Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 25, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 25, 2022 I think it will probably be a gradual change in terms of what goes on in the ring, but the biggest one will come when Kevin Dunn goes, but if Borash does get the nod how weird would it be to tune into Raw or Smackdown and there's one of those weird sweeping drone shots of the crowd opening the show like they used to have in TNA when Bischoff was there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal Man Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I agree with these calls to bring Kevin Nash in to book, that's probably the fastest and funniest way to fuck everything up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Big Sexy booking RAW and Double J booking Smackdown with JB helping, now that'd be perfect. How long before AJ Styles vs Abyss headlines the blue brand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 If Kev and Borash gets the helm they better bring in this bad boy for the highlight packages. Take me back boys!!!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's inevitable, and I'd not be surprised if he jumps even in the seemingly unlikely event he doesn't get pushed. He's so closely tied to Vince, it feels to me like he only went back as a favour in the first place. The fact they've kept the podcast alive throughout everything suggests how lucrative it must be, and with Vince gone I see no reason why he'd keep working any kind of schedule when you can make a pretty damn good living listening to Conrad read from the Observer for 90 minutes a week. On the Kevin Dunn replacement - I seem to recall reading somewhere a couple of years ago that people expected Michael Cole to get that job if/when Hunter (who allegedly despises Dunn) ascended?

sevendaughters Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 HHH definitely ported some of the Dunn-isms to NXT. I remember when Balor debuted down in Florida and they had to shoot something like 4 minutes of him posing on the turnbuckle (in the script as "physicality") facing the hard cam to get it right, only at that time there was no crowd behind the hard cam and the whole thing came off as ridiculously false. Nothing in NXT felt particularly natural or organic, but at least you would get some matches that felt a bit gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I'd love someone to convince Kevin Dunn to do a podcast but I feel he has no earthly idea how he's perceived from the outside world and I'm all for it for just that potential rinsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch2000 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I text my older brother about it. He’s casual viewer but replied  He will probably wrestle again and give himself every belt in squash matches. And so he should!

Steve Justice Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Why is everyone wanking over HHH so much? Have we forgotten about his ropey racist past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch2000 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 No, it it’s hilarious how he was pretty much sacked, Jeff Jarrett was on live telly and now they’re two of the most important people in the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2022 Given that most of Hunters influence on NXT past seemed to be about making a wrestling show more like a wrestling show from a booking point of view, I just hope he’s able to extend his influence into production. Maybe watches how the show is actually coming across and decides they don’t need 37 cuts per minute and that they’re making a wrestling show, not a ropey fight movie.

Guest Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Raw is NXT wouldn't work. The wider Audience in wrestling has always came from big guys doing less. Raw needs it’s Next Nash than it does it’s NXT anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there are definitely bits and pieces they can learn from how NXT built stars and wrestlers that people cared about. Even going back to how someone like Keith Lee was presented at Survivor Series and Royal Rumble - let's ignore his long term booking.. that's more of what they need to do. It's not difficult. They just don't care most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
