Awful. They remind me of the old Attitude Era sticker albums where each wrestlers' page had 'their' logo in one of the corners. Bit like this one, but the likes of X-Pac and The Godfather all had them too. I'm all for this making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Fucking hell, I watch NXT most weeks and I still don’t know who some of those are. Who the hell are the Outliers? Dio Madden? Who they fuck are they, if not an NFL themed Metal band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point he mentioned his first ever match was against Lince Dorado, so he might also be a wrestler. That's all I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one of these and used it as a reference guide in 2000 to decorate an entire chipboard left over from house renovation in my nan's gaf using permanent marker. The board was there years later still when I was a smarky, spotty teenager and I found it quite amusing that I'd done the entire roster, from Rock right down to Perry Saturn. Just a board propped up in the shed with 'Perry Saturn' written down the bottom corner of it in a weird hand drawn font, like he'd been hanging out there drinking cans. I know some of the logos back then were just as generic, but I loved that you could flick through that book and virtually every wrestler in it was a character, and had some sort of allegiance or cross-storyline pollination with nearly every other wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2019 Saw it all over Twitter last night. I've always loved the wrestlers having logos going back to the trading cards in the late 80s and the early 90s sticker books. Those are so fucking bad. There are only about 2 that don't look like someone played with Microsoft WordArt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them are fake names and it's up to us to work out which are NXT wrestlers and which are just made up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been on Woods YouTube channel quite a bit and is now commentating on 205 live. The Outliers have something to do with Robbie E and that’s all I know. Some of these guys who have had shirts made have barely been on tv. I had to google Brendan Vink. I still don’t know who he is and I don’t think anyone has been crying out for some Vink merch lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoote Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have a theory...WWE "sweetened" their contracts with a percentage of royalties...cue crap shirts, small print run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I'm actually really looking forward to the show being 2 hours now. I think they have more than enough talent to fill it, and I hope it allows them to create more stars and get people out there more. Obviously only time will tell as to whether they're capable of delivering the same quality with a 2 hour show, but Smackdown has often been a solid watch with the same length, so it's not impossible.

The King of Old School Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yeah I think 2 hours will work for this. Hopefully we'll see some 205 live guys on the show too with the Cruiserweight belt coming under the NXT banner now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted September 18, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted September 18, 2019 I’ve barely watched NXT in ages but I’m excited for tonight’s show. I always love a big reset show where there’s a chance of surprises and drastic changes in direction. Is Ciampa close to returning? Are we all agreed that it’s probably best to pretend he never came out to congratulate Gargano when Johnny won the Title, thus rendering the entire storyline even shitter than it had already become? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheToeSucker Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 is it a big reset episode? I hope so. It can't be more of the same surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he returns tonight. Edit: he posted this an hour ago  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
