THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

[gdatruth]

That's one of the downsides of having so much character development with Indy's time in NXT along with having it carry over to Raw. Her thing with Dexter had so much going on with them featured between what in The Way , and Dexter's individual matches and character given how popular her was. Indy can't be in super short segments where nothing dramatic happens on Raw. She requires more involvement than just saying, "Hey look, there's Indy". And the newer women with more interesting characters in NXT are having great matches weekly.


Oh, and never forget

i was refering to Raquel but the same can be said for Indi and alot of the nxt callups
they still getting called up with no set plans in place or time to shine

look how long it took for Tegan to get a progam
what happened to the KCs, one of the only legit female tag teams or witch chicks...they just recently popped up with some promo videos

The only problem with this is I don't see Christian hanging it up in a year or two. Dude is putting together the best work of his career.

 

[ThaBurgerPimp]

Raquel gotta sit tf down somewhere after seeing this

Jade too

Yeah, Christian Cage storyline and him having the TNT Championship is on point lately at AEW ...

 

[EPDC]

LMAO I knew I wasn't the only one who thought he had a big old head. Ol Tyrion Lannister looking motherfucker...

I thought WWE didn't consider AEW competition?

 

[younggiftedandblack]

To be fair AEW moved to Tuesday. WWE just responded to ensure they don't lose any viewers since Becky is hurt and probably won't wrestle.

 

[EPDC]

Perceptions change, they still consider AEW a secondary promotion.

AEW did have a monster show in London, however, and athough they followed that up with shitty shows in the US, signing Edge is going to bring eyes to their product, especially on the special Tuesday edition of Nitr...Dynamite.

With AEWs failure to grow their TV audience, WWE smells blood in the water... hence stacking their regular Tuesday show.

Besides, WWE has been putting main roster talent in NXT for months now. This is just too good an opportunity to pass up.

 

[younggiftedandblack]

Rhea did tell him not to come back home without that title.

 

[Mastermind2002]

This should be interesting. I've been really enjoying Maki's work over the last three months.

LOL, NXT pulling a TK with a "major announcement" scheduled.

 

[Mastermind2002]

If I'm TK just book the show you were already planning to book next Tuesday. Completely no sell what WWE is doing.

 

[Mastermind2002]

LOL, NXT pulling a TK with a "major announcement" scheduled.

We'll see if it works.

 

[Mastermind2002]

AI is getting out of control.

 

[XXXplosive]

We'll see if it works.

I'm curious to see what that rating will look like since AEW will not be on their traditional Wednesday night and historically show ratings take a hit when they're bumped to another night. Yet, Edge will be debuting on their show so that will provide a bump.

WWE is obviously stacking the NXT card in response.
While WWE doesn't consider AEW "competition" in the sense that AEW could ever take over the #1 wrestling company they are competition in terms of eyeballs for the one night.
Some may call it petty, but it's really just smart business.

Yeah that shit is corny. Was corny when TK did it every other week. Corny with Cody doing it here. Unless it's something game changing, there aren't any real major announcements in wrestling.

Damn they pulled the Cena card.

I expect AEW to get destroyed rating wise. They typically struggle when they move Dynamite to a different night. Even with Edge making his debut, WWE will promote the fuck out of NXT on Smackdown, the weekend PPV and Monday Night Raw will do ridiculous numbers for NXT. Having Cena on the card alone would have given them an enormous "edge" (pun intended) already. Adding Cody. Asuka's match and Heyman....lolz it may do better than Raw, especially since Monday Night Football is back.

Shit apparently they seem to think AEW is competition with their 3rd show in NXT?

AEW/Stans get mad at WWE when they don't consider them competition. They also get mad when WWE may consider them as competition....

I have no problem with it. Indeed it's business which is why TK should just run his show like he normally would and not worry about WWE.

EDGE vs. Okada! Let's goooo!

^^^ that shucking and jive shit is cringe worthy in WWE when New Day does it. It's cringe worthy in AEW when that clown does it.

Why is this fool dancing like that such a big part of the show.

I really don't get it.
