ah yeah that’s a good point, who do you think it is then? Also is Gargano injured?

#404

Yeah Gargano has a neck injury I believe which led to them switching Balor’s attention to Riddle.

Options seem to be Velveteen Dream (pretty sure still injured too), KUSHIDA (potentially the same) or someone defecting from the main roster. I’ve seen rumours of who that could be but don’t want to spoil it if that’s the way it goes.

Kevin Owens?

#406

Indeed. Seems like quite a good fit. Really stalled at the moment through a baffling lack of direction for him after quite a heavy push earlier in the year.

Oh, another possibility could be John Morrison. Rumours he had signed with the E and then he has disappeared off everyone else’s radar seemingly.

#408

yeah he was like burgeoning on top babyface at one point earlier in the year, wha happun?! Tri’s pomo to him on Raw last week was excellent (only good thing about that car crash of an episode), it would make a lot of sense for him to make the jump (can play into SS too)

oh yeah! I forgot about that

Fits the opponents for War Games too given they jumped him. Easy new title feud afterwards. And gives more star power to NXT for their not a Wendnesday night war.

would be good if everyone is expecting him but then it’s actually viktor from the ascension

Or Road Dogg.

lol, saw ol’ Jessie James jumping on that bandwagon last week. I will say though, even if the DX tank/jeep thing isn’t anywhere near as cool as they think it is, the visual of a masked Finn Balor riding on the bonnet staring right into the camera was a fucking cool visual.

#414

might have had this convo before, but i think road dogg could be my least favourite professional wrestler of all time (out of the ones who aren’t murderers etc at least)

#415

Oh you didn’t know?

#416

remember watching a shoot where he was dragging bret for always doing the same comeback. buddy, your whole career was based on doing the exact same promo, wind it in

Completely agree with you, the women’s Wargames was amazing, men’s as well.

What did you think of the solo matches?

#419

Io Shirai is the best wrestler in wwe. Not just women’s, she’s better than everyone

triple threat was pretty good but way too long. balor riddle was fine i guess, just a standard balor match (not much of a fan of his tbh).

bit shit that cole has to wrestle tonight, should be selling that bump for weeks afterwards. hopefully he comes out with the ddp rib tape or something.

women’s division is really interesting now, they did a great job setting up future angles last night

#421

Yeah, I didn’t think the dynamics of the match really worked for the triple threat. Damian Priest has a great look, but I don’t think he’s quite there yet. Still not a fan of Riddle either and you’re right, with everything else on the PPV, it just didn’t stand out.

That Cole bump was insane! Can’t believe a lot of the NXT top talent are having to go tonight after the matches they put on.

Indeed, they’re making Ripley into a star and she totally has the look for it. I know that NXT is now the third brand, but do you think they stepping up Bazler to come onto Raw or Smackdown?

#422

assume priest will be called up soonish (after mania maybe?), vinny mac loves a big lad doesn’t he. think he’s pretty decent, but yeah, not quite the finished article yet

rhea is gonna be such a star. looked great last night and on smackdown the night before (great finish to that match too).

shayna deffo should be moving up soon. could’ve called her up a while back but it would’ve left nxt a bit shorthanded, don’t think that’s the case now.
