hey I even envisioned them doing this Shatter Machine -> RKO move together so it also looks like WWE is reading my mind this is neat
What an awkward start to a promo from Natalya. Just standing staring off into space and then randomly turning into the camera and start talking. Crowd was "what" her from the arena
While it's obviously not everyone's strong suit, I love all the straight up backstage promos throughout the show hey there evil Sasha
I'll take them over 2-3 "talk show" segments every day. Get Natalya out of there in a 30 second promo instead of suffering minutes through the "talk show" Also as to Sasha "Go to hell, and say hi to your dad while you're there". I love heel Sasha
I love Steve Austin....but they've promo his show no less than 20 times tonight it seems. Getting little old
I mean Braun won a tag title with Nicholas, I'd hope he can win one with Seth Rollins. I wonder if this leads to Braun and Seth defending the titles together at night of champions before fighting each other for the universal title later in the night
WWE booking is so bad. You build up OC for like two weeks and then cut bait to put the titles on two guys who don’t need them just so you can have Brain turn on Seth in two weeks. What a fucking joke.
This dude comes off as a legit psycho. I love how dedicated to his character he is and he's just fantastic at it. Really hope he gets some major shine, whether with Impact, AEW, or WWE/NXT. He can be a big deal.
Probably referring to why Sasha Banks changed her hair to blue, which we never got because stupid Michael Cole cut her off.
Here you go, the official announcement. Also, they said to network subs it'll be on the network the next day, which is awesome. Surprised USA agree to that, a lot of people are just going to watch it Thursday and probably AEW live I'd think.
I was out of the country for a few weeks. Been slowly catching up on all the action I've missed and well its time to Let Me In... The Fiend... fucking amazing. His entrance, the bray lantern, just everything... amazing. I like this Roman who dun it. Bryan is so so so good. Fan of the Randy/Revival squad. Kofi watching Woods leg get demolished is a small detail that goes a long way. RAW and Smackdown feel less Vince. Especially last night (rumor was Vince not in the building) and the show felt more intense but also had some technical issues with sound and lighting. I liked the dude who joined the booth as the third. He should replace Cole when Corey returns. I got a good laugh at everyone with the RIP to NXT when 99% of you don't even watch the weekly product. The move to USA is great and the two hours is needed because they have so many unused talents just waiting. I don't worry about Vince or main roster guys coming back that have no fit. Speaking of NXT, Takeover was a B+ show. Given the long run of A and A+ efforts you feel a little let down but still the best wrestling show put on since the last Takeover. Io and Candice was fantastic. Both are gonna be stars. Io entrance is top notch. That match was the best female match since Becky/Charlotte at Evolution. Thought the woman's title match lacked chemistry. I expected a better match. But NXT has done a fantastic job of rebuilding the division. Its now pretty deep. Tag match was fun, triple threat was good. Main event was amazing. Those two can literally fight forever. The storytelling from both men, countering counters, Johnny saying fuck it and getting DQ'd to gain advantage for his style of match. Call backs to matches with Ciampa. It was another classic. Cole is beyond over that dude took some nasty bumps and the crowd just fucking loves him. Smart play from AEW staying in the north east and mid Atlantic for its early TV. You have a ton of dire hard fans in this area who are tuned into the product. I fully expect all TV to sell out. They are a hot brand right now. NXT vs AEW will be great. I will be flipping stations every Wednesday night like the days of Nitro and RAW. This is great for all wrestling fans.
The news release says that the show will still come from Full Sail, I'm curious if they go live each week or if they continue the taped to live style they have been doing. I was really hoping they would go live each week.
They're going live, but I don't believe they're touring to start. Just going to film at Full Sail for now. I think they might have to merge 205 live into NXT to fill the 2 hours. One of the positives NXT has had was being recorded and being able to edit the show for viewing. They also rehearse their matches. Having to go live every week might expose some of the more green performers.
Love the idea that for big events we're going to get 15 hours of live WWE action in a single week. No way will people get tired of that.
WWE is starting to see the mega 4 day weekends aren't drawing all nights. NXT, RAW and Smackdown did not sell out in Toronto this year.
I'm curious to see if they'll keep up with Takeovers on the big 4 weekends, or try and counter AEW for their PPVs. Take it that extra petty step lol Well yeah, they did 4 shows in a row in the same town. Who can afford or even physically/mentally handle that? People were getting tickets to the weekly show for like $5-$15 haha
New weekly show starting on the BTE youtube channel, think it's supposed to be a copy of WWE's table for 3 or the Seinfeld riding in a car with comedians type thing? I enjoyed this episode though.
Ronda with a nasty break of her finger. Warning for gore once you click the link https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/ronda-rousey-nearly-lost-her-finger-on-set-of-foxs-9-1-1-tv-show/
Adults calling someone else stupid in a promo is kinda silly to me though. Might as well call him a doody head. I like Randy though.
Honestly, there has been zero times that Bayley has been on my TV and I haven’t thought that. She is the epitome of mediocre in every aspect
