Still sad for Shinsuke and what he is today. Gonna go watch old NXT to feel better.
I am too, but from the rumormill, he doesn't really give a shit. He's happy to be there and makes enough money to literally fuck off to go surfing when he's not throwing himself at the ground for a living It's nice that he's happy, but THE WORLD could have gotten more in a legit international star. I was super amazed at how crowds took to him to the point where he was not only not getting "WHAT?" chants when he would speak, the crowd would shut the fuck up in a similar way to when Mark Henry used to do his babyface crowd volume thing until he was done talking, then pop for pretty much anything he said.

(note: this was born partially out of where I was going to go eariler, but as I stated, I can't exactly follow the same stream of conciousness ) Circling back to a thing I know I've mentioned before: I kinda feel bad for, of all people, Triple H. I legit think his plan was to actually *address* most of WWE's problems with lack of star power with call ups and pushes up the entire card while he was fucking around with XFL 2.0. By the time he would've looked, he might not have liked the roster at first glance, but with all the fresh faces and moving merch, he'd have been a fool to just change gears with what was supposed to be working.

Then, Vince panic scrapped that when the pandemic shutdowns hit full swing, and all his attention was back on his baby. And that led to a faster transition of NXT becoming more like the main roster instead of the main roster being like the hot NXT of old. All the far reaching plans like UE or Walter fell away (unaided by shitheads like Patrick Clark), and now the product goes right back into the cesspool of what has always been plaguing it.
