Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 1159

That's probably the most anyone has written about NXT on here in years.

 

Roxanne has to be the one to beat Mandy

 

IIRC, wraps like that ain't cheap.

WWE still has some with talent they fired years ago.

 

Just checked out the men’s iron survivor match, that ruled.

 

Big night for Waller fans (me)

 

Watching Deadline now. Really enjoyed the women’s Iron Survivor match. Kiana has quickly become another one to watch.

 

New Day vs. Pretty Deadly rocked.

The men’s Iron Survivor match was a whole lot of fun too. The match concept seemed clunky at first but they both went pretty smoothly.

 

This is the correct answer. They rewrapped the production trucks after Cody left, probably in part because they no longer had the rights to display Cody Rhodes the wrestler...not the case with CM Punk currently regardless of if he's gone or not.

I know just sprinter van wraps are like $5k...gotta imagine a full production truck is more. And I believe WWE is rocking like 15 trucks + their TV truck, satellite truck, and generator truck...so, if he's on a bunch of those, you only rewrap it when he's outright released.

 

They should just figure it out and bring Punk back

 

"look phil, you're already on the truck, you might as well come back"

 

There was a time that I remember seeing a WWE truck that had like 3 people that had been released

 

I mean, the money is there, but the dude is toxic. And it seems that he's kind of infected others, if FTR Bald's shady Twitter posts are any indication.

 

I guess I’m more so surprised the truck wraps with him on there still exist since he “left” in such a bad manner. Not a typical “wrestler gets released” situation. And not sure how many trucks AEW has but like, Tony of course has money, he could easily swap them out if he wanted.

What they should do and surprised they and WWE haven’t, is you have the background as one wrap and the wrestler as another so in this case you’d just have to swap out the part that had Punk on it, not the whole thing. I know that’s what a former company I worked for did. Was a bit of a “find and replace” and there would be someone that made sure the backgrounds all matched up, but we had like 7-8 products (not wrestlers since I didn’t work for a wrestling promotion) that we could interchangeably switch or cover up if needed.

 

I have tried with NXT for a couple of months and can not get into the current roster.

 

Jamie Noble wrestled at a live show

 

Aw was hoping for a return

 

He’s not wrong

 

I thought Jericho tapping to the swing was totally awesome. Very unexpected and cool finish.

 

Agreed, although I couldn't really see what had happened from my seat, I kind of thought it was just "referee stoppage" not actually tapping out

 

I wonder if the plan was simply he'd just start tapping whenever Claudio couldn't go any longer? Also, I hate when crowds count time and not rotations.
