nikki cross will fuck u up.

wat

what color should it be?

It's kinda open season for special ranks. I was originally thinking I'd do like a board event between now and June 1st where I just gave away special ranks. but then like a bunch of people asked for them in a row so I was just like "well okay this here now is the special event or something". so - here's how you get a special rank: 1. ask for one. 2. I think that's pretty much all you have to do is step one. so this #2 even being here is just fucking stupid. basically just ask and be clear about what you want and what color code you want it to be.

she was on the proboard, don't recall seeing her post on the SMF.

and that's IF mini ghost had a mutual understanding with his partner that it was okay to sleep with other people.

*trying to seem like she had an idea for a rank color*

watching NXT now. opening match was kind of silly. missed spots and just - lots of bad ring work. But you know, NXT is kind of the place for that I guess in that it's the place the new talent hones their craft and such. Ruby Riot film spot was boring. Nikki Cross promo was freaking incredible. The girl is a promo powerhouse. I think in fact, she's far and away the best of all the women in WWE or NXT, and better than almost all of the men as well. She's always in the zone, in that character, and bold as fuck. so - Ember is injured. That means Asuka Vs Riot Vs Cross for the title at the PPV. That's going to be fucking INSANE. I can not wait to see that. DIY does indeed deserve a one on one shot at the titles at Takeover. They've been sitting on Sabatelli for a long time, not sure why. Is his ring work not quite there? Given the opening match and how badly that went, I'm not sure that would be an issue. But I think maybe with Sabatelli, they're intentionally bringing him along slow so as to provide him with the max lift possible when he hits the roster full time. I think he's one of the talents they have their eye on for full development. Maybe his mic skills aren't the best either. The thing about DIY is those guys are smooth as silk in the ring. If you're sticking somebody in there with them, they better be good enough or they're going to come off bad. I'm not sure Moss/Sabatelli are quite there as a tag team or even as individual performers. Not too bad I guess. They're big guys, so they'll get pushed. I think they're super green promo/mic wise and kind of ring-green as well. There seems to be this new school promo-wise, like with the Uso's last night, and now Moss and Sabatelli and a few others lately, where it's like "IMA GIVE U MY PROMO NOW I'M JUST GONNA SPLODE ON CAMERA BRAAAAH" and it doesn't work, because there's no emotion or story behind it, it's just some dude busting a vein to get over as having attitude. And it works on the brass (or seems to). But I think it kind of leaves the audience snickering and scratching their heads a bit. Also NXT announce team is boring as fuck. Almost hate to say it. But there's zero energy there. Regal does the right thing and makes the match (DIY Vs AOP for tag titles at Takeover) in a ladder match. Which - makes me nervous. AOP has the look and stuff, but I'm still not convinced they have the ring skills to be where they are, and a ladder match is a pretty complicated affair for green talent. We'll see how it goes. Ohno Vs Almas next week should be good. Itami Vs Strong is fantastic. These two are clearly carrying on that NXT tradition of fast moving, complete, entertaining and well timed matches. It's good to see NXT just keeps going even as WWE plucks talent. Like they grab up all the women, and the women's division on NXT is as good as it ever was, maybe even better. They keep grabbing up the other talent, and more keeps popping up that's just as good. NXT is almost the opposite of WWE in that, WWE seems to gobble up talent and bury it. NXT seems to sign a lot of talent and develop it to its max potential. I love seeing that. Far and away, the best match of the week (no contest whatsoever) Itami Vs Strong. very good stuff.

the championship match for the next PPV is the same. Like - my choices as a fan for who to root for are boring as fuck company man Randy Orton or mediochre jobber Jinder Mahal.

watching Smackdown right now. That Usos promo was very very bad. Uncomfortably bad. Like they're taking this "OVER THE TOP BITCHES SHOW WWE UR ATTITUDE" to such a degree that it was like a cringeworthy parody. I like Breeze and Fandango a lot. But story-wise I just don't see them as tag champs. But wow if this is the Usos now, I just - don't even want to look at them anymore. Mojo promo lacks Mojo. Even Rusev's taped promo is pretty low key/one take/whatever here's a promo. Kind of a weak night for Smackdown. They really had it going on there brand-wise for awhile. I don't know who slammed the breaks on, but there's been a very clear line they crossed where, like it was awesome every week, then it just went to shit and never quite got it's groove back. Been kind of like this for weeks now.

also while I'm in there I have to wipe your sig because I jussst went through a thing last week with another person and told them they couldn't have such a sig as this about another user. Also Ben has settled down quite a lot since this whole thing went down.

EVERYONE GET SPECIAL RANK EXCEPT SAWDIMIZER

what bugs me a bit about the difference between WWE main roster creative vs NXT creative is how - like WWE Creative seems utterly committed to a very small handful of pushes, and like anybody they don't understand, or don't think should be there, they immediately start to tear down, to whatever extent they can. I think this whole "The artist known as Shinsuke Nakamura" thing is about WWE creative not liking Nakamura and trying to find ways to cool the crowd reaction so they can feed him to a Roman Reigns or Randy Orton push, which seems to be pretty much all they think about.

is this real? or is this joke thing? Also this post has been edited, so it seems like you're on the fence about the whole thing.

sorry all this stuff is coming down on you. PM if you need anything.
