Wouldn't be the first time they've done it and it won't be the last

It usually comes with a gimmick change tho.

And he has a new gimmick now as Paul Heyman's client

Got through RAW with the general quickness.

Heyman could sell ice to an eskimo, but that name still sucks. I'm curious if Heyman actually sees talent in Hennig or if he's a guy they were like "hey, we need you to help get this guy over" and he's like "sure". I think the kid has talent, but their refusal to use Hennig seems silly to me, regardless of IP rights and all that mumbo jumbo. Why not Curtis (his middle name) Hennig or Axel Hennig. Whatever.

The Shield match was good...as always.

I actually liked the Hennig's debut...he looked good coming down the ramp that first time.

Fast forwarded through the ME, but it looked dumb.

I thought it would have been better for Heyman and Curtis Axle for Heyman to come down and say the whole McGillicutty name was stupid, everyone knows he's Joe Hennig. I didn't expect HHH to take a clean loss, but that ending was pathetic. They made Hennig look like The Brooklyn Brawler when Bobby Heenan took him on to fight The Red Rooster, but HHH isn't the Rooster. The WWE would have been better off debuting Curtis Axle against a mid-level card guy and give him a clean win with a Perfectplex.

I know some people will say Curtis Axle looks good because HHH didn't answer the bell, but that entire match was a joke.


As for Ryback ... simply not buying it. He clearly looks like a steroid freak who somehow gets by the health and wellness rules and can't speak. He has zero charism, but admittedly a look ... even if it's roided to death.

The name, eh. It's fine. Better than McGillicuty by a mile.

I liked the theme, sort of a remix of Mr. Perfect's theme.

Apparently, HHH is a supporter of his and I remember he was one of the guys (if not the main guy) who worked with Rocky to get him into ring shape leading up to WM. So, obviously, he's well thought of by plenty of people (I think Punk has been a supporter, too).


The ending was ridiculous. Useless, what's the point?

The 6-man was awesome. Bryan with another great showing, just overall a ton of fun.

That sucks.

Why doesn't Impact pick up the bill?

[XavierDZ]

Because Impact doesn't care for their lower profile Wrestlers as much as the ex wwe guys.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Tell me that isn't the GOAT baseball card.

"Has improved his swing by dropping his elbow."

[FedEx227]

Downers Grove, Illinois bitches!

[SuperKevin]

Why doesn't Impact pick up the bill?

Because it's not the employers responsibility to pay individual medical expenses for their employees, especially medical bills from non work related injuries

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

That's some truth right there.

Vince has footed the bill for many, MANY wrestler's medical bills over the years.
