Slow down
Better? It is really starting to feel like the early 90s again and there's not a WCW to push them thanks to Tony treating AFW as a way to fantasy book his adolescent desires.

My wife (no pics) and I had it on Wednesday night. She doesn't listen to Cornette/Dave/anyone on YT (so no negative outside bias). Her reaction was "this is terrible" during the Okada-Jungle Jack match.

Wrestling is cyclical. NXT was horrible when they started 2.0. It's taken nearly half a decade but it's now solidly behind the WWE main roster as the #2 brand. I'm sure WWE will have a resurgence when the roster is filled with more than a handful of 2.0 talent. Don't forget that TKO trashed house shows and has priced families out of events. They're stuck with Netflix RAW having to be the "A" show, SD back to cable, and NXT as the only program on network TV.

I mean it’s fine to not have a next chapter. His whole thing has been never giving up though. That just went out the window right at the end for no reason. Just have him pass out.
This. He should have lost this match...I don't think that's where the anger is from. It's the "never give up" mantra just being thrown out in the final seconds. Cena should have passed out. The final 5 minutes of being in a rest holds just to tap out is right up there with #17 coming from interference by a rapper Dwayne sent. They seemed to get some momentum back after the abysmal WM but pissed it all away. Paul only makes it worse by acting like he could care less what the fans think.

2025 is going to be viewed as the year professional wrestling in the US died. Announcing WM for NOLA then switchingback to Vegas. Letting Dwayne do whatever he wants which ended in a shitty WM. Putting the Rumble in the fricking middle east. Not having tonight's show at either MSG or in Boston.

Cena deserved so much more from this farewell tour and the fans are rightfully pissed at Paul for managing the completely screw up what should have been an easily booked tour. In the end he tapped to a guy who didn't need the rub.

TBF, how they got Miz, Truth, and Hendry on the show was brilliant. The standout NXT performer was Sol Ruca. Lash may have the rocket strapped to her for Jade's title but Sol will be in the IC title picture the minute she's on RAW full time.
These Postshow guys need to check the temperature in the room. Talk about fricking clueless and spreading Paul's humongous pile of cowshit....
TKO has managed to run WWE into the ground faster than they did it with UFC.

Crazy it's over after this.
No kidding. He debuted a few weeks after Mrs Dawg and I got married. My kids were born and entered adulthood during his career. But somehow he has added hair in the past year while I've rapidly lost it.
quote:

Is he or is he not signed to TNA? Stop the crawfishing dude.
He's under NXT contract. Nice way to out yourself idiot.
Crazy... the man who counted 3 on Takers stream is going to count 3 on Cena's career. Talk about having a front seat to history.
I've warmed to Hendry's act.

They need to give Cena the farewell ceremony they gave Flair in Orlando.

They're on AMC now.
I didn't think that was until January???
Way too much time left. Is this them leaving plenty of extra time (so a rushed Goldberg situation isn't repeated) or is there a surprise? Rock forcing his way on to try to rewrite the history of the ridiculous WM/Cena heel turn.
quote:

I've listened to a little of the Michelle McCool and some dead guy podcast and its her over valuing herself.
This was just after three two of them pushed Mickie James off LFG. People were pissed about that but the podcast thing threw napalm all over the backlash. (WWE in this case = Fanatics monopolistic bullshite)
quote:

Dolph Ziggler was on RAW in the Last Time is Now tournament and he’s signed to TNA.
They brought in two ex-WWE guys. Aside from using Hendry at Mania as a glorified jobber there hasn't been a pure "TNA guy" on TV.

Of course it's just a matter of time until they make the merger official. (Guessing after the next TNA TV deal is signed.)
Safe to say AJ wins "Botch of the Night"?

They're not doing "farewell NXT" call-ups anymore. It's now more of a "soft opening" style. They will now slowly transition to the main roster.

This isn’t true.
Seriously TRC? (Nice alter btw.)

Even setting aside tonight they've had several NXT wrestlers on main roster shows months ago and they're still in NXT. Lash wrestled on the main roster before the last round of cuts, wrestled Nia in NXT last spring, and was first moved to full time a month ago. Je-von has also wrestled a few times. Sol has now wrestled on the main roster at least 3 times (twice while holding NXT gold). Do you think these people are picked randomly? This whole night has been a "soft debut" for most of these wrestlers.

quote:

Many NXT stars like Je'Von Evans, Sol Ruca, and Zaria have already wrestled a couple of matches on the main roster before officially making the move. Some other names wrestling fans expect to get the call-up soon include Oba Femi, Ricky Saints, Trick Williams, Jordynne Grace, and Tony D’Angelo.

She has 100% ruined Takers podcast. shite isn't even worth listening to anymore.
Without a doubt. The fact that she has gotten obnoxious about it does you her true self.

Never thought I'd see a TNA wrestler on a main roster show.
quote:

I don't remember WWE doing all this for Undertaker's retirement.
It was during Covid. They brought all of the BSK into the PC. Don't forget his last match was a "cinematic match" a month into the lockdowns.
Since it'll come up...

They're not doing "farewell NXT" call-ups anymore. It's now more of a "soft opening" style. They will now slowly transition to the main roster.

Did the really boo Mrs Taker!???
