Good god...to think I defended your Cena loving sometimes. NXT has been the best WWE product for the last 1+ year.
They're probably not allowed to mention that he's a stiffy worker.
This.
An argument could be made going back to the Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal feud when they created the belt, but it really kicked on when they had Big E drop the belt to Bo Dallas. Bo's trip to Disneyland vignettes and the bringing in of the women's championship. Those Paige vs Emma matches >>>
Ye, I got on board just towards the end of Big E's reign. Didn't understand the Bo hate fully because he was transitioning to heel by then.
Looking back has just made me realise that Angelo Dawkins is still in that exact same spot of jobber who appears every other run of tapings with a new completely random gimmick. I can't help but suspect he won't see the year out. Or maybe even last until the summer.
I think they need to bring back the hardcore title belt. It was fun. Pin someone when sleeping, fight anywhere quite chaotic and intensely entertaining!
I rarely see NXT and after yesterday it'll be part of my week. Network has a replay, right?
In a very convenient segway RHYNO is working tonight's NXT taping.
But nah, hardcore title wouldn't work anymore. It was very much of its day.
It's on demand on there.
Guys, speaking of NXT, they're taping and...
RHYNO!
Bloody hell, you defend Cena a few times and you're basically known as 'The John Cena guy'. i'll give it a go.
Still free, right?
Why do you think so? I don't see anything wrong without the concept currently.
Well for one, hardcore wrestling itself is something that isn't really around anymore, and is largely ignored when it is, we know far too much about concussions etc… for it to be acceptable to do a lot of that shit.
Aside from that there's the car crash nature of that stuff. There's a reason they got rid of the 24hr rule as fast as they did.
They should consider making the current titles look worthwhile.
potential HUGE news from Orlando.
Sasha and Charlotte have had a title rematch, with Sasha winning. Charlotte said goodbye after the match.
I suspect she isn't going to the main roster.

My WWE network subscription ended today. So free Feb, before I decide to subscribe again or not.
Probably will.
Probably will.
With Flair's contacts that'll be surprising!
I'd say to start at NXT Arrival:Fatal 4 Way and watch the live specials from there onwards. Will give you a good indication of where we are up to and why. Plus it's only 6 hours of your time taken up, but it'll be an enjoyable 6 hours.
Screw that...All of these things happening...
The Brian Kendrick is back, I fecking love that character
Enzo and Cass getting a push - how you doin?
Owens battering the announces leading to Rileys return.
Solomon Crowe debut.

Apparently Big Show turned on Kane last night. yet another face turn?
Would it be more likely that Kane will turn face? Maybe they are goig to go for masked Kane v Big Show at Wrestlemania. Also, I imagine Kane will be calling time in his career soon (hasnt it be rumoured for a while?), maybe it could be one final face run before it happens.
Kane deserves a chance to exit as fan favourite.
AS long as he comes back with the mask and his old music for one night only. But Kane vs Big Show... bleh!
I would be delighted to see a Kane vs. Big Show Double Retirement Match.
The winner retires. The loser retires.
The only winner is the fans. lol.

Just watched that Balor Neville match. That's better than 99% of the drivel that's on Raw.
Daddy can have all the contacts you want, if the boss doesn't see your appeal (I'm fully with Vinnie and big Dunno on this) and on a huge contract for your level in a time when they're trying to cut costs, you're at risk.

Not sure what you're even going on about in regards to Charlotte and what gives you the impression she's leaving the company, bizarre.
She's on a big contract, she's terrible and they're cutting costs. Not a difficult equation to think she's in serious risk of being cut.
Regarding the Kane/Big Show stuff... They are building up the fact that the Big Show will be 'dealt with' by The Authority on RAW, which unfortunately points towards a face turn for Big Show.
Obviously, it may well be that they all just turn on Kane, but it would be pathetic if they turn Big Show again.
Either way it will probably be Kane v Big Show at Mania (do they even have enough room for that with all the rumoured matches?) It's matches like that at Mania which always make it difficult for me to stay awake. Throw Raven and the hardcore title in the mix however and then we are talking.

A difficult equation considering the company clearly rate her. Not going up to the main roster? I'd happily bet you she is if you're willing to take the bet? Just like the time you said Reigns wouldn't get booed after the Rumble. There's nothing pointing to Charlotte leaving the company.
I'm not even getting into the stuff about her being terrible because that's just a ridiculous statement. Come on man, even you can't believe that shit.
Hey, Ric.
Wooooooooooooooo!
On a side note, Ric Flair's own website has photoshopped his pictures to make him look less old.
Ref's face like 'wtf he superkicked the tits right off him'.
So a few says late but I just watched takeover. Superb show as always, perfect ending to the main event too. The rematch will be epic.
No, Triple H, also known as the worlds biggest Flair mark, likes her. Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn, the guys who actually matter, don't. Reigns has been getting 80% cheers since btw. He even got cheered and yes chants when he speared Bryan on Raw.
Dude she's awful. She's very athletic and as a result can do spots. She can't wrestle a jot, has zero presence and the Flair gene of looking 40 years older than she is (which in itself is one of the oldest women in the company). Everything about her has failure written all over it, except daddy's name.
She isn't even over in NXT ffs.
Reigns 80% cheers?
Okay, let's just end it there
We'll see when it comes to Charlotte when she's called up to the main roster soon, clear as daylight she's not getting cut whether you think she's shit or not.
Reigns got booed loudly when he speared Bryan. There were a few Yes chants but loud boos. Reigns has been getting mixed reactions since the Rumble.
Smackdown was hard to tell. Saying that I really enjoyed SD. Normally I hate the put the opponents together as a tag team, but the tag team turmoil and focusing the whole show on Reigns /Bryan was fantastic. Bryan did most of the work which was smart too. Usos looked good in losing, Ascension looked good cos they didnt have a match, it was a beatdown which they should have been doing more, and Miz/Mizdow and Show/Kane was story. Rest of tag teams nobody cares about anyway.
Not sure how you can say Charlotte is awful tho. Im not her biggest fan and like the others in the fatal fourway more than her, but Charlotte doesnt look like somebody they will just cut.
