Re: WWE Off-Topic

The Viking Raiders at least is more tolerable than The Viking Experience.

They should be billed as from Oakland, Minnesota.

Shouldn't that be Las Vegas, Minnesota or some nordic country?

Re: WWE Off-Topic

As far as Black, WWE wanted to keep Zelina and Black together as they are married.

Cue to a year or two from now when they want to leave WWE, Vince will be able to bring this up to try to guilt another year out of them.

Build them up to win the Tag Titles in the first Mania at the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas. Then bill them from Las Vegas.

WWE Vegas Raiders in the home of the NFL Vegas Raiders lol.

I'm surprised they went with Viking Raiders. Actually isnt so bad, but I hope they dont force some cliche viking stuff on them. Dont make them the next Highlanders/Bludgeon Brothers.


Once they realize Embers nickname, they'll surely change if. War Goddess? 2 things that's wrong with it.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Better than that trash "the Viking Experience" but I still can't understand why Vince needed to change it in the first place.

They went away from the "War Machine" name they had in Japan and the indies once in NXT, but Vince had to go that extra mile (to change it again)

I'm happy they are being forced to split up Ricochet and Aleister. They are too talented to be in a rushed, pointless tag team.

Hopefully, Andrade can get a main event push and Aleister turns heel and defeats Balor for the IC title.

Cesaro and Sheamus have been split up as Cesaro is now on RAW while Sheamus is still on SD Live.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I would be a million dollars that Vince doesn't see Aleister Black as a main eventer. Or Andrade, for that matter. I could have told you that back when both were over as hell in NXT.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

That's crazy. So now who do they bring back over to Raw?

I'm actually happy though. Was hoping Andrade and Zelina would stay on Smackdown.

So was Charlotte.

And he'd be right. (Unpopular opinion, I know)

Or Andrade, for that matter.

And he'd be be right here too, as much as I disagree.

WWE is a promo company and Andrade's english promos are...not great. It's a shame too, because he has everything else that works as a WWE main eventer.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I’m happy with all this news. Viking Raiders is a better name although it’s redundant but whatever.

Andrade is better suited for Smackdown and so is Black. They’ll have more success their I think. I agree they both probably never rise higher than upper mid card.

The forced split of Black and Richochet is great.

The split of The Bar is...odd.

Sheamus's career may be over in all honesty. He's been dealing with spinal stenosis for the last few years at least and now he's dealing with a concussion as well.

Oh damn I didn’t realize that. I was pretty anti sheamus for a long time but loved his work since joining the bar.

Yeah, I think we all kind of know WWE's idea of what makes a main eventer, and it's not hard to spot. Whether that makes sense in 2019 or not is another discussion.

Another clue is when a talent spends more than a year or so as a star on NXT. That's usually a bad sign.
