THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!
- Thread starter ArsenalCannon357

Sells better than most of today's crop of wrestling talent.
Lolz remember a few months ago cats in here were talking about Jay White and how his signing by WWE or AEW would be a game changer....
Well, has he changed the game in AEW? Haven't heard a peep regarding him in weeks and then AEW brought in Roderick Strong that basically took away any buzz White should have had.
Is White in any feuds yet?

I haven't watched RAW yet, what happened?
I didn't watch.
I'm saying....I'm just waiting to see the Jay White wrestling explosion we were made to believe would happen, since he's the greatest heel in the business today.The fcuk?!?! What're you going down memory lane?!?!
Is he still wrestling the likes of Komander and Shawn Spears?
That's good shit, pal.
It's been a peaceful two weeks and I intend to maintain that peace.
Looks like Lio Rush has got his act together and has gotten over in New Japan. He's had a good run and the Japanese fans love him.
Is White engaged in any feuds that would be deserving of the best heel in the business?
Mandy and PVZ in a collab project. Hopefully it's something involving a shower.
He's currently in a feud with Ricky Starks. They wrestle each other tomorrow on Dynamite.
If it's a wrestling match I'm gonna be upset lol
Mandy ain’t really bout them onlyfans life
Mandy be teasing and showing glimpses…Paige be busting it open
Mandy came along at the wrong time
15-20 years back she would’ve been in playboy and be Mabel status
Now playboy played out, the WWE is pg and teasing online will only get you so far
Either she’ll have to step it up or her fans will lose interest. She’d come back to the E, but not sure they would have her.
She can always go to Impact and wrestle Trinity.
So how do you explain Shinsuke? Huge star in NJPW hasn't done a whole lot during his time in WWE, but still gets a huge pop when his music hits?
He made a name for himself in the US wrestling in NXT before jumping to the main roster
I was including his NXT run when I said WWE. He had A title run in NXT if I am not mistaken. He wasn't in NXT for long. His time in RAW and SmackDown he got a Royal Rumble win and I think 2 IC runs, yet he gets a pop. I would argue that a lot of that comes from his time in NJPW
Nah. I see it coming off his NXT run and the way he was pushed and promoted.
American (WWE) wrestling audiences aren't checking for NJPW like that. He wasn't widely known by WWE wrestling fans prior to coming to the states.
I kind of disagree with this narrative. I think a lot of the IWC tend to short sell or put the WWE audience in this box as this clueless bunch of sports entertainment casuals who only know what Vince tells them. I think the majority, while not able to cite every NJPW or indie match, are very much informed. Look at the reactions when Kana (Asuaka), Nakamura and AJ Styles showed up.
I disagree.
WWE audiences lean more towards families and children. Look at the crowds attending WWE shows versus Impact or AEW shows, you'll see way more children and families at WWE events where as in AEW, it's mostly adult neckbeard wrestling
Kids attending WWE shows aren't keeping up with Japanese Wrestlers in a Japanese promotion.
Asuka and Nakamura both built their North American career in NXT, and had some familiarity when they moved up to the main roster.
Styles made a name in Impact/TNA.
Agreed.
My son is a WWE fan and I know he couldn't name one Japanese wrestler.
He does know wrestlers from AEW and even some in Impact (former WWE talent), however, from watching YouTube.
The Japanese stuff is so niche and only appeals to a relatively small wrestling audience and even smaller general audience.
LOL, all the Japanese marks were shitting on WWE for not signing Jay White, meanwhile he's already been cast off to TK's toy chest where he'll soon be doing jobs to Pockets on Rampage.
I was expecting to see White come to AEW and be on some mega heel shit targeting and taking out everyone and/or getting real heel heat.LOL, all the Japanese marks were shitting on WWE for not signing Jay White, meanwhile he's already been cast off to TK's toy chest where he'll soon be doing jobs to Pockets on Rampage.
But nah, he's wrestling Komander, Spears and Starks.
No shade against Starks, but he isn't someone a mega heel should be wasting time on.
I included NXT when I made my earlier statement. Granted that crowd tends to be more knowledgeable, but it's still WWE and they both got great responses on their debuts. I think a nice mix of smarks and casuals make up their core audience. I saw a post someone on Reddit made about how they were surprised by the crowd response at Backlash to Iyo Sky. They didn't think the crowd would know who she was.
Iyo's work helped get her over with the Backlash crowd, but I think the crowd originally was rooting more so against Bianca than they were for Iyo, though. Again, she was in NXT prior.I included NXT when I made my earlier statement. Granted that crowd tends to be more knowledgeable, but it's still WWE and they both got great responses on their debuts.

Who was the last Japanese wrestler to jump over to the WWE (main roster) to receive a significant response? Taka Michinoku?
