Strowman is back with WWE.

I don't know is anybody missed it, but Chiampa did an off TV promo for Logan Paul some time ago. It was great. Like really great. I don't know if I need to post the link.

Hello BryanCharley, seen your recent articles on pro-wrestling. If you wanna join a wrestling community on this platform, then I recommend here. Purpl3 is a really smart dude and everyone here is nice, cool and intelligent. Thanks.

So HHH is planning on changing the belts designs. Finally. It's been a long time coming.
AEW's backstage state is not in it's best as they have been series of real-life backstage hear going on to the extent that Tony Khan has to sit everybody down and address the issues before Wednesday's Dynamite. On the top of that story is CM Punk's backstage issue with some AEW talent, especially Adam Page. Also Thunder Rosa and Brit Baker having issues. Also Eddie Kingston an Sammy Guevara.
If you watch NJPW and AEW then you should check out Kenny Omega roasting Will Ospreay after Dynamite went off the air. It's epic. The video is on their YouTube channel.
Tony Khan addresses WWE and claims they are messing with his talents. He even sent the a now leaked email to buttress the news. Wow. Which AEW talent do you think WWE would try to reach out to? I'm curious.
That's all the news I can remember.
A Sports Based wrestling product is still the best.

Valeelove abeg wetin happen to best in the world?

na wa o. Why me? What I do? The Best in the World had been injured and it came back to hunt him in the match, plus AEW got 1 million in the ratings in a long long time. There's going to be a rematch at All Out. So that's their story. I wouldn't do it that way, but it is what it is. That guy is the best in the world; the atmosphere when he came in is megastar calibre. It's too bad he's in the lesser popular company, but atleast he gets to do it his own way. WWE guys just recently got the permission to say "wrestling". Lol.

Meanwhile there's good news for the wrestling world. The god of wrestling, Kenny Omega, in back!!! I never thought I would be this excited for his return. Wow.
Who watched Punk's promo on Dynamite this week?

Anyway Big Johnny has been fired, HHH has brought back many guys and plans to bring back even more, CM Punk is back from injury, Bray Wyatt to return, It's Punk vs Moxley at All Out. What else did I miss...? Oh, Goldberg says he isn't apologizing to Bret Hart again, he said he felt and feels sorry, he's apologized a million times and says he's tired and has moved on since Bret refused to accept it.

E make sense?

Since HHH is pushing NXT guys(I heard he's pushing for Karrion Kross vs Reigns for a world title, USA says RAW needs one), maybe we can see this guy again. It was an ugly incident, but investigations prooved him innocent. Who else wants to see him asides me?

Fro5t:
Fam, it's been roughly 2 years since I was last actively interested in RAW. Haven't even watched a full RAW show this year. But by the gods, I cannot wait for tonight. Might even got to sleep early and try to catch it live. Papa H sabi the work wella

you watch AEW during those times?

pu7pl3:
Na wa o...lazy writing.

it was stupid writing.

pu7pl3:
Lol, which untalented people are we hyping

to me. I believe that's like 60 to 70 % of NXT 2.0. Maybe the excess gimmick is preventing me from seeing their talents, but I'm not to blame. Let them be themselves.

pu7pl3:
Check this one out

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1553027201913655296?t=JI8SavQVfs8RZ5LaVuvpDw&s=19

Good. Do this. We don't need the 'big time' gimmick, we need this. You can play a 'good guy' or 'bad guy' and still be natural. That's what makes you attractive, because people can connect to you and that's what makes you realistic and can be taken seriously. Now you don't need to wonder why some wrestlers aren't taken seriously; it's also why LA Knight's modelling gimick is and will fail. Nobody believes that. The more we unlearn and relearn, the better.

pu7pl3:
Wait DB lost? Lemao

guy no echo am abeg. I'm still pained. It was due to a very weak interference of Jake Hager grabbing Bryan's leg from under the ring through the skirt which he eventually got loose from and still Garcia was able to take him down, put him in a sharp shooter and he passed out in a matter of seconds. I'm so disappointed in AEW. Make them just hire me make I book for them. This is so bad. The crowd was so silent after it happened.

pu7pl3:
That means you've not been reading my NXT REVIEWS

well, I don't care much about NXT unless I'm seeing the likes of JD Drake, Breakker and Grayson Waller. I wasn't referring to you per say, but in the general wrestling world. We keep spending time hyping untalented people when actual talents don't get the spotlight.

Bryan Danielson loosing to Daniel Garcia in his return match = By far the worst decision AEW has ever made.
Talk about stupidity from the booking department. Even WWE can't make this sort of mistake.

Meanwhile Ricky Starks seems to be having his mementum being reduced. That guy is the mini version of The Rock. I hope it all gets better for him.

What do you guys think about Grayson Waller? I don't think he's the future, I know he's the future. There's barely anything I can think of that can stop him from getting to the top of the industry if all things go well. He's one of the very few(if not only) that gets natural and organic boos from the crowd and he knows how to use it. Unfortunately he doesn't get much mention from anybody. That sucks. Give me more Grayson Waller please.

Notice how Austin Theory has become more watchable since he stopped the selfie gimmick? That's just how it works. Natural works best. We need to start unlearning and relearning.

pu7pl3:
I've seen these promos already, I especially enjoyed the FTR own with the Briscoes

yeah. WWE should learn to do something like that. They can also look at NXT UK for some examples.

pu7pl3:
Guys make sure you watch SummerSlam.

https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1551673645977796612?t=Xlc--1x2uiCU1HdM1sYAgw&s=09

Valeelove this is the kind of promo you've been talking about right?

yeah. Something like this. You see, he's a former sport guy and so it's easier to just be himself; something lots of WWE guys have lost due to the excess acting classes, gimmicks assigning by creative and instructions from management. It's also why someone like Bianca seems natural, she wasn't a fan before and she was a real sportster.
If you want to see more of what promos should look like, AEW does something on their YouTube channels. I'll send 2 promo links for their recent ROH PPV. It's not scripted, or atleast less and they are being themselves.

Promos like these are IT.

Just imagine we had someone like Seth speaking this way and it felt natural and had a sport feel to it.
Hopefully we'll get there.

Una don watch this video?
Great funny stuff there I tell you.

pu7pl3:
Great write up man, Kudos.
I believe Netflix or one streaming platforms would pick this story up one day.

thanks. Hopefully. Lol.

pu7pl3:
You Gerrit

lol.

Its a feel good story. The type that only the unpredictable hands of life can write. It's a story of redemption. He worked his butt off to get to the top of the ladder, yes he was greedy, but he deserved the happy ending nonetheless. He had to be punished and humiliated for something he barely did while the chief perpetrators went scott free because they had what he didn't have at that time - status. So he had to watch his career almost end before his eyes and would probably never be revived; but as the cerebral assassin that he was, he was relaxed, was patient, worked even harder, until his big break finally came and The Game was born. The events of the Curtain Call didn't hold him back as he thrived forward in his career as a true company man, became a success and a legend. There were rumours since 2011 upwards that he was gonna take over the company, and oh let's not forget he married the boss's daughter, but I believe she loved him too. He did everything right, he saw the future, he was the right guy to move the company forward away from the chairman who's villainous character was blurring into real life and everyone wanted to leave. He created NXT. We were glad and gave him good marks. He was the president of talents relations, he was the COO of the company. It was all him and we kept waiting for the time and moment when his creativity would implented, and then... Disaster struck, Vince employed Mr Khan and he gained so much power, the VP of talents relations replaced him and he lost that job. Nobody likes Laurenitis, but not only was he the new president but there was also Bruce Prichard, kissing Vince's butt and telling Vince all he needed to hear and got more power, influence and money as a result. No one liked the duo of Johnny and Bruce, hell, they were even referred to as perverts by female wrestlers. Vince took over HHH's creation while Bruce ran it to become 2.0, a sorry and nauseating version of the actual NXT. It couldn't get worse, or could it...? HHH was struck with an illment that almost took his life, his wife left work as many claimed her services weren't needed anymore. Thank God he survived. He stayed at home with his family and began to see life in a different light. What was the use of the power, the need to have it all at all cost when all that could be taken away from you in a moment. He cried on live TV. He made ammends(check out his photo with his arch nemesis and rival Scott Steiner at Hall Of Fame ceremony). He might not have been at the top again like he has always been and always wanted to be or had his dreams and goals fulfilled, but he had what actually mattered in his life, his wife and kids. To him that would have been a good ending, but God or life had more plans for him. The evil people got caught up in their own sins in one of the most defeating and degrading ways possible, an illicit affair with an employee and bribery. And just like that one by one the evil group was brought down, from big Johnny to Kevin Sullivan and eventually Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon. The guy who took his job as president of the talents relations was fired and the rightful owner given back. The position of head of creative of NXT was returned back to original and rightful person and not just in NXT but the whole WWE. HHH and his wife now run the company. It's a great story about the importance of patience and meekness. It is a sweet redemption story that only life can write.
Plus did I tell you guys that WWE's stock jumped up as HHH assumed office?

pu7pl3:
Brock and Roman should fight forever as far as I'm concerned

you mean like this?

Who has done 12 hours here?

pu7pl3:
I wonder what they mean by "he rubbed people the wrong way"

i dont' know. But I think everyone will be fine.

AlphaStyles:
obsession bro anything that has to do with sex trends well in Nigeria that's why when Africa Zone blog on Facebook trend a report about what every country dreams about in Africa and they said Nigeria dreams about sex I NO DOUBT AM OR SAY NA LIE after all see as our population dey explode every year

that too. But if you call them to order, they'll say it's 18+. Kuku turn it to a legal porn show.

Be like these guys dey use jazz or Nigerians are not smart or disciplined enough to see how this charade is absolutely not valuable. But think about it, a show where you get to live your normal life, get money, fame and recognition in return without putting any work. That's a lazy Nigerian's wet dream. Enjoy it for the months it lasts, when it's done, you'll go back to your life that needs fixing and handling.

Kaycee7:
On the point of choosing to be deceived, I'd like to point out that some of us simply transitioned from viewing WWE as a sport to viewing it as live theatre.

Kaycee7. Many people say it's entertainment. No sir it's not. It's sports and entertainment. The history of Pro-wrestling deception is why we are in the position we are today. If it isn't represented as the combination of both, then it shouldn't exist at all. Do it right or don't do it at all.

Meanwhile them don comot Max Dupri from that role. I told you guys. Those things don't work, atleast they had an excuse of little experience when they did it 20 to 30 years ago. But in 2022? Please call out their trash booking when need be.
And Eli Drake should be a wrestler. If he doesn't fit a wrestler then fire him, why make him a manager? Because he can talk? That's the highest height of insult to him and to managers to think a managers job is just to talk.

pu7pl3:
Valeelove, the pop Brock got when he came back tho.
That was a real Pro wrestling moment don't you think?
Cos at that point nobody knew if his exit was real or a work.

he's a big star, what do we expect, and yes you're right, the real-life elements works in wrestling. And to me it proves my point that the movie-like storylines aren't what makes it work. I'm choosing my words carefully cos I'm not against storylines as a whole, but I want a sport-based storyline. So we have to ask ourselves a honest question, why does real life elements work when it should be the fake storylines that work? So yeah, Brock is a star. I just wish we had like 5 of him, else we'll have to manage Brock vs Roman at Mania 39.
