After what seems like an eternity, Austin Theory and Grayson Waller are no longer a team. This was done in a backstage segment where Waller told this to the New Day along with the news that Theory is injured. Not even a beatdown or anything to explain Theory's injury. Strange.
I only see 3 possibilities from this. Either Theory is getting released within the year, he's going back to NXT for a run, or he's gonna be pushed to the moon after a few months of absence.
 
I've never been convinced by Theory. His pretty boy/clean cut ivy league college athlete/smug elitist prick gimmick just doesn't fit him. The lifts in his boots don't help him either and he looks goofy. His antics and promos are just standard "please hate me because I'm the heel" stuff, he doesn't really do or say anything to make you hate him or stand out, it's just go away heat. He carries around the stench of conveyor belt wrestler. He has the look but those things I noted are holding him back. My two cents at least. He's not even a heel I love to hate, he's just a heel I love to see his time slot end. I'm not sure what you do or where you go from here, but he desperately needs a revamp. I'm not sure they're even willing to do so though since they've seemingly been trying to ram this same character down our throats for years. Current Theory is a sunk cost fallacy.

agreed, I don't see what Vince saw in the guy, he got mogged by Cena in terms of the WM38 match, he's just not someone I see capable of being a guy that can carry a company, maybe he's better then the vanilla midgets at AEW but he doesn't look convincing, Waller is at least tall and can cut a promo, as a heel he can make fans seethe and thats 80% of being a heel, in terms of newer guys I can see holding the strap at some point its Breakker,Fatu,and Trick, I could for sure see Waller being IC-tier or maybe WHC-tier on RAW kind of like Gunther is now, Theory is just utterly boring and doesn't do it for me
 
Theory is young, in shape and competent (though kind of boring) in the ring. That's about it. How many other wrestlers does that describe? A lot. Theory doesn't do anything to stand out. He's just a guy. I'm not sure how much of a push he can get in WWE unless he drastically changes his character, look, etc.. so that people forget what he was before and can start fresh.
 
The boring Cena match at Wrestlemania probably killed a lot of his potential.
shouldn't have fingered his asshole on camera, maybe he'd have more potential if he didn't do that.

Kidd Bandit gets rats, what’s your excuse?

Kidd's a grifter faggot and weirdos orbiting him take this guy seriously. Wants to screw with women yet wrestles to get the money for the "choppy-choppy the pee-pee" procedure. The only action this guy had was his left and right hand.

this, calling him a pro-wrestler is a wide fucking stretch, if you look at every match he wrestles its just stagecraft for gay people, theres nothing serious about it, people like him are why the vast majority of indie feds are to be avoided at all costs
Which do you think will be the main event of SummerSlam Night 1, Punk vs. Gunther or Roman/Jey vs. Bron/Bronson? The latter match has not been announced, but you just know it will be.
depends, I think the latter because Roman is a big name and him officially making up with Jey who is now a main event level talent in his own right is a good justification for the main event, not to mention it will get even more people to start talking about Breakker if he main events Summerslam, I was at a RAW in December and people were already barking like crazy for him and he's only established himself even further since then, I think Punk vs Gunther is a good main event too especially with the title but WWE has shown willingness to get other matches in the main event slot instead of that belt if theres enough big names (like Punk vs Seth vs Roman at this years WrestleMania for example)

I'm actually really enthusiastic about the WWE ID program, I think it could change the indy scene for the better. People like this would be kept on the outlaw mudshows, where they belong. Likewise indies under the WWE umbrella will get classed up (I'm assuming) and further separate the type of indy that gave us Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan vs. Cage of Death XVI featuring a weed wacker spot.

If there's a reason why indie wrestling will never, ever be mainstream and purely for showing the circus freaks, it's these people. When some wrestlers take the "wrestling is for fags" mantra seriously, you get people like Kidd and that fag wrestler with an equally barely-existing faggy promotion whose name I forgot.
 
Jesus Christ. This bitch went on Ariel Helwani and the one brag she had was look at all these dates I have lined up and look at how much I’m gonna work. I’m just gonna get out there and work work work at anywhere that will book me.
You don't get it brother, she lost her smile. But on a serious note its pretty obvious she saw the onlyfans money and decided its not worth it to break her body in the indies, I would be very surprised if her career goes anywhere after this.

This reminds me of the time in school a friend of mine was bragging about losing his virginity to a prostitute but we couldn't go with him to the brothel because it got raided by the police the day after he went there. A bit too convenient if you ask me.

On a different note, are there any books about wrestling you guys could recommend that aren't Jericho's or Mick's books? I've read Wrestler's are like Seagulls and Bobby the Brain and I've been chasing that feeling since then.
 
Edwards knock off Oba Femi.
Jesus fucking Christ. I’d literally rather you punch me in the face repeatedly for 17 hours straight then have to watch Eddie win any variety of WWE world title.

TNA are so fucking retarded. I am so tired of wrestling companies using the their talking about it so it's good defense. People would also talk if I flew to Florida and live streamed myself shitting in Carlos mouth, but I bet he wouldn't consider it good.

I think that's more a reference to her being "lost in the character" in kayfabe than splitting with Juice.

I don't get why suddenly this dude wants to be in camera all the time. TNA has been part of Anthem for years, and this dude suddenly woke up wanting to be a clown.

All heat isn't good heat. You had me interested and now I'm not going to watch period. The era of Swerve Strickland clones is getting old and fast.
