General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Krandor]

Give it to Joe and let him run roughshod over assorted faces for a few months while Roman and Braun continue to beat the crap out of each other in assorted gimmick matches. EZPZ

Progress is starting to give the match announcements for their NYC show on August 12th. Booked so far

Jimmy Havoc vs. Joey Janela in a No DQ match
#1 Contender to Atlas Title - Donovan Dijak(one of his final indy appearances before heading to NXT) vs. Timothy Thatcher
Zack Gibson vs. Mark Haskins vs. Mark Andrews which has all the likelihood of being match of the night

And just announced via Youtube Pete Dunne will defend the WWE UK Title against the returning Jack Gallagher

They just announced Jinny and Deonna Purazzo vs Dahlia Black and Dakota Kai (fka Evie).

Edit Also not mentioned in the above is Trent Seven and Tyler Bate vs TK Cooper and Travis Banks

[Krandor]

looool @ Elgin vs Yano.

That shit is never not hilarious to me.

So lyk, EVIL was legitimately majorly fucked up at the end there right? Seems like Kenny concussed the shit out of him with that V Trigger near the end.

Rewatching, he got fucked up from the table spot then Kenny legit knocked him out cold with the knee, Jesus. And the eye injury AND bleeding from the mouth, God damn EVIL got fucking destroyed in that match.

And another edit, apparently Meltzer says he OK, but I dunno if I believe that. He was obviously completely out of it at the end.

Wow. Dude was clearly fucked up.

How and/or where are you guys watching this? I feel so left out lol.

Yeah love that tag match with SPPT coming back. Slightly disappointed in the womens match but only because it likely means Toni Storm won't be on the card.

I think Toni is booked for Stardom

Io Shirai apparently not going to WWE according to Big Dave, seems like her neck injury is worse then originally reported.

Also, an amazing snippet from the article about it

(hence Adam Cole disappearing off the face of the Earth and I have no evidence he’s working these days as an astronaut nor that he was actually poisoned to death as the Young Bucks have implied on “Being the Elite”)

The way I read it, she took time off and got her neckcleared, but they got cold feet. Stupid on their part, she is a generational talent.

So since I don't know a lot of the NJPW wrestlers, as well as LU and what not, i've been reading up on them on Wikipedia and shit. I find it hilarious that when Kenny Omega was going as The Cleaner in NJPW, people didn't get the reference and thought he was a janitor so he finally started coming out with a mop and bucket.

[Krandor]

This is always one of my favorite Kenny moments

[Melena]

I sort of hope he doesn't go to WWE unless Vince keels over now, cause they would ruin him.

holy shit this is hilarious

[Twilight Sky]

Don't worry, he wont unless the organization is going under. Like, WCW and TNA.. all those guys stayed as long as they could before going to that shit company.

[Kalmado]

I know I complain a bit about WWE but the only real advantage to going there anymore is the money, unless the wrestler wants to be on the "big stage". I remember I was so pumped for Nak and now I don't even care. And I strongly believe it's on creative, not him and that goes for everyone else.

If Kenny, or anyone else wants to go because it's a dream or w/e to be in WWE cool, but I think most wrestlers know their chances of really getting to shine aren't as good as some of the other options.

I mean, I figure to the performer both of these are huge perks.

[Krandor]

At this point I think its a safe bet Kenny is very secure financially. He's not at the level of the Young Bucks but he pushes a lot of merch and is likely getting a solid deal from NJPW.

I would absolutely expect him (and the Bucks for that matter) to end up in WWE down the line, but not for a good 4 or 5 years.

[Fiendishone]

Just watched the NXT main event with Alister Black & Kyle O'Reiley. Was some good shit for a weekly, non PPV match.

[Delirium]

Ember Moon's promos are so overscripted and lack any conviction.

[Vagrant]

Sucks was hoping to see her on the card.

Matt Riddle vs. Walter for the Atlas title was just added. Probably one more match left to be added at this point.
