Wait the nWo is gonna be there tonight!?!?!

[xrodmuc316]

Wait the nWo is gonna be there tonight!?!?!

nWo was one of the worst factions in WWE history! Hogan was a babyface within a month, Hall was fired within 2 months, and Kevin Nash blew his quad out after like 4 months. Plus for some random reason Ric Flair could just add Booker T as a member.

[Sepholio]

WWE owns the rights to WCW, so you have to take the entirety of nWo history into account and not the shitty stuff Vince touched!

[slik]

Miz will have a birthday celebration as well

[#1-norm-fan]

The constant DX reunions kinda made sense when Vince was in charge.

With Triple H in charge it’s a bit sad.

[Sepholio]

HHH deserves to be lauded.

[Sepholio]

Who knew famed TPWW poster James Steele was right about Papa Haitch all along?

[xrodmuc316]

WWE owns the rights to WCW, so you have to take the entirety of nWo history into account and not the shitty stuff Vince touched!

Semantics :rofl:

[Sepholio]

I bet you cranked one out to Katie Vick!

[Sepholio]

BORK LESNAR supposedly in the house to set up his Crown Jewel match tonight, supposedly will be with Lashley.

Also rumored is that Erik "Redbeard" Rowan has been resigned. Assuming he will be one of the Wyatt 6.

[Sepholio]

So Bray, Bo, Rowan, Gacy, maybe Alexa...and Corbin maybe?

[Sepholio]

Theres your SS matchup, Wyatt 6 vs The Bloodline

[xrodmuc316]

Billy Gunn showed up, but Huskis ate him

[Jordan]

LOL @ opening segment, that made me chuckle. Is this a new theme for the open? I love it.

[xrodmuc316]

Vince sitting at home right now like...

"THAT DAMN DX ARRRRRRRRRRRRR"

https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2019/03/df9ab-15528885178437-800.jpg

[Jordan]

The camera work on the opening was great too, show is starting off with electric!

[Jordan]

Triple H really like an English voice on commentary.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I don’t hate Kevin Patrick. Seems like he has a good energy. We’ll see how he does.

[Jordan]

IDK if I will stick around the full show... I forgot they were in BK tonight. I could have gone but ah well, it's crowded as fuck there.

[Jordan]

Show feels big.

[Evil Vito]

“We will relive in full the return of Bray Wyatt” makes it sound like he’s not there/nothing new happening with it.

Hopefully not the case, given he just got a Road Warrior pop on Saturday.

[xrodmuc316]

Sami is over AF

[Jordan]

USY

[xrodmuc316]

This is hysterical

[Evil Vito]

Sami Zayn is an international treasure.

[slik]

Sami having the best run of his entire career

[slik]

season premier of chucky was fantastic, glad to see it get that marketing push during RAW is WAR

[Sepholio]

SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH

[Sepholio]

Diarrhea Ripley

[Evil Vito]

Hit him u bitch

[Sepholio]

Thats in my head for some reason. Get it out.

Also Dominick sucks donkey balls. Dirty ones. Sweaty ones. He even enjoys donkey taint.

[Sepholio]

I'm sorry but I've always thought this: 619 is one of the handful of dumbest moves to ever exist. Rey is the only person who doesn't look absolutely laughable terrible when he does it.

[xrodmuc316]

Rhea with a Beth armband :lol:

[Sepholio]

Diarrheas voice seems a bit deeper than normal.

[Sepholio]

Again, the lighting trick they use to make the reverse shadow effect for Judgement Day in the ring is fucking awesome.

[Sepholio]

I'm guessing it's some kind of high intensity UV light making the ring react, but damn, so cool. I want a reverse shadow.

[xrodmuc316]

I'm guessing it's some kind of high intensity UV light making the ring react, but damn, so cool. I want a reverse shadow.

I agree, that does look awesome.

[Evil Vito]

Judgment Day vs The Club it is

[xrodmuc316]

Time for AJ to get some help!

[Sepholio]

GALLOWS AND ANDERSON

yay -_-

[xrodmuc316]

Wow, Good Brothers WAY over in Brooklyn

[slik]

lol the good bros

[Ruien]

Hell ya!

[xrodmuc316]

I 100% forgot they called them The O.C. in WWE lol

[Sepholio]

I 100% forgot they called them The O.C. in WWE lol

Same

[Sepholio]

Candace so hawt

[Sepholio]

Miz' schtick is wearing thin and I am glad Lumis is going to murder him and hide the body.

[Evil Vito]

Jesus, this was cringeworthy

[Evil Vito]

But at least Maryse makes me happy in the pantalones

[Sepholio]

Yeah that was easily the worst segment thus far of the whole Papa Haitch era.

[Sepholio]

But I guess 2 big massive balls to go with Miz giant bat is pretty on brand for a DX themed episode.

[Evil Vito]

Be funny if the jobbers shoot on Omos and pin him

[Sepholio]

oh man just running a replay of last night is not a good move

[Sepholio]

Saturday night*

[Evil Vito]

Apparently the fans in the arena are booing now that they’ve realized they’re just getting a replay and nothing new

[Sepholio]

HHH dropping the ball man

[Sepholio]

Only way they fix that blunder is if he comes out later tonight

[Evil Vito]

Only way they fix that blunder is if he comes out later tonight

If DX are doing an in-ring reunion as the “main event” I’d have to assume there’s no goddamn way the “Wyatt 6” wouldn’t turn up then. But who knows.

[slik]

Happy Brocktober to those who celebrate

[Evil Vito]

Nice, Brock vs Big Bob was a fun time at the Rumble. I’m happy to run that back

[Sepholio]

BOOOOORRRRRKKKKKK!!!!

[xrodmuc316]

I like the idea of Brock being a full blown Sadist, no wanting to go after titles, he just randomly comes out and hurts people to get a boner to give Sable.

[Evil Vito]

They dropped a new QR code that works out to a puzzle that spells “JNV”

J = 10
n = 14
V = 22

No Bray till Smackdown I guess

[Sepholio]

lol well, new champ

[Sepholio]

boooooo wendy testaburger

[Sepholio]

Another Bray teaser just now

[Sepholio]

Tony Khan wanks dogs

[Sepholio]

CMON SAMI USO

[Sepholio]

Wasnt very much DX in this DX anniversary show lol

[Sepholio]

Spoke too soon

[Sepholio]

Xpac the only one of these guys that doesn't look full geezer at this point lol

[Evil Vito]

Shout out DADDY ASS you cowards

[Sepholio]

lol Road Dogg, Degeriatric X

[Evil Vito]

Wyatt 6 laying out old DX would be cool

[Jordan]

Suck it boys are the bosses!

[Evil Vito]

LOL that was a bunch of masturbatory nonsense

[slik]

misread evil vito as evil sasso and thought about will sasso in wcw

[Evil Vito]

misread evil vito as evil sasso and thought about will sasso in wcw

Will Sasso was one of those celebs in wrestling where I just couldn’t totally hate their involvement since he actually loves it and it’s about more than just the payday for him

[Lock Jaw]

Actually watched this show..... and by watched I mean I skipped over all rassling except for the short Lashley/Rollins match.

Bloodline/Jey/Sami story seems "really interesting"..... I could see Sami be the one to take the title off off Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania. I really could. He's got a bit of the Mick Foley "loveable doofus trying to fit in" vibe, and when he gets kicked out I could see the fans really getting behind him in the underdog kind of way. Him winning the rumble, and then going to WM.

Judgement Day seems really "hot"... Story of Rey refusing to hit his son is "cool".... Anderson/Gallows are "not cool".....

Miz/Lumis thing seems really weird... Lumis character supposed to be like a stalker/raper? But I guess the guy he is stalking/raping is a jerk so he's a good guy....

Damage Control seems "good"...

Lashley losing the belt is dumb I think.... he should have gone over Seth.... would have been "a moment" to show "damn, this guy is tough" right after showing him get one-sided beat down'd by Lesnar...... would have also given the title a lot of credibility to have Lesnar fighting for it.... title feels "less important" now, like "we gotta get the title off this guy if he is gonna fight Brock, Brock can't be associated with that title"

[Evil Vito]

Not the worst ep. Some decent stuff. Had to flip over to MNF a few times though when I was losing interest.

Def prefer this as a watch later and skip kinda show I think. But some guys I always wanna watch. Sami Zayn is gold

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sami Zayn on the shortlist of wrestling MVPs. Good for him.

I kind of wish Lesnar vs. Lashley was for the US Title. It would be fascinating to see Brock as US Champ. Oh well. I’d be cool with Brock vs. Bobby and Rollins vs. Riddle for the US Title too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Raw sounds “good.” I can’t really bring myself to watch though. It needs more “life.” I dunno how else to put it.

[XL]

HHH bringing more guys in. Using that TK playbook some more…

[Mr. Nerfect]

At some point you’ve got to stabilize the roster. Right now, the shows seem to be generally benefitting from Triple H’s approach. I hope he can kill his babies easily enough though. These aren’t all winners.

[Sepholio]

HHH bringing more guys in. Using that TK playbook some more…

He needs to put the playbook down now or else Bray will get jobbed out to Roman next week and then be on Main Event on youtube for the next 6 months.

What you want is for everyone to want to leave AEW, but for them to be stuck there.

[Sepholio]

lol what?

You had the context wrong Seph. NOW read it.

[Sepholio]

Oh that makes more sense now.

[drave]

Glad to have been of service

HHH bringing more guys in. Using that TK playbook some more…

I don't think that's the case at all. Tony Khan wasted no time in bringing in talent that were WWE castoffs because he wanted to "sign" what he believed he could turn into the next best thing.

HHH has re-signed people that were close to him through NXT or he has a good working relationship with. Some were also signed because Vince either fired them because they couldn't get over or fired them because they were "difficult" to work with.

Vince released all these wrestlers and TK signed whoever he could. The blue print was there from WCW that that is exactly what you DO NOT do. Look at who HHH has Brought back

Gallows and Anderson- Strengthen the Tag division

Scarlett and Karrion Kross- Kross was a monster in NXT and then jobbed out on the main roster.

Johnny Gargano and Candice LaRae- Arguably they let their contracts expire due to the birth of their child and wanting to get used to being parents. Gargano was a work horse in NXT.

Bray Wyatt- One of the more creative minds in the business.

Meanwhile TK went after people like:

Keith Lee- A big man that moves great for his size but doesn't follow a diet and looks lazy as shit at times in the ring.

Jeff Hardy- WAYYYYYYYY past his prime and then was arrested for drunk driving and hasn't been seen since.

Samoa Joe- Another one that is beyond his prime.

He's brought in guys that are definitely on the up as well like Swerve Scott. But his signings reek of "Daddy Khan I wanna go to the toy store and get some new figures for my ring" whereas HHH's signings show that he already has a plan for who he has signed.

[drave]

r/whoooooooooosh

[xrodmuc316]

Has Tony Khan signed anyone from WWE in the last 3 years that he has had any plan with whatsoever, other than debut pop, FEDBAD promo, then to AEW Dark?

Seriously, there has been zero story arch or long term plan for any of them.

Or you could say “WWE is signing WWE castoffs”.

[Splaya]

I mean that's one way of looking at it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

lol what?

The backstage problems are useful. Why alleviate them for AEW and possibly even take them on yourself?

[Sepholio]

They wouldn't be as big of a problem backstage in WWE because their management isn't filled with pussies who are afraid of the talent and just want to hug them and hang out.

[Sepholio]

Imagining HHH geeked up on fishscale and trying to hug Brock Lesnar.

[ron the dial]

yes thank you for that visual seph lol

[Mr. Nerfect]

They wouldn't be as big of a problem backstage in WWE because their management isn't filled with pussies who are afraid of the talent and just want to hug them and hang out.

No, and because they largely want to be there. But AEW having the nightmares hurts them and makes your camp look even better. If you take everyone that wants out of AEW, suddenly they’ve got fewer people fighting backstage and for airtime. Now you’ve got to put them in prominent positions to keep the idea that talent is going to be pushed for jumping ship, and logistically that can be difficult.

I’d take talent that is leaving anyway, but AEW being a mess is not necessarily something you want to fix for them. Let them wallow in the mess they’ve created.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lol, remember when Jericho said they were only interested in 3 or 4 WWE guys? It was obviously bullshit at the time, but it’s downright surreal now.

[Lock Jaw]

Well, see, after they are fired they aren't WWE guys anymore, they are unemployed guys!

[rez]

I've been dabbling in a little WWE lately.

HHH is righting the ship but it's gonna take years to fix Vince fuck ups. I'm rooting for him

[Stu Hart]

Was somewhat intrigued by dexter loonies until they did a camera shot where loom is was behind they Miz and looked considerably shorter.. killed his heat for me

[Helmsphere]

lol Dexter Loonies.
