Shotzi and Darby Allin are both going end up paralyzed if they don’t stop their recklessness when selling moves.
G1 Blocks A Block: SANADA, Shota Umino, Ren Narita, Yota Tsuji, Hikuleo, Chase Owens, Gabriel Kidd, Kaito Kiyomiya B Block: Kazuchika Okada, YOSHI-HASHI, Tanga Loa, El Phantasmo, Taichi, Will Ospreay, Great-O-Khan, KENTA C Block: Tama Tonga, Tomohiro Ishii, Shingo Takagi, Mikey Nicholls, Aaron Henare, Eddie Kingston, David Finlay, EVIL D Block: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hirooki Goto, Toru Yano, Tetsuya Naito, Zack Sabre Jr., Shane Haste, Jeff Cobb, Alex Coughlin Eddie vs Shingo is literally the best thing I’ve ever
Interesting that Shooter, Naruto, Tsugi, and Kaito are all in A block against Sanada. Makes me think they will have one of them best Sanada to win that block. Going to be one hell of a showcase block for the future of Japanese wrestling. Okada vs. Ospreay in B block
Oh shit Alex Shelley won the Impact title last night! And Chris Sabin won the C Division title. MCMG running Impact
So Bianca is going to turn and we’re supposed to boo her because, checks notes, she got angry she got screwed over by a returning Charlotte getting her title shot?
There’s probably not room and they’d never do it because of its history, but ROH needs to be their NXT. The problem is that there’s too much talent that needs time already, and adding established ROH talent to and already over saturated roster would be horrible.
People love rumors on the internet but nothing on TV suggests that Bianca is turning heel. And pairing her with a selfish, arrogant character like Charlotte would put her in a pure baby face role.
Her character got stale as an ultra baby face, so maybe it’s the same wishful thinking that never happened with Cena and took a decade to happen with Roman. I’d be ok with her and Tez becoming a heel couple and if the Profits turn heel that’s fine too
TK turning ROH into NXT is the good business decision. You can only develop so many talents with zero name recognition on Dynamite before people get annoyed. I know AEW early on paid its talent per appearance vs a fully locked in deal. I'm curious how many wrestlers are on long term exclusive deals. Obviously the huge draws are but lower down the card are the guys in dark order locked into long term deals?
She was a fantastic heel in NXT. I do agree with you that her character is stale right now. She's also been given no real storyline since winning the title and that doesn't help. I know if Vince had the book we would be looking at 10 more years of this current character. Let's see what Trips ultimately does. I'm not arguing for her to stay in this role. Just a heel turn might not be happing just yet given she's about to enter in a program/story with a Asuka (heel champion) and Charlotte (heel)
Exclusive? None are "exclusive" as far as I know because they can all work elsewhere like New Japan, DDT, TJPW, indies, etc. But if they are on the AEW website roster they are signed to full-time, non-per-appearance, deals.
How many fans actually want more WWE? Half of their RAW viewership doesn’t even watch NXT as it is when it’s in a prime time weekday slot.
Bandido reportedly done with AAA and Rush now is too. Guess that frees them up to be able to potentially work Forbidden Door now.
This is pretty much the entire women's division outside of maybe Becky and the eventual Iyo turn (which the fans are ready for), and they didn't even give Becky a proper payoff with the Damage Ctrl angle. Rhea has basically no storylines going on with the women's division. I assume Becky vs. Rhea is the eventual plan but are they gonna do the Trish/Becky feud all the way to SummerSlam? Then if they have nothing for the women, it's welp into a random tag team you go.
I know it was MSG but certainly one of the moments where the crowd was not feeling super babyfaces by booing Shawn. Shawn/Sid was a solid rivalry.
She got excommunicated from the church for intentionally lighting a kid on fire in church and laughing about it what the fuck
that plus Sid’s raw physical charisma and aura won over damn near every crowd he performed in front of. There’s a reason people were cheering for him and booing Hogan at the Rumble in 92. Plus he went to ECW in front of a crowd of smart marks who stuck their nose up at WWF and WCW and had them going apeshit for him like he was the upgraded version of 911
with Punk producing underwhelming ticket sales for Collision, they had to call in a real superstar to move numbers in the right direction
