WyattSheepMask Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Cinematic shoot-fighting next then. Whose going to be the first entered into the Kumite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Duke Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 I look forward to Shane hiring Dario Cueto to GM his new venture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Nick James Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 I presume the former Babatunde is their version of Tiger Tong Po? The Big Ninja has got to be the most physically imposing extra they've ever used.

Snitsky's back acne Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Watched a few clips of Raw Underground on Youtube and it looks pretty cool [within a wrestling context]. Hurt Business looked the, erm, business too. Promising start but, as this is WWE, I won't get my hopes up too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ratings an all time low so they have Shane McMahon start an underground fight club with Babatunde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 RAW Underground has a very similar vibe to Underworld Wrestling, a project I helped launch on Amazon. If you're curious go watch it on Amazon Prime, we structured the matches to be more shoot fighty with KOs and submissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m intrigued to find out who the 5 in the ANTIFA group are, Dijakovic, Ciampa and Vanessa Bourne would be 3 of my guesses, other then that the RAW Underground thing will probably run for 2 weeks and disappear off the face of the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted August 4, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted August 4, 2020 Having slept, I don't hate it nearly as much as I did at 4am. I can't see it being Ciampa as he's always stated he'd rather be released and go back to the indies than leave the NXT schedule. Dijakovic sounds a good shout, maybe Chelsea Green as well as shes due to be called up. It'd be kinda cool if it's a lot of people who had a bit of a name before coming to WWE wanting to have the freedom they had before so creating chaos. I'll tune in next week, play Civ 6 in the background while it's on and see where it all goes. The match quality was good in places this week and Bayley and Asuka should be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To an extent, yeah you're right and it could be that way for the foreseeable future, I just think someone like Ciampa would have the foresight to think that eventually if they start going round the country again it's not something he wants to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXT doesn't have anything for him. So surely he'd rather be doing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinc Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hang about - does he openly say he doesn't ever want to be called up to the top shows? That seems absolutely barmy. Barmy that he'd say it, and barmy that they'd push him as one of the top NXT guys for years if they know that's his ceiling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, you have a guy who is happy to stay in NXT and is good enough to main event for a long time as well as having enough credibility to put over younger stars who they do want to build up to the main roster. He could essentially be the gatekeeper of NXT. They can invest as much or as little as they want in him if he is happy in NXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
