a younger guy off the top of my head!!!

- A source within told Wrestling Inc that the reason the "A New Day" faction featuring Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston and Big E was due to both the Ferguson, Missouri situation being all over the news, as well as Alberto Del Rio's controversial exit from the company. WWE felt as if having something that could be construed as a racially motivated story line was inappropriate and wasn't in anyone's best interest at the time.

The source also stated that there was "more than meets the eye" to the recent vignettes, but refused to elaborate further.

I have a feeling that this is going to go horribly wrong. Like it'll be intended to be something really positive, but they end up doing something really offensive without realizing it. This is the same company that had a group of Mexican guys come out riding a lawnmower.
