Just when you thought the Bray Wyatt character couldn't get any dumber. That duel voice nonsense was an extra level of awful.

Kevin Sullivan wants his gimmick back at this point.

Bray and Bo's sister Mika Rotunda actually has worked with WWE in the TV/PPV production side of things. Might as well make her a manager for Bray and build the storyline for Bo joining the group.

Logical, so it won't happen. Ricochet is rumored to be signing with WWE soon supposedly so he would be making debut in January as it's 90 days after LU season 3's final show. (Rumble entrant?) |

Just watched Kalisto-Enzo match. Hats off to them taking a suplex off the top rope and the Salina Del Sol off the top rope later.

Watching a Raw repeat, and one of the commentators on Raw just said 'I would rather go dance with Mr Brownstone for the rest of the night than listen to any more of your nonsense, Cole' after a Guns N Roses reference....
Really? I'm guessing the meaning of the song has been lost over time. Not entirely sure advocating heroin fits the WWE family ethos!!!

I love the Matt Jackson promo in ROH where he plays up the counter-culture of ROH. He really connected with the crowd with the "us vs. the WWE" angle. I think that it will connect with a lot of disgruntled WWE fans.
I just hope that all the people that complain constantly about the WWE will look around and see all the great wrestling that's out there. I don't think there have ever been as many strong alternatives to watch as there are now. |

Neville walked out. Nia Jax apparently did the same but has been talked into a leave of absence. Rumors persist of quite a few people talking to Cody on a regular basis and wanting out so they can make more money on the indies (he's crushing it supposedly. Top that off with Dallas/Wyatt/Offerman out with viral meningitis and it might be time for Steph/Hunter to make their move and force Vince out.
I'm not a fan of the ROH/NJPW style, but I'm stoked that they and others are doing well enough that people leaving WWE are finding good paying work that they can make a living on. |

If Nia Jax thinks she can make Cody type money in the indies, she's in for a rude awakening. I would say she's more in that category that can make a quick buck for 3-6 months, and then fades into the background. Her best strength is her size which is an extreme advantage in the WWE, therefore I think her best bet would be to stay in the WWE.
I agree with a lot of these guys though. If you're not 6'5" and 280, you are probably going to be misused in the WWE. There are a few guys who get all the focus (almost all of them big dudes), and then there's dozens of guys (many of which are extremely talented) who are literally just time fillers. |

I think Nia's best bet is to try and get work in Japan and hopefully build her skills into a Bull Nakano/Awesome Kong type of monster.

Kurt Angle replacing Roman Reigns at Sunday's TLC show. It will be Angle/Rollins/Ambrose v. Strowman/Miz/Kane/Sheamus/Cesaro
Also AJ Styles stepping in for Bray Wyatt and will face Finn Balor. Apparently there's a bad virus going around, possibly meningitis. |

Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt are both off the TLC card for Sunday. Kurt Angle is replacing Roman and AJ Styles is taking Bray's place.

It's viral meningitis. Bo Dallas and Bray Wyatt were the first to have it. Then JoJo and then it started spreading like wildfire.

Wow. I know they won't cancel the PPV but that's a huge blow. The card was already really weak outside of the Shield reunion and now without it, I don't know why anyone would care. It also kind of sucks that they have to blow two potential draws on 2 days notice. Balor vs Styles should be a WM type match that is built up for months. I'm sure it'll be fun but the no build aspect hurts. Kurt returning isn't a huge deal but something you'd also probably like to build into a storyline that matters. Not even blaming WWE for this as it's terrible luck. |

To me it makes the show better. I guess giving away Angle's return isn't the best idea, but in the WWE Network era, it probably doesn't mean anything either way. As far as Balor vs Styles, I'm a lot more excited about that then I was about Balor vs Wyatt again. If they give them enough time, it should be really good.

At least start to plant the seed. They don't have to choose but if you want to screw with the Bucks/Bullet Club at least throw it out there like AJ did with Nakamura in some 6 man match before with their stare down. |

My crazy thought on it is that WWE actually did purchase ROH back when it was rumored, or maybe just recently. Cody cutting the promo on Reigns was the start of an angle. Any hints towards the Club on WWE TV have been with this moment in mind and the illness going around pushes things forward a bit. I know it won't happen, but that would wake people up until Vince inevitably ruins another invasion angle. |

I know this won't happen but turning Balor heel and having him team with The Club would be interesting. Gives The Shield a legit opponent going forward. Also provides an opponent for New Day at Survivor Series if they want to do the interbrand thing. And maybe if they need something for Brock at the Rumble Balor could play the role.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I think Balor is a boring face. |

My hunch is Angle doesn't make it into the match tonight. He gets laid out backstage, or simply told he can't compete by Steph/Vince, and the replacement is Jordan. Outside shot is this is Joe's return and his replacement of Reigns leads to more of the "real Samoan" tension between the two.
Also still wondering if Owens leaving the Smackdown tour for personal reasons is a smokescreen and he screws AJ to give Balor the win and kick off a feud between those two. |

I believe Angle was wrestling indie shows right up till he started in WWE. He should be in shape and able to at least give a few minutes in the match.

Pretty sure he failed the WWE physical when they brought him in for the HOF last year or he would have worked a WM match. I can't imagine the known neck issues cleared up enough for them to let him go work a TLC match. |

While it didn't save the PPV, Styles-Balor was pretty good. Should have gone longer and got rid of all 3 vegetable segments (yes I'm predicting one more).
