Killer Kross apparently headed to the WWE. Should be interesting.

and is getting fasttracked as well. I'm not so sure tbh about this move from him, sneaking suspicion he could be another Mike Bennett (he's alright i guess and he has a good promo game). Granted i don't think even if he went to AEW he'd be main eventing either (he'd be firmly a midcarder or an uppper mid card heel giant). Like he's better than Corbin but no where near as good as Keith Lee or Dijakovic.

He seems like one of those guys that will do far better in the WWE than anywhere else. I'm kind of excited to see what they do with him.

I'd imagine it'll be similar to what they've done with most others...not much.

I don't know about that, he has the prototypical "Vince" size, is good on the mic, is fairly charismatic and has some it factor. I think he'll be fine.

Its Vince, in theory he should be fine but i thought EC3 would do the same yet he is now sitting in catering.

Or Bobby Roode.

I think it's one of those things where if you come from TNA you are gonna pay.

I'll see myself out.

Yea Kross has all the tools, but EC3 was as sure as it could get with respect to being a big player, and they've completely wasted him

One rumor floating around is Balor vs Triple H at Mania. The premise of the feud is Balor returned to NXT to take out the false father figure that allowed the NXT stars to fail on the 2 main rosters.

Would be cool if it happens

Didn't EC3 catch heat from like the minute he was called up? But yeah, he should at least be an upper midcarder. Roode at least had a couple quick title runs.

He honestly doesn't and no one really wants to see him now the way he is.

But unless he goes after the NXT title there isn't much else he could do sadly that would mean much.

The way he is? Isn't he still a good wrestler?

I'm very much in favor of the occasional Triple H match. Yeah, his wrestling persona is corny but he's still valuable. It's not like he'd come back to squash young talent. Hell, he recruited them all.

Kurt Angle was asked if he would do everything over again. He said, "I don't know. I mean, I'm hurting pretty badly. My knees, my back, my neck. Sometimes I think about would I go back? My quality of life right now sucks. So, I have a lot of suffering. I had a painkiller addiction that I overcame about 6 years ago. You know, staying clean and struggling the way I have been, it's very difficult."

Sad to hear. Some guys need to know when to quit. Kurt was one of the guys who should've stopped way earlier.

First episode was kind of boring, and was basically an epilogue to the Monday night wars. I pretty much tuned out just as the RE era was starting and started watching again in the summer of Punk so it’ll be kind of neat to get a recap of the significant stuff I missed.

Pretty much same for me, I don't think I followed the WWE at all (other than occasionally seeing how they were wasting Punk) during the RE era. I think I started watching again around Miz v Cena at WM.

Absolutely. I guess Bret Hart makes the speech for another dead relative. Or maybe Bulldog's son, Harry?
