Those belts look like they have a strong odor
That's a very street-wearable shirt too.
Is it because no one will know its a wrestling shirt because no one knows who the fuck EC3 is?
Does she know nobody watches those?
On the other hand I thought Dillinger did well with his pre-match promo.
I think they could have revised that WM 33 ad after this past weekend, advertising WM in "a magical place where anything can happen" then zooming in on Orlando.

Data as on the Jeff Cobb train early when they announced that he was going to be The Monster Matanza Cueto. In honor of Lucha Underground tonight, I checked out Jeff Cobb vs. Adam Thornstowe from SPW's 16th Anniversary show earlier this year. If you want to see Cobb in a longer match than his character will allow in Lucha Underground, this is the match to see. He survives a Super Dragon-style ghetto stomp and shows off his own athleticism and incredible power.
Look at this!

To be fair, nobody's watching Raw and Smackdown, either.
Oh my god that first gif. What the fuck.
It doesn't help that there is a lot of uncertainty over what NXT will be like a year from now. Fans are getting restless for Balor's graduation to the main roster. No one knows how many will get called up for the brand split. Everyone's afraid of how Bayley will be handled if she ever moves up to the main shows. The PC has developed very few stars who hadn't already made their name elsewhere. Creative has taken a big hit ever since Ryan Ward's writing duties moved to Smackdown and Dusty died. There's even an identity crisis over whether it's priority should be as a developmental or a third brand.
I don't want to be all doom and gloom about NXT because I do still enjoy it at the current state it's in. It is awesome seeing what known talent they bring in next. The show last night was a lot of fun and the Takeovers still deliver.

Poor Debbie, didn't she talk about it during the Chris Benoit situation?

Pretty solid interview with Kenny Omega on the Ross Report
Perhaps they should have listened to the lyrics of Real American.
They can say all they want but when you put out Hugo Knox, Peyton Royce, No Way Jose and Nia Jax out on tour, you are still developmental (The Aries/Jose match was very close to coming apart at the seams at certain points, as was the women's tag).
All those names have potential but they need a lot of work as is so they can spout off as much as they want about it being a third brand but its still developmental in essence and will become even more so after the big callups. Which will doubly hurt the brands identity crisis as they scramble to get more indie talents to fill the gaps, making NXT even more of a super indie rather than a place characters get made like the 4 Horsewomen, Sami, Tyler, Tye, Alpha etc.
NXT is definitely in a very awkward place right now.

It's gone, who was it?
Fake Edit: Never mind Google answered the question for me, it was Sasha.
IIRC she was trotted out to talk about roid rage.
Peyton Royce has been wrestling for like six or seven years, she's not like the other three there who started training at the PC, she needs to be given something to actually work with and help develop a personality, she and Billie Kay (whose already been at this for like nine years) should be partners as they have been at some events since they're from the same place and went to the same high school.
Honestly I probably wouldn't hate NXT getting an additional 15-30 minutes, is NXT still on TV anywhere? It was in the UK last I checked.
I could not give two fucks about what Vince's evil final goal is, if I enjoy something I'll just pay for it and watch it, and I'll stop doing it the moment I'm no longer able to enjoy their product, but not because I want to "send them a message", but because I won't be interested in it anymore.
I'm sure Brock doesn't know 99% of the WWE roster either tbh
I've seen her entire NXT run and man does she not come off like this is a fact at all. Yikes.

Rewatching No Way Out 2004, Lesnar in full on heel mode cutting a promo on Eddie Guerrero describing him as being like an illegal immigrant come to steal American jobs. Great match as well, I really miss Eddie.
With Trump running around pissing minorities off and generally being a racist asshole, this angle feels quite relevant despite how long ago this was.

Joe Hendry should sing this version at ICW.
Better hope that Trump isn't on Gaf... He'll write that shit up straight away.

One of his supporters has already passed it on and Trump has a fourth rate country singer recording a studio version as we speak.

That's fine, but people should stop acting like booing Roman Reigns at sold out PPV's is going to change the booking.

Not like she's had a ton to work with. She's still only 23 so there's time for her to get better.

Right, she linked the uses of steroids and substance abuse to his possible death. She gave something saying Austin abused her three times, gee wiz. I just want to know what was going on in his head at this time.

Jimmy Rave vs. Kyle Matthews from NWA Smoky Mountain's Smokey Mountain Cup is another fine match between the two. It's a very different taste of wrestling than Jeff Cobb vs. Adam Thornstowe, but it's a very solid southern independent style wrestling match. Matthews is a little smaller than he was last year, and the production from NWA Smoky Mountain is a lot better than Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment's.

Adding to this current athletes who would make good wrestlers.
Daniel Cormier
Fabricio Werdum - natural charisma, trollface smile - goofy heel
Ben Rothwell
Elias Samson looks so weird in this photo, like, where's his scarf.
I'm sure I've said this before, but I love Bo Jackson. So bad ass.

Guys im marking out so hard for the new Zelda
Irish folks in the thread could attest to Roy Keane being a GOAT promo and amazing character that would fit right into wrestling.
Not excusing Steve at all - don't beat your fucking wife full stop. But the times I've heard him speak on it was towards the end of his WWF run he was "wound up real tight", drinking heavily, drugs probably, stretched thin by being on top of the most insane/arduous period of wrestling in history. Thus like a REAL MAN instead of talking out the problems or going to see someone about them or go on medication he decided to get some physical activity by beating his wife.

Man's not afraid to go into business for himself either - that tackle on Haaland was a definite shoot.
- In 2002 Stone Cold walked out of WWF due to frustration with his working environment and management.
- In 2002 Roy Keane walked out of the Irish World Cup squad due to frustration with his working environment and management.
It looks so fucking fun

Fuck, no woman deserves that and Austin was still a pretty cut guy too. It's so crazy because on TV you'd see behaviour between the two characters that would have you believe he got stuck into his role on tv too much.
Yeah, the insanity of the time had to get to him.When you are out there playing the 90s version of a "Man's man" every night of the week, its gotta seep back over into your regular self.
Lucky he didn't end up like a Flair or something, seems like he is in a very happy and committed relationship and has evened out.
