I could see that. Was so weird that they put the belt on him, and then did nothing with him.

But if you can't cut in-ring promos, doesn't matter how good you are with the actual wrasslin'. And think that might be why creative has been struggling with him. Vignettes let you do multiple takes, but in person he has his language issues.

Kinda why I was glad Vaquer went into NXT instead of the main roster. She was smart, and said it was because she didn't know enough English yet and needs to get better working TV before making that jump.

You're not wrong, but to be fair, Nak seems like he's been phoning it in for years.

The Nak we've regularly gotten for a long time is a looooot different than the Nak we got during his NXT run.

Some of it is most definitely booking...like when his entire gimmick for the better part of a year was to hit people in the dick.

But still, it seems like it's been a long time since he gave a shit.

I was very excited when he came up and Vince immediately fucked with the little details that made him a star in NXT. After that, he was done and there was never really a way to come back.

Only time I saw nakamura give a shit was his nxt debut. The rest of his nxt run felt very phoned in and him getting by on his notoriety and his entrance theme with the violin player. Everyone was obssessed with that theme


Wwe did a great job with him and got as much juice out of the squeeze that they could. He clearly came to just get paid and surf. Nothing wrong with that but I think its evident they would have done wayyy more with him if he had brought his A game.


Am i crazy in thinking cathy kelly was not this hot during her first run? I remember her being more average looking. She is absolutely sizzling now everytime I see pics or vid of her.

Apparently Miro & Lana have mended fences and are back together. I guess they never got divorced, so they're back to living together and trying to make their relationship work.

i.e. - Lana went out & got a bunch of new dick and has now decided to come back home

i.e. #2 - Miro is a big, burly, strong, & athletic mofo...but still a cuck

Miro is just a larger version of Adam Cole.

If Mr. Saito was still alive Nak would have been epic in WWE. That fucker would throw salt in peoples eyes for giggles. Don’t see the salt in the eyes spot anymore.

Nak could've used a manager to help him get over with the promos. A Mr. Fuji type (he also liked the salt in the eyes) or Japanese Paul Heyman.

Fenix to Smackdown. So looks like WWE in no hurry to put Lucha Bros back together.
I'd prefer it that way. Penta is a different wrestler in WWE and doesn't need to be shoved into a tag team. Especially when outside of Rey and now Penta, the luchadores are all fucking terrible.

And you know they'd just do an instant team-up with the LWO against Legado Del Fantasma that would make everybody yawn and take their shine off.

My problem with a lot of Luchadors is their entire gimmick is "I'm a Luchador." Just like the "i'm a good wrestler" generic Americans, that's not gonna get you over.

Hence why Dom is a genius with his heel run, because he was just another Luchador despite the last name Mysterio until then.
