I bet Ember was going to sd

I bet asuka and charlotte is the match.

I kind of want io and kairi to smackdown as triple tails with asuka

So…Ambrose told management over Rumble weekend that he has no intentions of signing a new contract when his expires at the end of April. Apparently he’s been pissed about the creative direction of his character and has been for several years. His recent heel turn was the straw that broke the camels back. He told his inner circle, creative and management that he is “fucking tired of the hokey shit” and that he feels like his character has lost all the “edge” he once had when he was with the shield and shortly after their split.

Ambrose made it clear he wasnt trying to get more money or get creative control of his character. He’s just tired of the bullshit and doesn’t see an end in sight.

When asked about deans situation several wrestlers said “he’s impossible to read. We just know he’s fed up.”

Can’t blame Dean, only good thing about this heel run is his cool jacket (which I also own too btw). AEW bound if they don’t come to terms

Who cares about Ambrose. A 3 star general just like Cody. Great on the mic, but boring af in the ring.

Sounds like the writing as been on the wall for a while now for Dean. It’s probably time for him to move on.

As someone who followed Dean ambrose on the Indy’s when he was Jon Moxely this simply isn’t true. His wrestling styles from the Indy’s to wwe are like night and day. He wrestled a very intense smash mouth style on the indies. In the wwe he wrestles a very safe style.

Do you think his CZW style would translate well into non-indie wrestling?

He wasn’t exactly “czw” style. Like, yeah he did death matches but that was early in his career before he said “fuck it. I’m way better than this”

This is a really good match from he first got signed to developmental and regal was still semi-active. Gives you an idea on how he use to wrestle before WWE made him WWE-ize his style.

Moxley vs. Bryan danielson

It sucks that he’s so boring now, Stu.

I mean, you’re not wrong. Almost everyone changes their style when they get signed to WWE though. Seth Rollins sealed away so much of his aresonal when he signed. He doesn’t do the Phoenix splash, small package driver, grounded super kick, tons of other stuff. They don’t let Owens do the package pile driver or or the swanton, they don’t let Sami do the turn buckle brain buster or the through the ropes ddt.
Even AJ got nerfed (though i think this is more because he wants to preserve his body.)

The list goes on.

Apparently from what I’ve been reading there is no ill will between management and Dean. So they likely won’t bury him on his way out. Especially since it would look bad on wwe and just add fuel to the fire if he went to the Indy’s or a rival promotion. He’s always been professional and does everything he can with what they give him. He’s just tired of what they’re giving him.

Also, the feeling is he would actually stay if New Japan and AEW weren’t options for him. Especially AEW. They wouldn’t be able to talk to him until the summer though due to 90 day no-compete clause in every contract.

Sami still does the through the rope DDT. He busts it out in big matches.

He’s only done it a few times. They let him do it alll the time in nxt but he’s next to never done it on the main roster.

Gotta save the bigger moves for bigger matches!

They also don’t let Sami use any of the suplex variations he’s known for (tiger, dragon, half and half, half Nelson) except against Owens. He may have done a few of them against Nakamura at takeover. Tbh I don’t remember.

It is a work. Like they have shown with ziggler’s latest “on the way out”

Ambrose going to get a BIG Push and a turn. Dude going back to smackdown.

Ambrose going to be the dude again. His promos last night were face like in delivery especially clowning on hhh.

Sami does the half and half and all the ajpw moves when he was a face. He did the torpedo ddt in big matches.

Doing big moves every match is spot monkey jack evans 2003 bs that is such malarky

Also sami was feuding with lashley. No way he was suplexing lashley on his head. He has dumped titus with exploders though as a face.

He also dumped shane and bryan on their necks during that feud. So.

I really want ko and sami to be on separate brands. It is weird to save them for postmania.

Becky has already beat Ronda.

Asuka spoke in japanese so Becky didn’t bury her

Ronda done a good job of turning heel via shitty millenial promos and just being so hateable

Too bad her ego is so big that she cries at being boo’d

Then again ronda is a mark. A giant mark.

English dragon ball narrator wants to work with aew.

Super saiyan cody

I laughed so hard at this…
