June 18, 20205 yr Author comment_5920719 Those Thatcher vignette's are very interesting. He has some of that Finlay energy.
June 18, 20205 yr Author comment_5920756 Holy shit, Shotzi is so ready to carry all the belts. She was shining out there.
June 18, 20205 yr Author comment_5920768 bayley feels like a totally different person nowadays (which is a good thing)
June 18, 20205 yr comment_5920769 Watching NXT now and I noticed Bayley's plate on the women's tag belts is her old "hugger" logo. The SD women's title has her new one. They probably just reused it from the last time she had the tag belts but it's funny to me that's something they never bothered to change.
June 18, 20205 yr comment_5920770 Lorcan/Burch vs the big Indian dudes sounds like it could be a fun time.
June 18, 20205 yr comment_5920776 Are the big Indian dudes worth getting excited for. It's nice to not have my country represented by Jinder Mahal anymore, but I had never heard of these guys before they showed on NXT. Although I try not to get excited about anyone in WWE cuz it never ends well.

Although I try not to get excited about anyone in WWE cuz it never ends well. They are managed by Bivens and are pretty fucking fast for their size, resulting in insane slams and clashes. So, BIG MEN SLAPPING MEAT, which is good.
June 18, 20205 yr comment_5920804 Also Rinku used to pitch in the minor leagues for my Pirates so I'm a big fan just for that alone. but yeah, they give off a real Samoan Swat Team vibe where they look like they could kill you if they felt the inclination which is a thing I didn't realize I missed in wrestling.
June 18, 20205 yr comment_5920805 I've seen them maybe twice (including once where they sadly squash my boys Ever-Rise) but we're far from the prototypical disasters like the Great Khali. Like @sek69 said, there's a SST feel to this team that I didn't expect at first and with Malcom Bivens as their manager, sky's the limit for them.
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5920988 So Riddle beating AJ Styles in his debut. Yeah that is going to be interesting given what has happened in the last 24 hours. I am going to assume this was taped on Wednesday when the shit didn't hit the fan and destroyed the fan in a million pieces
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5920990 It was taped last week I believe. I get that it would have been hard to edit out the match from SD since the allegations just came out today. But then they posted a post match interview on youtube and that's just classic WWE.
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5920992 In light of what is going on in the industry, I must admit that I'm still going to watch AJ Styles vs. Matt Riddle.

Not expecting Riddle to suffer from this at all. Also, I struggle to think of any feud more unappealing to me than Braun vs Bray.
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5920999 In other horrifying news that has nothing to do with assault allegations, WWE announced Ric Flair will be on RAW again next week. Because he's the guy you want to add to the covid-palooza that is the PC right now.
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5921000 Dumb things I notice department: when Braun isn't sporting the usual WWE Wet Hair, it looks like he's wearing one of the Viking Raiders' headgear.
June 20, 20205 yr comment_5921030 The week Charlotte was not featured at all anywhere and Sasha and Bayley were all over their 3 shows, there was a marked increase in viewership across the board. I am not saying anything, but I kind of am.

June 22, 20205 yr comment_5921139 Not that I think Charlotte has done any good for NXT's overall ratings because she clearly hasn't, but it was reported a couple weeks ago that her segment was the highest rated segment on this particular episode. I'd have to go back and look but I believe that was also the case in other episodes in May. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2020/06/mike-tyson-aew-segment-loses-viewers-670945/ Also, on the topic of Braun Strowman's appearance, its really amazing how in the 5 years since he debuted as part of the Wyatt Family, the company has really never bothered to update or make his look special at all. Like, say what you will about the various Undertaker designs or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, how simple Big Show's black singlet was, but they were at least iconic (even if Big Show's a reference to Andre). But what about Strowman's look is iconic? Its cargo pants and a tank top. Its almost as lazy as Kevin Owens' gear, but at least Owens' basketball shorts and sleeveless tee-shirt have their roots in him being an indy guy on a shoestring budget.
June 22, 20205 yr comment_5921140 Weird as this might sound, the draw there might be Chelsea Green, who has done surprisingly great numbers every time she has been featured.
