Bloodline 2.0 Thread: Cody/Roman vs. Solo/Jacob at Bad Blood

[ace]

The entire bloodline chart is based on Rocks grandfather and Romans grandfather making a “blood oath”

Them bitches ain’t blood

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I don't think they'd be wacky enough to just cut and paste Tama into the Solo spot in the Bloodline. I'm expecting either Tama w/Karl and Luke vs. AJ or Karl and Luke vs. AJ and Tama.

I'm looking forward to the announcers referring to him as a young man despite being 41 years old.

If Carlos Colon can be a fiery youngster at 43, why can’t Tama Tonga be 1 at 41?

If Tama Tonga and Karl Anderson have a rematch I'm becoming a golf watcher exclusively

I want to say this as kindly as possible because I have a lot of respect for Tama’s years in NJPW as part of GOD and as a Bullet Club OG…

if they are paying a 41 year old Tama Tonga to do anything but make the bloodline appear larger and more intimidating…they are fools.  Stand there with a mean face during promos.  Take falls for Solo in tags.

That’s a real thing in their culture though.

Always seemed inevitable when he was officially set to leave because this felt like a move that people had wanted for years

Did people actively want him in WWE or did people more just want him not in New Japan anyway?

People always thought he'd fit in WWE, always saw discussion about it

Idk if he actually will but we'll see?

Hey good for them.  A wonderful story that tens of people can believe in.  I see two unrelated dudes talking about family and I roll my eyes.

Great pickup, Tama Tonga's a real franchise player, but of a franchise that never got off the ground and went out of business before it ever started.

The banner announcing the location is still on the chainlink fence around the property, but nobody has picked up the lease for the building even though it's been 3 years.

Ignoring the shot at their cultural, actually, no, that's extremely f***ed and something we don't tolerate here. Nevermind the sheer number of people here who because of issues no one should face have found their family in the people they've met and been welcomed in by that they share no relation too. You're not going to shit on people for finding family outside your traditional means.

I'd hand you the L you earned but I think an ❌ is more appropriate. Go read the rules and think about life.

[Soultastic]

The only legit problem anyone should have with Tama Tonga being involved in anything is that he's just. So. BOOOOORING.

Haku and his family weren't even though Rock considers Haku like an uncle figure.

And judging by their Twitter interactions Tama and Roman are at least close friends.

Could see Roman jumping at the moment to do a feud with Tama if the plan after WM is for the Bloodline to turn against Roman.

[Glitch]

Even within kayfabe, he doesn't have to be related to be on their team. He could come in as an ally of the family based on the fact that the Anoais and Haku's family are very , very tightly knit. Tama could very easily cut a promo saying that their families have watched each other's backs.

Ah yes, when you wake up in the morning and decide that today is the opportune day to Do a Racism.

We better not get this Tama Tonga

[darbus alan]

I personally see Tama doing something with the OC or Judgment Day. He and Finn go way back and WWE has had its fair share of wink, wink, nudge, nudge Bullet Club references.

I think Karl and Gallows are in NXT to set this up. Not sure where AJ or Finn fit in this. I just hope they at least have him regrow his facial hair.

[EZ: Broken Bae]

Once Tama got Jado on his side I enjoyed him - especially the Okada match at G1 Climax 2021. He isn't a top worker but has enough babyface fire to be a good fit in the upper midcard.
