WWE General Discussion II

WWE pushing some newer gen women using Becky/Charlotte/Sasha/Bianca to lift them up

Liv Morgan
Toni Storm
Shotzi
Doudrop

As much as I'm in love with Liv, I've got Doudrop as the best potential there after her recent move to power heel status and matches with Bianca, she is a good actress with the facial expressions etc.

Well, you can scratch Toni Storm of that list.

Yeah they were pushing her. Is how they are treating Liv is any indication they were probs gonna give her another tittle match or two. But she asked out. WWE should be praised for not playing hard ball with her and letting her live her life

I don't know about the numbers on Peacock, but Day One's Youtube highlights has 4 million views while Survivor Series did 1.3 million. That is pathetic for WWE's standards.

The post-Vince WWE, they may want to keep Day One. A KOTR-like tournament is a possibility. Using WCW events like NXT does is a possibility. Many possibilities, which means they should get rid of Survivor Series.

However if they do a supershow involving AEW and others once per year, it makes sense they'd do it in the Fall when sports competition is at its highest. If it replaced Survivor Series and they have 2 traditional Survivor Series matches rather than the usual battle royal, I'd be happy with that.

I'd have a different Clash of Champions or "Raw vs Smackdown" type PPV where the brands face each other. And then for Survivor Series you have a regular PPV build except with a 5 vs 5 midcarders and womens match.

Say the original plan for Day 1 was Rollins becoming WWE champ and Lesnar Universal champ after Heyman interferes against Reigns. Possible that after covid they decided to do a switcheroo and make Brock WWE and Rollins Universal champion and hence the Reigns match at Royal Rumble? And then Rollins can stay on Raw and that just becomes the Universal belt. You still end up with the same Wrestlemania plan which is Lesnar vs Reigns on Smackdown and Rollins vs ? (Owens storyline?) on Raw.

They really decided to give WALTER a Nazi name? Wonderful job WWE.

This was earlier today. Of course today's show revealed Gunther is Walter.

Ugh.

This would feel super weird. I wasn't watching NXT when he was active.

I think all this means is he's gonna make a breif run in the rumble maybe even forma. Tag team with edge for an angle? He was tag team champs with pac .

Stone Cold Steve Austin had the most merch sold last year. Almost 20 years since retirement.

nWo, Hulkamania and even DX has gotta be up there as well I would presume I see more retro merch
in the crowd at shows then any current stuff.

I enjoyed the house shows I've been to. However, if attendance isn't great these days, I can't help but wonder how much of a future they have.

The first match I saw was Justin Hawk Bradshaw vs. Bob Spark Plugg Holly. I don't notice wrestlers like Holly being on the house shows these days. I hope that changes.

The original Austin 3:16 and nWo shirts are probably the highest selling shirts of all time in pro wrestling.

MJF has hinted at going to WWE. They signed Gable Steveson. Owens and Sami signed. They signed Rousey and possibly Angle too. With a good young roster in NXT things are looking bright for the WWE.

Mick Foley was vocal when AEW made a small amount of signings. Is he talking now? Tony Khan loves to hear himself talk about many things including WWE. Is he talking now? The anti-WWE crowd appears quiet these days, and this loyal fan loves it.

The WWE has a ton of good tallent under 30 angle and Humberto are destined for tag gold! I think they need to form a stable with Dom once they finally split him up from rey. Mansor legit has world tittle contender in him. Pete Dunn, Grimes, msk, aliyah, Ripley, blackheart. Not to mention Otis, Sasha and Bliss all just turned 30, and let's not forget theory. That's not even counting the 2.0 or UK guys!

My favorites are the original Austin 3:16, original plain nWo , and plain ECW logo. Those are my top 3 shirts

Seeing rumours that Vince wants Austin to wrestle at Mania.

Unless he wants to see Stone Cold wrestle in a t-shirt, this is a terrible idea.
