They just turned up and lost a whole bunch of times. They may have won one or two but who even cared at that point?
You watched NXT this week, 'How?

Not yet, will start on it in a little bit.
Really excited for Murphy/Dream though.
Well I've only watched that match thus far but what a cracker it was, definitely lived up to the hype.
I wasn't a fan of Murphy's when he first came to 205 but he's brilliant. That running knee strike whilst they were on the apron was spot on.
Any of you heard of a wrestler called Isaac North?
I have a Facebook friend request off him from years back; turns out it’s someone I went to school with. He is known as Big Dave to me, because there were three lads called David Jones in our year and he was the tallest. The other two were known as Doddle (dunno) and Fester (looked tired).
Anyway, I have heard from an unreliable source that he’d “been done for noncing” but I wouldn’t like to start any rumours if he’s an up and coming wrestling [face] superstar.
I'm a twit
Apparently this is CM Punk. AEW soon?
Well he is linked to AEW though iirc.
I've just realised that Nikki Cross wasn't given an actual brand last week.
I'm now worried that she's going to be one of Bray's 'puppets' when he returns this week or next.
Aleister Black and Ricochet are no longer a team.
Aleister, Zelina and Andrade have been moved to Smackdown. Apparently Fox wanted more Latinos and Aleister was moved so he's on the same brand as his wife Zelina.
Cesaro has been moved to RAW but no news if Cesaro will follow him when he's back from injury.
Cesaro is long overdue a singles run.
I wouldn't hold your breath, Seamus has a dodgy back and can't really do singles hence why that tag team has lasted a million years longer than most do.

Thank me later.
"The Viking Raiders." With The Viking Experience as their double-team move name.
It's better, WWE, but not much, and having Cole sort-of-address the response doesn't mean it's all good now.
I was also surprised that they had AJ get the #1 contendership, I was sure that was going to be McIntyre to take it. Them two should have a great match.
Aaaand lastly.... "Robert Roode?" I dunno if by shaving the beard into a tache he was going for a Rick Rude vibe but I'm getting Bennett from Commando.
I heard they mistook it for a commercial.
It puts years on him.
Suzuki could wrestle for ever.
Word is that it's been changed again. This time to Viking Warriors.
Just change it back to fucking War Machine or Raiders you pricks.
I also think I might apply for a job with the company for coming up with new names. I can only think of shit ones like they have been doing too.
Change it every week like an IRA branch.
I'm glad to see that the womens tag belts are much like the mens often are and there largely to point out who the designated jobbers are.
What a waste of time.
Of course because NXT is taped in advance I'm watching last night's and they've just come out as the "War Raiders."
Just as well Vince forgets NXT even exists.
Fucking hell.
Apparently a replacement ref came down, twisted his ankle and couldn't continue the pussy.
Well there's something for next time somebody tries to give me the "You it's fake lol" chat. Even the refs carry on with broken limbs.
Stupid carny bastards.
Reminds me of when Sin Cara couldn't continue because he broke his pinkie.
Which Sin Cara? Presumably not the one who is / was a bit of a loon who'd won a number of backstage fights?
How did the ref break his leg?
Took a superkick and fell weirdly apparently.
Must be the only ref around that can't take a bump.
Goldberg is going to Saudi Arabia (Baroque is also advertised ofc) and Killian Dain is apparently going back to NXT.
Nothing better according to Vince.
Well it's nice to see that with Reigns' move to Smackdown they've freshened up his booki-.... oh no it's just him vs. Authority again.
That'll go down nicely with THE UNIVERSE.
So Beth Pheonix is apparently now a full time commentator for NXT
Not sure how Mahow will react to that.
I love that John Moxley (Dea Nambrose) posted nothing on his WWE twitter account since signing for the company then a few hours after his contract expired he posted a minute and a half rammed with subtext and references.

Good work, Vince.
I'd say so.
Percy is a bit like a crap uncle though, he's still family.
I didn't know that Kevin Nash's "Vinnie Vegas" gimmick had been a thing.
That left hand picture in particular is amazing.
Yeah, he went through plenty before Diesel. I want to say he went through 3 in as many weeks for WCW.
Wasn’t one of them a wizard of oz thing or something?
Yep. With Kevin Sullivan shouting, "Welcome to OZ!" every three seconds. Magnificent. Actually, fuck that. Oz never spoke.

Did Dea Nambrose go downhill once we started calling him Dea Nambrose?
Christ RAW this week is bad.
It's been a proper slog to just try and watch it.
The Bliss/Naomi was baffling.
What's even the point of the brand split now?
I only watched about the first three minutes of Raw before I had to leave for work but that was my first thought.
Ishii v Evil from Dontaku was immense, two beefy boys putting on a really good show.
Onto the Super Juniors next and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of El Phantasmo, any situation that gets me Phantasmo v Ospreay is the correct one.
The "Wild Card rule."
Sounds like Fox and USA want rid of the brand split anyway.
Fox must be seriously wondering what the fuck they were thinking when they agreed to hand WWE a billion dollars for Smackdown coverage.
