Lmao never have I said I was a big fan of blood or your Cornette Crew catchphrase #flippystuff

is that where thats from?

lot of wwe stans love them some jim kkkornette cuz he talks alot of **** about aew like they do

kinda makes since an old southern racist would hate the high flying type of wrestling considering where it originated from

Last night had a bit of everything.

Finn/Zigg, KO/Gable, Edge/Priest all really good tv matches.

Womens tag was actually ok. Oscar and Low being in the ring together for the first time in the company was cool.

Lashley/Styles vs Miss/Chompa was relatively entertaining. More direction with Lumis.

An actual real surprise return that none of the dirt sheets got with Oregano.

Trish looked great.

Hot crowd.

Best thing is that the 3 hours no longer feel laborious. Actually things to be excited about.

This right here. First time since probably the Kofi Mania run that Raw has been more than background noise to me. I'm actually paying attention and getting invested in stuff again.

holy **** how tall is johnnygargano? theory is like 6 feet. didnt realize how small he was. cant be smaller than adam cole

Preview of Gargano new attire

 

[jaypesoz]

Like 80% of the crowd didn't even react.

Never watched NXT so I've never really seen him but damn, he's small. And him being able to jump out the ring under the bottom rope made him seem even smaller

honestly hunter is feeling himself a bit too much. most of the wwe fanbase never watched nxt which is why they lost their wed timeslot so naturally they wont get the biggest pops because the core wwe fanbase isnt familiar with nxt talent

i guess hunter thought the canadian wrestling fans would know him more

they were in cleveland last week. should have had him debut then. guaranteed hometown pop but he went for the big tv surprise instead which is not bad considering the social media buzz it would cause.

I can see Hunter treating Dakota Kai the way TK treats Danny Garcia.

Forced push.

She doesn't have ANY ITs.

Who on the main roster has IT? Not someone who is a former world champion

Well the issue with that is WWE had the tendency to allow any and everyone be a world champ. Stupid Alexis Bliss is a 5x champ, so that is a hard question considering THAT qualification. So I will just name who I think has IT and you can erase the former champs.

I could SEE Logan Paul being the World Champ off CHarisma and in-ring alone. Don't know what his promo is like in THAT setting.

I could SEE them giving IT to Cody but I just have never viewed him on that level. He's worked/politiced his butt of though. I can't fake.

Priest has IT, he just needs to be presented with a "More Serious Gimmick."

I will do RAW now, SD another time.

Lashley: World IT;
Gable: IC IT;
Ciampa: IC IT;
Priest: World IT;
Cody: IC IT;
Ziggler: IC IT;
Finn: IC IT;
KO: World IT;
Logan Paul: IC IT (for now);
Montez: IC IT;
Orton: One Final World IT;
Riddle: IC IT;
Rollins: World IT (I think he has IC IT talent but he has already held the belt);



Asuka: World IT;
Becky: World IT;
Bianca: World IT;
Rhea: World IT;

So Damien Priest. He’s the only one who’s not a former World Champion. Incredible.

I view the World Title as a sacred thing.

I don't think it should just be given to folks out of charity/years of service. (See Kofi)

Few folks should hold it and it shouldn't be hot potatoe'd around.

We will also, "Wait and See" how the Gabe Steveson dude turns out.

But right now, they haven't developed anyone NEW to be taken serious in THAT manner.

That is a WWE problem.

You answer your own question.

 

[FellowchuckerMikey]

You answer your own question.

Here are the people on main roster Raw and Smackdown who can be world champ: obvious people like randy and Roman excluded

Seth
KO
Cody
Gargano
Riddle
Finn
Drew
Montez
Theory

Not saying that everyone here should win one but they all are more than capable of holding the belt convincingly if booked correctly and they’re given the chance to become better.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

This was good.

Wait, Gargano just showed up in the ring? The hell kind of debut is that?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

But define, "more than capable of holding the belt convincingly?"

What does that mean to you?

They can be the world champ. I wouldn’t see Roman Reigns or Brock Lesnar and think that they’re more fit to be world champion. They aren’t any lesser to me. Just different.

Do you have a list of the A&W ITs?

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Case favorite Steiner's match?

World champion ITs:

MJF
Malakai Black
Eddie Kingston
Ricky Starks
Andrade
Daniel Garcia

Honorable mention:
Wardlow
Jamie Hayter

 

[robpzee612]

I said IT before and imma say IT again, Malakai just doesn't have IT to me.

 

[FellowchuckerMikey]

You are now my sworn enemy.

 

[Blue Mamba]

Daniel Garcia doesn’t do anything for me either. He doesn’t have that believability to beat bigger guys like Bryan or Styles can

Never has, never will.
