The Wrestling Thread~

Just getting around actually watching NXT: so this is the second time in the last three months or so that the loser a blood feud in the women's division got a title put on her, and the winner of the blowoff got... ???
 
I can't believe they wasted Jacob's return on that bull****.
If Cody actually bothers putting him over, a feud with Cody probably isn’t the worst thing for Jacob’s career. But what I don’t need to see is him being the first challenger to Drew and laying down in a token match at the Royal Rumble or something.
 
OTM getting the Joe Hendry rub. Meanwhile Booker T is apparently in love with Joe Hendry and I still don’t understand Dark State.
 
TIL (and if this was previously discussed in this thread, I offer my sincerest apologies for completely missing it) that Brinley Reece (formerly of NXT "fame") is a fellow "Rosevillain", Woodcreek graduate, and Sacramento State graduate.
 

“Sorry fellas, Trick and Oba and Je’Von got called up so we’re at our black guy quota. Have you checked out our new catering spread though?”

Dude’s have been stale for years. They’ve tried multiple different directions with them, but they always just are still the same old street profits. Like, pairing them with Lashley as a New Hurt Business could have been something. An evolution, they’re more serious now. Wear suits and show a new side. Nope, they were just The Profits still.

Ford’s especially frustrating because he has all the physical talent in the world. Just have never been able to get behind him as a major character.

They're just waiting for the next big call up to the main roster. So they can be paired with this fool.

Finally watched Smackdown:
  • Drew McIntyre is dripping with wack juice, and he can't get it off. He is to me what Kofi is to @SLAB.
  • Like I said last week, I hate Jacob being brought back for this angle: I'm not willing to be suckered into thinking that they're going to put the belt on him, which makes this a waste of a return.
  • I like Cody, but if they **** around and let him win the Rumble three years in a row...
  • Hayes/Slater was good.
  • Guilia is being wasted on this bull****.
  • I dug how they let Nakamura do all his lines in Japanese. I don't care that I don't speak Japanese, and I don't even know if Blud does (I hate to have to admit this, but I can't tell Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa apart), I liked how he reacted as though he did, anyway.
  • Dragunov/Zayn was good.
  • I already hate this Jordynne/Jade feud, and I love both women. I thought that the point of taking the US Title back off of Chelsea was so that she would be Jade's next challenger. As it is, my two favorite women on the main roster are getting shotgunned into a feud against each other, and neither of them can afford a loss. I hate this.
Everything else was just sort of there.
 
Good with the Nattie heel turn if they actually do something with it beyond a match with Maxxine at The Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber
