It's insane the number of times guys have been over enough to be the "top guy" in the company but WWE just didn't pull the triggerIt just shows the problem with making new stars is that they're too scared to make someone who isn't chosen ahead of time a top star>Jeff Hardy 2008 (Had jobbed 3 PPV matches with HHH before eventually being given the title (triple threat where he didn't even pin HHH), he was the top merch seller and babyface on Raw at the time)>Ryback (Hell in a Cell 2012) watch the Raw before the show, he was top babyface over, the match killed his undefeated streak, anything after this would have been too late even if they didn't start jobbing him out>Braun Strawman (Crown Jewel 2018), he was the top babyface on Raw, did a lot of jobbing as a heel before this but the time seemed right hereAny more examples?DO NOT post CM Punk 2011 or Daniel Bryan 2013In both cases both guys were former world champions and had just won main events for the world title against John Cena (before dropping those titles to MITB cash ins), these are not comparable to the above who were not world champions/main eventers 49 posts and 3 images omitted.

NJPW, DG, and DDT live events are regularly streamed in the tubes, check the schedule for details.>THE MAJOR FEDS:NJPW: Oldest and largest promotion in Japan. Owned by Bushiroad and is booked by Gedo. His booking gets the tubes riled up sometimes (all the time), but the match quality generally makes up for it. In the midst of something of a revival, and although you may argue that it is already drawing to a close, they are still doing good business at the moment. They run one of the largest shows in wrestling, called Wrestle Kingdom, every year on January 4th at the fabled Tokyo Dome. Most every show they run, large and small, air in the tubes. They have a slew of foreign wrestlers on their roster right now. They also have a wonderful streaming website over at http://njpwworld.com/Dragon Gate: Almost certainly the second largest promotion in Japan. Born out of the Toryumon promotion, which was the brainchild of Ultimo Dragon, their style is a mixture of classic puro, cruiserweight/junior heavyweight sprints, and lucha libre. Stable warfare is a huge part of the promotion, with most every wrestler in the company being aligned with a unit in some way. Though it is a big promotion, they retain a grassroots feel, with wrestlers selling merch before and after shows, and running many shows out of community centers and gyms. Most of their large shows air in the tubes, and footage is also posted here. They also have a show that is filmed monthly in their little studio in Kobe called Prime Zone which is wacky, fun, and full of Mondai Ryu schemes. They recently joined the streaming bandwagon over at https://dragongate.liveDDT: Indie promotion gunning for the second-largest-in-Japan spot alongside Dragon Gate. Founded in 1997 by Sanshiro Takagi (a big Stone Cold Steve Austin fan), they have taken the western sports entertainment style to the next level with ridiculous matches and outrageous gimmicks, like violently gay wrestlers, promos done in PowerPoint before matches, championships specifically for dark matches, and blow-up dolls and ladders winning titles. Despite the goofiness, there is tons of talent there, with names like Kota Ibushi, HARASHIMA, and Kenny Omega having been regulars at one point or another. They have released ddtuniverse, which is like NJPW World. A streaming site for all your DDT needs. The other companies that work alongside DDT also have their stuff on there. CyberAgent owned DDT and NOAH have merged under one corporate umbrella CyberFight and they, like NJPW have a great streaming service over at https://www.ddtpro.com/universeAJPW: Still rebuilding from the glory days of the 80s and 90s, when icons like Jumbo Tsuruta, Mitsuharu Misawa, Kenta Kobashi, Toshiaki Kawada, Stan Hansen, Genichiro Tenryu, and Akira Taue loomed large. They were nearly killed after Misawa formed Pro Wrestling NOAH, taking most of the roster with him, but after a decade and a half of turmoil, they are doing fairly well right now, thanks in no small part due to the efforts of Jun Akiyama. The 80s/90s classics are a must-watch for any new puro fan, and their current product ain't bad either. They also joined the streaming sensation sweeping Japan rig… Comment too long.

WWE DEF JAM UNDERGROUND VOLUME II: STREET JUSTUS - WORLDWIDE RETRIBUTION View Thread Reply Hide Celt !BzcOsK03.w - Mon, 10 Aug 2020 15:56:56 EST wwkx+h7B No.6430256 File: 1597089416026.png -(487144B / 475.73KB, 904x599) Thumbnail displayed, click image for full size. >Watch WWE DEF JAM UNDERGROUND with /wooo/ in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo and /wooo/alt - http://taima.tv/r/woooalt at 8pm Eastern//1am London followed by Raw Talk at 11pm Eastern//1am London. On tonight's show: > Kevin Owens takes on Randy OrtonRandy Orton is challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE title and the 13-time World champion has been one of the focal points of RAW in the pandemic era. Kevin Owens hasn't been in a feud lately, but that hasn't stopped him from getting entangled in various situations against various Superstars. Kevin Owens had a rather interesting conversation with Ric Flair on RAW and told him to tell Randy Orton to challenge him for a match. Surely enough, it was booked for a week later and tonight, The Viper/ Legend Killer will face Kevin Owens on RAW in a dream match, presumably in the main event (because that's the only slot for it). We're not sure what Drew McIntyre will do on the episode or if he'll even get involved in any way, but he doesn't seem like the kind of Superstar who would. We expect Randy Orton to pick up the victory, simply because he's been on a whole other level these last few months. However, we hope that it's going to be a good match with a good finish.>RETRIBUTION returns to RAWLast week on RAW, we saw a few people in hoodies lighting an important electrical system on fire. While the damage that was done then was minimal, what happened on SmackDown took the WWE Universe by surprise. The group, comprising of a few men and a couple of women wreaked havoc on SmackDown and what they did on RAW paled in comparison. RETRIBUTION, as they call themselves, took over the arena, even forcing commentators Corey Graves and Michael Cole to flee the scene. After an attack on a "crowd" member/developmental talent, one member took a chainsaw and cut the ropes. We've seen various invasions on RAW and WWE in general, but we're not yet sure who these people are and why they're doing what they're doing. We expect a groundbreaking announcement from RETRIBUTION tonight, whether it's a reveal of the members, their leader, or simply their motives. Either way, tune in to RAW because it's going to be an exciting segment. Whether it has SummerSlam implications or not, we can't be sure, but it's the most highly-anticipated part of RAW.>What's going to happen on RAW Underground this week?The entire WWE Universe was taken by surprise when it was announced that Shane McMahon would be returning to RAW. While there was some speculation for a few hours, we soon found out that WWE was introducing a new set of segments to RAW in a series of fights - known as RAW Underground. A Shane McMahon idea, it features a "shoot" style fight that's closer to MMA. There are no ropes and there aren't many rules either. While we saw some names such as Dabba-Kotto rise, some of the recognizable names included Dolph Ziggler, The Viking Raiders, and the three members of The Hurt Business. Towards the end of the show, Kayla Braxton hinted at the location of RAW Underground and The Hurt Business showed up and decimated everyone present. The episode of RAW ended with MVP saying "We're The Hurt Business. And business is good". RAW Underground is going to be interesting to watch and we wouldn't be surprised to see MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin continue to dominate while also possibly scouting for new recruits. >Asuka vs Bayley - If Asuka wins, she earns a RAW Women's title match at SummerSlamA few weeks ago, Asuka faced Bayley in a Champion vs Champion match and it was then-RAW Women's Champion Asuka who won on that occasion. Asuka then faced Sasha Banks and it was The Boss who defeated Asuka to claim the RAW Women's Championship for the fifth time in her career. It also marked the end of Kairi Sane's run in WWE as The Pirate Princess said farewell after that. Asuka, now all alone, has to face Bayley as her first obstacle to get her rematch against Sasha Banks - which she should have gotten anyway given the circumstances of her title loss. Either way, we expect Asuka to overcome the odds and secure a RAW Women's title match against Sasha Banks at SummerSlam. Bayley wasn't too happy with her partner after RAW Women's Champion Sasha Banks made the declaration of her match against Asuka without consulting her.>Will Seth Rolli… Comment too long.
