Jaysin Posted Monday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:32 PM Minor thing from Clash, did Jade look shorter than usual to anyone else? She didn't seem nearly as tall as she normally does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a good beginning to the new group. I just hope they don't go overboard with the supernatural stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eayragt Posted Tuesday at 11:02 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:02 AM The cinematography is on a different level, but it's not just the Sick6 reveal, it's the spear shot, the Punk reveal at Clash, it's really top quality and adds to the show. Let's cross our fingers for the group. Impressive faction reveals are pretty much yearly events in wrestling. That leading to an impressive faction run is a much rarer event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:20 AM There's a fine line between being a cool mysterious group and a supernatural pantomime. WWE crossed that line multiple times, I hope they won't do the same with Wyatt Sycks (name is hard af lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted Tuesday at 11:27 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:27 AM On another note, can they please stop risking injuries and taking unnecessary hazards with suicide dives and springboard maneuvers? Bron Breakker is the the next big thing in the entire business by a mile, why let him doing that top rope hurricanrana? Same with Priest's dive in Glasgow (even tho I get doing it occasionally on PLE and bigger shows), or with Austin Theory's botch on SmackDown months ago, and the list goes on and on.

The top rope Frankensteiner is part of Bron's moveset because his uncle made it famous in North America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, thx for pointing that out Jaysin But was Scott doing THAT by jumping over the third rope?! I can hardly believe it ngl lol Even if he did, I still don't think it's a great idea to take unnecessary risks on free live TV when you have tons of other pros and way to make an impact. I can get it doing like 2/3 a year for that highlight moment on big stages/big matches tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second and third gen workers have been adopting their family's moves and modifying them for ages though. I wasn't sure if you were familiar with the Steiners when they were in their prime, hence pointing it out. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaperMachete Posted Tuesday at 07:16 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:16 PM Interesting start to Wyatt 6, I'm a sucker for these types of things. As always interesting to see how they translate it from segments to in-ring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdBloodedSausageMaker Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Huge debut for Jacob Fatu. WWE immediately making Jacob look like a star -- that spot with Cody was huge and really well-executed. Fatu looked unstoppable here and his character got over well. WWE recently signed Hikuleo from New Japan -- do you think WWE debuts Hikuleo on the main roster, and if so, what role does he have in the new Bloodline? Would two enforcers be too many? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago Hikuleo may just be on team Roman at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago It will never fail to amuse me that, after years of trying to get him over unsuccessfully as a babyface, the best way to get the audience to unequivocally cheer for Roman Reigns is to... keep him off of TV for several months. I'd be more enthused for Fatu's debut if it wasn't the same kind of Smackdown "Main Event ends in a DQ finish when the Bloodline arrives" nonsense that's been done to death.

Big Roguey Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago He’s dropped a fair bit of weight from when I last saw him (the WCPW Chris Hero return show so about six months or so). Always thought the weight added to the aura of him being a big fast killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Machine Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago It didn't excite me as a debut, but that's probably because I see Jacob Fatu as the fourth badass savage "Samoan" of a four-men stable. To me, it doesn't seem like the ideal situation to see him stand out as a one-of-a-kind legit menace. It was a great introduction though, taking out Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton all by himself automatically take him to a high perception level. And gosh, everything CM Punk and Drew McIntyre are doing is just fabulous, top class superstars and great acting. Can't wait to see their match at SummerSlam, I assume. Great show last night, SmackDown is by far the best tv wrestling show atm! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sets up more programs for him. I wouldn't have booked it that way but WWE still hit on a gem so if they follow this up well it'll make up for it.

Big Roguey Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago I guess with it being unannounced they've taken the gamble on it, it's worked out well for them with the social metrics so they've got something to build on rather than the alternative of hyping it up and it flopping.

Jaysin Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago I just don't feel like I have a reason to watch NXT again if I'm a Hendry fan. I don't care about Kazarian enough without Daniels around to really be invested I guess. So, it's more of a personal problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also doesn't help that it follows Wyatt Sicks on RAW and Joe Hendry on NXT. After those two, ANY debut would have had trouble being interesting.
