Wrestling Thread 6: It's Poppy • Page 208

Wait, so is WWE airing what would have been NXT TakeOver the night before Mania on USA tonight?

 

They're doing matches over the next two weeks. So tonight and next week

 

Tonight is Lee vs Dijakovic vs Priest and a battle royal for the last spot in the women's ladder match. Takeover matches are next week I believe

 

Gauntlet match not battle royal ^

 

lemme watch NXT on mute now

 

That sucks

 

Why the hell does he call himself the last professional broadcaster. That is the worst name ever, not to mention there’s still plenty others and will always be more

 

That's the joke. He made it up cos all the hosts of radio shows and podcasts were comedians and celebrities so he wanted to stand out as if he was a serious big shot "professional broadcaster". I think he's funny tbh. (Fully prepared for responses to this being "Found Sam's account". haha)

 

I used to listen to his podcast for a few years. Was enjoyable enough. Don’t really hate him or anything but also don’t have a desire to check out his stuff anymore

 

Yeah I used to like his interviews on his pod but I fell off listening too for some reason. He always asks good questions. He'd be better off doing interviews rather than his heel shtick but it's probably more fun being a dick.

 

Ugh, Sam Roberts on commentary. Gagggg.

nothing weirder than hearing UE’s music with no pop

 

Sam Roberts is a rejected Jim Henson puppet. HE STINKS

 

I worry they're gonna screw this up and have it be Cody v Archer in the finals, since thats the feud theyve set up.

Darby v Archer would be awesome

 

I hate Sam Roberts more than Michael Cole

 

I took a pic with Sam Roberts after Mania 32. We were staying in the same hotel. He looked like he wanted to die. Granted it was like 1:30am and we had both been in a stadium since like 2pm.

 

Archer beating up all of the inner circle would be a fun way of getting him built up quick tbh

 

Man Schiavone was ROUGH tonight on Dynamite. JR levels of bad.

Let’s just turn live brand new Wrestling off for 2 months. I’ve got loads of backlog matches I’ve never seen to watch as it is.

 

Surprised they had Darby eat a pin. From Shawn Spears of all people. And then he attacked Cody. Didn’t think you’d want one of the young up and coming faces attacking the #2 face. I know it wasn’t a heel turn.

dynamite wasn’t that great. I think the Kenny/Trent match went too long. The only match I enjoyed was Shida’s.

Also Shawn Spears is definitely not as toned as he was last time we saw him. Not body shaming though because never in a million years would I have a body close to his... just looks like he’s bulking up

 

True

Didn’t know the second half of the bracket tho, seems like it’ll definitely be to push archer

 

HHH saying parts of Mania will be live.

 

I watched Sam Roberts ditch his pregnant wife at SummerSlam one year so he could go sit closer to ringside.

 

It was for his job. He’s a professional

 

It was because he was pissed all night long that he was seated 15 rows up instead of front row, ringside.
