So what do you think will happen with this International superstar shake up. Can see Pete Dunne getting a transfer to NXT ( don’t think they will put him on the main roster), Rhea Ripley and Toni Storm to NXT. Maybe send Danny Burch and his partner to NXT UK.

Who’s the last team to go into the EC for the Women’s Tag Titles? Do they put the Sky Pirates (Shirai & Sane) or do they chuck two random SDL women together?

You know what, the more I think about it, it’s fine. I honestly would rather see io shirai and kairi sane fight for the nxt women’s title rather than move up to the main rosters botched booking.

Supposedly NXT is rumored to be getting their own set of women tag titles which is pretty dumb since they have even fewer women's tag teams than the main roster does. Even if you include NXT UK, it still would be a pretty dire division.

Okay, I was thinking about this before I heard the news. Since NXT is where the women get treated really well, it would make sense for them to be "competitive" and put together a genuinely great tag team scene, probably led by Io Shirai & Kairi Sane.

It seems silly at first, but it will no doubt turn out better on the main roster, if just for the Takeover matches. They might get some genuine tag teams together too.

To me, the more ridiculous title right now is the North American one. The belt looks good, and I guess it hasn't hurt anyone yet, but what is the point? Adam Cole and Ricochet got runs, but are either of them better off for them? It's just...another belt. If a belt gets someone more over, then I guess it serves a purpose, and I tried to head canon that for those guys, but it doesn't really make a difference if they are fighting over something physically tangible or not.

Only reason the North American belt exists is due to NXT's roster getting too bloated in talent due to WWE's hoarding issues.

On paper, its just meant to give a meaningful reason for non-NXT title feuds but its been handled pretty poorly which is a bit ironic since its meant to be the equivalent of the IC/US belts and those don't get handled well on the main roster.

Apparently only an Order of Protection filed against him was dropped.

The case and charges against him are still on-going based on court documents. Also still has a separate lawsuit that is also on-going.

I still don't think it's that bad anymore, and I hated it when I first heard it myself. And someone here nitpicked about about Scott Steiner like I figured would happen, instead of just taking the point about "Big Poppa Pump" simply being a fucking stupid collection of words bestowed upon a man. Marketable, yes. Memorable, absolutely. Also, dreadful and absurd.

Velveteen Dream is something that gets less cringeworthy upon repetition. To some of us, moreso than others. It is a dumbass name, but a dumbass name that works. If that shit gets nearly as over on the main roster* as in NXT, nobody will see him any other way for the rest of his goddamn life.


*if they don't job him to death or leave him off TV for weeks at a time. Misuse would be the first hurdle for how big he can become.

Remember, he started under the tutelage of JR. Maybe he'd have been alright and as I've said, he's passable when he's "unchained". But he's no authority and is frankly just quite rigid.
I wasn't saying he's the best thing ever. I'm saying his "atrociousness" is overblown. It isn't an all-or-nothing thing. I remember a long number of years ago when someone around here said Big Show has the charisma of "an old boot" (yes, I was around back then, but more occasionally lurking than anything else). This was still when he was solidly in the constraints of being a generic giant. It wasn't until an SNL appearance years later until people got to see otherwise, and in turn, he actually got put in positions to show more of himself in WWE.

He might have been mentored by JR, but he doesn't have the leeway JR has in the booth. That's akin to someone being mentored on the stick by Paul Heyman; Paul E is one of the best who ever did it, but he pretty much also has carte blance to say whatever the fuck he wants. Joe Blow NXT callup most likely won't have such a luxury. If he had the ability to consistently do over the years what he did on A Beast In The East or post production redubs with Tazz during the Heyman run of Smackdown, there might be a higher opinion of him now.

Renee Young is okay, but dramatically less so when it literally sounds like she's getting fed what she's supposed to say word for word with pauses in between one cringy statement to the next just long enough to be the next line for her to repeat. Not saying she's the next Heenan, but pretty sure her stock would rise if she were allowed to ginuinely react and speak about the matches she's supposedly watching and commentating on. It doesn't mean she's terrible, but it does mean she doesn't get to work on becoming better.

The bigger problem is that WWE needs to ease up on trying to create human teleprompters for shit writing for all facets of talent.

I just think people make too many excuses for Michael Cole. He stank during the Attitude Era as well.

And I think Renee, while hamstrung on commentary (as is everyone else), is wasted in the booth even if she had free reign. She's great doing interviews. And I mean that 100% as a compliment. Gene Okerlund was a very mediocre commentator but was brilliant as the event centre/interview guy. Frankly, why woud I want to hear Renee commentate even if she had freedom? What would she bring to the able? Certainly no PBP pedigree. However, she's a brilliant facilitator (or a least very good), so why waste those talents?

The duo of Jim Ross and Paul Heyman was the best wrestling announcing tandem of all-time. Their work together in 2001 was amazing.

The Undertaker and WWE could be on the verge of a split.

Paul Davis of WrestlingNews.co noted the Deadman recently removed all mention of WWE from his social media profiles. Undertaker is expected to be absent from WrestleMania for the first time in 19 years.
Undertaker is clearly AEW
