Pro Wrestling Contract Season

[The King Of Swing]

I thought he was fun during those early BC days, which is why I was thinking another run could be fun. 

Outside of that though, never really cared one way or another.

Balor/Devitt had a really fucking good career in Japan before joining WWE. Full of great matches and, importantly, helped changed NJPW business by forming the Bullet Club. 

He's definitely not one of those 'was he actually good over there?' types. 

Also, pretty sure he signed a new five-year WWE deal a year ago, so I doubt he goes anywhere anytime soon.

To be fair, unless you can point to an equally good run in the US you may have actually made the point even stronger that he is one of those types. Maybe he's the King of 'Good Over There' style.

“Good In Japan” isn’t that someone actually was good in Japan though, is it? It’s a Pitcos style burn on people insisting someone shit like Albert was good over there even though they were the same act bell to bell. That’s not Devitt/Balor.

I always assumed there was some merit to the claims. That they had in fact been good in Japan.

I guess I should go back and watch Albert's run in Japan to check.

I won't. But I should.

Watch Jamal/Umaga's AJPW run instead.

These AAA wrestlers have all apparently signed WWE contracts.

Nino Hamburguesa is a great name.

Is Lady Flammer his valet?

Can't wait to see how Bertie goes and fucks this one up.

I really hope this is a contractual necessity to allow them to book this lot on the World's Collide show, and not a sign fucking Del Rio could be coming back to the proper shows. Absolute shitehawk.

[Devon Malcolm]

Contractually obliged to mention that Del Rio's match with Cena in a broken ring at whatever event that was was absolutely excellent but as you were.

[DavidB6937]

Does he still have the bloke with him? I quite enjoyed him.

[Supremo]

Del Rio! Fucking hell.

Brock Lesnar will be back in WWE by the end of the year.

Aren't there a few fellas in AAA that Stephanie Vaquer has a restraining order against? I'm sure they won't be getting signed.

Actually, scratch that, I'm not sure. They may indeed get signed, I would at l least hope they were never anywhere near Stephanie Vaquer in any shape or form if they were, however.
