Actually Nostradamus
Whoever was criticising AEW's production the other day couldn't be more correct. They actually cut Suzuki's entrance short so there was no "Kaze Ni Nare". Shambles.

They were obviously a bit worried about timings and getting the match done. They went to the close a bit early too and then had Mox kill a good few mins. I’m not sure that that crowd would necessarily know or care for the high spot of Suzuki’s entrance though. They were all there for Moxley.Whoever was criticising AEW's production the other day couldn't be more correct. They actually cut Suzuki's entrance short so there was no "Kaze Ni Nare". Shambles.
We almost missed it at All Out too because JR was too busy talking about breakfast.Whoever was criticising AEW's production the other day couldn't be more correct. They actually cut Suzuki's entrance short so there was no "Kaze Ni Nare". Shambles.
Another cheap, unsubstantiated dig at WWE thenAccording to Meltzer the main roster idea for Adam Cole was to be a heel manager for Keith Lee
Well, if Meltzer says it, then it just MUST be true.According to Meltzer the main roster idea for Adam Cole was to be a heel manager for Keith Lee
They absolutely would have. The timing could've been improved if they cut MJF's promo in half. That segment dragged and dragged.That MJF promo. Boy, oh boy. The lad’s an absolute heat magnet. Enjoyed Adam Cole immediately being a total prick heel too.

He also said they were gonna rename Adam Cole on the main roster. WWE adores money and they were gonna derail the "BAY BAY" merch machine? Yeah right...Another cheap, unsubstantiated dig at WWE then
How many people when they moved to the main roster were allowed to keep a name that was already in use?They absolutely would have. The timing could've been improved if they cut MJF's promo in half. That segment dragged and dragged.

Has anybody moved from NXT to the main roster and debuted with a new name? And I mean, as well known as Cole was. Like a big debut, with a new name. I can't remember anyone.How many people when they moved to the main roster were allowed to keep a name that was already in use?
Thats the most obvious part
Think it's tough for Meltzer now... most big news gets broken by other outlets these days, so he just has to swing for the fences with whatever he gets.I find it hilarious how much people take Meltzer's word as gospel.
He's been proven to be a bullshitter multiple times but some still treat him like a messiah of the pro graps world. Muppets.
He's already been on main roster shows (pretty significantly too, with some big wins) under the name Adam Cole, so obviously they would never change it.He also said they were gonna rename Adam Cole on the main roster. WWE adores money and they were gonna derail the "BAY BAY" merch machine? Yeah right...
They'd have called him something daft like "Adam" or "AC Baby".He's already been on main roster shows (pretty significantly too, with some big wins) under the name Adam Cole, so obviously they would never change it.
I could see thatAdam Bay
Adam Bay, Bay Bay
Wouldnt surprise you though, would it? WWE is making a change to NXT so might want to scrub themselves of HHH's NXT thus new names.Has anybody moved from NXT to the main roster and debuted with a new name? And I mean, as well known as Cole was. Like a big debut, with a new name. I can't remember anyone.
Are you questioning whether WWE would do something to sabotage somebody from NXT with something that was working?They absolutely would have. The timing could've been improved if they cut MJF's promo in half. That segment dragged and dragged.

Fair one. But I would be shocked if they'd have changed Cole's name.Wouldnt surprise you though, would it? WWE is making a change to NXT so might want to scrub themselves of HHH's NXT thus new names.
Not quite big names but:
Viking Experience.
Mia Yim...All the shit with Retribution.
DouDrop
Also WWE love their one name ... names, like Matt Riddle is just Riddle, right?

I reckon theres a chance Meltzer asked Cole himself, after the post All Out show. Its possible.Although I think it's ridiculous people still take meltzers word as gospel when it quite evidently isn't, this one I wouldn't be shocked if it were true to some extent.
Would he be lees manager or would have they have just tagged together and been the little/large tag team for the billionth time? I can see that.
I very much doubt he was getting a name change though.
It would have been silly, but things WWE do that are stupid do not shock me anymore.Fair one. But I would be shocked if they'd have changed Cole's name.
War Raiders > Viking ExperienceWouldnt surprise you though, would it? WWE is making a change to NXT so might want to scrub themselves of HHH's NXT thus new names.

Thought it was shite. Cum swallowing and abortion. It's so far past try-hard you can't even see it anymore.Christ. That MJF promo was pretty near the knuckle. He's so good on the mic.
Most of these had their full names when they moved up and had it changed at some point whilst on the main roster.War Raiders > Viking Experience
Hanson and Rowe > Ivar and Erik
Dio Maddin > Mace
Shane Thorne > Slapjack
Dominik Dijakovic > T-Bar
Mia Yim > Reckoning
Mercedes Martinez > Retaliation
Matt Riddle > Riddle
Piper Niven > Doudrop
Nikki Cross > Nikki A.S.H.
Apollo Crews > Apollo
Big E Langston > Big E
Antonio Cesaro > Cesaro
Chad Gable > Shorty G
Babtunde > Commander Azeez
Otis Dozovic > Otis
Tucker Knight > Tucker
Rik Bugez > Rik Boogs
Bobby Roode > Robert Roode
Shotzi Blackheart > Shotzi
Ruby Riot > Ruby Riott
Andrade Almas > Andrade
Luke Harper > Harper
Erick Rowan > Rowan
Alexander Rusev > Rusev
Adrian Neville > Neville
Buddy Murphy > Murphy
Then there's been the weird obsession with breaking up teams or absolutely killing them almost as soon as they go up. The Ascension, American Alpha, Vaudevillains, Sanity, etc.
It’s very 4chan edgelord stuff.Thought it was shite. Cum swallowing and abortion. It's so far past try-hard you can't even see it anymore.
He'll drop the N-word some day and people will still call it masterful heel work.
Though I don't think it's uncommon for names to changed when moving from NXT to raw/smackdown, most of these happened when they were already established on raw/smackdown. Don't think that counts.War Raiders > Viking Experience

None of those are remotely close to what it would’ve been like for them to change Adam Cole’s name. Half of the changes you’ve listed were just shortening their name (which is weird thing WWE does so often) and most happened while they were already on the main roster.War Raiders > Viking Experience

I wasn't really suggesting they'd do it with Cole, just following on from a post that listed some of the name changes they've done.None of those are remotely close to what it would’ve been like for them to change Adam Cole’s name. Half of the changes you’ve listed were just shortening their name (which is weird thing WWE does so often) and most happened while they were already on the main roster.
The only similarity would’ve been if they’d changed Samoa Joe’s name when he moved up. Or Nakamura’s. An established star who used that name prior to WWE, continuing to use it in NXT and having it changed when moving to the main roster. I can’t think of a single example of that happening, so it’s ridiculous to suggest they would do it with Cole
What’s being a good heel to you? You seem to only comment to moan when others are praising work.Thought it was shite. Cum swallowing and abortion. It's so far past try-hard you can't even see it anymore.
He'll drop the N-word some day and people will still call it masterful heel work.
I've just remembered the weird situation they created when they were about to call up War Raiders (Hanson and Rowe) and inexplicably decided to rename Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to just Harper and Rowan, so they were then forced into changing Hanson and Rowe into Ivar and Erik so they weren't similar.Though I don't think it's uncommon for names to changed when moving from NXT to raw/smackdown, most of these happened when they were already established on raw/smackdown. Don't think that counts.

Wardlow is great. He'll be one of the best big men around soon. Same with Hobbs. Surprised how both went under WWE's radar, they seem to tick all of Vince's boxes and they were signing everybody over the last few years.It’s very 4chan edgelord stuff.
One thing I did like from that segment was Wardlow taking his time to actually help MJF.
Not that shite. Roman is a good heel right now, Cody can be a good heel when he's not wasting his time trying to be a face. Jericho at his best, few can touch him.What’s being a good heel to you? You seem to only comment to moan when others are praising work.
You are fecking tiresome. Do piss off.The feck. Just because your mind goes there doesnt mean his does
Aye. It has been noted but thankfully easily ignored.What’s being a good heel to you? You seem to only comment to moan when others are praising work.
