Got to love Enzo and Big Cass. Brilliant call up to Raw. Hopefully the big wigs treat then right and not feed them to the Usos on a few months.

Love the way Enzo ends his sentences with the low-talking "How Ya Doin'?" at the end of his sentences.

"I'm here because my parents got it on...... how ya doin?"

All of a sudden the tag team division is stacked again!

Few more coming up through NxT as well.

Blake and Murphy
American Alpha

AND YOU CAN'T TEACH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was about to give up in wrestling after not giving a crap about Wrestlemania.

But then I saw Enzo and Cass' debut, and then I saw the Bullet Club, and then they're giving Zayn v Styles time on RAW...

But I still look at who is champ and think why?.......... Rollins coming back can't come sooner.

I would've loved wwe callimg up carmella as well to complete the crew. Also nxt signed an aussie tag team tkmd or something

Also little tid bit. Enzo came to the attention of trips via a gym visit. H heard enzo speaking and h goes you wanna wrestle .
Also forgot to mention emma is being booked propelry in nxt as a badass. No more dancing

If they continue to keep Roman as that tweener, I have no problem with him being champ. He draws huge heat. So putting AJ Styles against him will help get AJ over more as a face.

What was killing things was having Roman as a whitemeat babyface fighting heels. He would generate boos, and his opponents cheers, messing up the reactions they want.

Now they have finally let him fight babyfaces, and are acknowledging the boos, they can make proper use of the heat he attracts.

My hope is that they let him have a fully fledged heel run, but if they just keep him as that slightly cocky role (I'm THE man) that will work too.

The pairing of him and Bray was great too. They could have a great feud with Roman as the arrogant champ, and Bray as a babyface. The last time they feuded the dynamics didn't work because Roman was the babyface getting booed, and Bray was the heel getting cheered.

We just recently passed the 15 year anniversary of Vince McMahon buying WCW.

I happened to be watching some old episodes of Raw on the WWE Network - around mid-late 2002, around the time Bischoff was made General Manager of Raw.

It was interesting how prominent so much ex-WCW talent was on the programming from 2002-2003.

If only Vince was willing to buy out the contracts of the WCW big names when the invasion angle started, the angle could have been amazing. As it was, WCW was never able to be credible with Booker T as the only main event guy coming in.

The other thing that was noticeable was how much the show flew by being only 1 hr 30 min, and later on 2 hours.

Those 3 hour episodes of Raw just make things drag so much!

Am I wrong in saying trips wants it back to that time frame but Vinnie Mack does not?

Correct. But they are pretty locked in to 3 hours because of the extra $ value they get through advertising and their TV contract obligations.

I think that is what is at the heart of their problem.

They have been able to put themselves in a position where the creative quality of their product has minimal impact on their revenue streams.

Have a look at Wrestlemania this year - I think most people agree that it was pretty weak compared to previous Wrestlemania events.

Yet they have generated their highest ever live event revenue, and WWE Network subscriptions are now up to 1.6 million.

They can afford to compromise the quality of the product due to the lack of competition, and due to them creating revenue streams that are quarantined from the ups and downs of weekly ratings.

And it looks like TNA is on the verge of bankruptcy too. So there may be a whole bunch of talent on the market for WWE. Surely a brand split has to be on the cards...

Ring of Honor is about to increase the number of PPVs they are running - seems like they are no. 2 now. Shows how far ahead of the rest the WWE is in terms of scale.

Having said all that - Raw was actually really good the last 2 weeks. But so hard to consistently maintain interest in a 3 hour show.

I really hope a brand split happens. Wishful thinking I know but it would be amazing if it happened.

Conor McGregor out of UFC 200, he and Dana had a falling out.

WWE sign him up now!

BROCK vs CONOR with Ken Shamrock as special guest referee. VINCE MCMAHON - MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!

Would be very interesting

Tbh though Booker was probably the best WCW wrestler is terms of fitness. Remember when Steiner came to WWE? He was so stuffed and slow. Nash was past it and did his knee and Scott Hall was still fucked. As for Goldberg I thought they got the most out of a pretty one-dimensional character.

There is truth to most of that. But I always thought they could have made the storyline interesting by having the ex-WCW guys like Jericho, Guerrero etc be accused by the WWE guys of being sympathetic to WCW etc, string that out, then finally those guys "sign" with WCW. That would have filled the squad out a bit.

With Goldberg, I think they tried to play him for laughs a bit, with the Goldust thing he did??? I dunno, I think they could have done better with him.

With the older crew (Hogan, Flair, Outsiders), they didn't necessarily need to wrestle a lot. But having them there with the invasion would have given the whole thing more credibility. And imagine if it would have been led by Bischoff from the start. The heat would have been unbelievable!

RIP Chyna :'( it's just sad now.

Wonder if she will get into the HoF

Probably not. Her after wrestling activities and her recent rants against wwe would be against her. But in saying that trips might be the type to say its all water under the bridge

So Samoa Joe just Finn Balor for the NXT title

I find it rich that WWE try to save face by rejecting those they deem of unworthy character into the HoF. What a joke.

Intresting. He might ve debuting on the main roster soon then. Bullet proof balor club to reunite?? Also samoa joe mighr head up as well as the rumours say he might just after either summer slam or next wm

Only 2 which is chyna and benoit . Wwe want owen in the hOf but his wife wont allow it

PG kills WWE

She will get in I think. Don't know why but gut feeling say's they will let her in.

Trips has stated she deserves a hOf spot. He might be pushing vince to admit her.

Chyna might get in, Benoit obviously won't. It's obviously an oversimplification but it makes 0 business sense to let in a pornstar or murderer into the HoF. And sadly even if Chyna does get in posthumously it will be because it makes sense from a business perspective

Heading to the main roster to work with bullet club?
