AtariLegend Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I still can't believe that this guy is spending a 2nd year in WWE developmental instead of on the main card at Wrestlemania working a match with Cena. https://rutube.ru/video/0b7a3d52020e9abcc792798a8d32c156/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shin will have his day on the main roster. He's in a group of guys that work NXT but don't actually train at the PC (Joe was in that crew too, as is Roode). He's "in developmental" for reasons beyond his ability (most likely to help train the young'ns). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) There's no logical reason for him to be in NXT. Headlining house shows in front of a few hundred people is ridiculous for someone who had headlined 3 Tokyo Dome shows more than a decade ago. House shows in small buildings aren't indicative of drawing ability. He's now in his late 30's. He probably won't be around for a decade. It's such a waste. It was a waste to for Devitt and Joe to spend years there too. In other news; for those that didn't watch the New Beginning's main event; NJPW just got another 5 star rating from Meltzer.

luciusfunk Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'd rather see the cruiserweight title in a multi-man ladder match than the US or IC. Can't wait to see Gallagher's umbrella spot from the top of the ladder onto five to seven other wrestlers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Impact had to blur the referee in the Hardys vs Psychosis/Super Crazy match for the Crash tag titles because the ref (most likely Marty Elias) is under contract with AAA/Lucha Underground.

luciusfunk Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Barring Russo, Arquette, and Vince, who is the worst WWE/WCW champion of all time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) Jack Swagger for the modern era. Ziggler/The Great Khali had a fairly terrible reign, but Swagger was just ridiculous from the get go. Bryan had 2/3 fairly bad reigns, but that was more down to silly booking. Mysterio was a disastrous champion, again more due to booking; the fans still treated him like a star. Bryan and Mysterio didn't almost kill the company. Reigns was a disaster as a draw, but not as bad as Nash. Nash was famously the worst draw of 90's as Diesel. WWF almost crashed and burned with him pre Attitude era. I won't count the 80's/70's stuff, since they all had to be stars to hold it. As for WCW; It's harder to say. The likes of Bret Hart, DDP, The Big Show and almost everyone you remember from WCW held the title then passed it around every few weeks or days. There were alot of terrible reigns; again see Nash and sadly Flair. Steiner was the champion when they went out of business, but it's not his fault. Benoit maybe? Won the title, then within 24 hours quit and went to WWF. Seems the obvious choice. Edited February 17, 2017 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 For WCW I was thinking Jeff Jarrett. I'd forgotten about Khali. Was Diesel really that bad? I don't really remember. I'm reading old Observers and they're talking about putting the belt back on Nash because Backlund was such a terrible champion. I don't remember Swagger's reign (probably why you think he was the worst lol), but I think I might say Del Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 (edited) House show attendance bombed under Diesel. He was infamous for being a disaster as a draw, despite the long reign. Diesel only had 1 run btw, it was after beating Backlund. Those used to be called the dark days. The company barely made the attitude era. As for Jarret, it really could be said for any number of the WCW guys. Though in Jarret's check box, is that he was never a star. He was a midcarder who got the title because of people like Russo.

luciusfunk Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Diesel only had one run? I thought he beat Bret Hart for the title once. Maybe I'm getting mixed up with Survivor Series when Bret won the title with a roll up and Diesel went crazy on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 This was the last time the top title changed hand at a house show? He held it for almost a year before dropping it to Hart at Survivor Series. Who would have thought the make Nash look strong era would turn out to be such a disaster?

AtariLegend Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 If Devit actually passes a medical or has, then put him against A.J. There's absolutely no need for Shane to be working Styles. If Shane wants to wrestle, turn the Big Show/Shaq match into a triple threat and put it as a dark match before the pre show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming he's passed a medical. I have tickets to one of the live events and got an email that Finn Balor has been added. I checked the website and he's there too.

And it also abandons any comeback storyline with the Universal title they could throw Finn in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some rumours out there for a brand vs brand match (Finn vs Aj) ? Who knows. Edited February 18, 2017 by PsychoKiss344 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
