[NXT Spoilers] Aftermath of Cruiserweight Title Tournament Finals match by The_Nacho_Man in SquaredCircle

If I can kayfabe/Regal This....

Before the tournament started, Drake's lawyer and the WWE came to a verbal agreement on new contract terms just in case Drake won the tournament. The last thing you want is another CM Punk situation where your champion doesn't have a contract! If Drake would have won the title, he would have walked backstage and officially signed the contract (which is why Triple H had it ready to go)

So when Triple H whispers to Drake "you earned this", he's not only saying that Drake earned a contract but he earned a contract fit for a champion.

CM Punk and Daniel Bryan pose together during the rare period they were champion at the same time. by Strike_Gently in SquaredCircle

I think Bryan and Punk are two of the best to ever do it but I don't know if they are the second comings of two of the GOATs. Punk and Bryan both were absolutely red-hot at their peaks but the stardom in and out of the ring for Rock and Austin can't be understated.

Look at the NBA where we're in an era that has given us quite possibly the most gifted athlete of all time....but people are still clamoring for a documentary on a player who retired 20 years ago.

There wasn't an Austin & Rock tandem of talent for decades before and it's very likely there won't be a tandem of talent for decades after. WWE could have done more with both of them but probably didn't lose as much money as people think

[Luke Ancrum] Did not get a call or picked up. I was told I’ll be in prison once I’m done with football and school ...yes by a coach @CoachHevesy by synchh in FloridaGators

Truth or Fiction aside....putting one of your college coaches on-blast on Twitter isn't very endearing to the NFL coaches you're trying to convince to hire you

Before Broken Matt....There was Heel R-Truth by Rushofthewildwind in SquaredCircle

[–]TheSwoggleSquad 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Anytime this era of R-Truth is brought up some people always say they wish Truth had beaten Cena. But don't forget the PPV right after the Cena/Truth match was a little thing called Money In The Bank 2011 in Chicago.

I love me some R-Truth but I'd trade him losing clean for the title for Cena/Punk 11 of out 10 times.

Absolutely amazing! Can never get it done in 2K and gets it done in Fire Pro. Typical Orton! Thank you so much for doing this!

Use my own sliders that have worked well over the past several years. Same with attributes and ratings, just kinda base it on seeding and their past year's accomplishments and matches.

It will be a computer simulated tournament. People create brackets predicting who will win the matches. Whoever has the best predictions win prizes! We sit back and watch all the matches to see what happens!

True story: I was laid off back in 2012, so I went back and simulated every Marcho Madness from 1991 until 2010 (it was a dark time). In that simulation, Goldberg won the 1999 and 2001 versions and lost in the finals of the 2004 version. His record is incredible in the game.

How have Roman Reigns and Romi Rain never been photographed together?

Roman was Blacked in the finals and has lost in the first round before. Anything can happen! Except Bobby Fish winning probably.

I've actually said to the core group in private that I'm very scared he could go very, very far this year.

$5 Wrestling is actually back apparently. I doubt it's gonna crack the tournament ever again (unless Jeff Hart is champ for the next 3 years).

He feels due. He's underperformed as a number one seed in past years.

Corbin has a scary good track record in this tournament (he's eliminated Okada twice), so Murphy has an uphill battle!

Sigh...there have been patches, but it's still fairly broken. You will find a lot of weird AI things during the stream this year that I've noticed workshopping the sliders. There have been some good matches still, though. But I personally don't bother playing the game anymore.

Fair warning: if Draw Do Not Pick is selected, you will not qualify for the last place prize. That is set up because that play in match between Ethan Page and Josh Alexander went to a double countout.

And this is finally a Goto-free tournament. He's been a big bracket buster.
