Oh shit. NJPW wants ReDRagon full time. If I were KOR, I'd jump on that. That is, if he doesn't go over at Final Battle.

 

Smith Hart is a piece of shit. He's complaining about Seth when he tried to get David Benoit to wrestle an event without any proper training.

How Chris Jericho Prevented Chris Benoit's Son David From Wrestling

 

For a guy who harps on Bret being injured by a shitty wrestler, he doesn't seem to have hesitated on that one. Gross.

 

Fuck Smith Hart.

 

What an unusual promo. Hahaha.

 

I wonder what this means for PPV's.


"Backlash only drew 7,000 fans, and that was with a lot of papering around town in the days before the show. There were reports of tickets being given away at night clubs as well as outside a Comic book convention the day before the show. In addition, for the first time in recent history, a WWE PPV show didn’t crack the No. 20 searches for that day"

-Meltzer, last WON

 

The Briscoes are the most underrated promo in wrestling

 

They are definitely great. It's just so funny to me that they are from Delaware. I don't associate those types of people with Delaware at all. lol

 

From what I understand there is a large cultural and political division in Delaware alot of people are not aware of. Northern Delaware is more urban, white collar, and culturally associated with the liberal northeast, while Southern Delaware is more rural, agricultural, and culturally associated with the conservative south.

 

I hate the briscoes, just can't Separate their awful views from their great wrestling skills anymore.

 

The brand split will end in January if not sooner. My guess is they'll try to jack up smackdown and see if that helps, which is definitely will. The roster really doesn't have enough to be excited about.

 

I'll be there Saturday night, front row!

 

Bryan as GM is surprisingly bad. And I think the main reason why is because it seems like he should still be wrestling. He just doesn't look or act like he's ready to be done.

 

I think that SD has a better roster than RAW.

 

what?

 

i cant see the WWE eating crow and admitting defeat so fast. Honestly, nothing would make me happier, but i can't see it.

 

I think SD does more with what they've given, but I don't think the roster is better.

 

Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic returns. 16 Teams. Finals at Takeover: Toronto.

 

Where the hell are they getting 16 tag teams?

 

They made random teams last year, so a lot of it will probably be that again

 

Ha, just went back and looked, it was 16 last year too. Didn't seem like that many.

To be fair though, NXT's tag division a year ago was a lot stronger. Right now, they have what, 4 teams? Authors of Pain, The Revival, TM-61 and DIY.

 

I just realized that this thread might be in the top three in this entire site in terms of post count. It's at least in the top five. The only thread with more posts are the General Forum Chat thread and the Blink 182 thread as far as I can tell.

 

Wikipedia lists 21 guys on the NXT roster that aren't house show folks. So gonna have to get a lot of house show/CWC guys included too, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

 

Roode/Aries team please

 

Two tag teams I've been seeing alot at NXT house shows lately are Tucker Knight & Niko Bogojevic as a hossy tough guy babyface team and Sawyer Fulton & Alexander Wolfe as a cartoony Mad Max-ish heel team.

Also with NXT teams let's not forget Angelo Dawkins & Kenneth Crawford. Love me some Curse of Greatness.
