February 22, 20223 yr comment_5975745 I assume Logan is either cheaper or the one willing to do it, I don't think it's a binary choice between Logan or Jake. Say whatever you want about them, but they're better heels than anyone in wrestling, and they seem to understand that. And it's not like he's taking a spot on the card from anyone, if anything he's getting Dom on the card.

I have no problem with celebrities being used - they always have been at WrestleMania - but they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with Logan Paul.
February 22, 20223 yr Author comment_5975748 Jake did mention he was having slurred speech and memory problems, so I think being able to communicate better was the decisive factor to choose Logan. But yeah, I don't think they are mutually exclusive either.

He and Mayweather sold a million ppvs on showtime, its not like they got the hair club for men guy.
February 23, 20223 yr comment_5975778 NXT was another fun show this week. Clearly Vince needs to stop fucking around and put Nikkita Lyons in the main event of Wrestlemania. My goodness. Also Dave noted the other day that he expects most of the remnants from old NXT to get called up after Mania this year. I hope they continue their current plan and have some main roster people drop in occasionally since the pups needs as much work with veterans as possible.

February 23, 20223 yr comment_5975797 Rock putting over the new stars more in one IG post than WWE has done in decades with a thousand hours of TV a week.
February 25, 20223 yr comment_5975913 If you're at all interested in NXT UK, the main event between Bate/Seven and Smith/Carter this week is good.
February 25, 20223 yr comment_5975915 I love that all of wrestling twitter was doing their impression of the "Vince gets progressively more interested" meme when Nikkita Lyons debuted.
February 25, 20223 yr Author comment_5975918 god damn i have no memory of this cesaro/nakamura tag cesaro is THE GOAT tag wrestler, bubbas. I even made a thread about that and it still holds up. I will sorely miss THE BAR.
February 25, 20223 yr comment_5975945 I was hoping NXT 2.0 would mean the end of all that combine shit.
February 25, 20223 yr Author comment_5975963 I don't see much of a problem in those Combine events, at least with stuff like weightlifting or sprints and such. It's not an indicative of how good a wrestler is, but a good wrestler doing ridiculous shit like Bron bench pressing 455lbs, Bianca deadlifting 400lbs or Montez jumping to the goddamn roof is always going to rock. Hell, my first memory of Otis was him bench pressing 225lbs for over 40 reps.
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5975992 WWE has announced that Roman v Brock will be a title unification match at Mania,
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5975997 As much as I would have liked him to test the waters elsewhere, I can't argue Sami Zayn is such a great fit in WWE. He does the style they want so well, and is able to make the usually unfunny comedy stuff work.

February 26, 20223 yr comment_5976008 Post Wrestling reporting Pat McAfee v Vince McMahon is planned for Wrestlemania. Vince will be 77' in August.
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5976009 I guess that was the "Austin level" name coming back for a match.....IT WAS ME ALL ALONG
February 26, 20223 yr Author comment_5976010 That crazy old motherfucker is going to take a table bump
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5976011 It's 2022 and Vince McMahon, Pat McAfee, Steve Austin, Logan Paul and Johnny Knoxville will all be wrestling on the biggest show of the year this is what happens when you have all that guaranteed fuck you money
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5976012 Not to mention while doing promotion for the movie, Johnny Knoxville was totally all "yeah I got a brain hemorrhage while filming it, lol" . So WWE is kind of rolling the dice here.
February 26, 20223 yr comment_5976031 Seems a lot more likely that we get something like Pat McAfee vs Austin Theory w/ Vince, pretty much what the Shane deal might have been. Even if they bill it Vince vs Pat, like Vince comes out at Mania and says I'm injured and can't wrestle so I'm sending my one true son, and Theory's music plays or something.
