I hope joe and rude are up soon already, they're getting old

 

I think Joe will be up very soon. Roode probably won't be until later next year, he'll most likely be Shinsuke's next feud, there's not a lot of heels down in NXT

 

Roode is guaranteed to be a fantastic heel in WWE right? Like Joe I can see having some trouble adjusting possibly, but Roode is gonna crush it once he gets the call up.

 

He's already like 40, yeesh. Aging sucks

 

Guys clearly didn't get the Kevin Owens joke...fat fetish...cmon.

 

Which makes me curious if they'll force Hero to lose weight or not.

 

It just came across as kind of a weird joke...

but Hero will without a doubt lose weight working for WWE. Joe slimmed down within a month of being there, I wouldn't be surprised if Hero does either.

 

To each his own, thought majority here were giving off a weird kinda vibe so I went with it...anyhoo....

I've actually been watching old NXTs from 2013 that I've never seen and Hero as Ohno was actually pretty entertaining for the most part. What was the reason he was let go originally?

 

It feels like a cool win for Hero. He (allegedly) gets released for a lack of drive to get in the gym and stuff, puts on a ton of weight afterwards, and with that weight puts on the best work of his career with a schedule that rivals the wear and tear of the main WWE roster's.

 

Ha yeah that's pretty funny actually

 

Didn't CM Punk claim that Hero was supposed to have Reigns spot in the Shield too?

 

Punk pitched it, but I don't think it ever got traction if I recall correctly

 

Ah

 

Yeah, seemed like Reigns was getting that spot no matter what. should have been Hero. man is a real big dog.

 

Stuff like this is why I like wrestling:

 

Welp, tonight we find out if the Emmalina gimmick is a swerve, or if they've killed the RAW womens division for the next few months

 

Isn't tonight Salute to the Troops?

 

Airs Wednesday, it's its own thing separate from Raw/SD. Taped tomorrow though, I guess at Smackdown?

 

Yeah, its in DC. Show starts at 6:15, so I imagine they tape for an hour or so and then have an intermission before Smackdown.

I know Big Show is gonna be there as well as a few RAW superstars. Gotta imagine that Cena appears too

edit: OMG the card from last year

-The band Train performs

-Comedian Howie Mandel performs

-Jack Swagger vs. Rusev with Lana

-Mark Henry vs. Bo Dallas dressed as Uncle Sam

-Ryback vs. Kevin Owens

-Paige, Sasha Banks, Naomi and Tamina Snuka vs. Charlotte, Becky Lynch, Brie Bella and Alicia Fox

-Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, The Usos, The Dudley Boyz, Kane and Ryback vs. Sheamus, Rusev, King Barrett, Alberto Del Rio, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman

 

Ah okay. I thought they were just going to have a really bad go home show.

 

As if not enough of our veterans suffer from PTSD as it is.

 

Watched some early FCW stuff, they were talking Reigns up as the next big thing even since those days as Leakee.

 

I mean, Vince sees a dude built like Batista/Orton with ties to the Rock...probably tore both quads thinking about it

So great.

And this is why my Dad took me to wrestling shows instead of my mom.

 

Looking like Tiger Mask V vs Tiger the Dark at WK11 is going to be Ibushi vs ACH.

Is it weird their biggest PPV of the year is during the week? For us east coasters, if the fourth is a Wednesday, that means it would be early morning that Wednesday, right? Gonna try and make sure I can watch live.
