WWE TV, Rumours and Discussion - Part VII

[Nugett]

I doubt any of the releases will make 1 iota of difference to WWE’s business

true that. There really hasn’t been worth watching for a while!

The Usos (c) vs The Mysterios (SD Tag Team Championship)
Edge vs Seth Rollins

Only thing worth watching is Edge vs Rollins.
Possibly Banks vs Belair.
Defiantly one of the worst cards I have ever seen. Better off watching Bam Bam vs LT.

 

[WA ROO]

makes you wonder if Nick Kahn is related to Tony!

Nah
Just a bean counter with too much power
He would sell NXT tomorrow if someone put enough dollars on front of him
Scary thing is he could do it for some reason

 

[Jack Richards]

No intercontinental champion match? Don't think they had one at a main event in at least 3 years.

Predictions:
Goldberg
Cena
Flair
Banks
Uso
Rollins

Please god no!

 

[Cleavy]

Did they really think the crowd wouldn’t chant for Cena? This is what happens when you don’t break it to them that he’s not there. Now he just looks like a knob.

he was in the post-show dark match, and he'll be back on SD next week

Vince has lost whatever little mind he had left. ****ing old passed his use-by-date codger. Paul and Steph wont have anything left.

CM Punks promo from 2011 is getting far more prescient as time goes on.

It’s not pro wrestling anymore, it’s more akin to a cartoon aimed at children so they can sell merch. Expecting a Disney takeover any month now.

 

[Chops18]

I mean we're a little bias towards Reed because we're aussie but with the amount of talent they still have left he's not a big loss like Wyatt.

Very Well Said. WWE not really about Wrestling Now more about the Entertainment

Have we been seeing the same WWE this year? I’ve barely seen any ‘entertainment’

There is entertainment then there is pandering to a cartoonish and childish style which is what WWE has become. Its like a cross over of cartoons and marvel/superhero type stuff these days.

Reed needs to get to NJPW - be a monster gaijin there

He wrestled for New Japan when they toured in Australia a few years back. Would be a great fit IMO.

 

[brutus76]

Also Vince....old folks home.....NOW!!!!!!

Meanwhile if Khan has his way AEW’s game will need to be on 2 discs like Metal Gear Solid on the PS1

At least it's not dozens of wrestlers unemployed in a pandemic when there's literally nowhere else for them to work.

Supposedly there is still more to come.

There are rumours that they are turning NXT back to a purely developmental (punishment I guess) brand.

Can't imagine Peacock would be thrilled. This is a show on basic cable in prime time that they are paying an absolute shit load (more than Warner does for Dynamite) for and should be being respected instead of decimated.

 

[MirosWife]

Would love to know the total number of people layed off starting way back to March-April last year when Miro, FTR, Lance Storm were released/left to now. Must be close to 60-70?

Punishment for being the least crappiest of the 3 brands?

This year alone has been 52. I’mguessing since last last March/April 2020 closer to 100.
