He should be Baron Corbins bodyguard. It would actually be hilarious seeing a big hoss coward retreating with his big hoss bodyguard. Originally read that as Baron Corbins boyfriend. Thought now that’s a interesting storyline. I’m so sleep deprived. |

I guess because Corbin is younger and Harper's been out with injuries regularly enough that it might give them pause. That and Harper would look ridiculous wrestling in a TGI Friday's uniform. Is he more of a Famous Dave’s guy? |

There's too many wrestlers on the roster to feature then all While that may be true, their attempts at utilizing even a portion of the roster leave a lot to be desired. We don't need 20 minutes promos at the start of a show to set up a main event. If you can't have the main event set before the show, 4-5 minutes is sufficient. That opens a slot or two for more people. We don't need endless recaps of what happened 10 minutes ago. We don't need hour long gauntlet matches ever other week (Smackdown has had 3 in the past two months). There are so many ways they could use their time better. It wouldn't allow them to utilize everyone but it would allow them to utilize more. In Smackdown's case they could even shuffle people on the show, have some of them on 2 or 3 weeks out of 4 so we get more of the roster on the show and people caring about them. I just pulled most of these out of my ass. I'm sure they could come up with better ways to utilize their roster if they could be bothered. |

Part of me feels like its him taking the initiative to give his match the mildest of a story instead of it being a random thing to happen on AXXESS.
The "I've started at the bottom, reached the top and now here I am on the ground again, and I don't feel like staying here" type of stuff.

The depressing thing is to see a guy working so goddamn hard to bring heat to a match that will be heatless.

That somehow makes it seem so much more depressing, right? |

Looks like Harper put everything he could into this match. While Dijakovic put everything he could into his shorts. Old mate is putting in New Japan levels of detail and design into those things, I thought he borrowed a pair of Okada’s shorts at first glance. |

I believe they're taping a lot of these Axxess matches for some Worlds Collide specials on the Network. This one was advertised in the original announcement for those, so I'm fairly certain that it will be. |

I just wanna know why Rowan got the spot with DB and not Harper A rare sop to continuity given Bryan calls Rowan an intellectual equal and they were doing the genius gimmick a while ago? |

Like, I can get that to an extent but it’d be like if a bunch of employees broke NDAs and talked about how awful the set of Game of Thrones is and how we’d be hearing about “Red Wedding: Catering, makeup and set design Edition” because...that’s f***ing would be what happens. Nobody is going to keep an employee that hates their job constantly on the payroll to make everyone else around them feel like crap. I’m not even saying that is the case, they could be laughing to the Bank, but it doesn’t make me feel optimistic about stuff if the big angle for Naomi is snidely saying “Well, you might cancel the battle royale like you did our four way” when we all know there’s going to be nothing about that on TV. I don't understand why people constantly compare wrestling and Game of Thrones/Breaking Bad/Sopranos etc. They've never been anything alike, and people wouldn't want them to be either. But that's what the WWE claims it is. They constantly talk like they are a proper TV show and that they aren't wrestling. They don't understand that TV shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and even Lucha Underground have good writing. |

His character has an established intelligence that makes him a good fit for something like this and he has the perfect look for what it entails. Harper looks too unhinged, I don't really buy that he would care about what Bryan is selling. |

Looks like Harper put everything he could into this match. Seeing someone take bumps like that at the Axxess show is depressing as f***, lol. Like, this made me feel like I was seeing Randy The Ram's comeback match. |
