As a SNK2, shouldn't you be all about unfair bosses?

Meanwhile, on the house show circuit without Bryan in Jacksonville FL....

Obviously settling for Roman because they knew Bryan wasn't there

I'm sure the WWE ain't complaining one bit that they've got two major babyfaces who are so over with so many people.

SOUNDS like THERE might HAVE been SOME issues WITH THEIR shift KEY.

Sledgehammers are harder than stone, but shovels are even harder. Think about it.

I just don't buy what Del Rio is saying in terms of money.

 

[Heroman]

Meanwhile, on the house show circuit without Bryan in Jacksonville FL....

House shows are dumb.

 

[Gonzalez]

I just don't buy what Del Rio is saying in terms of money.

I can sort of believe it. He's a former world champion, featured star of a major promotion, built in fan base, and is still in terrific shape. So I'm sure he's getting real good money just to pop the attendance number for a rinky dink promotion. Now if he were JTG that would be an entirely different story.

House shows are more representative of the audience than a smark crowd in Philly. #heeltown

Jacksonville hasen't meant shit to the U.S. since the Civil War.

Between LU, AAA,ROH and a outstanding offer from bellator dude is getting paid. Would not be sot used to see him in new japan.

Isn't he from Florida? Or is that just made up, I don't know.

WWE's business model: Now, Then, Forever.

That's awesome to get two top tier babyfaces rolling. I could see the Northwest being Bryan's region since he's from there, while Florida etc is totally Roman's since he's from there.

 

[Cagey]

Sure. Hell they have five over faces with Ziggler and Ambrose and Cena too. But one part of the crowd wants only three of five to be popular.

WWE ain't the only problem.

But are house show for family while wwe main audience is grown man in there 30s, also I dont care who they cheer I just think have these dude wrestle all time time dumb.

Hideo Itami confirmed on twitter that he is facing Tyler Breeze on NXT Rivals. So this is the card:

NXT Title Match:
Champion Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens

NXT Women’s Title Match:
Champion Charlotte vs. Bayley vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch

#1 Contender’s Match:
Adrian Neville vs. Finn Balor

NXT Tag Team Title Match:
Champions Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy vs. Lucha Dragons

Baron Corbin vs. Bull Dempsey

Itami vs Breeze

Card is stacked. Don't know if they can give all these matches the time they need. Plus will there be time for a Solomon Crowe debut?

He's not debuting. Plus Bull Dempsey's match will be no more than three minutes. Sami and Kevin only 10-12 minutes. Sucks Mojo has been taken off tv. Only mystery will be how Fastlane will top this.....

Cena is a heel.

Cesaro is the true babyface

Any update on the WWE.com poll?

 

[Gonzalez]

Let's be honest here, this report is probably from a plant. Most likely Brock fan, or maybe "Brie calls Steph a bitch" guy.

 

[lovely ladies]

Think it's been taken down due to rogue WWE universe shenanigans.

I suppose if they cut down on the video packages and without the extended post-match celebration they could still give the 3 main matches plenty of time. Crowe will probably turn up during one of the lower card matches as well rather than having his own separate thing as he'll likely be debuting as a heel and starting a feud with Itami or Kalisto.

No vaudevillens?

Nah. Let's see...

Zayn/Owens: 15-20 mins
Balor/Neville: 13-17 mins
Women's F4W: 10-15 mins
Itami/Breeze: 7-12 mins
Tag titles: 7-10 mins
Bull/Corbin: 6-8 mins
promos/entrances: ~20 mins

Still have some time for a Crowe debut.

 

[Heroman]

No vaudevillens?

Good, vaudevillens are fucking lame.

 

[Alucard]

Good, vaudevillens are fucking lame.

This is a factual statement.

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol they have unlimited time for the special. They own the damn network.

 

[UberTag]

I just don't buy what Del Rio is saying in terms of money.

I buy everything Alberto is saying about the cash.
Meltzer has more or less reaffirmed that all of the non-A+ player talent is getting paid dogshit compared to their pre-Network days.
The loss of PPV bonuses, DVD sales revenue, lower merch sales (most of the fodder talent has a handful of items at best)... it just makes sense.

Meltzer has also confirmed that Alberto is raking in the dough. Not every WWE castoff would enjoy his success but given his notoriety, Latino heritage and workrate, it's understandable.

I just think he's wrong about them all being "miserable". Haven't heard that from anyone reliable. Money isn't everything and the truly miserable like Justin Gabriel will leave.

 

[Ithil]

Nah. Let's see...

Zayn/Owens: 15-20 mins
Balor/Neville: 13-17 mins
Women's F4W: 10-15 mins
Itami/Breeze: 7-12 mins
Tag titles: 7-10 mins
Bull/Corbin: 6-8 mins
promos/entrances: ~20 mins

Still have some time for a Crowe debut.

I would guess:

Zayn/Owens: 20 mins
Balor/Neville: 15-20 mins
Women's F4W: 10-13 mins
Itami/Breeze: 7-12 mins
Tag titles: 6-8 mins
Bull/Corbin: 3-5 mins
promos/entrances: ~25 mins
Post match stuff: 10 minutes

They finished up about 10 minutes early last time, so probably they'll finish before the two hours is up.

 

[Fox318]

I like the vaudevilles 😞

 

[UberTag]

I like the vaudevilles ��

Only folks who frown on being FnP hate the Vaudevillains.

 

[dream]

For the sake of storytelling, am I wrong in thinking that Sam Zayn vs. Kevin Owens should be a 2 minute squash where Owens destroys the champ and wins the belt?

 

[lovely ladies]

I like the vaudevilles 😞

Maybe they'll have a third member soon.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

I didn't have much of an opinion about the Vaudevillains until they started doing the Vaudevillain pictures segments. Those were great.

 

[Kaladin]

While I enjoy The Vaudevillians gimmick, it reminds me of a rejected Chikara gimmick.

 

[Fox318]

Will metsfan be right about the gay hairdresser gimmick?

 

[Alucard]

That NXT card looks phenomenal and potential show of the year material. It reads like a stacked ROH card.

great card, but i do wish it had another few weeks of build

Maybe they'll have a third member soon.

Solomon Crowe

Rival looks fantastic, my new most anticipated match is the Tyler/Hideo match and Finn's entrance. I hope Sasha finally gets the strap this time.

 

[slightconfuse]

Because new japan world can't market

Here is a preview for Neville/Balor

Yep. Marchie Archie, you can go to hell.

Lol. And where is Marcher Archer now? I haven't anything about him since the avatar debacle.

 

[Cagey]

For the sake of storytelling, am I wrong in thinking that Sam Zayn vs. Kevin Owens should be a 2 minute squash where Owens destroys the champ and wins the belt?

Agreed. Owens being the brawling heel monster... who's chasing the face he can never beat is bizarre.

 

[Mengetsu]

Catching up on NJPW on AXS and my god I can't get enough of the commentary. It feels good feel like your one with the matches due to the way they talk about the style and the moves. I can't wait for NXT Rival as well. Good time in wrestling.

 

[Jimmy King]

I think it makes sense for Owens to win and for their feud to be cut short so it can have some legs on the main roster. That's in an ideal world, of course.
