Rumor is they might be trying to find a female to be Sister Abigail.

Whoever it she, she better be good on the mic.

Hopefully whoever she is, is good in the role. If that new guy they brought in is worth anything and when Erik Rowan returns, the Wyatt gone be a serious problem next year.

this is interesting

– There was a ridiculous amount of Kevin Owens shirts sold at the NXT Takeover on Saturday.

– Triple H and Michael Cole always produces the commentary team on NXT and did so this past Saturday at NXT Takeover.

– Some people within 2K Sports have said that they have had talent come in and do old-style interviews where they are just given bullet points and they can cut unscripted promos.

John Cena is, of course, said to be the best at these, but one WWE star, who is also very good at these types of promos is Xavier Woods.

Apparently, Woods can hang with Cena when he does unscripted promos.

http://wrestling-edge.com/lance-sto...tion-of-the-divas-revolution-or-it-will-fail/

Former WWE, WCW and ECW star Lance Storm updated his Q&A section on his website. What stood out the most was his take on the Divas Revolution and what the WWE is lacking with the movement. Down below is what he had to say about the topic.

“…let me first state that I am a big fan and supporter of women’s wrestling and have a great deal of respect for many of the women involved in the “Divas revolution”. For the most part I think the Divas Revolution is being screwed and unless they change the way it is being presented it will fail, or at least not succeed to the level it could or more importantly should.”

“In NXT they are women wrestlers, they are competing for the NXT Women’s Championship; a title belt that looks credible (actually better than the Men’s Title in my opinion) and therefore can be respected. We were never told that the women were going to be taken seriously or that they were going to have good matches and be respected. They were just presented on the show in a respectable light, allowed to focus on competing to be a champion, and given enough time to do a good job if they were able. The women worked hard, had good matches, were given good angles, and fans started to care, and they got over. It was in a sense Organic.”

almost like what they tried to do with the "yes movement", went overboard wit it

The reason why The Undertaker's victory over Brock Lesnar finished the way it did is because Vince McMahon felt that The Undertaker had to win the match, however he didn't want him to beat Lesnar clean. So they came up with this controversial finish of Lesnar getting a visual tap out on Taker with Taker taking advantage of the confusion in the ring and making Lesnar pass out and not tap out.

WWE did a similar concept with Steve Austin's finish against Bret Hart back at WrestleMania 13.

Pretty sure rowan is done with wwe (soon to be released).

He was trash anyway, outside of standing there with a lambs head mask on during Bray's promos he was pretty useless

Looking back at SummerSlam instead of Taker tapping the lights should've gone out and when they turned back on have Brock and the ref confused and then had taker lock the hells gate on Brock. That would've made both look good instead of having taker looking weak by tappin

He was but it would be dope to have a bigger Wyatt stable with at least 4 big men. The promos by Wyatt are dope af and this would be the new corporate ministry if they took over the WWE.

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Damn I miss Punk and Bryan. I wish I could rewrite WWE to put them at the top of the list.

just watched the elmination chamber match between shield and wyatts... good shit bruh, good shit

On this week’s episode of Wooo! Nation, Ric Flair dropped the nugget that Orton is hoping for a reduced schedule, similar to what Shawn Michaels worked during his second run with the company. If he gets the HBK deal, Orton wouldn’t have to work most house shows, and would get fairly regular breaks. Basically, instead of bumming around not doing much, he’d show up for quick, outta nowhere appearances and feuds, then head back home.

Of course, Orton wanting time off doesn’t necessarily mean he’s going to get it, although, according to the Wrestling Observer, he’s already started skipping a lot of weekend house shows, and has been on one vacation so far this year. He’s also been taking time away from the ring to continue his acting career in movies such as the upcoming The Condemned 2: Desert Prey.

Makes sense. There's no place for him creatively, but he still gets mad love. Drop him in and out to push the younger generation. Shit, they could even drop him into NXT for a minute and let him do his thing there. They could bring back Leo Kruger for Adam Rose and have them beef on some Hunter vs Hunted shit.
