*SPOILER About that NXT Heatwave main event finish....

[BillyBob42]

What Golden Age are we talking about? I'm thinking 2016 time when there were the "Better than Mania" chants in Dallas. If you're thinking more the "late Black and Gold" era with increasingly masturbatory BANGERZ and no talent mobility, that's definitely overrated yeah

The latter. Although my problem here is them proclaiming it's the Trick Williams era and then he loses the belt in 2 and a half months, kind of a short "era".

 

[BillyBob42]

it's also a way for WWE to entice talent from aew and the indies that you don't have to be in the system from day1 to be nxt champ which is smart recruiting even if you find it annoying. Ethan is cool though (though imma troll him now for saying that this company cares about me line knowing he was winning the title lmao)

I think it's beyond annoying, let's just let everyone cut the line because they're an indy darling who was in TNA and AEW, he's not even an AJ Styles who was world champion before coming to WWE.

I mean it's a developmental brand. This is the equivalent of Baron Corbin winning the roh title or smth.

If you are upset, so be it, but I would advocate for patience and seeing where it goes before deciding if it's a shit decision or not.

Right? I mean, I've never seen such hyperbole in wrestling. What were they trying to work people or something?

 

[Bad News Booty]

Yeah i don’t think anyone would have issue if someone like Candace went into ROH and beat Athena

that might be a much harder sell tbf cuz Athena has dominated for 2 years - but I get what you are saying and agree on principle

Also, don't forget people :

Just a teacher on holiday, passing through.

This is from the same company that thinks "death blow' is good hyperbole.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Couple different factors in play.

Shawn is obviously a fan of Page.

And as @Bad News Booty and I have mentioned before, Trick isn’t ready to be “The Guy” on any brand, even developmental. He’s still green.

I think @Hidden Blaze eventually gets his wish and Wes is the one to take the belt off Page

I fucking hope so.

 

[Cwalker]

I fucking hope so.

Just looking at the baby face landscape…

I don’t think Trick gets run number 2 for a bit.

Page is a lot like Bobby Roode where you’re not gonna keep him down there forever so Rumble season/Mania season, I think it’s finally Wes’ time

Would be nice.

But if not, hell I not even be against him just getting a call up himself eventually also. I just want to see good things for him lol.

Trick should win it back, he shouldn't have lost it to begin with.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I don't think Ethan is any more ready than Trick, they might be about to fail again. I don't see how Trick wasn't ready though.

Again, Ethan is a 17-year veteran. Has worked multiple television shows for years. Whether or not you like Ethan is a personally choice, but he’s as ready as he’ll ever be. He’s not in the same position as Trick who’s still learning.

They should've brought Nash Carter back, Wes is okay as a singles guy but I can't see him being a future world champion WrestleMania headliner guy.

I don’t even need all that, it be nice, but I don’t need it. NXT Champ be cool. United States or International Champion be cool as well. I don’t need him to headline WrestleMania for me to be happy.
