Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
It's worn off for me. I'm fine with the Hardys sticking around as there's still a chance of the Broken Universe coming through.
Possibly, though Summerslam sounds like a good option to have him lose the title.

I can't imagine he ever gets it back once he loses it.
It's possible he holds onto it that long.

I prefer a drunken squirrel but same thing.
Any reason why we can't have Balor vs Neville for the cruiserweight title at SummerSlam?
Balor doesnt have to win it nor actually become locked into the division itself(regular Balor in the match, someone interferes to cost him the win for next feud). Just think it would be a great match to do and would be a win-win for all involved going forward, especially Neville who should be moving upwards instead of being stuck in one division, lMO.

That would be a major demotion for him and I don't think they want to ruin his career that way.
Now Neville moving to the heavyweight division and fighting Balor.....that has potential.

No problem with that. I just want them to feud tbh. Just seems a great match up to look forward to.
IC title feud, perhaps?

Maybe, but they would need to rebuild the belt a bit first.
I was actually going to ask about Balor and Neville for the cruiserweights. As you said it would be a major demotion for Balor but why? Really Neville has shown he can beat heavyweights and it's clearly on a different class to Davari and co. Neville is probably on the same tier as Balor. It could be WWE's perfect opportunity to cement the Cruiserwight division by having a big name like Balor say he can take Neville on.
Judging by what you said though (and just knowing WWE for too long now), Im guessing you don't expect anyone who already competes in the heavyweights (Rey Mysterious is another example back in the day) to move 'down' a division for the cruiserweights?

By definition, the cruiserweights are considered nothing but filler/a novelty act. When you have Balor chasing a shot at Lesnar, going down to fight on the same show as Ariya Daivari isn't the biggest deal.
Also Neville isn't o Balor, a former World Champion's, level.
Probably but not to the same degree.

I just read your Best In The World review and you seemed very annoyed at the fans cheering for Bullet Club because they're heels. As someone who went to the show I have to say that might have been the most pro Bullet Club crowd ever, outside of Adam Page who got a mixed reaction they all got big pops and cheered all match. But why does that bother you so much compared to WWE fans cheering Strowman, Owens and other heels so much? It's 2017, people are going to cheer for the guy/guys they like more.
Also not every heel was cheered for, outside of Bullet Club the only heels who really got any pop were Kingdom who were hometown boys. That also leads me to my 2nd question, why do you hate this new Kingdom so much? You make them out to be totally worthless but before TK got injured they were doing good work as the trios champs and the story behind how they formed makes enough sense with Taven rebuilding The Kingdom, a group he was part of, in his own image.

I read someone mention that Neville should just plow through the Cruiserweight division and vacate the title because he gets cocky and wants to fight "the big boys". There's no reason to believe Neville couldn't whoop guys like Miz or Ambrose's asses for the IC title is there?

Like I said in the review, it's because of how ROH fans are supposed to be the smart/real fans. If they were the kind of fans they claim to be, they would never cheer for heels (which the Bullet Club only are in name only anymore, because they're the stupid "cool heels").
Two reasons:
1. They were debuted HORRIBLY. We were never told who O'Ryan and Marseglia were and then they were making a run in the tournament. If I'm supposed to be impressed by these people, tell me something about them and give me a reason to care about them.
2. I find their promos to be dreadful. It's just calling a bunch of people Melvins (whatever that means) and little more, which makes for a rather dull interview.
3. There's no Maria, who made the whole thing work.
4. They're around the Six Man Tag Team Titles, which might be the most worthless belts I've ever seen.
99% of the time I'm not a fan of someone just vacating a title so I'd need a good reason for him to do so.
Not at all, which is another reason why the Cruiserweight Title is pretty worthless.

Got a few for ya buddy.
A buddy and I were talking and we were trying to find a storyline that Stephanie was involved in that she made better. We went back all the way to her debut when Undertaker tried to marry her. I mean full credit to her, she has taken some fun bumps in recent years, but has her presence ever helped a story?
Back when Gorilla Monsoon was on commentary, he used to say something along the lines of "X wrestler was trained at the Ronnie Garvin school of self defense." I know who Garvin was, but was this some sort of shot at him? I dont remember if his WWE run overlapped Monsoon's day at the booth.
I haven't given the entire show a listen, but Bayley was on Austin's podcast this week. She mentioned she had ideas about her character could work as a heel, because, by her own admission, her character and spot on the roster "was up in the air at the moment." This isn't the first time someone has made similar comments, but do you think that the powers that be take note of them?
'95 King of the King. Just why? Shawn, Taker, Yokozuna. It ends with Savio Vega vs Mabel. Why?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but back in the day, the day I know Doink was a heel. Wasn't his character that of a miserable failed clown? Why did they change it?
I was gonna ask this a couple days back in the special room when we were on the topic of Meltzer and his rating system. Dave is obviously a guy who prefers Japanese wrestling, but why does it seem like he goes out of his way to disprove things that WWE claims? My biggest example in recent memory was the Wrestlemania 32 attendance. They claimed 101k, but Meltzer reports it was only 93k. Vince comes back and claims that included everyone who was in attendance, not just paid ticket holders. So Meltzer fires back that if that is the case, then the number was actually 97k. Typical hate of Meltzer a lot of us hold aside, is it simply just a case of him trying appeal to his fan base by crapping on WWE? Because I rarely see him say anything negative about Japanese or Indy promotions not named TNA.
I'll have more later, but I don't wanna overload you.

Let me show ya somethin!!!
Was Aries's injury timing about as bad as it could be? He's got at least 10 times the personality that any other cruiserweight has and could make any feud at least mildly interesting. They're trying to give Neville some kind of personality with this darker persona of his, but it's still lacking.
If Enzo Amore does move to the cruiserweight division, that would inject some life into it.

As a foil for Jericho. They had some outstanding chemistry and it wouldn't have worked as well with anyone else.
You have your Garvins confused. It was the Terry Garvin school of self defense. Terry was gay and the line would come whenever a wrestler went behind another. He would make similar Pat Patterson references at times.
Honestly, not really. I'm more critical of WWE writers than others but I don't think they care about what anyone not named McMahon says.
It was going to be Razor losing in the finals but he was injured so Savio was put in his place. As for the rest.....yeah I've got nothing.
Not exactly. He was actually much more like the Joker: a really crafty evil guy who dressed up like a clown for a psychological advantage. There never was any failed clown part.
Meltzer is OBSESSED with attendance. He's been at this for years and has criticized WWE's attendance statements for years. As for why he takes shots at WWE, my guess would be the same reason I review more WWE than anything else: it gets the most eyes on the site.
Works for me.
I'm loving the heck out of Neville's character actually.
[quote[If Enzo Amore does move to the cruiserweight division, that would inject some life into it.[/QUOTE]
Oh yeah. Imagine him as Eddie Guerrero: cheating like crazy behind the referee's back and mugging for the camera. Then when the referee accuses him, he goes into wild over the top mannerisms, crossing his heart and swearing up and down that he didn't do it, only to cheat again as soon as the referee isn't looking.
Tell me the crowd wouldn't eat that up.
I'd just love to see Enzo Amore get some spotlight, his wrestling ability be damned at this point. Gave a real good promo this past Monday night, confirming why he has a place on weekly TV regardless of his other deficiencies and the Cruiserweight division would really benefit if a guy like him was given the spotlight.
Heck, why not let him dethrone Neville in an Eddie-like fashion(as you describe above) to kick it all off and just run his mouth off for a few months thereafter?

I'm neat.
Do you think there's chance of a scenario that sees someone on the Main roster get traded/sent back down to NXT and perform on NXT regularly? Part of me has this weird feeling that they may try a storyline swapping Asuka for Bayley, but apart from that maybe sending Dillinger back to NXT because I don't see there be rooming for him on smackdown.
