Wrestling Thread: Mods please close

it was hilarious for all the wrong reasons though. Uhaa/Apollo never worked in ROH. :coffee:

Yeah that’s what made it so good for sure.

at least as far as I know of he didn’t? He may have done a dark match at one of their tapings or something. but AFAIK he did’t.

I know Gargano worked a dark match for ROH. That’s it though. It’s also the match he found out the hard way that one of his legs is shorter than the other and got a hairline fracture in his spine. (ouch)

I know Sami Callihan/Crowe worked a few 6-Man Scramble matches and some tag team dark matches.
I wouldn’t constitute either of those as “runs” though.

Or maybe kayfabe Corbin thinks that ALL of these indie wrestlers came from RoH because it’s the only one he’s ever heard of, like somehow Nakamura will also be from RoH. Kayfabe Corbin thinks that there’s WWE, NXT and then RoH in a little gym somewhere in New Jersey.

Why did Crowe leave NXT? Wasn’t backstage pretty positive about him? He had a program planned before Seth’s girlfriend had to go all KKK.

Oh how did I not notice that nod to James Bond…

I think Crowe left because he didn’t like the position he was in…but it’s said that he left on good terms and has an opening if he wants to return.

It sucks because I really liked his hacker gimmick.

So far he’s doing amazing on the indie circuit.

That hacker gimmick would have worked if he actually used it as part of a real program with someone. He never really got that chance. He was just the weird, short, energetic guy who came out sometimes to job to people.

Die Roman Die
When it’s Reigns, it bores
The Big Dawg gets fixed

give it up.

Eat a whole pepperoni stick

So gallows and anderson debut by destroying the usos, cousins of reigns. Who is feuding with AJ Styles. Former bullet club member.

This can’t just be coincidence right?

Yeah…he never had a real feud with anyone.
I was hoping that when Apollo Crews debuted, him and Solomon would’ve had a lengthy feud.
I still feel NXT dropped the ball on him.

Nah, did you see crowe’s look

He was wearing a damn one piece less flattering than bull’s. He had skin more orange than hulk. And the hairstyle od a troll doll. Dude looked like a fucking troll doll. His shitty look. His awkward moveset, and his omg dark character did him no favors.

That is entirely on him.

I’m not sure what him and Apollo would have even done together without Crowe going 100% heel. Crews hasn’t shown anything beyond generic good guy. Not the right person for that program imo. Doesn’t matter now, Apollo is on Raw and Crowe is back in the indies.

You say he didn’t get to utilize his hacker gimmick, but my theory is he was feuding with Zahra and no one told her.

theirs sumtin in that nxt water…right around rollins debut…that nigga upgraded 5 levels. lmfao. i miss him running around the ring jumping on like 5 people in a matter of 3 seconds.

the hacker gimmick was stupid. they should have just let him be his “New Horror” gimmick he had in the indies where he was just a slasher movie version of Raven.
he and ambrose as the switch blade conspiracy was one of the only good things about CZW.

As for Crews they honestly just need to give him a mouth piece. Put him with Heyman except don’t push the whole “Heyman guy” angle. Push it as kind of the Dangerous Alliance he had in NWA/WCW except instead of a bunch of scumbags its a stable of super athletes

I would love it if wwe brought in mvp to be the hype man for apollo

But instead, why not use somebody like Mark Henry taking him under his wing.

I liked how mid match aj turned into a heel with the stiffness and had the crowd begging for sami to win.

I think they will run that sami sick of losing storyline here. It has to end with a title win.

I don’t think kalist is hurt, but that match was awkward and seemed like improvised to make up for kalisto being hurt

edit: found Anderson and Gallows debut on youtube. Holy shit. Gallows doesn’t even look like Gallows anymore. He’s ripped as shit now too.

Both guys were getting in super good shape heading into wkx

So of course with down time they got in even better shape

Funny he went back to the luke gallows name, and i love that machine gun kept his name

I would hope they don’t get called balor club, and get their own cool name. But subtle hints at where things could be headed.
