Don't forget changing his name to just Rose

i can't get on board with this Adam Rose entrance... The bus should be driving into the arena and they should have paid whatever it took to keep the original entrance music.

WORLD GOES WILD! WOOOOO!!!!

Bo's new entrance from the latest NXT better be kept in its entirety for the main roster second debut or heads will roll like a Westerosi Wedding.

Blame the original band of the song for that.

The story going along is the band immediately demanded the WWE to stop using their song. The WWE ended up making a knockoff version which has been selling well enough that the band has been begging the WWE to drop the knockoff and go back using their version. WWE's been refusing their requests.

Supposedly either the WWE got the rights from the band's studio without the band knowing or the band reconsidered giving those rights and ended the deal.

Well then I hate both the band and the WWE in equal measures.

<font color=goldenrod>Oh god</font> :(

That Goldbergs episode tonight was dedicated to the Ultimate Warrior. It was pretty hilarious.

that connor video makes me sad everytime i see the thumbnail STOP POSTING IT GUYS :(

I must watch this Connor video. :(

Random Noid thoughts:

* I'm really digging The Shield together as faces. Each has developed their own unique personality. Roman Reigns is the cool badass; Dean Ambrose is the crazy guy you just love to love; and Seth Rollins absolutely shines as a high-octane hero. That match against Evolution was a classic and I can't wait for the next battle between them. I also think they could build to a pretty highly anticipated Sheamus vs. Ambrose US Title match for SummerSlam or something. Although Ambrose seems "above" the belt for now.

* Love Paige, but people haven't been conditioned to take Divas seriously. Got no clue where they go now. I actually think a heel turn for Natalya would be the best main roster decision they can make. Paige beats her and Nattie is all "Congratulations honey!" then attacks her from behind.

* Rusev vs. Swagger would be awesome. Especially with Lana and Zeb Colter at ringside. Hearing Colter promo on Lana would be money.

* Steven Richards was always pretty good. His credibility was always hurt after Right to Censor, which was a fun role, but it was just too hard to take Richards that seriously after it as anything more than a hard-working babyface who ultimately falls short. He had a pretty long stint with the WWE, however, and had some great moments with the company. It wouldn't be unusual for the WWE to bring him in as a trainer. He seemed to get all aspects of the business fairly well.

Creatively, I'd have loved it if Richards had gotten a tag team run with a guy who had far more credibility than him. Imagine Richards teaming with a Dave Batista-type, or something like that. If Richards managed to somehow get his hands on a 2nd or 3rd tier title (like the IC Title, or more likely, the European Title when it was around), I think he could have had a fun Honky Tonk Man-style run.

:'(

Super sad video, have you guys seen it yet?

:shifty:

Seriously though, incredibly sad story but so lovely that WWE do stuff like this for their fans.

Nancy Grace will call it roid rage though

I think it was Adam Rose.

I think maybe the sign was made with all the names written on it, probably to save time or so the handwriting wasn't different or whatever, and then Adam Rose's name was covered up.

Next week, I'm expecting Zeb and Swagger to come out with that sign, but with Adam Rose's name being visible and Zeb saying that he added Rose's name after what happened last week.

I just went and listened to the original version as I've never heard it before. Apparently, the band's name is Above Envy. Never heard of them before and I get the feeling they're kicking themselves now. Pretty stupid move from them. Personally, if I had a band, and the WWE used one of our songs, even without asking us, I wouldn't complain as I know that the WWE using the song would most likely lead to more fans and maybe more work with the WWE in the future, like what happened with Rev Theory.

Before the WWE used those guys, I had never heard of them, then suddenly, Rev Theory songs were pretty much all over the place in the WWE.

But anyway, I listened to the original and I personally wasn't a fan. The WWE/CFO$ version is better in my opinion.

I was thinking about the European Championship when I was typing my Richards spiel. I miss that title. It would have been pretty cool to see Richards be a crazy Heel and bring it back at one point, but it wouldn't be officially active. He would just carry it around claiming to be European Champion but nobody would want to face him for it as it's not been officially reactivated. That would then lead to Richards claiming to be the best European Champion in WWE history and also claim that everyone is afraid off him.

This would slowly lead to Richards turning Face, then some Heel who's Intercontinental Champion would mock Richards, saying that he's a joke and how the European Championship means nothing, which would be the point when Richards would turn full Face. Richards would then play mind games and manage to get the Heel to offer him a Intercontinental Championship match, by claiming that the Heel is just like everyone else and that he's scared to face him and how the European Championship is better than The Intercontinental Championship. The Heel would get mad hearing that, from Richards of all people, and challenge Richards to a match for his own Intercontinental Championship to prove him wrong. Richards quickly accepts and leaves, leaving the Heel confused at first, then realising what he's just done to himself.

The Heel would come into the match really confident but Richards wins the match and the Intercontinental Championship to the surprise of the Heel, and the crowd goes nuts. It then turns out the whole European Championship thing was all a plan by Richards to get an opportunity at the Intercontinental Championship.

I see why you do this kind of stuff Noid. It's fun. :y:

Well, in this particular case, it is probably so that their calls can be heard by the camera as well.

I wish more non-WWE fans could be aware of and appreciate when WWE does stuff like this.

I get people at work all the time being all shitty with me "oh, wrestling, you mean two oiled-up men hugging each other" :rofl: but then they have no idea about stuff like this, and John Cena's record Make-a-Wish appearances, and all the other charity stuff WWE does.

<font color=goldenrod>I'm not sure what I liked more about the Connor video...Triple H selling the punch or some of the guys getting a kick out of the fact that he actually hooked the leg for the pin.</font>

I will say, I did love him hooking the leg.

I'm thinking we could get a Barrett-Sheamus IC-US England-Ireland feud that could potentially see a title unification. With a double turn on the horizon.

I think for all the shit Batista gets, it's important to note how cool and nice he seemed in the Connor video.

That first .gif needs a Adam West Batman "WHAM!"

Also, nice veteran instincts by the kid to hook the leg. WWE obviously had big plans for The Crusher with him going over HHH clean and in record time. Too bad his carreer was cut so short. He was going places.

Not SwervesAlot? Fail.

The bigger story here is JBL in front of them doing his Lestrade impersonation. WWE isn't his division.

Holy shit. This is hilarious!

Goddamn, Jay Lethal does an amazing Ric Flair impression.

His Macho Man is amazing too. Oh yeah dig it.

I'm no indy rasslin' aficionado but every once in a while I check out some stuff and see a guy and wonder how WWE hasn't picked up on them yet. I just recently discovered Uhaa Nation.

Pros: He's 6 feet tall (Not HUGE but taller than your typical indy darling), 240 lbs., he's built and he can move like a lightweight. Plus he's only 26. Also, cool name.

Cons: Seems to be utter shit on the mic and that would probably hamper him from ever main eventing or anything. Also, cool name would probably be changed to "Jerrell Sampson" upon being signed.

Could probably have just started a "What Indy Guys Would You Like WWE To Sign" thread or something but nah.

Now, Lana isn't exactly my cup of tea, but... uh...

I was on another tab and didn't realize that it was Jay who was talking. Good share :y:

The biggest is that you can Cena and the Wyatts talking in the background :p

He has the same trunks as me!!! :D :D :D

The next Ezekial Jackson/Big E/Titus O'Neil.

Know in WCW's case, there is a big chunk of footage that can't be fixed or needs other sources because of how badly WCW handled their library.

that was the best flair segment in a long time i am suprised wwe has not picked up jay yet.

lol what

Haven't watched TNA in a few weeks.... of course there has been a major alignment turn.

Seems like every single time I fall behind, when I start watching again, someone has turned heel/face.

I'm sure if you wait a few more weeks, it'll switch back.

"Cobras! Cooooobraaaaas!! Ahhhhhhhh!"

Alberto Del Rio seems to do this a lot

http://i.imgur.com/2P7i8Vh.gif

Go up to the top and just jump at a guy crotch first in a "flying nothing" where he gets punched/kicked/slapped or something on the way down instead of connecting with his nothingness.

Actually, here is one time he successfully completed the Flying Nothing:

Oddly enough, looks like Monty Brown riding shotgun. Mostly because it's blurry, though.

They all look the same to you, don't they?

You know, I almost dropped that joke. And I decided against it.

And honestly, if anybody on the roster looks like Marcus Cor Von, it's Big E. He just needs the sideburns, the leopard print gear, and to start doing the POOOOOUUUUNNNCCEEE.... PERIOD.

No shame.

Why should I be ashamed? Because Big E DOES look like Monty Brown?

If anything, WWE should be ashamed for feeding into the stereotype by constantly hiring fairly similar looking, massive black guys.

It's not like I mistook Titus for Kofi. We don't ALL look alike.

Why does Sheamus keep getting his ass kicked by ethnic stereotypes?

Because he can only get his ass kicked by his own people.

That reminds me of the one and omly time I can remember Flair not just going for but executing successfully, the top-rope diving double axe handle instead of having it countered into the rocket launcher or whatever wrestling terminology the counter to it is referred to as.

Had actually forgotten about this match...
