Maybe that's why it's a boneyard match. 33 minutes ago, Tim Evans said: NXT using Sam Roberts on commentary is making me wish Mauro was back. HHH knows the end times are here. I'm not watching. Why is GOAT Mauro not on the show? No matter what you may think of the resplendent Ranallo, in no universe is the annoying, rat-like Sam Roberts an adequate substitute.
April 2, 20205 yr comment_5913390 His boy Frank Shamrock posted a video of Mauro supporting other bipolar folks on his Twitter the other day, it appears that he's strictly following the self isolation procedure.
April 2, 20205 yr comment_5913394 Also doesn't he live in Canada? Probably couldn't get to Connecticut. Watching tonight's NXT and man no show is hurt more by empty arenas than NXT. For as bad as the FS crowd can be, they add so much to the shows.
April 2, 20205 yr comment_5913402 Can't believe NXT is going to try to make Samuel Shaw...er Dexter Lumis.... a thing. I did chuckle for his theme being a not-even-trying-to-hide ripoff of the Stranger Things theme.

Triple H has said that Roman is going to be written out of the main event in a very "creative" way. Really hoping his cancer does not become a part of the storyline again.

I did chuckle for his theme being a not-even-trying-to-hide ripoff of the Stranger Things theme. Is this the Dexter like Dexter from the Showtime series wrestler? And they named him "Dexter"? Its like having a wrestler who solves mysteries and calling him Sherlock. Or a boxer-turned-wrestle gimmick with the name Sly Balboa. Actually, no, Sly Balboa is an objectively great name and considerably better than Dexter Lumis.
April 3, 20205 yr comment_5913465 Didn't see the full match but Lumis doing that awkward slide out of the ring just for a shitty punch spot was hilarious. His look kind of gives me Heidenreich vibes. I wonder if Jake Atlas is second guessing his career choices.

I hope they just do an exact shot for shot copy of the "who shoved a bunch of random pipes and boxes on Roman?!?!" angle from last year

From the molester mustache, ,to the tattoos that look like they're covering up something bad to the point his one arm looks like a redacted FOIA request, to the "just came back from a rally that involved tiki torches" haircut, he's like someone just made a Frankenstein of creepy parts with no idea what to do with it.
April 3, 20205 yr comment_5913475 They should put an angle together where Roman is Poochie. Braun and Goldberg standing in the centre of the ring watching him float off back to his home planet. Instead, it'll be some shitty injury angle that nobody buys because they know the truth.

Apparently the "creative way" was just to have Cole announce the new match. Totally worth all the false advertising (which is actually relevant since they're pushing this as PPV for the first time since the Network launched).
April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913480 They false advertised the rectification of their false advertising?

April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913482 Okay I admit I am not really paying attention but did they change the match by just showing Braun against Goldberg now and that was it?

If this under the "plan changed" department, I guess I admire him for doing it in a story line way. I mean given how weird it has been maybe they did do something in the tapings and said fuck it don't show it Also getting from tonight that Miz isn't getting punished for coming into work sick and causing Reigns to flip out.

I mean he know fucking knows maybe they did do something in the tapings and said fuck it don't show it True, but if that's what happened it makes Hunter look like a pretty big doofus for promising a creative way out and then delivering nothing. A non sociopath-run company would have taken a moment to ponder one of their top executives promised something so maybe we probably shouldn't come off looking like we don't give a fuck about that.
April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913486 Having the Cenabot 5000 be the go home segment for CovidMania is certainly the most on-brand WWE thing to do at the moment.
April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913487 If I had to guess, I have a feeling that the "truth" guy to expose the whole Mandy/Otis/Dolph thing was Mustafa Ali
April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913491 A couple of exchanges from Nakamura and Bryan were dope as fuck. That is all.

As far as that story goes, I certainly didn't expect WWE to have Sonya be the heel whenever they'd decide to break them up. But considering how well people have reacted to the Otis/Mandy angle, that was the right way to go.
April 4, 20205 yr comment_5913522 While I do enjoy the Otis/Mandy program the Sonya text reveal should've been the perfect way of including the lesbian storyline they was so desperately trying to go for instead of the hot garbage that was Lana/ Liv Morgan. It would've made perfect sense and kept Dolph off tv for a good bit.
