Sep 2, 2017 That episode was a little too chaotic into, moved a little too fast trying to develope the plot and oh my god I'm critiquing this like an actual television show now
Sep 2, 2017 Lol My favorite was last week when someone emailed Meltzer a question asking if The Bucks really got a Cease letter from WWE or if it was just part of the BTE storyline
Sep 3, 2017 The first two nights of BOLA sound awesome. Pre-ordering all three shows as soon as they're available
Sep 3, 2017 Lol no...his answer was it was part of the storyline I was there it was f---ing hilarious. Last night was the best wrestling show I've ever been to. Elgen vs. Riddle was one of the best matches I've ever seen and seeing Kenny live was unbelievable. During the match Penta did a moonsault off the top rope into the crowd on Nick Jackson and got so high his feet took out the light fixture that was on the ceilings and broke the glass of the bulb lol it was f---in insane. I'll post pictures here when I have time...Regal and Ronda Rousey was there too it was awesome she was cheering and chanting like crazy
Sep 3, 2017 He was f---ing OVER...Meltzer said he's gonna go to New Japan but with Regal there I'm sure he is interested in him too...seems like exactly the kinda guy Regal would love to bring to NXT
Sep 3, 2017 WWE actually brought him in and got him set up with Evolve. He has no interest in going to NXT and he's said that with all the talent on their roster, he'd rather build up his reputation and work how he wants, when he wants for the time being. Seemed very excited about going to New Japan in his Observer interview. Can't imagine a lot of people in the WWE being thrilled with him thinking he shouldn't have to go to NXT because of his indie/UFC experience. I'm sure he'd be there already if he was open to it.
