cb_diamond Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Just now, djchapsticks said: Her rumoured new name is Dewdrop, so wouldn't worry, she'll be future endeavoured in jig time... A wrestler I've never got the appeal of. I suspect you're right. Assume the pairing with the abysmal Eva Marie will be brief cringe followed by complete oblivion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I realise that Piper Niven was probably never going to be a main eventer, but 'Doudrop' is a career killer. Everybody on that roster except Lashley and maybe Sheamus is being booked as a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Goldberg apparently back tonight to confront Lashley. I like him, and feel he still has a place, but not in (yet another) title match. Beyond the entrance, I can’t see crowds taking to him well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'm chuffed for Nikki, but this gimmick reeks of Vince suddenly noticing that superhero films are popular. A bit like when he gave Paul Burchill the Jack Sparrow gimmick years after people had stopped caring about Pirates of The Caribbean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 TBF there have always been superhero types. The Hurricane, Rosey the SuperHero In Training, and Mighty Molly spring to mind. And obviously Hulk Hogan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Karrion Kross must have set a new record for the length of time it took to go from NXT star to complete jobber. Apparently Jeff Hardy's last match before this was a loss on Main Event to one of Jinder's goons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Can they not just keep to the format where a guy builds up in NXT, wins the title, has his run, tells the story of him getting defeated, then move up? Asuka got away with it because there wasn't really anyone worthy, but NXT is stacked at the moment. Just no need to have Kross come up, particularly if you're going to do that to him. Can only assume from what happened that it's going to be part of something larger, but why do that with your NXT Champion when you're seemingly building to him vs Samoa Joe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I enjoyed RAW, plenty of exciting stuff on it. Loved Jeff getting his old music back too, but going over Kross? In minutes? No wonder Triple H is so reluctant to let these guys go. He’ll win the return no doubt, but what a bizarre way to start the guy off on the main roster. Delighted fo see Keith Lee back too, but losing to Lashley (competitively at least) to make way for a Goldberg feud sums up a lot of the problems the company has. Still canny go the gimmick, but another Scottish WWE Champ is class. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 All the dirtsheet chat (for how much you can trust it) is that Nikki came up with the gimmick herself and she's obviously been rewarded for it even if is pretty naff or clunky. Weans will eat it up tho and she does deserve something for being a lot better and over than she could ever have expected to be. Obvs she won't be a long term champion or even particularly lengthy but that's fine she deserved a moment like that however brief. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I suppose. I just thought the gear made her look a bit like a goof, but if the weans eat it up and she keeps getting reactions like last night then all power to her. I think Sasha/Bianca 2 is the plan for SummerSlam, so I’m not sure where Becky fits in yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoon Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 love Nikki Cross, but I wish they’d just let her be Nikki Cross. She doesn’t feel like a real person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoon Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 They’ve made Drew’s sword such a big part of his gimmick now I’m convinced he’s going to actually kill someone off with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 To be fair to WWE, they seem to be going all in on making Nikki Cross work, rather than her just being a comedy interim champion they can cast aside eventually. Of course, they'll probably have her job out and be an afterthought at Summerslam, but not a bad place to be if you're putting on a great showing against the company golden girl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 It sounds like Nick Khan's cutbacks are now even affecting the normally pretty good production values. https://twitter.com/dudefelice/status/1422398092851261469?s=19 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
