Welp NXT is gonna suck now just like all the other shows Vince has a hand in. The one hour NXT shows were perfect.

Got tickets to AEW on 10/23 @ the pete... Sec 123 aisle seats closest to the 75$ seats but only paid 50$ for this section. Not too bad.

Some really unfortunate news with Moxley being forced out of All Out next Saturday. However, his replacement will be PAC, which should still guarantee a great match. I'm assuming he was going to be a surprise run-in or participant before the Moxley MRSA news.

It should still be a good match, but not having Moxley is a big blow to the PPV. Hope for his healths sake he gets this MRSA stuff figured out. Scary stuff.

I forgot how hilariously entertaining Kurt Angle was during his WWF run. He was such a goofball, and his promos as he came down the ramp (always featuring a knock against the home city) were always good for a chuckle. I think he is very underrated in terms of mic skills.

Angle could do it all and make it work.

The ass kicking heel that you could hate.
The goofy comedy heel that embarrassed himself.
The goofy comedy face.
The superstar babyface that everyone rooted for.

He did them all and was great at all of it.

So good.

My favorite segment might be this one:

(start around 4:15)
The timing of RAW coming back when they did makes it that much better.

Setting aside the ridiculous character that Taker came back in, this is one of my favorite returns. That pop.

So Bray Wyatt The Fiend is going to face Rollins at Hell in a Cell. They're repeating exactly what killed Bray in the first place. If he doesn't win, you may as well send him to NXT for another repackage.

Postby **Morkle** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 1:45 pm

I would hope, Braun is going to win, and they're going to build Fiend up as a monster killer (they've honestly already killed Braun's rise). That all being said, it doesn't matter, Rollins is going to retain and he'll beat the fiend, or some weird nonsense will happen w/AJ.

Postby **nocera** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 2:11 pm

The Fiend shouldn't be anywhere near the title picture. He doesn't need the title. In fact, the title would hurt him because of how silly it would look. Similar to how Taker never really had a big run with the title because it actually hurt the gimmick.

Postby **Morkle** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 2:22 pm

Yea but this is the current day WWE you're talking about. They have a chance to market an action figure to a major market by putting a title on him. Couple that without actually building stars and here we are.

Postby **Morkle** » Tue Sep 03, 2019 2:24 pm

To be fair to that, I don't think the Fiend should ever speak on the microphone, and Bray should only ever appear in Vignettes. I think that a lone keeps him fresh.

Apparently this is legit... Lol

Hey theres a ppv tonight. I'll be damned..

It wasn’t bad. Nice to see Harper back. The matches were mostly enjoyable save for the Miz/Nakamura. The highlight of the night was the Fiend at the end. And it got a big pop too, which means WWE will blow it and have him lose at Hell in a Cell.

I still think they're gonna screw up everything with Bray, where they're gonna make him more corny kids' show host than fiend. I'm still not 100% with the character, but I'm giving them a B for effort to at least trying to reinvent it.

Missed the PPV last night. Had I not gone to a show, odds are I would have forgotten about it anyways. What did they do with Harper?
