January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972435 Missed opportunity there in Philly to not have Damien Priest be the dude with the deep voice from Boyz II Men
January 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5972436 Priest's transition to the main roster has been SMOOTH. The feud with Sheamus did wonders to him, so I guess the lesson is to let big dudes beat the shit outta each other and they gonna get over.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972437 On one hand, this split personality gimmick for Damien Priest is kinda dumb.....yet anything is better than that Archer of Infamy nonsense and that silly entrance he had to do for it.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972438 I also don't want to see anyone lose their jobs or anything, but I have no idea why Commander Azeez still exists. It's not even the usual "well duh, he's tall" when OMOS is on the same show as him
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972439 I will say at least the idea of "Commander Azeez" as a gimmick makes me realize I miss when managers would suddenly become military officers like General Skandor Akbar.
January 11, 20223 yr Author comment_5972440 Rollins knocking on Roman's door to the tune of the Shield theme is nice but he has no business being champ ever again.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972450 I definitely didn't expect Doudrop to win that match but I'm ready for this.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972459 Pleased to see Doudrop win that match. Bianca's big retribution should be at Mania, and Doudrop is both a fresh match-up and a better wrestler than Liv. Not sure how it'll work as a heel/heel match though. I suspect Becky will be the defacto face with the crowd, but you don't want to turn her before she faces Bianca again.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972460 Also, I know this is technically last week's TV, but 205 Live is proving to be a very easy, fun watch at the moment. Last week had 3 matches in it's 30 minutes, all of which were enjoyable with even the greenest talent seeming to have some promise. I really enjoyed Jiro/Ru Feng, and the opener between Draco Anthony and Malik Blade was good in a "two green guys at an indy show who'll be really good in 2 years time" way. Weakest match was Nikkita Lyons vs Erica Yan. Yan is clearly very inexperienced, and repeated a flubbed spot awkwardly, but she's very likeable and sold well. Lyons has a great look and did a few bits that looked great, like a slingshot rolled through to a single-leg crab, feels like she'll be a star with some more polish. For a 30 minute rookie show, I thought it was good value.

I watched a ton of 205 Live from last year in the past few weeks, it's a fun show. It's mostly indie vet vs PC recruit, and some of them can get rough, but generally, its a good show. It's also a showcase for a lot of the new people that are gonna show up in NXT. The Grayson Waller thing sort of came out of nowhere, but having watched his stuff on 205 Live, it's, like, oh this dude is good and now I can see why they went with him.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972475 HAHAHAHHA is Brock a babyface now? Doesn't matter, either way he's awesome. This was genuinely fantastic
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972487 God damn, that was a killshot on par with the 1999 Rock/Billy Gunn promo. I don't know how Lashley recovers.
January 11, 20223 yr comment_5972492 Meltzer says one of the planned Mania main events was Seth (as champion) defending against Big E. But since they just did the match on tv last night it might not be going down anymore
January 12, 20223 yr Author comment_5972499 On that note, having Big E lose CLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN as a whistle to Rollins fucking sucked. No reason to have Rollins lose, as he is going to challenge Roman for the belt, and no reason to have Big E lose, as cooling him down is fucking stupid. Give us a fuck finish, it is one of the rare occasions where it was the better options.

Brock Lesnar in Philly, doing a knock-knock jokes!? is all kinds of meta levels coming from Paul E. himself. Yes, he’d still be Minnesota, but now I’m envisioning young Brock in a 911 role kicking ass in ECW Arena, then stopping to cut that knock-knock joke promo on a faceless jobber he’s about to F5 into oblivion!
January 12, 20223 yr comment_5972514 Holy shit @ Imperium basically cutting a "Work Sets You Free" promo. I guess it was only a matter of time...
January 12, 20223 yr comment_5972517 Aaaaah, WWE - where you can get hit in the skull with a crowbar and not bleed. And then in the face!
January 12, 20223 yr Author comment_5972519 Persia. Respectfully. Also, Although I enjoyed Mei Ying, Wendy Choo is a better gimmick
