Your Only Meaningful Relationship Is With An Inflatable Wrestling Thread - Part 239

[nite-owl]

First look at Lena Headey as Saraya Knight.

 

[Warhammer]

Yeah, that's 100% Paige in those pics. No doubt about that. I didn't know there was another vid of her with Brad Maddox AND Xavier Woods. That's some freaky s*** right there. Freakzilla himself would be proud.

 

[Dr Lee]

There's a photo involving the NXT Women's Championship that really may cause serious issue with WWE.

I think that might be what does it for her IMHO. I think WWE bosses would probably turn a blind eye to a lot of what was leaked, but to see the belt being used like that... I think she's done, but they'll sideline her until after the movie is released.

I have to wonder if the Xavier stuff might have an impact on New Day being WM hosts. He's going to get a lot of stick in arenas for a little while & I doubt WWE would want the WM segments they do to have that in them.

I think sex acts with the championship belts probably happens more than people would like to admit.

I'm willing to bet numerous men and women wrestlers over the years have probably done stuff with the belts. Ric Flair's titles should probably come with a warning from the world health organisation.

 

[cabel]

Do we know if it is THE belt? It could just be a replica. Considering shes from a wrestling family, it seems hard to believe she would use the actual title.

HBK probably did far worse with the belt during the height of his "issues" in the 90's. And he did pose nude for Playgirl with the title hanging around his "little Shawn."

 

[TheCommissioner]

didn't Woods get married recently?

that's probably an awkward conversation, if it hasn't been had already

Didn't he do that on the cover of a DX VHS too?

 

[TheCommissioner]

strong rumor is that Maddox is the one leaking this stuff

if so, charge his ass

 

[Dr Lee]

in the last year or so IIRC. from what i'm told the stuff released yesterday is about 3 years old, so he should be safe... but it won't be a comfortable time for him both at home and work.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

I dont think its him as a bunch if other celebs are meant to included as well. Its like last time

 

[S. Grundy]

Apparently this stuff was "for sale" about a year ago on the dark web. One of the pictures of Paige popping one of her boobs out has been floating around before this leak as sort of proof.

 

[Loki882]

Celebs like Emma Watson, Zendaya, Victoria Justice, etc have all had their personal accounts hacked as well.

So I think it more likely that Maddox had all of this stuff in HIS account, and that they hacked into that and stole it.

 

[The Apocalypse]

I'm pretty sure that's the case, Loki. He did advertise a while back that he had some stuff regarding her.

I love all these people coming out claiming NXT is going to die. I first started watching WWE developmental back when you had to find it on YouTube and we didn't get two hour specials that always are good shows, and when NXT was still a reality show. As long as WWE needs network content, and WWE fans still have interest in WWE's future performers NXT will exist.

 

[Loki882]

NXT just needs some more focus. They have trouble actually developing talent these days, and their weekly show feels rather superfluous most of the time.

It's not an unfixable situation though.

 

[TheCommissioner]

ya NXT will be fine

I actually think they are starting to right the ship with the newer faces showing up lately, and especially all the new women coming in that have been working recent house shows

 

[famicommander]

NXT isn't going anywhere. It's a way to keep talent away from ROH/NJPW/CMLL/AAA/TNA/LU and it's a way to draw paying customers away from those promotions and to WWE Network. They need content for the Network and they need fans that are paying for ROH PPVs or NJPW World subscriptions to see talent they recognize on WWE's platform.

The quality of the product has nothing to do with its viability. It probably still loses quite a bit of money but it provides a lot of ancillary benefits to WWE.

NXT won't die, it does need to reload it's roster right now. The Womens' Division doesn't have anyone who can replace Asuka when its time for Asuka to come up to the main roster. It could be Ember Moon, but we'll see. Look how long it took for Bayley to come up. Naturally, she could have come up during the WWE Draft as Asuka had already established herself when she beat Bayley at Takeover: Dallas. But she had to finish down in NXT. She got called up because Asuka was already the woman in NXT, replacing her by beating her twice. If they follow the same path with Ember as they did with Asuka last year, we won't see the Empress of Tomorrow on the main roster until after Summerslam. If Asuka loses at Takeover: Orlando, she could say that it was a lucky win for Ember. For Ember to establish herself as the woman in NXT, she will have to beat Asuka clean twice, like Asuka did to Bayley.

She could also do the Kevin Owens thing in which she goes back and forth from NXT to the Main roster for a bit as well.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

So we are at that time of the year when wrestling gets wild as hell.

'The Ultimate Thrill Ride' takes on a whole new meaning

 

[Wheels]

ROH is still going strong. Impact is what is I guess, not too keen on them but what I wouldn't give to have that fandom I had for the company in the early years. Lucha Underground is still a very good show that more people should watch. Now that I actually think about it, ROH is the only company on TV outside of WWE in the U.S. that is actually run pretty well.

 

[venom892]

I'm sure paige and woods will be fine. Rollins had his dick all over the internet and won the wwe title weeks later. Also read Nakamura is going to the Raw brand. I don't think Smackdown has had one Nxt call up since the draft. Now that Joe is on Raw, Nakamura is the better for on Samckdown. PPV matches with AJ, Orton, Cena and Ambrose could be epic. All that awaits him on Raw is putting over Reigns and Strowmann.

Smackdown has never had an NXT Champion on the brand either.

You can count the number of major promotions (read: available nationally and worldwide) that are run well in the entire world on one hand.

WWE
NJPW
CMLL
ROH

That's really it. And even those four have their unique issues. ROH has had a talent drain and some questionable booking lately, CMLL is extremely slow to change in any respect, WWE is still driven by the arbitrary whims of a billionaire family of egomaniacs, NJPW has the biggest culture and language barrier.

Everything else is too small to matter, in complete disarray, or at the very beginning of a rebuild. AAA, TNA, NOAH, AJPW, LU... still tons of questions about their long term viability.

I think the big next one will come from the UK. We just have to see which one takes hold of the top spot. The ITV World of Sport project, ICW, RevPro, ASW, Progress, WCPW... one of them.

 

[TheCommissioner]

I think if LU gets a larger platform, and the Netflix deal is a part of that, they can be better than they already are

Id love if ROH became a viable #2

Impact has had chance after chance after chance and keep frakking it up
