>>1126217
Yes if the booking was any good, which it aint
I pray to the wrestling gods that somewhere down the road nakamura gets moved up to the main roster and they don't fuck it up entirely.
>>1126217
wwe has 2014 tna tier booking, so only some of those will reach their potential.
maybe aj.
shinsuke might.
joe might.
ambrose's le wacky guy gimmick will help.
idk about the others.
And they're all going to be booked into shit while Ramen Rings overcomes the "haters" for the next 15 years like Cena before him.
We're exiting the golden age, it was the golden age five to ten years ago when most of these guys were in their primes before they tried to enter WWE to finish their careers off when they realised they needed to make as much money as they could while their knees still worked.
>>1126217

Apart from that pretty good list.
>>1126283
Neville could easily make a strong case for being the best of that bunch.
>>1126254
Saw nakamora in person last night vastly vastly overrated. Zayn carried him nak did some things right but his offense is so limited he's highspots were good but zayn did the lifting.
Too bad feuding with Reigns will ruin them all.

I get it, you never watched him in NXT.
>>1126293
> this dumbfuck thinks anybody believes him or takes him seriously
>>1126283
Go back and watch his NXT matches with Owens and Zayn. WWE gives him either 5 minutes to work or puts him in 6 man tag matches. If we're going to accept this age of small, steroid-free wrestlers, you have to keep Neville in there based on talent.
>>1126293

The numbers don't lie m8
I was just thinking this today. The roster is fucking insane.
Nakamura
Owens
Zayn
Styles
Rollins
Ambrose
Neville
Balor
Joe
Itami
Lesnar
Cesaro
Crews
Gable & Jordan are on their way
LA SOMBRA GETTIN' READY TO BRING THAT HEAT, TOO
They're having this cruiserweight tourney where you KNOW they're going to sign the guys that impress HHH the most. There's a very, very good chance Zach Sabre and Ibushi are brought in this year. We've entered some weird timeline where Cena is a fucking workrate wunderkind, too.
And the weird thing about this awesome roster? Triple fuckin' H is the guy most responsible. If Vince would step back from the booking, this company could be on a legendary run.
>>1126352
The fuck are you talking about? Rollins was WHC.
>>1126381
>>1126381
Ya if they cut the PG bullshit and let someone else book this would be a great roster. Minus ambrose he needs to get cut.

>>1126217

Kota Ibushi cameo'd on Takeover so he's practically guaranteed to be signed.
King Cuerno was rumoured for the Cruiserweight Tournament but he's still contracted to LU/AAA
>>1126397
Not the same guybut what are we supposed to use as metrics then? Obviously holding a belt doesnt necessarily mean your that good see roman. But normally that at least means your a good worker.

then his good highspots and the flying knees which were good.
I do admit I underestimated his showmanship and his theme was great.
>>1126440
He was also the first person to do a Butterfly Suplex in a WWE ring for what seems like years, if not decades
>>1126440
Go back to LU or ROH or whatever, or better yet, just go watch a circus or something since that's what you seem to like best.

Why do people keep saying he can speak English well?

it was pretty good,
i think seth pulled it out once and one of the divas actually did it a lot i want to say either beth or nattie.

Forgot to add Meltzer has reported they also want Okada, Omega, and the Bucks. It's like they're looking at the most downloaded CAWs to decide their roster, it's fucking so great.
>>1126436
Being made a transitional champion to put over a guy your boss thinks is the next Cena on the biggest show ever doesn't really make him Hogan in WCW, champ.

With the exception of Joe, they're all passable at best on the mic, and most of them are shit. So no, we are not entering a golden age of talent.
Austin, Rock, Foley, Taker, etc. That was a golden age.
Hogan, Savage, Piper, Heenan, Steamboat, DiBiase. That was THE golden age.

if you're still watching it can't be that big a counterpoint
or you're just too retarded to stop watching something you're not into
>>1126381
a heel stable of Roode, The Revival and Corbin or some other big guy would be money.
>>1126217
>not mentioning the future of the tag team division
shiggy diggy
RAW on Monday going to explode when the theme hits
>>1126634
Hogan matches sucked 99 per cent of the time
Savage was entertaining for comedy relief but was also meme as fuck. His matches were mostly boring muh double axe handle after muh double axe handle. Literal voice babby that was a great character but also one of the most overrated guys of all time
Piper was based, his matches tended to be a bit crap after 5 minutes though. Just punches and le airplane spin
Heenan was a god before he tarnished his career forever with that shitty wcw run. Wasnt as enjoyable without monsoon
Steamboat was bland in every single compartment, very athletic but very vanilla
DiBiase was a great heel but got boring quickly, like within 2 minutes of the bell ringing
>>1126690
I watch it because I want it to get better. The matches are fun, but you realize that it's the same fight every week with no stakes. They had Dolph Ziggler face Kevin Owens 4 weeks in a row.
>>1126221
>>1126223
Whats the deal with Corbin? I dot watch NXT too match, only Take Overs and some random episode. I watch Corbin and I actually like his character, his ring skills are not the best but they are not bad, I like his finisher and that...
But only people who likes Corbin here are the ssame people who likes Ryback or support Reigns. Why?
>>1126745
he's far from being ready however NXT is a developmental system, people who dislike him are clueless.
>>1126745
Corbin is big but has been booked boring for a long while, and also wasn't that great. He's improved, but isn't amazing or an "indie darling," so people shit on him because he's a developmental talent instead of someone with a decade of experience and ready to go.
>>1126699
Enzo and Xavier are gonna have fun if they are allowed to go outside their usual lines.
>>1126754
>if they are allowed to go outside their usual lines.
ha ha, oh you
>>1126745
He's basically Reigns but if Vince had let go of his pride and turned the guy heel.
The problem with Corbin is he's been in NXT for years and has yet to really get that much better. He's not terrible, he serves his purpose as an upper mid card heel really well. He's fun to boo, he's just not going to be putting on any clinics in the ring or captivating anyone with his promos. But not everyone can.
>>1126754
yeah that will be the day
why did they promote that drifter guy's match with crew for takeover for weeks and then not even include it on the aired card
>>1126763
He's gotten better in ring he's lost a ton of weight and moves better. he's improving at the rate you would think somebody who is new to this would.
>>1126773
Yeah Bull Dempsey's got a bright future in NXT.
>>1126773
You can honestly look at him and tell me that you see him as a champion one day? Zero charisma, a look that doesn't fit his gimmick, and mediocre ring skills with the occasional shitty banter with the crowd. He looks like he always wants to start crying.
>>1126787
Not a champion no but he's slowly getting better he's really athletic and has upside
I was joking last night when Kane decides to hang it up he could be new Kane. Because you're right his look is terrible he needs to not be shirtless ever and he needs to shave his head that baldspot is hilariously obvious even watching on my shitty tablet. Put him in a costume of some kind
>>1126217
golden age of talent but dark ages of creative
>>1126293
>>1126921
>i cant handle people telling me the hivemind is retarded
You can tell Nakamura is impressive because he can have that haircut and 4chan won't turn on him.
>>1126964
i called him a fuccboi last night but i think his gimmick is being the ultimate fuccboi so it didn't work
>>1126973
>>1126998
nice tumblr gif +1
Is that guy from the Revival supposed to look like Arn Anderson?
>>1126973
Stop.living paycheck to paycheck faggot
>>1126745
Corbin is pretty fucking based in all honesty. Last night showed that he's definitely learning from NXT and managing to better his character and in-ring skills.
I'm a pretty big Ryback fan, but I'll safely admit Corbin is everything Ryback should have been. Heel Ryback is just plain terrible, and he's not even THAT much better as a face. When Regins is concerned, Corbin is definitely better at being "that big guy who hits people with big power moves and what-not". The fact that Corbin actually managed to get a 50/50 chant going in a super-smark crowd against Austin fucking Aries, even after doing some pretty good shit-talking to them, is just beyond me. Glad to see he's hopefully going places. Hope they don't fuck up/rush his call-up.
>>1127035
Steroid-free Perry Saturn?
>>1126629
Cornette is just cranky and since all of his examples of correct booking are 80s and 90s stuff, so babbies who have no real sense of history don't understand it. he's not saying present it like JCP did, he just advocates for less comedy and more logic based writing.
I think it's kinda retarded to refer to the guy who developed Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton, etc as out of touch garbage, personally.
>>1126624
I like cornette on a bunch of issues but he seems like too much of a blowhard and still a bit out of touch, I just don't think him and wwe mesh well
>>1127066
>Corbin is pretty fucking based in all honesty
>I'm a pretty big Ryback fan
>>1128209
dude ryback is the greatest thing of our generation
he needs a rabbit gimmick though
>>1128178
See whenever I listen to him discuss WWE I I respect that he has a great 70s/80s wrestling mind but that he just seems out of touch with what modern audiences want.
Then again, I remember he's also the guy who developed Lesnar, Cena, Batista, and Orton so I don't really know what to think of him.
>>1128209
Damn, she used to be cute.
>>1126400
>Implying individuals draw money and not the brand
If cena quit WWE and worked For JCW, JCW wouldn't start making a lot of money, their gate would be the same and so would WWEs.
Hogan already proved this.
>>1128423
>Batista
Developing means forcing him in your wife's fucking terrible stable?
Nothing about the Batista from Evolution and beyond had anything to do with OVW. He has even said so.
>>1126217
An absolute golden age of talent.
Too bad the creative team is a bunch of icepick lobotomy patients who can't even be arsed to get some build up going for wrestle fucking mania.
Guarantee everyone on this list will get fed to Reigns.
>>1126217
Almost all of them have been around for at least 10 years m8. Been living under a rock?
>>1126591
Ah yes, that Ricky Steamboat was renowned for his mic skills

You're being SAWFT
We're in a Golden Age of talent, yes, but a Stone Age of booking.
>>1126787
He didn't look at-all out-of-place in the #1 Contenders' Match with Zayn & Joe
>>1130565
It is all true and you know it
t. someone who actually grew up in that period
>>1127035
Based Scott Dawson actually wrestled as an Anderson on the indies
>>1127101
Your most recent example of his successes are nearly 15 years old. How is that not out-of-touch?
He couldn't even fucking book ROH properly in 2011
>>1130575
It isn't and you should know better.
> Savage
> boring
>>1130582
Not that guy but your logic is basically "fuk dat old fag only tweens like me watch wrestling" so nobody's going to listen to you lol
>>1130585
His matches had a tendency to it yes.
His character work was top notch and he kept you engaged with his voice and erratic behavour, but muh axe handles got shit fast
>>1128423
What really got me about him was when he went ape shit over Joey Ryan's dick spot and even talked shit about colt cabana for his comedic style. Like dude, it's funny, pull the stuck out of your ass, it dosent have to be 100% serious all the time
