If that's not how the either get the belt off Roman, or turn Roman face which will make it a lot easier to get the belt off of him, then I will be hugely disappointed. Roman vs. Cody? PUHLEEZE.
I don't buy Cody kayfabe taking it off him in a one on one match.You want Roman to hold the belt for another year? Because there's no way that match would happen before WM39. And if Cody doesn't win the belt between now and Mania, then his return to the E was totally pointless.
Leave it to the WWE to ruin careers with a name change...
Report: Two NXT Superstars Getting A Name Change
No one in the WWE had/has the ability to come up with a better name for either? Heck, I can probably spend 5 minutes and come up with 10+ names for EACH...
Meh to that. While it may be mostly true that they didn't let wrestlers use their real names, apart from obvious exceptions like John Cena, Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton (and less obvious ones, like Mickie James, Jillian Hall and Johnny Gargano), there's tons of precedent for them allowing wrestlers to use names that they brought from outside of WWE: WWE certainly didn't create CM Punk, Mercedes Martinez, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Beth Phoenix or Roderick Strong. This is about Vince wanting to have total control over a wrestler's character, so that they can't go outside of WWE and make money off that character. Which I think (and I believe most of us would agree) is bull****.It is crap but WWE never lets folks wrestle with their real name.
KLR's new ring name is indeed (allegedly) supposed to be Gaelic for "Scottish Fire," which is still stupid, but she's good enough to make it work. Katana Chance is just plain stupid, full stop.Apparently Alba is Gaelic for Scottish? I saw that somewhere, don't know if true.
I guess what I should have said is it's apparently a big no-no right now that he's not letting folks do it. He certainly has allowed it for more established stars and for legacies (but then turned around and tried to keep Cody from the Rhodes name) and he's stuck a Steiner legacy with one of the stupidest names ever. It's annoying and dumb and it's stupider when they have been around for 2-3 years and he does this.Meh to that.

I was pretty wrapped up in the rockabilly revival scene in the 00s. So as stupid as a greaser gimmick was in the WWE Universe, I actually was all in. I don't have the energy to do the pompadour thing anymore but I'll be buried in my rocker jacket.Don't lie. You actually DID NOT like Deuce and Domino...You claim to have liked them because you actually liked

I hear you. There have been some EXTREMELY cheesy gimmicks over the years that actually suckered me all the way in. One that instantly comes to mind is/was Eugene. Very cheesy, but highly effective.I was pretty wrapped up in the rockabilly revival scene in the 00s. So as stupid as a greaser gimmick was in the WWE Universe, I actually was all in.

Is it just me, or is anyone else annoyed when storylines (primarily those on NXT) are put on, what seems to be, a bi-weekly schedule? For example, they seem to schedule some sort of an angle involving Cora Jade and Toxic Attraction one week, and then either, or both, get some promo time the week after. And then, nothing happens during week 3. And, finally, they resume their storyline in week 4, hoping that the casual WWE/NXT fan actually remembers what took place way back in week 1.
and if it was possible that match was safe, Cody says hold my beer, because my right pec is detached, but I'm gonna work tonight anyways.this JAS/Blackpool Combat Club match was insane.
Tough. I think he needs a break for two or three months. Apparently he thinks so too, but he's proving something to someone.
