Hideo doesn't home with me either....
He has some stiff kicks, other than that, nothing sticks out like Breeze's personality and crispness, Neville's high flying, owens' presence or zayns likeability..... |

He comes up to the main roster and he'll be a comedy gimmick within 6 months

The whole deal with Itami right now, is that he's a big star in Japan.
I'm sure with time he'll get some nice storylines going and will develop some character. Just can't see him really going as far as guys like Neville and Balor will. |

Wasn't Khali a big deal in India, and that's why he was signed?

Think the Observer said Itami's realistic top expectations is becoming a big star at the IC/US level with anything higher as an icing on the cake for his career. A lot of it has to do with the WWE's traditional mentality with Japanese wrestlers and him having to overcome a lot to get to that point.
He's been gradually getting better on NXT but the best thing for him was the WWE giving him all the time needed and not rushing him like the original plans were. |

Balor is amazing. He has "it". Itami, not so much.

Balor got "holy shit" chants just with his entrance.
Never seen that before. |

If Reigns had cut promos heading into the Rumble about how 12 years ago, Brock Lesnar beat his cousin so badly that it ended his full-time career with the WWE, and no one from his family had the opportunity to get their hands on Brock since -- maybe he would have had a chance. But Reigns may not be able to cut that good a promo. Maybe if Reigns had won the World Title at Money in the Bank and been the guy to get destroyed by Brock at SummerSlam, it would have created a nice personal story of redemption for him, but that didn't happen either. Maybe if there wasn't a more deserving and over candidate right there in front of them, fans wouldn't have given the company such backlash. Eh. |

Always felt like The Brian Kendrick and Paul London were deserving at another run in the WWE. Really enjoyed those lads

If Kendrick turns Eva Marie into a good worker, then he deserves a Hall of Fame induction.

Paul London always struck me as a huge douchebag who thinks he's way better than he actually is.

I know people are mocking Jeff Jarrett for these really slow GFW reveals, but I kind of find them charming. They're showing the care and meticulous planning that is going into this production. A lot of people whinge that stuff like ROH doesn't look sleek enough -- well here's Jarrett revealing some technical details about the tapings.
I'm probably more curious than I would be at this thing, because there is very little information going around. |

JR has said that he is against working a full-time schedule again, but in a perfect world, the WWE would still have him calling PPVs. And Howard Finkel doing the ring announcing on them. It'd add a level of prestige and history to the proceedings, and help differentiate them from your RAW's and your SmackDown's.

I don't think putting Reigns in the Ziggler role at Survivor Series would have helped any. Part of what made that whole deal work was because it was Ziggler; a guy the crowd want to have moments like that.
A large part of the crowd haven't taken to Reigns, I don't think giving him a big rub in that match, with him hitting Spear after Spear and pinning opponents left and right would have helped him. You could Cena in the Ziggler role and half the crowd would have hated it, that's the reaction Reigns would have got. That section of the fanbase would hate him more if anything. They disliked the Royal Rumble win, and telegraphed a Title win at Mania. Adding another accolade to him wouldn't have built his momentum, it'd piss the fans off more. Reigns has a lot going for him; a Superstar look, a level of presence, a quiet charisma, passable mic skills, decent in the ring, but he lacks tenure. The ground swell of support for guys like Ziggler and Bryan had a lot to do with the years they've put in and the (perceived) little they've been given. You can't manufacture the "underdog" support as easily as they'd like, you only have to look at Cena for that. |

The WWE schedule that got leaked has the Raw Season Premiere back in Baltimore this year in September and Washington gets the go home RAW for WM 32 like last year. Now I'm not feeling so bad about missing payback next month

Man, that whole comes off really goofy playing it back. I can't remember exactly what Vince did to upset everybody, but I remember thinking at the time that it's really weird the entire lockerroom is standing around just grimacing at this boss they apparently fear. It would make sense for them to smile as he walked past. London also doesn't look genuinely happy to be there. He's playing the character of kid that doesn't want to be caught out.
They should have had him be behind the explosion. |

I'd probably watch Tough Enough if it featured Chris Jericho, Booker T, Trish Stratus & William Regal.
