Mr Butternut Squash Posted June 16, 2021 Posted June 16, 2021 Cameron Grimes is the only worthwhile babyface in the entire promotion. Quote

Coming out to that awesome theme 3 or 4 times a week and choking someone out, then leaving. Hell, combine it with having him on commentary. "Back in a sec, Vic..." I always wondered if that was where Wade was gonna go behind the desk, being an enforcer for Regal eventually. Have to say, I much prefer Joe doing this every time. Quote
d-d-d-dAz Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 The main issue they’re always going to have with Samoa Joe is that he looks like he’d fill in their entire roster. Just beat the fuck out of every single one of them and twice on Sunday. So, if he’s not going to be a main event destroyer type talent, what’s the point? He’ll always make the actual wrestlers look worst by being in his company. Quote
Merzbow Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 My minds a bit hazy but didn't that happen with Stone Cold? He was RAW GM and just stunnered half the roster, and they were always going to seem lesser than him anyway. Quote

She’d slapped every one from John Cena to Jack Swagger. So when Sting grabbed her arm when she tried to slap him, it probably got the biggest pop out of a passive audience in months. Quote

It goes without saying that she's the worst authority figure in recent memory, I'd take Russo over her no selling everyone not named Ronda. But she's not a super credible star who could overshadow the roster just by being there, it's a different story. Edited June 17, 2021 by Merzbow Quote
DavidB6937 Posted June 17, 2021 Posted June 17, 2021 Wouldn't it be a bit pointless Regal hiring someone 'lesser' who no one would take seriously? Quote

The Stephanie McMahon heel character was one of if not the most detrimental to getting babyfaces over in wrestling history. Her never ending belittling of every character around her for years just made everyone look like complete shit. I can't think of anything worse than her Authority run. Terrible terrible terrible.

Also remember his run as the "sheriff" on Raw around 03/04 that had the same stipulation as Joe in NXT where he couldn't put his hands on anyone unless he was provoked. Quote

The report I read described a "random Asian person" being alongside Strong in the Diamond Mine. Dunno if it's indicative because I don't normally even read the NXT reports but the site I read it on has a little poll for feedback and both this week's and last week's have polled "Great show" with 75% last week and 60% this week. As I say, I don't normally check so it could be that they're just positive about NXT (Raw normally polls Average show) but it seems a good sign of recovery. Quote

andrew "the ref" coyne Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 I don't mind the Diamond Mine in isolation, initial impressions it looks cool, but the whole thing looks fairly similar to Imperium with the 'heel stable that wears black tracksuits' vibe. Still continue to be amazed that NXT can do a decent womens tag division whilst the main roster equivalent is so fucking bad with more than double the tv time. Quote
Tsurutagun Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 With The Diamond Mine they are certainly catching up on AEW with the amount of factions they have. The more Malcolm Bivens I get on my telly the better. That battery is charging slower than the battery on my beard trimmer. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Whoever that battery is for, I can’t help but feel like it’s going to be a disappointment. That’s probably just be the pessimist in me, but I just can’t seem to get my hopes up about much these days Quote
