Bloodline 2.0 Thread: WARGAMES vs. Bloodline 1.0

[Renslayer]

He looks like an absolute killer. Holy shit

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

I wonder if they just filed some of those trademarks to keep people guessing. It’s not expensive to do it.

Anyways, another thought - Solo needs different gear. He needs to wrestle in something that is more evocative of how he’s dressing outside the ring. The weird boxing trunks don’t work anymore. Even if it’s just like dress pants and red gloves or something.

But without seeing STREET CHAMP on his booty, how will we remember he was given up on then abandoned by Rikishi?

Samoan Werewolf owns. I can’t believe they kept the first name Jacob though. Nothing screams unhinged lunatic not fit for public consumption like the name “Jacob”

Not the first time they've used the name "Jacob" for that:


His name was Jacob Goodnight in that movie.

And Jacob already has a shirt.

Day 1 on WWE TV and he already has the best shirt on the roster.

Amazing.

totally not my style but this is really good

I guess with the Werewolf now in the Bloodline we have officially reached Wolfpac status for Bloodline 2.0.

Roman was definitely Hollywood and OG Bloodline is the Black and White Bloodline.

If WCW booked the Bloodline Civil War:

A couple things that I think were officially established in kayfabe for the first time last night:

As per Heyman's wishes when Punk returned Roman had agreed that the Bloodline would keep away from him. Solo broke that agreement last night.

The last time Roman and Heyman spoke was on a flight after the loss at Wrestlemania. Roman's request was for the Bloodline to also leave Cody alone while he was gone. They broke that rule at MITB.

And Solo telling Heyman that Roman won't be coming back could be taken as a) simply wishful thinking and gaslighting/putting fear into Heyman or b) implying that they've taken Roman out off-screen and he literally won't be in condition to return.

I'm starting to think Summerslam will be Cody v Solo. Cody wins. Solo snaps and is about to beat down Heyman then Roman returns to make the save.

Hopefully it all leads to this:

Oh boy, another big Samoan who spams superkicks.

Will he do the running arse to the corner too, and the pop up Samoan Drop?

I hope I am pleasantly surprised and this guy is different, but I find the Samoan wrestling style to be very repetitive, especially with so many on the roster who wrestler such very interchangeable styles.

He does do the pop up Samoan Drop, yep, though he's almost more comparable to Bam Bam Bigelow than to most of his family members outside of that.

We lost a Tongan?

[IgnahtaSempria]

Well, it looks like WWE may have given up on the "Talla Tonga" idea for Hikuleo...

Because now they've also filed a trademark for "Longa Tonga"!

You know, part of me feels like I should be surprised about the fact that a multi-billion dollar wrestling company isn't creative enough to come up with a better name for a tall Tongan than "Tall Tongan", and then pivots to "Long Tongan" when that name leaks and gets made fun of for being unoriginal.

On the other hand, this is the same company that hired a powerlifter and just decided to call him "Brawny Strongman". Not to mention the sheer amount of Ethnic McForeigner names over the years.

Roman: "I know I spent like 4 years nonstop gaslighting you, constantly berating you, beating you up, and generally always treating you like complete shit, buuuuuuut..."
Jey, Jimmy, and Sami in unison: "But it'd be really cool if we did War Games together?"
Roman: "But it'd be really cool if we did War Games together."

I mean, given that none of the new guys are exactly challenging Solo's usurpation, not much else you could go with other than maybe KO, Orton, and Cody, but having Jimmmy be part of it makes a shitload of sense given that he was booted out for Tama in the first place.
