Conor Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wade Barrett too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 (edited) So far Barrett is the only one I'm sad about. WWE didn't have a clue what to do with him. Edit: Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Sandow is gone too! Edited May 6, 2016 by username 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Original_RK Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sandow, Barrett, and Santino.... all more over than Roman Reigns. The company really failed Sandow and Barrett. Especially Barrett, since his BNB gimmick was actually over and gaining steam. Then they all of a sudden have him win KOTR and change him to King Barrett the mega jobber. Just dumb booking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) I'm probably the only one, but apart from the wrestling of course... there's one other thing NJPW had over WWE. Final boss music. Oh and here's some other people that weren't deemed WWE suitable at one point. Edited May 8, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 They're billing AJ and the Brothers as "The Club." Interesting - is this them calling them Bullet Club without paying to license the name, or setting them up to be the Balor Club when the Brothers turn on AJ and join Finn? Either way, a welcome development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) You like him now, but wait until they prematurely split up the tag team to give him a big singles push... because he's big. Edited May 10, 2016 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlslash Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Tonight's New Day promo makes me want to go on stubhub and order some tickets to Extreme Rules just to see them. Holy crap are they fun. A bygone era, which wasn't too kind to people like us....smartphone users. Unlimited data is amazing! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it's too smart in an era where their is very few fresh matches, because the same people wrestle each other over/over again every week... to finally blow big matches like this on a throw away show. It's a better card than Mania already on paper, but the matches probably won't mean anything. Would have been a great SummerSlam card.

AtariLegend Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 It looks like it's a network special that's why. Nakamura/Cena isn't going to be as special the 2nd time if you're doing it a month 1/2 later and once Lesnar crushes Owens... right call or not what's the point in counting the feud? I'd be surprised too if Asuka got a call up to the main roster too before Bailey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner55 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Sister won me tickets for wwe live event later this month. Of course, because nobody likes Winnipeg, bullet club and all the recent NXT callups are gunna be in Peoria that night while Winnipeg gets Kane and the usos. At least we get ambrose, Jericho, and Sasha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised too if Asuka got a call up to the main roster too before Bailey. Nakamura/Cena would be a great long-term program, though it does beg the question of who the heel would be. Owens/Lesnar could also be a great program, with KO and Heyman trading promos. I'm with you that Asuka won't get a full-time call up before Bailey, but I wouldn't be surprised if Summerslam and the week or two after it is the next round of main roster debuts with Nakamura, Balor, Asuka, and Bailey all turning up. In any event, those matches being on the card can only be good, and a network special makes it even better so we'll get to see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Original_RK Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 WWE released earnings earlier today and they were surprisingly strong! 40% year-over-year growth of earnings per share. Ended Q1 with 1.47 million network subscribers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the casual crowds, non NXT/Internet fans don't care about Zayn past his entrance. ...And Owens is a heel, who beat Cena clean once.

Per TMZ's update WWE has "suspended Ray Leppan indefinitely" under their zero-tolerance policy. He is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
