Pandering to minorities and foreigners

Nakameme is not a draw
Meltzer joins in the second segment to talk about Okada vs Omega II. Should be a gas.

>"It's the best match I have ever seen" - Dave Meltzer
Confirmed
>>2760434
Lmao E Drones eternally BTFO.
Dave Meltzer : "A lot of people who were complaining (about the 6.25 * rating) didn't watch the match"
Its a war of the board
On one hand you have MTV/Disney of professional wrestling
On the other you have MXC/Early 2000s Spike TV of professional wrestling
Who will make it iut on top?
>>2760277
WWE is currently experiencing the final years of WCW.
NJPW is coming out on top unless WWE unfucks themselves quick and listen to it's fans
It's a NJPW fans think WWE cares about them.
>>2760277
I'll take Styles over Omega any day.
Have you ever worked yourself into a shoot, /asp/?
Jeff Hardy's retirement.
>>2760192
Mark Henry's salmon suit "retirement"
I was fully worked during Mundo vs Mack all night long recently when Mundo faked his leg injury. I bought it 100%
This is what your average wwe mark looks like.
Why havent you made the switch to New Japan yet?
Can't decide who's more depressing between Rosenberg and this fag.
This is what your average njpw mark looks like.
Why havent you made the switch to Impact Wrestling yet?

>wcpw channel is filled with 95% top 10 WWE lists
nice try drone
Okay, /asp/. Forget about memes, the real question here. What do you think about the wwe cruiserweight division? Name 3 participant who should left it and go to main roster. Is it dead or maybe it still has some chances to shine?
>>2760165
Neville
Aries
Gallagher
>Q1
It's a shitty side show that tripped up at the starting line.
>Q2
CWs are on the main roster
Neville is a god among boys, he deserves better than this shitty ass division
Why does WWE make a concerted effort to not call the title "heavyweight" and other seemingly pointless shit that just kinda makes it seem more home and gay?
I don't know but it's one of the reasons I won't be a touch sad when Vince dies. I'm so sick of Sports entertainment superstars talking to the WWE Universe about the championship title opportunity.
who dis bitch?
>>2760151
Because of that every promo feels relatively the same, not making wrestlers different character-wise.
>Knocks on door
>Come on /asp/
>PARTY TIME
What do you do?
guess i'll do a line with the man called sting but only 1

Start making funny faces.
Who has the most to gain from winning the first Women's MITB match?
>Becky
Gets probably the loudest face pop among the women. Has already been champ once, and has a history of being a loser when it really really counts. Furthermore, cashing in MITB is kind of a opportunistic heel thing to do, Becky shouldn't win.
>Charlotte
The most credible woman. Even though Naomi is champ, but Charlotte feels like a bigger deal. If she is champ or the briefcase holder, we lose out on the possibility of two big womens matches on any given show.
>Tamina
Might not be savable. Fine enhancement talent, but shouldn't be involved in title scene at all.
>Natalya
Is established, but not entirely as over as she should be. Her winning may be good, but the crowd would probably bore of her really quick. She's better in "Total Diva" style feuds, playing to a separate audience.
>Carmella
Currently gets 0 pops, but might have an alright upside. Especially with Ellsworth as manager. A briefcase run might exactly what is necessary for her to grow as a character. Imagine her coming out, James following her with a bedazzled briefcase. She can hold it for a while, get real obnoxious, and case it in on Becky eventually.She should win, she has the most to gain.
Becketty says she wants to be heel. She's obviously winning the briefcase, Charles will beat Naomi for the belt anyway, then Bex turns on Charles next year to cash in. Screencap this.
Probably Carmella, or Charlotte if she cashes in on a man and fails but puts in such a good effort it gets her super over
>>2760014
Becky would be a terrible, terrible heel

He means that wrestling is fake an no title is important and is only putting it over in a to sell tickets.
>This week, in a survey of fans who attended the event in Orlando back in April, WWE revealed a list of potential host cities in the future, asking fans to gauge their interest in each location - with London included alongside the likes of Toronto, New York and others.

>some random city is mentioned in a survey
Newsline: THEY WILL DO A MANIA IN THAT CITY!!!
hosting it in a Muslim city does not seem a good idea

>assuming us britbongs are going to pay to watch this crap
>Reminder that WrestleMania 34 is going to be about 2 in 23-2 becoming 1 when Roman Reigns goes against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
>Reminder also that Roman Reigns is going to beat Brock Lesnar and #2BECOMES1.
>Reminder that this is pretty much WWE's way of ret-conning Brock overcoming The Streak, and giving it to Roman instead.
Why.
>>2759863
If Brock sticks around I'd like to see him get into some main-event level feuds, but not in his god-mode that he's been in since breaking the streak. It'd be interesting for him to have some /comfy/ feuds, but not just show up and steal big 4 main-events from the people who carry the show year round. If we're lucky the other world championship will have an interesting feud, and Wrestlemania will be decent. Lesnar vs Reigns is actually a pretty good match, but a lot of people are soured to it because it's taking up another mania main-event.
Why are they waiting so long to put the title on Reigns again?
Seriously just get this shit over with at Summerslam
>>2759863
>#2BECOMES1
that means sex
>shove him aside
>make Ramen your top guy
>give Ramen the carder burial instead of him
>dont bat an eye after he takea a break after mania
>ratings literally on life support
>beg him to come back and save your brand
why does that stupid fucking carnie still run creative?
he should just retire and let all the fucking cash flow into his pockets with HHH at the helm.
Why are they referring to him as a free agent? In kayfabe, did he just decide he doesn't want to be on smackdown anymore?
>>2759823
Even BMJ doesn't want to have anything to do with this shit product
>>2759851
ratings are in the toilet for BOTH brands. E is getting desperate- that's why he's getting booked as a free agent. now john has an excuse to show up on both SDL and RAM
