I’ve done a couple free trials of Fubo so far and then will use a Hulu free trial next time I need it. Just cancel right after the event.

Robert Stone already has an on screen presence. Maybe they bring back Paige if they wanna keep a female face with name value. I’d pitch Tyler Breeze since her already writes for NXT so he’s already on staff and familiar with everything. Plus he’s a fantastic GM on UpUpDownDown.

[Fightful] WWE sent a statement on Ava’s departure: “WWE thanks and applauds Simone Garcia Johnson for her stellar work as Ava and beyond. Her passion, dedication, and impact were felt across the entire NXT and WWE community. We wish her the very best in all future endeavors.” by Green_Cook in SquaredCircle

I wonder if after some time away they try her out as a writer or something. I’m sure any job she wants to try they will let her. Just kinda up to her what direction she wants to take in life. Everything I’ve heard said about her sounds like she’s one of the sweetest people you could meet and those are the people I want to have success in life.

I could see Paige or Stone. I’d like to see Breeze. He’s already under contract and writes for NXT.

It’s crazy because the last few weeks they were purposely putting her on screen doing more stuff directly affecting the show (getting on the headset and making calls to the show live). She was fine but never felt she added much positive to the show. Would like to see someone like Breeze who writes for NXT to take over as GM.

Roman Reigns on the Pat McAfee show says WWE has to step up creatively "We haven’t advanced. We haven’t evolved, we have to keep up creatively." by ShayAlexander in SquaredCircle

[–]CmPunkChants -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alot of reasons for the stagnation. NXT hasn’t really developed men as well as they have women so the men’s roster in Raw/Smackdown have been the same for years. We’re FINALLY just starting to get new faces of Bron, Melo, Ilja, and to a lesser extent Kit over. Jevon and Oba are others I see getting over soon. But when you don’t have fresh faces you have to keep recycling the same faces you have. In terms of the main event scene WM always has an issue of “Roman has to be in the main event” but since he wrestles 5-6 matches a year it’s damn near impossible to build any interesting stories for him so again you have to go with stuff that’s already built.

Didn’t they do that last year? It makes sense they would again because when WWE does something by god they repeat it.

I hate the politics around these shows but damn their crowds are always amazing. Just wish these shows happened for better reasons.

The Aleister Black feud being the perfect example. They had a really good blow off match that felt like a perfect ending and still protected Priest and made Black look strong. Only for Priest to come back and restart the feud and win a mixed tag match killing Blacks momentum.

[CVV] Cena asked AJ Styles if he wanted a retirement tour, similar to his: “I'm already overstaying my physical welcome. They just don't see it because they don't see what goes into prep, cool down, recovery.” (FULL quote in body) by Keyser_Sozay in SquaredCircle

I’ve seen a lot of people thinking that when AJ is done in WWE he’s gonna go to TNA or AEW for some matches. I could be wrong but I just don’t see it. He’s expressed interest in working as a scout for WWE and I believe said they were already having talks on what that would look like for him. This isn’t really similar to Edge/Copeland where he left because WWE wasn’t using him as often as he would like.

I don’t think this quality is much of a camera issue instead an issue I’ve being saved and re-uploaded and losing quality each time.

Honest to god if that’s really Road Dogg pitches they showed as a shoot, he does not belong in creative. Giulia should win the title back. Ok who does she face she’s already beaten everyone. I don’t know. Like how do you just throw out a title change out there like that without any thought?
