Most of the WWE roster at that time had been broken in/trained by old school territory workers. WWE has been trying to replicate that somewhat with NXT. But really have failed. Any of the successful ones through NXT on main rosters are either generational talents or got built up by ROH or foreign promotions.
The Miz is the only one I can think of who had a successful WWE career from the Tough Enough participants. He had a tough time in the locker room for a while though.
Miz will be a HOF.
Best mic work I’ve seen from her. When she’s in the ring still needs to wrestle like a heavyweight. She’s lost a lot of weight, but she’s still a big gal. Those chair shots at War Games were lol bad. As well as the attempt of a Frankensteiner on Bayley. They’re both lucky neither got hurt. Honestly was shocked Bayley didn’t blowout a knee.
ya i donno if they were pumping in boos, but that was more heat than she usually gets.
Rhea is way way over. Any interruption is going to generate heat. Add interaction with Bayley in her home town. It was set up well.
John Morrison won season 3. I didn't remember this, looked it up on Wikipedia lol.
Drew’s promo interruption of Punk and Rollins was really good. Nia Jax interrupting Rhea Rhipley.
The streetfight started pretty slow but then got pretty good in the middle, then ended pretty slow.
They already edited that down in the E1 and his beer has 2 spots in the ring so they're prob just going to act like it never happened.
Think Trips promised a live run time of 2 and 1/2 hrs maybe.
Similar to how Hogan believes he never said the N word. Ignore it and hopefully people forget.
Lyra won her first singles. Match felt a little sloppy at first, but had some really good bumps. That suplex off the apron looked like pain.
Netflix will insert more commercials later for the lowest tier. Possibly get it closer to 3 Hrs.
Really wish they’d stop using the apron so much. People are going to stop reacting. Add in the fact that it’s extremely dangerous. I’d love to see Penta vs Gunther eventually. Hopefully Penta can get that over. The talent and individuality is there.
He's good in the ring. Can perform without killing other people. He took a lot of major bumps last night. He's just kind of stuck in judgement day right now. He also trained up Becky Lynch and Big Head McDonough.
I've tried to understand the Judgement Day... seems lame. I don't get it, but I have admittedly watched only 5-6 episodes so likely do not know the full story. I do sorta see the Dom going good and reuniting with Rey before he retires. My son loves Dom so he'd be thrilled to see something like that happen, but for now he's just a funny sidebar.
ehhh I hope not. I love Rey, he's a cornerstone, but when people team with Rey it's all about Rey. Dom is so much more fun as a heel.
Judgment day has been through a lot and they really need to figure out what they're going to do post Finn/Priest Liv/Rhea.
Well without the Dom/Mammy dynamic it’s a dud. Also when the judgement day squared off in the ring with the Bloodline. Rhea eyeballing Solo and switching spots in the lineup whenever he did was crazy funny and cool.
Yeah, the Dom/Rhea/Liv part is entertaining/funny. One of my favorite parts last night was Dom's mustache swipe after Finn telling him he had a lot to learn after saying he didn't think Liv was mad. Got a giggle from me.
