Yea, in 2022

Unless I missed some veiled sarcasm...
This is 2025, NXT stars are household names now. That whole development narrative is for Evolve and the others.

If an NXT star doesn't translate to the biggest stages such as Wrestlemania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, etc., or go to and find success in AEW or Japan, then you can't call them a success story.

ValeeLove:
Jevon wey dey botch pass botchamania? I've seen Oba, even if there's more to him, it can't come out in that roster. Plus, his dresing almost makes me not to take him serious. Does he speak like us too? I don't know the rest.

The fans were eating Oba Femi's gimmick up when he appeared on Smackdown. Also, what is wrong with his dressing? Answer this because of all the weird takes you've had, this might just be the weirdest

pu7pl3:
See wetin you dey talk

It's true, they have to come to the main roster, get over and win something big to have truly "proven themselves".

ValeeLove:
I recall telling Pu7pl3 to watch All In when he was complaining about WWE programming, nothing wey CoolUsername no tell me. They won best show, could you imagine.

Not sure why I'm being namedropped, I've been vocal about my displeasure with Triple H's booking this year

samistry:
So nothing dey Oba, Jevon, Kendall Grey and the women matches? Okay o.

They aren't breakout stars because they haven't "broken out" yet. They are still in development

samistry:
Danny Garcia?

Danny Garcia wishes he was this jacked

samistry:
Match was getting real good until the bullcrap interference. Why have that match only to end it in DQ?! The way Drew has been booked into a chump ... smh

Do you think they called an audible and cut it shorter than it was supposed to be because Cody may have blown out his eardrum?

ValeeLove:
she had so much potential on the main roster, had me interested in NXT's women division that time (something I would never do) and uncreative created that nonsense character and that was it. Grayson, 2nd only to Bron Breakker as the hottest prospects from NXT in my book. I had to Google what you're saying to be sure; man!

Alba Fyre was actually doing OK in NXT with the weird druid shtick especially when she joined up with Isla Dawn. Next thing you know, they bring them to the main roster to lose to Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler so they can needlessly unify the NXT women's tag titles with its main roster counterpart. Then, they are mostly off TV and never presented as a threat until they suddenly win the titles in their hometown only to drop them almost immediately. Fast forward a bit and Isla Dawn gets released and Alba Fyre becomes a lackey for Chelsea Green with no upward trajectory in sight.
Sad.

As for Grayson Waller, he's put in a tag team with Austin Theory and we all know how much Triple H seems to hate that guy. They become tag champions and still take L after L. Then they tease a breakup angle endlessly only to do the actual breakup off screen. Now they have Waller as a chickenshit lackey to a group of chickenshit heels.
Another thing, maybe Waller needs to Americanise his Aussie accent for the WWE crowd to understand him better. Notice how the likes of Rhea Ripley, Finn Baylor, and Drew McIntyre started getting better reactions on the mic when they did it.

Fro5t:
Yep! Main account got banned for 10 years.

What did you do? That's longer than Diddy's sentence

Fro5t:
I only knew of Knights of Sidonia but I'll look up the others.

Tower Dungeon is ongoing and it's crazy good

samistry:
Taker dey fall hand these days

It's fine. The dark Undertaker character has retired. He's more Mark Calloway these days, just a middle-aged biker dude who is allowed to crack dad jokes

samistry:
I agree with Valee on this one. I don't think any harm in Oba losing to a top star like Cody.

Losing to Cody Rhodes will set his momentum back, imo. Unless it's done with something crazy like a Ricky Saints interference and subsequent heel-turn, there's just no point in having Oba Femi lose

Fro5t:
I'm listening

Blame!
Knights of Sidonia
Aposimz
Tower Dungeon

PS: are you kaycee?

He's literally me fr fr

Fro5t:
Facts. All hits, no misses. No other mangaka comes close

Tsutomu Nihei

samistry:
ValeeLove, please explain how Darby climbed everest, got hit by a bus, thrown into flaming table. yet it was a continental classic match that got him injured.

It's like how Pac would constantly do top rope fuckinators and hit power moves only to shatter his ankle doing a baseball slide

samistry:

That is very Big Poppa Pump coded

samistry:
This guy is still over despite his booking

What's the IWC mad about this time?

ValeeLove:
what's the ruckus about? You guys think they'll refuse to show AEW?

AEW: Unreal loading...

samistry:
They already have a TV deal running With WB until 2027 which won't get hampered by the takeover. My concern is when it's time for a renewal..

This is what killed WCW, not Russo

Fro5t:
Moonsault into a crowd of wrestlers is always a bit of work to pass off as real. With what we know now after the death of kayfabe, yeah we try to give them a bit of leeway cause they have to position well to catch the jumper while also avoiding injury. But I always appreciate those who put in effort to make it just a bit organic. Brawling while keeping an eye on the jumper or just timing it well enough so they only have to act groggy for a few seconds before the moonsault lands.

If they can't make this spot look believable, let them shelve it. I'm pretty sure Iyo can come up with something else just as good or even better.

That Skye Blue spot was absolute ass. She simply had to act like she was aggressively trying to protect her partner's pin before taking the tackle.

Just look like you're too busy fighting or have the teammates of the person hold the opponents in place.

samistry:
I thought it was only AEW wrestlers that had this issue of not taking lessons.
No wonder they don't understand fundamentals anymore. Some kind nonsense you no fit try am when Vince was in charge.

Isn't this the same Bayley that was complaining that she was left off the Wrestlemania card? It seems to me that staying back and watching matches that don't concern you doesn't mean shit if you're not a draw.

Pesin don finish work, to commot na wahala again. Abeg, these people are always on the road on their own dime as "independent contractors" but they should stay back and watch.

As long as you're doing your job well I don't see the need to be the most loyal Fed soldier.

ValeeLove:
anyone else Pu7pl3, CoolUsername?

It was pretty good but people are overhyping it

samistry:
Shit went overboard the last 4 to 5 years.

I swear, everybody should just have Samoa Joe'd that spot

ValeeLove:
how do you know he's taking a title?

No, I was talking about the title of "best fall"

ValeeLove:
who did it better?

Titus O'Neil is still the goat. At least Brock Lesnar isn't taking this title from a black man

The Brockmaster fell on his fooking arse

[quote author=samistry post=137557665]Funniest thing I've seen in a while.

They finally let Tonga Loa talk and he made Solo break character 😭
