*Official* Pro-Wrestling Thread II

Ruby would be a great pick up. More of that, less of the Paul Wights.

Paul Wight pick up hasn't been that bad has it? I don't watch Elevation or whatever he commentates on though.

He's really only done the Elevation commentary, the casino battle royale guest spot, and the Cody weigh in segment on the last Dynamite. I've genuinely found all of his contributions terrible tbh, and I doubt he came cheap.

Christian's an example of a vet that has delivered.

 

[Athlai]

depends what they paid for them I guess. Wight shouldn’t be anywhere near what Christian or Sting is getting.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Strowman should go to AJPW. Strowman vs Shuji would bang.

 

[Jarquis]

WWE firing all their midcard women that are actually half decent is pretty funny tbh. If you aren't Sasha/Bayley or Naomi then you better be blonde with big **** or else no matter how solid you are in or out of the ring. You're getting fired.

7 women on the smack down roster supposedly

They must seriously be considering selling to NBC for sure now. Poor NBC does not have half their best shows anyways for their streaming. I can easily see WWE PPVs becoming premium streaming content with NBC and the same structure being retained but under the ownership of NBC directly. They also have enough channels to carry their programming and there should be something they can do with the gaming side too, which is where wrestling is a perfect fit IMO.

 

[Spikey]

I don't think there's any reason at all to believe they're preparing to sell

And three of them are Carmella, Natalya and especially Tamina who are not good at all.

 

[Athlai]

Tamina is at her peak right now too.

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah... but I think they should. Even if they dont sell the company, I expect the streaming platform to become a permanent media platform or something. Like moving Smackdown from Fox back to one of the NBC channels etc.

 

[sledger]

Natalya "not good at all", really?

 

[Athlai]

Despite being a solid wrestler I'm pretty sure she's never had an interesting feud. Solid midcard act

 

[sledger]

Yeah, hence why "not good at all" is not accurate.

 

[honestbharani]

There should be more team ups.. And Lana would have been so good if they had her as the voice for Natalya, for example. Why is it that we almost never have a girl managing a girl wrestler?

 

[WICFan]

They could be looking at shuffling the deck before they go touring again. Maybe a few NXT callups to top up the roster.

They've Parker Boudreaux in Performance Centre who apparently is meant to be the next big thing II.

I think they did team them up actually iirc.

Harsh maybe but she is just so dour and bland and has been for so long .

She is the last of the summer wine type wrestler, technically not bad, but the drabness of her can be overwhelming at times.

But its why tag teams and managers are a thing in wrestling.

Yeah but I feel it would have worked better with Lana as just a manager. There was no real need for her to wrestle, IMHO.

 

[sledger]

Andrade in AEW. Gun signing.

 

[Athlai]

Someone on reddit put his entrance with Santana - Smooth. Would be so gun if TK got the cheque book out for that
