June 17, 20241 yr comment_6022077 Timbo Slice vs. Contractions is the PWO equivalent of Flair vs. Steamboat.
June 17, 20241 yr comment_6022078 Word is WWE wants to establish relationships with promotions in Mexico and Puerto Rico similar to the ones they have with TNA, NOAH, and Marigold. CMLL and AAA are both working with AEW, so what does that leave as far as Mexican promotions? Is IWRG still a thing? Speaking of NOAH, AJ Styles will be facing Naomichi Marufuji at their Budokan event next month. That match obviously won't be nearly as bonkers as it would have been 20 years ago, but it should still be a fun one.
June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022087 I'm gonna have nightmares after seeing the last minutes of Raw tonight. Holy shit.

June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022090 Anyone else think it was weird storyline wise Samantha couldn't be at Raw because Ricochet got murdered by Bron, but was fine enough to fly to Scotland for a PLE?
June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022091 That one dude in Gorilla looked like he had his brains splattered all over the wall. Is Chad Gable dead? Bold way to debut after committing grisly murder.

They never said her absence was due to the Ricochet stuff (even though she was shown in the video package running to Ricochet's side backstage). They simply said she'd be back next week.
June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022095 I will eat my words and concede that Bray Wyatt really was a genius if this gets Bo Dallas over as a main event heel and it doesn't die horribly once he starts actually wrestling. By the way, Uncle Howdy nearly tripped and fell right after his big reveal, so we came dangerously close to another Shockmaster moment. I will also concede that Bray was hamstrung somewhat by the constraints of the PG environment. He would have been much more effective if he had been able to bloody people up rather than terrorize them with puppets.
June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022098 So we debuted by shooting Chad Gable in the head, and murdering the whole production team.... How do we follow that?
June 18, 20241 yr comment_6022099 Hopefully not with something similar to when they did a death angle almost exactly 17 years ago
June 19, 20241 yr comment_6022103 And naturally he's dumped in under a minute! Good showing from Kazarian though. I was just waiting for the painfully obvious "Ethan Page was never eliminated" bit but I guess they're dragging it out.

AAA (Konnan specifically) were giving very strong "come and get me" pleadings to WWE back when dragon Lee signed. I don't think it would take much to get them to jump.
June 22, 20241 yr comment_6022179 They are setting up Roman to come back as a HUGE babyface and it's going to be glorious.
June 22, 20241 yr Author comment_6022180 So Roman back as a babyface and getting the Usos back together, but they need a fourth. Gonna be an amazing Survivor Series. My boy Fatu officially has the rocket strapped to him. Couldn’t be happier for that guy.

Zilla Fatu has been hitting the indies, saw him team with Jacob in MLW and he's clearly a "green but you have something here" guy.
June 22, 20241 yr comment_6022184 It took all of one night for Jacob Fatu to eclipse Solo as the proper lead on that side of the ledger. I don't think it happens given his age and history, but that guy is pure fire. Fingers crossed they don't slow roll Roman's return until Mania.
June 22, 20241 yr comment_6022185 How about this: Hikuleo debuts and joins the Sikoa faction while Zayn and Owens align with Roman to make it 5-on-5. Speaking of Hikuleo, WWE filed a trademark application for the name Talla Tonga, which is actually pretty clever.

It helps that he's the one who most resembles Umaga's wild persona. I like Solo, but in terms of actual experience he has half as much in-ring time as Jacob, so no wonder one is probably going to outshine the other.
