All-Purpose News Thread Part II

Nah, it's Bruce.

Shawn Michaels isn't just going to wipe HHH clean like that. The direction is a clear 180 from what HHH was doing. His best friend isn't just going to completely wipe it.

You've got all the womens belts on chicks who come out wearing basically nothing. Dat sex appeal! You have infantile humour with a women in her 30's dressing and acting like a toddler who's on the spectrum. You've had multiple love angles. It's the vision of a few horned up 60+ year olds.

That's Bruce Prichard, dude. It's not hard to tell.

Their outfits are nothing different compared to what they share on Instagram. Besides, Gigi Dolin was wearing even more risque stuff in the indies and also has very non-PG mannerisms.

You're such a werido, man.

Bruce and Vince sort of oversee NXT and have been in on creative and making sure things are going the way they want, but day-to-day (or week-to-week I guess) Shawn is/was booking the 2-hour show. But I doubt he's making major decisions, like it's not his call alone to switch the NXT title.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Could someone please tell Flair not to do this?

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

I don't feel like digging up the article or tweets but wasn't it pretty much announced that Vince and Pritchard were taking over or at least would be involved in NXT once it switched to 2.0 and HHH got sick (and was basically being 'forced out' before that due to losing to AEW)?

Shawn my be the "booker" or "producer" but everything is clearly running through Vince and especially Pritchard before it gets to TV. It's so obvious.

This HHH coup was never proven and most likely was dirt sheet rumor mongering.

Ishii being replaced by Clark Connors at Forbidden Door. Ishii has a knee injury apparently.

Damn show is cursed. Though I guess long run all the more reason to do another with guys healthy.

 

[CDJ]

Might be the card most impacted by injuries in the history of wrestling

I’ve seen a couple Connors matches, he’s a quality worker

 

[GKJ]

Hiromu Takahashi is ill and did not make the trip to Chicago. That match has been changed to a trios.

 

[CDJ]

it’s just funny at this point

You can get into the show tonight for $2. This can't be what Tony had in mind when he originally planned this "supershow".

Oh you’re back… I’ll take the bait even though you are just pushing your own narrative. You can go back and find posts about the show selling out in minutes for the initial run. And if you follow your own link above you can see that these are limited view seats behind the entrance stage area that were opened up later to fill additional demand… but who cares about facts

What additional demand? They are literally trying to give away these tickets lol.

 

[GKJ]

Tony made his money. He could give a shit what happens on seatgeek. Same as anyone else.

 

[sabremike]

It's almost as if the guy who sold all those tickets got hurt and isn't on the show or something.

I paid 6 dollars to get into Summerslam 2019 and my seats were like 30 rows from ringside.

I can't tell if this is Raj trying to damage control for saying she was released two weeks ago without her actually being released.

 

[GKJ]

PWI saying she’s still internally listed on the roster. I find it hilarious that no one can ever figure out what’s going on with her. That’s been going on her whole career basically. The fact she has let all this shit be said about her while she’s been radio silent tells me that they’re still working it out with her. Naomi has since started being active on Twitter again.

Notice they haven’t said a word about the tag titles. It’s been like 6 weeks since they walked out.

Shows you how much they care about the tag titles, which is part of the reason Banks was pissed off to begin with wasnt it?

It’s fine if you wanna keep Banks and Naomi off tv and stay quiet on their situation. But you can’t ignore the tag division entirely if you expect it to mean anything. At least run a contenders tournament. If you need to crown a champion at the end of it then just work it in last minute and have the finals on ppv and announce the smackdown before that it’s for the title
