Somehow Shinsuke is a garbage worker but Borbin is solid, name me 3 solid baron matches. Don't even get me started on that one time you said the Mizzle was better than Sting

Imagine caping for Shinsuke Nakamura in 2018. He doesn't bring anything to the table whatsoever. His first match in NXT 2 years ago when Sami carried him was the only good thing he's done since leaving New Japanese. Just stop.

 

[B Sox]

Funny enough...Nakamura was his best match

Not a bad one. Had to carry Nakamura's corpse around.

The lengths some of you dudes go to in order to defend him is hilarious. He's one of the most worthless champions in the history of the company.

You're not even trying with the trolling anymore

I didn't realize pointing out the obvious was considered trolling. That's interesting.

   "Corbin had a deceptively good year from an in-ring perspective.
   
   There are plenty of preconceptions about him and his status as one of WWE's so-called chosen ones because of the push he received coming out of NXT, but Corbin has routinely worked well with some of the top stars in the industry.
   
   Whether he was working a legitimate main event talent like John Cena or AJ Styles, or defending his United States Championship against Tye Dillinger or Sin Cara in television programs, Corbin consistently proved himself a much better heavyweight worker than he typically gets credit for.
   
   He is faster, more agile and possesses a power-based move set that plays well to the smaller opponents he has encountered on Tuesday nights.
   
   The one obvious disappointment from a match-quality perspective was his series with Shinsuke Nakamura, which never really reached the level most expected from them. They did not mesh whatsoever, and the result was an underwhelming collection of bouts.
   
   That aside, Corbin continued to show the growth as an in-ring performer one would hope to see from a young Superstar such as himself.
   
   That included a better-than-expected match against The Miz at Survivor Series."

I’m telling y’all, Unless Nak wants to just keep making money and retire Stateside, he’s out next year.

Prediction: Nakamura Returns to NJPW at Dominion attacking Kenny, wins the G1, and they wrestle for the first time at the biggest Tokyo Dome Main event in 20+ years. That or he returns before, beats Kenny for the title and Kenny wins the G1 to set up that match.

One way or another, Kenny vs Nakamura at WK14 in the Main Event.

Explain to me this, how is that Shinsuke can have decent to excellent matches in njpw and decent at worst matches in the wwe. Yet, Borbin has literally no matches of note, same could be said of the Mizzle if he's not in the ring with somebody good. Neither Borbin nor Miz can carry a match, Shinsuke can.

"Decent at worst"

We should ban this word

Do IT.

"Decent at worst"

All of Nak's "disappointing" matches with AJ would be considered good or decent had Miz or Baron had been in Nak's place. They have a lower bar than he does.

Didn't want Smackdown but seeing some clips I'm ALL IN on Self Righteous Douchebag Captain Planet DBry.

Did TNDB get new music yet?

He's day bewing soon. Somebody posted screenshots of him from NXT tapings a few days ago.

Saw a vignette for him a week or 2 ago, so I guess he's officially debuting soon

WON: Queen of the Ring for 2019 being talked about

"An idea being talked about for 2019 would be a Queen of the Ring tournament with the main roster women. At this point it’s just an idea thrown around but they are looking for ideas for a second all women’s PPV show next year. With how well the first one was received, one would think they’d want to do at least one a year"

WON: Becky cleared from concussion, not yet cleared from broken face

Apparently why she has not gotten physical yet or worked last weekend's house shows.

" The reason Lynch hasn’t worked house shows or done anything physical on television is that she also hasn’t been cleared as of press time. She was cleared from the concussion, but not from the nasal fracture. Concussions are the tricky ones, as you can’t predict clearance time, but for a broken nose, you can predict it better and the expectation would seem to be that they expect her cleared within the next 11 days. She has limited clearance at this point, so has been on television but was not allowed to be involved in any physical contact this week."

A one night, 8 woman tournament would be nice. As long as it is taken and promoted seriously as a sporting event
