Re: BRM Reviews the 9/23/2021 Dynamite (DRAGON VS. KENNY!)
AEW WOMEN’S WORLD TITLE MATCH: Dr. Britt Baker, DMD(c) (w/Jamie Hayter & Rebel) vs. Ruby Soho- 7.25/10 They did some big moves and had an exciting match. Dr. Baker won due to interference. Based on what we learned last month with the Young Bucks, the logical thing to do here would be to book a r ...

Re: Day-to-Day Quote Topic
I've only seen a couple of clips of Dreamer talking and he came off like a complete moron who didn't seem to understand how serious it was. "Eh, good ol' Naitch sexually assaulting women, it was just tuesday for him, y'know", maybe he thought he was doing a light-hearted shoot interview with Sean ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 9/14/2021 NXT (NXT 2.0 Debut)
I'd be tempted to to give it a try if it wasn't two hours. The format is more reminiscent of early NXT (some squashes, fairly short enhancement matches, a relatively long main event mixed with promos/backstage stuff/vignettes) before Hunter went crazy with indy signings, but two hours of that is a ...

Re: BRM Reviews the 9/10/2021 Rampage
PAC vs. ANDRADE EL IDOLO (w/Chavo Guerrero Jr.)- 7/10 We were told that the Lucha Bros. had come out with Pac but Pac sent them to the back. The match was great, but you could tell they were holding back for the rematch. Chavo cheated to help Andrade win. Andrade found out about it afterwards from ...

Re: Lee Moriarty accepts AEW contract offer at Dark: Elevation tapings
So how long until people start calling this for what it really is? You know, stockpiling talent. You can already see it with Page and some fans having second thoughts about him winning the belt from Omega to blow off this """epic""" storyline, because he'll be secondary to whatever Cole/Danielson ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
I think Bliss might have had a shot if not for Asuka. Asuka is what derails a lot of people because she was the top dog for so long... but I don't have a problem with that because the story suited it. The problem was her getting called up without having the chance to put someone over first and make ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
When Biiss and Carmella got called up, NXT hadn't quite developed into that yet, and the two of them, Braun, and Evans all got called up well before they should have been in terms of working ability. Even if not a top spot, Bliss could easily have settled in to the #2 heel position in NXT. I guess ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
And Kross last year when Lee got called up. Roode lost the best to Drew a few months after Drew's return, and Roode was on the main roster in about two months. It's possible it didn't happen quite as much as I remember, but depending on how much leeway you're willing to give on each end, Roode ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
You're not wrong about the booking, but I think a lot of that was feeling like they needed to make a splash to hide guys (and usually the champ) getting called up at unpredictable times. Does that happen often though? The only examples I can think of are Owens and Banks (+ Kross now I suppose ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
I see what you're saying, but I think your definition of NXT's "golden age" is one that assumes that it has to be a developmental territory. I thought much of what they did through 2019 was excellent, even if it wasn't actually developing/grooming talent. I mean, that is what NXT is supposed to be ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
I usually skip their halftime segment, but I caught the tail end of Zeller and Bix (and Beau James) discussing some of this on last week's Between the Sheets, and someone (Zellner, IIRC) wondered about the possibility of Hunter and Steph cashing out before a sale, so that they would be free to ...

Re: Bronson Reed, Bobby Fish part of 13 WWE NXT releases
I'm surprised he got let go, not that there's any rhyme or reason to any of this, but he's a bigger guy (6'4"/250) and strikes me as a guy with a huge ceiling with a better gimmick. He's been around for something like seven years (he was already there when I was still watching) and is still trash ...

Re: Prazak joins MLW; spearheads women's division
When I was writing my review of the last OVW show, I was actually wondering if MLW didn't just scrap their women's division('s plans), so there's my answer I suppose. Don't really know who they're gonna sign at this point, but eh. As for Shimmer (and WSU to a lesser extent), I feel like the ...

I'm not sure it brings anything really. This is a currency ($MJF) within a currency ($RLY) within a currency (Ethereum). Are people really eager to buy bullshit "currency" you can do fuck all with just because some "celebrity" (more on that in a second) endorses it? At least you can kinda do ...
