The guy has badass look, he should behave like one.

Blackman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 My sentiments exactly. He's not bad on the mic as he delivered the line very well. It's just that long segments expose him and thus become horrible to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nection Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Ok kinda questioning why the Hardys aren't broken? That is the gimmick that re got them over. Is WWE afraid of trying to explain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Nice to see Dillinger debut, but they screwed up a good teaser by not letting Hawkins do the actual 10-count. A pity. The debut of Nakamura could've done without the violin. Not that it's not a special occasion, but I assume it felt kinda awkward for non-NXT viewers. A pity, but I guess it's great they got to score with some good debuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhawk8492 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I did like the Dean Ambrose Vs Baron Corbin match from Smackdown, why couldn't have they had a match that good at Wrestlemania? Anyway, the only way to salvage Reigns is to turn him heel and just make him the top heel. He is never going to be over as a face a this point.

Blackman Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 He is basically a heel at this point. He was the heel against 'Taker and he'll be the heel against Lesnar. Ridiculous btw how the stupid announcers remarked that the fans would cheer who they normally wouldn't cheer for, only because they expected Randy to get some heat for sucking the momentum out of the Wyatts... even more.

Better to re-introduce them to fans that haven't seen them in six-seven years and the generation that is too young to have seen any of their 1999-2001 run, sell a DVD in Best Buy that collects their stuff in six dvds or whatever, then in a few months, do your own version. It's like asking why WWE didn't mention that CM Punk had already done the Summer of Punk before, years earlier, for another company.</p><p> </p><p> They'll work out whatever legal issues there are and do the same or similar shtick within the year. And you trademark a character, you don't patent it. I don't really think Impact has much of a leg to stand on, considering he owns the trademark, and Matt Hardy is his real name, not a gimmicked one.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milamber Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Simon Gotch was released (mutual agreement). Waste of a decent tag team. Vince pretty much made sure Vaudeveillians and Ascension were DOA on the main roster. The "got his kicked by Sin Cara" burial was the final nail in Gotch's coffin.

Jaysin Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Just chiming in to say that Nigel is my current favorite color commentator in the industry. Not that there's many good ones to begin with, but he's just so good on the mic that he really shines through. Love listening to him talk.

A year of establishing his new character at NXT before returning to the main roster will be nice, methinks.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
