They probably will I am interested to see what they do with NXT but not hoping for much

I really do think bringing weight classes into wrestling could help so many of these weird situations that develop around supposed midgets or whatever

I'd disagree that UFC does too many shows. If you look at the fight nights as their raw/dynamite and the numbered shows as the supercards then it makes a lot more sense. I think the smaller shows have been doing a good job of making possible stars lately- think Chimaev & Holland could have been breakouts recently if not for covid & Holland's brain fart in his last fight Not sure what that makes the contender series though- worldwide?

Takeover New Orleans was the death of NXT even if it didnt seem like it at the time necessarily. Two Meltzer 5*s and then as said upthread it just ends up repeating itself forever as a super-indy Funny that it ended up exposing HHH as a mark for Meltzer and ruined his chances of ever taking over really, even in the moment that seemed like a great achievement.

Give dustin a king of the road redux vs moxley please

I would take the time to watch the last couple of months of Corbin's backstage stuff for WWE if you haven't already Their overlong tv shows can be really dull but he's been honestly great for at least 3 months now if not more

Man i would definitely watch Embry vs Omega

NXT Uk is doing a world of sport style tournament with three minute rounds Ashton carter v kenny williams not bad Terrible music on this show as always

This is the most interesting thing to happen on Raw all year

Just get rid of raw its shit anyway

If we were in the territory days the likes of Janela, Spears, Hager would have already moved on Its an interesting time really, i guess we get to find out how ruthless AEW are. If sentiment starts to get involved it might cause them some issues

So reading between the lines Sasha either picked up a knock or tested positive for the rona 8/9 days ago. The company's so insular that rather than just coming out and saying it, as UFC/AEW have done, they then misrepresent the show for another week, im guessing waiting for either a decent doctors result or a negative test? Neither would happen, everyone knows it Why not just have the replacement fight Belair, Belair wins, Becky comes out afterward? The booking is so fucking poor and backwards it beggars belief

Its a good point really, the only time he's ever been interesting as a character is when he's been downtrodden and moaning Never really thought about it that way

Sounds like she tested positive to me

Is Rampage on UK tv or do i need to download it Sorry for treating this thread like Google

People think its a good gimmick? On the odd time either have been on while I've watched its an instant fast-forward Apart from maybe that psychedelic John Cena flashback match

ONE Championship is undergoing a big push at the US Market, are trying to sign Stipe, and just had their ruleset approved in Colorado https://combatsportslaw.com/2021/07/22/one-championship-and-knees-to-grounded-opponents-coming-to-colorado/ Quite clear that they don't test in the same way as USADA rules if you take a close look at the Asian cards So that would be my bet

Well that's pretty embarrassing isn't it If they let Keith Lee go it seems like maybe the worst waste of charisma I've saw in a while. I know he's not the standard WWE shape etc but he's definitely got "it," I think, but he must want to go. He sounds depressed

Flair's legends deal ran out in May I believe?

Just been watching Bad Luck Corbin segments on twitter. He's doing so well with it

Here's hoping AEW snatch up WALTER next. Danielson ultimately the biggest talent to turn up anywhere these days, so if he has signed it's by far the most substantial moment in this nascent promotional war. The only problem with is it is that he will overshadow a big chunk of the roster without even trying Really hope Punk doesn't come in tbh

I don't necessarily think losing in UFC is a big issue in theory, but it's the manner in which Punk lost that makes me think it damaged him a lot But whatever, I'm an old man anyway

If they hadn't ran NXT into the ground over the last 3 years with terrible booking and terrible champions they might have stood a chance What does NXT stand for anyway, is it an acronym or just a dated name

I'm pretty surprised no-one has stepped in from the network at this point and told them they need a new director for Raw. Got to be one of the worst presented shows on television and is as much of a hindrance as the writing & length. When the dust settles the Kevin Dunn infatuation will have a lot to answer for I tjink

All for Bryan coming in but I hope the Punk rumours are just rumours. I get why they'd do it but it's just another boring old face from the past. The UFC failures have added additional baggage, too. Dull character.
