ACH/Jordan Myles testing if WWE actually will fire anyone or not. Also apparently the NXT roster hasn't gotten their pay upgraded and some of them aren't seeing the progression they want (probably to the main roster). Oh boy
-
To be more specific, Bushiroad bought Stardom and it's still being run by the same people, separate from NJPW (and I think even a separate division of the company, the one that promotes Kickboxing or something), with their separate streaming platforms. They're going to try to build the brand up the same way they did NJPW, and likely use it to put on joint shows in the west because western fans demand women's divisions (RoH already had a working agreement with both NJPW and Stardom anyways). I think there's room for optimism. Though, Harold Meij and Minoru Suzuki are on their way out, so who knows if everything's hunky-dory in NJPW right now too

NJPW bought Stardom. Sounds like they're covering their last base for when NXT Japan starts up

There is no way WWE and NJPW would be able to co-exist. WWE's trying to kill all other wrestling and NJPW is what the average Japanese person thinks of when the word "wrestling" comes up in Japan. I do recall that WWE and Dragon Gate were talking to each other. Tozawa, Apollo and Ricochet were Dragon Gate guys. Dragon Gate's lost a number of their top stars because of management issues. You need a Japanese partner to break into Japan. Only thing that wouldn't make sense is that Dragon Gate is the exact opposite of WWE wrestling, it's small fast guys.

Format = they'd have a Raw vs Smackdown match, and the winner got to select first for the round. Each round Consisted of 2 SDL picks and 3 Raw picks (Because Raw has a third hour, so they need a larger roster). Instead of doing what sports would do, picking the best players first, they instead seemed to save a number of higher tier stars so that most rounds would have someone interesting get picked. So you had a situation like Seth Rollins, despite being the Universal Champion and one of the top stars in the company, basically getting picked almost 30th overall because they had to save some big-time picks for Raw, which means people like Nattie, the Viking Raiders and Heavy Machinery got picked ahead of him on Smackdown.

I don't think anyone in WWE management actually watches sports. Generally, you draft the best players first and then the so-so's and then after them the scrubs.

Dig the graphics and production values on SDL
-
I just realized
-
They're becoming more like WCW with each passing day

Man, only 49 ?
-
I was wondering what was up with him, he left Impact some months back and didn't pop up anywhere else.
-
That AOP promo was good as fuck. Made me think of the twins from Breaking Bad The King of the Ring Final should've ended about 20 seconds earlier than it did.
-
They've been talking to every promotion to see if they can lock down PPV or streaming rights for their shit for that Premium tier
-
Really liked the AJ/Braun finish, nice twist on a classic finish
-
Raw's pretty good again.
-
Fuckinnnnnnn 5 Observer Rewinds left, about 2 weeks unless daprice's job/life interrupts ;_;
-
Roman Reigns and Kenny Omega Buddy Murphy had a banger on SDL
-
Raw was an above-average short-matches show. Did kind of feel like a 2 hour show that had to be stretched to three, but they mostly filled it out with squash matches so it's fine
-
Do they have Ryan Ward doing SDL again or is Paul? That show was snappy as fuck, didn't dwell too long on any match or storyline, got across what it needed to. This is the formula WWE needs
-
Another pretty good Raw and a good build-up for Summerslam
-
I actually found NXT and UK pretty lackluster this week compared to the main product. I don't think that's ever happened since I started watching again.
