Bring him back Trips.
Bring him back Trips.
Keith Lee has literally been buried as one of the tag team champions.
There are so many belts it doesn't matter. There are two shows. Dynamite and Rampage. Rampage is on at the worlds shittiest TV time and is pure filler. They are on that.Originally Posted by Disco
This is so true. Apparently they're introducing trios belts as well?
Laurinitas has been shown the door.
Also, word is that Trips wants to bring back Dexter Lumis and Gargano
Ah well the HHH being good era was short lived.
Lumis
She needs to stick to the sexy pins.
@Ian
QM back tomorrow a lot earlier.
I'll definitely be watching that later on then.
New Japan doing two dates at Crystal Palace in October.
Only a matter of time before AEW at Craven Cottage? Take my money, Tony!
I'm a twit
I've been watching Monday Night War and the episode ordering/content makes so little sense. I feel like we've been over the 'RAW finally took over when Austin faced McMahon' headline at least 4 times and I'm only one episode 10 (Goldberg).
The ECW episode was probably the best, although crowbarring the Austin episode between that at the WCW Cruiserweight episode was nonsense.
Regal vs Goldberg looked a classic.

I'd guess NXT UK is on life support now.
I haven't watched any NXT 2.0 since the second episode but I'll have to get back into it.
I like how he showed up as UK champ despite the fact that him actually winning the title hasn't been broadcast yet.
NXT UK will die. It's a shame that they had to ruin Progress and a couple of others en route to ultimately not giving a shit about it.
That's some WCW shit.
It's pretty much done already.
A lot of UK talent has moved over (Blair Davenport, Gallus and Bate) and were on the last NXT 2.0. I've also heard rumours of others moving over soon.
Plus BT cancelled the latest couple of tapings and there are rumours that they have cancelled all for the foreseeable future with no alternative venue.
And half of them turned out to be absolute sex pests.
Speaking of pests, I saw Marty Scurll is doing tours of Mexico these days.
Walter going from never leaving Europe to being on the main shows, he must have known something was going on. There can't be many left who have only been on the UK show by now
Catching up on the Triple H era RAW & Smackdown's and the triple threats to determine the number 1 contender for the US title and the US title match between Lashley and Ciampa were fantastic.
It's mainly the mid-carders I believe.
Looking through the roster the biggest names are probably Jinny (who is now married to WALTER so will be moving soon you'd imagine) and Millie McKenzie.
Bate should be main roster already. He can bring his midlife crisis uncle with him if wants but I'm less fussed.
The uncle turned into a bastard.
Put some respect on that company when you say it.
Hell of an intro.
Do they want to suck him off a bit more? And wasting his return on a trios tournament is a bit weird. It's like their ninth different championship so how is this one meant to be taken all that seriously? I don't know if it's the Bucks egos or something but they've turned face to buddy back up with Kenny but by doing so they've cost him a good singles storyline and also the grudge match with FTR is off the table.
I feel like Jim Cornette here but AEW is just dross these days.
The Punk/Ambrose promo was fucking awful. Punk just relies on digs at WWE
To the guys who watch AEW regularly, if Omega was fully fit, do they consider him their top guy? Or is Moxley/Punk their top guy?
I know they were building up Page for ages but that doesn't seem to have worked all too well in the end.
Page and the Young Bucks really go for all the weird Dawson's Creek stuff that could potentially work if actors and writers were involved instead, it's hard to watch sometimes
Eric Bischoff is absolutely right about AEW. They are marketing themselves to the hardcore fans, who make up a fraction of the audience. There’s only so many dream matches and wink-wink-nudge-nudge at the camera before you’ve actually got to book sensibly. I don’t watch the product so I might be off but from the outside the roster seems massively bloated with not enough TV time or focus on everyone to do it justice.
I want it to work, though. God knows WWE needs competition.
Well, Bischoff would know. WCW spent about three years doing shoot promos which just bewildered 99% of the audience.
AEW need a booker. Tony is just a smart fan living out his dream but he only had about five storylines planned in his head which he obviously burned through a couple of years ago now. I actually tried to watch Dynamite last week but it's just full of dumb shit like the babyface you're trying to get over running away from a bunch of heel jobbers; it's just movez and goofing around, which is sad considering the talent. Moxley seemingly blades himself taking a shit these days as well.

The only thing Eric Bischoff knows is how to run a company into the ground.
NXT UK is out, NXT Europe is in

If they need a proper European champion I know a guy
They have too many people for the tv time available, take one or two segments out of each show (and revert Rampage to being three good matches) and it would be fine.
Still crossing my fingers for D'Lo Vs Regal to decide who gets to be the first FIVE TIME champ.NXT UK is out, NXT Europe is in

Russo started that shit, after Bischoff was sent home in 2000.
Patently false, but okay.
Good idea that.NXT UK is out, NXT Europe is in

Also, KO v Drew was great.
It's brilliant to see the old KO back, give him all the titles.
Roddy Piper’s entire run was meandering promos full of insider references. Which was what, 1997?
Hogan burned an Observer on live TV the year before that.
D'lo gets a run with his old WWE theme. Each week a lyric is changed to suit a European language. Victory's sweet, here's le receipt.
NXT UK releases are happening.
Flash Morgan Webster
Wild Boar
Mark Andrews
Jack Starz
Dave Mastiff
Ashton Smith
All gone. It's a shame big Dave Mastiff won't be around.
Just look at all that meat.
Edit: Millie McKenzie too which is probably the biggest star they had in the UK.
Sha Samuels now, the cockney cunt.
Nina Samuels.
Sam Gradwell.
Dani Luna.

Bischoff has one good idea (the nWo), milked it dry, continued milking its corpse and then tried to revive it everywhere he went. His attempt in TNA was just sad.
I don't think a single company has sensible booking. It's the nature of the beast. All short-term and chasing trends.
Which was the TNA nWo again? Was it Aces & Eights, Main Event Mafia, the whole Young Blood vs the other guys? Immortal? Fourtune?
I don’t know about TNA, I never watched it but the narrative about “one good idea” just isn’t true. It was Bischoff who brought cruiserweight wrestling to the mainstream. He did the Goldberg win streak angle. Created the Crow Sting character and held off on the payoff match for 18 months. DDP as the peoples champion. In my opinion he is the reason the late 90s boom happened at all. He instigated going head-to-head on Monday nights with Vince and moved towards the reality based programming. Vince just responded to WCW.
*Rag sheet, Brother!
If we want to fully bash Bischoff, he completely ripped off the angle from Japan the year before.
