  1. I was just in New York and was flicking through the TV channels late on and there he was Yoshi tatsu sat in a chair doing what looked like a Japanese shoot interview. Turns out it was the Japanese wrestling that jim ross voices over but Yoshi looked to be very heavily featured and Ross was mentioning his wwe past. I didn't even know he still wrestled.

  2. Is this a surprise? I read months ago wwe wanted to distance themselves from del rio due to his partying and were concerned for paige. Now he's drifting from one shady event to another and she's busted for illegal substances and looks like she's tuned to the moon. Lies on top of lies. It's not going to end well. But despite everything wwe will still get the blame for it no doubt.

  3. Not expected in the slightest but I loved No Mercy. Maybe because of the weird order of matches or that I only really watched the world and ic title matches and skimmed the rest but, those two matches my God!! They were amazing!! I've been down on miz and ziggler for years. Especially ziggler. But the story they told was so well done it's up there with my favourite matches in recent memory. Awesome match and I can't wait to rewatch it.

  4. As with movies, the answer is REMAKES. Don't make new stars, just cast different people as the old ones! Get someone as 'Hulk Hogan', someone as 'Stone Cold', and just redo all the angles and matches that people nostalgically remember! At least if they did that they'll be in line with other popular culture.

    If you present someone with charisma and a little bit of ability in the same light as a hulk hogan type figure, it could work. I always think of Braun Strowman as a modern day Hulk. He sounds like him when he talks and he's huge. Learn a leg drop and get him out of his decorating clobber and he'll be away.

  5. Listened to a few of brets podcasts today. Quality is pretty bad but what I like about it is how unreserved bret is on there. In interviews he sounds so old and uncomfortable but on here he comes across a lot better than usual. He does give Rollins a telling off but says it's constructive criticism and not personal and he thinks he's a great wrestler.

     

    Also had Austins show with russo on in the car the other day and was actively screaming at the man. I agree with a lot of what he says about things but the fact that he's saying them boils my piss. For example he is outraged that wrestling has lost around 7 million viewers since 1999. I asked him on twitter how many of those millions were lost due to his exploits and was promptly blocked.

  6. Probably in the minority but i dont get the love for nakamura. Watched his debut at takeover and on nxt tv and while he has a good presence and lots of charisma, once the bell rings i think he often looks knackered and his "king of strongstyle" moves dont really do much for me. Hope he grows on me because i want him to do well but do far, not impressed.

  7. When did Triple H's Internet babyface turn happen? During the Bryan-Authority feud there were as many tears shed over Hunter's burying ways as there ever were a decade earlier, but on the first NXT Internet special (which was during that same timeframe) he did a babyface promo to open the show.

    This. Wwe dont even make sense to themselves. The hated prick of the authority on raw is the respected god dana white of wwe on nxt which is featured on the same network. Its shite. Also im enjoying every moment of nxt cause i doubt it will remain as good as it is for long. They are already filtering in corporate influence in the storylines. I can see a "shock horror" invasion story down the line. Where they expect is to think like 7 year olds again. Shite
