lucky son of a bitch lol.

That's actually hilarious. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Betcha it's NXT on FS1

Santana Garrett has signed with WWE.

 

[Maffew]

Since they're doing King Of The Ring tournament, should they also do a Queen Of The Ring tournament?

I've always been of the opinion that the WWE should be doing more tournaments in general, especially for the women, so that a bunch of the girls don't need one of the 1-2 storylines they run at a time just to get on screen.
My only issue with Queen of the Ring is you know they'll give the opening tournament win to Charlotte.

I could live with Charlotte dominating her way to the final, only to lose to Shayna in the final. A “battle of the queens”. Give shayna a fast start. Wouldn’t hurt Charlotte.

You could even protect Charlotte if preferred by having shayna’s goons work her over backstage before valiantly just falling short to shayna.

I'll only believe this if he's also BOOKED the same way and isn't in a bunch of 50/50 matches and fueds

The recent cancelling of several live events have been due to ticket sales not being enough to make the shows viable.

Via lords of pain:

WWE officials reportedly want Dominick to wrestle and the new Mysterio storyline on RAW could lead to that happening, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The 21 year old Dominick started training for a pro wrestling career last year and had a stint under wrestling veteran Lance Storm at his wrestling school in Canada. The Observer noted that the feeling right now is that Dominick is not ready for in-ring action on a stage like WWE, but they hope he will be ready in 2020.

Just send him to NXT, see if he's got it. Don't rush him.

A Queen of the Ring would be a great idea IMO. Charlotte would probably be the winner though.

Yeah, I can't see it going any other way, honestly.

Or you just have her lose to someone like Ember Moon with a rollup and there's your next program for a while. Charlotte having the coronation stolen from her is a good story to run with.

That was my first thought, too. Have Charlotte develop into a paranoid psychopath because someone else is "Queen"

Queen Asuka!

 

[Cor]

Queen Bliss!

 

[Fro]

Queen Bliss!

Naturally

 

[Kairi Zaide]

Queen Bliss!

She's not a Queen though.

She's a Goddess.

 

[Alex Jones]

Queen Bliss!

More like Queen Lacey Evans

 

[Alex Jones]

Zero surprise. She seemed super cranked up 95% of the time she was on TV.

I mean, her gimmick was designed to be turned up to 11.

Fox has been with WWE for such a long time it's hard to remember that she's not that old. If her career is done she still has lots of time in her life to pursue something else if she can get right.

 

[GKJ]

For tournaments to get over these days, you have to have a certain level of in-ring quality, and all the women they'd put in a Queen of the Ring tournament do not possess that (Lacey Evans), and the ones who do they've been booked for people to not care about (Sarah Logan)

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Meltzer said there’s a specific purpose for King of the Ring coming back & that it’s meant for someone but he doesn’t know who.

He hopes to god it’s not for Baron Corbin.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

King Corbin has a nice ring to it.

 

[Jussi]

King Gargano would be nice.
