crazy how both womens matchea at the big ppv are lackluster shit

i give props to the WWE for establishing Naomi & Alexa Bliss as main event talent in their respective Woman's divisions. But its mind boggling that the companies 2 biggest stars (Charlotte & Sasha Banks) arent in the main event picture for the 2nd biggest PPV of the year.

In the Steve Austin Show, Austin was not happy with how the WWE has handled Nakamura in his first four months on the main roster.

Austin stated that the WWE is booking him like "just another Joe Blow". He further expanded on that thought below (H/T WrestlingInc):

"You bring him over and he's going 30-minute broadways with half the damn roster. Debuted down there in WrestleMania 32, NXT, with Sami Zayn, hell of a match. Hell of a match! A lot of credit to Sami Zayn and Shinsuke, but here's 'The King Of Strong Style' and all-of-a-sudden, he comes in and he's working Dolph [Ziggler] and it took him a long time to finish off Dolph for 'The King Of Strong Style'. Do you understand where I'm going with this gimmick? That's booking though. What is the plan? You've got this guy who's one of those talents that just don't come around every single day. He's special. He comes in and you treat him like he's another Joe Blow."

Austin even said he regretted that decision, but having Brock beat him with no build up on Raw in a KOTR qualifier? Nah

I bet u things would have went a lot different if there was build up to it tho. Think about it, u got the big thing vs the next big thing, a wrestlemania matchup

Given away on free tv with barely any promo on it AND u want the big thing to lose

Scsa point was beyond valid, he just went about telling em so the wrong way

And another thing would scsa been a big of a star if Vincent wasn't taking a stunna every other week?... not hatin on Austin he was one of my favorites

 

[dalyricalbandit]

After that match with Bret and having him beat Hbk he was already set to be big.

This, even if he didnt stun Vince he was still destined to be the top guy after those 2 matches.

You're an idiot

 

[jono]

Nakamura is just another guy. You push people based on what they do, not reputation. The average fan doesn't give a fuck about NJPW or what he did there because they didn't see it.

Second, Nakamura has had one undeniably great match his entire time in the states (vs Sami Zayn) and was hot shotted to the main event of NXT where he had several good but not great matches with others.

That hurt his stock more than "well they just don't know what to do with this guy." That argument is a fallback when dudes aren't living up to potential. I still dig Nakamura but honestly he's got alot of work to do to successfully crossover into the U.S.
