In actual WWE story news, I secretly hope that the endgame for the Bliss/Cross storyline was that Bliss was manipulating her initially but then she actually cares about Nikki in the end and they become tag team champions.

Will Ospreay is my favorite wrestler now.

I should watch more than like three of his matches.


Watch him in PROGRESS, he 's much better as a heel.

I object to the idea that WWE is trying to alienate anyone at this juncture. Ratings are in the toilet, the crowd and PPV buys for Stomping Grounds were a joke, and they drew 3500 total fans to RAW last night.

They don't need to worry about rah-rahing the loyalists right now. They'll always be there. They can't afford to drive literally any more people away.


It's not about them "always being there", it's about them being stirred-up, motivated. Attending and engaging more. I'd say it's WWE's way of drawing the line of division between them while not officially acknowledging any issue - make it look like a personal Rollins thing, not a company thing.

And I don't think Rollins' twitter spats are going to have any meaningful effect on television ratings.

I'm totally on board with Joe being the one to end Kofis reign. Hes long overdue for a run with the world title. Hes one of those wrestlers with established credibility and he just came off a run with the US title, so WWE title is the next logical step. I can see them having Kofi somehow keeping it at Extreme Rules and losing it at SummerSlam.

No, Ospreay turned down a WWE contract offer last year and has been very open about never wanting to go there. Says he couldn't handle their schedule.

Big fan of his heel work but still firm disagree. In new japan as a babyface I think he's been the best performer in the world this year in every aspect of the game. There's been better promos but even his promo post BOSJ win was great babyface stuff

Kinda surprised no WWE wrestlers that didn't already have a big footprint in Japan made that list. I'm sure a ton of NJPW talent would be on a US list. I guess NJPW has significantly better market penetration of the US than WWE has of Japan.

Its been said that Japanese WWE fans have virtually no overlap with the general wrestling fan base so maybe they just arent buying wrestling magazines that conducted this poll?

I also think this explains Dragon Gates poor showing

well people at the BoSJ finals clearly knew exactly who Moxley was so I'm not sure about this.

Also I love that Andreza Giant Panda is above YOSHI HASHI and plenty of other NJPW stalwarts

I think the general wrestling fan base is very aware of WWE but just doesnt really care for it

And then you have the people there that really love WWE and dont really pay attention to Japanese promotions

Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman to run WWE TV now.

Except that they still report directly to Vince so nothing tangible will change.

Still, there's a thing I didn't expect to happen today or ever.

We are told that they will be overseeing all aspects of their individual series, answering directly to Vince McMahon. They are now the top of the pyramid, respectively, for Raw and Smackdown but obviously McMahon will always have the last say. One WWE source compared their roles to Paul Levesque's in NXT in that they will be in charge, but it's still Vince's company.

This is promising.
