Bloodline is roughly ~6 months from passing the nWo for longevity.

And I'm just as sick of them as people got of the nwo

they're not as bad as the nwo got. they've at least kept membership pretty xclusive. now if slapnuts and disco join the bloodline........fuuuuuuk.

anna jay looked really sharp tonight, hopefully she keeps doing whatever she's been doing.

poor hook, how are we supposed to believe johnny holmes getting that much offense against him?? this kid is getting BERRIED.

i've heard people complain about it being difficult for babyfaces going against toni storm, but in serena deeb's case, didn't she come back as a heel?? when did she turn?? also if she has a dojo, a banner and is the professor does she have any students??

it was nice to see jack cartwheel.

To be fair the NWO started getting watered down months in. Where they included Mike Rotunda , Scott Norton , Giant , and Buff Bagwell. Then they split them off and had Sting and Luger join lol. It was too much.

If I was going to put it in Hero/Villain/You Get The Picture terms, I'd say she fell into roughly "Antihero..." territory.

Little too "Grey Area..." for plain old "Face..."/"Heel..." takes.

i wish vicious & delicious would've got a real push in the tag division. i really liked them as a team.

That WCW tag team division really needed midcard US tag team titles then. They had like 10 teams deep and no way could they push them all. Letting Norton & Bagwell be US tag team champions would have been great here.

I'm still heavily invested in the bloodline saga. It's still the best angle in wrestling imo. I've been enjoying Solo transformation into the interim tribal chief

[LoganAlpha30X33]

The only real change for him is that he dresses better, otherwise he's pretty much the same character, the Bloodline will get wrung out until they're well past their expiration date, if they aren't there already.

Sidebar, but I'm watching some old shoots with New Jack... he was SO FUNNY.

"They told Dusty, they need a charismatic black guy, Dusty told them 'I'll be yo black guy baybay!'"

A lot of the things he said about racism in wrestling and black wrestlers having to do stupid gimmicks was on point too.

I think the company has done a good job in changing things up when it starts getting stale. Solo going rogue is the best way this could play out if they didn't want to break up the group. Judging from fan reactions they want a face Roman.

Definitely see it. Melo has that it factor.

It's crazy to see how small he is compared to Randy in their match last night.

^^^Yeah this is (I believe) the biggest Randy’s ever been, which is odd considering he was out w. a back injury.

[Riv86672]

^^^Agreed.

On the subject of underrated tag teams, I'm also a fan of Power & Glory; I wish they’d gotten a chance to do more.

A few years ago I was hoping Bobby Lashley & Apollo Crews would stop feuding and partner up as Power & Glory 2.0…:

Then again I'd Roman stays a part timer that's not really much of a feud, but now the Bloodline is even more boring and simplistic than it was before, as if WWE can't think of any stories for them that aren't the Bloodline.

I think they tried to tween but it didn't work IMHO.

Comes across as heel vs. heeel, or like you said, antihero vs. heel.

Same! Norton was one of favorites of that era. Bagwell was eh but Norton was awesome to me.

BTW Deeb's students are the entire roster, lol. She's been taking them to school with her matches.

Nash would never let that happen.

It's a great idea but no way Nash let's that happen.

^^^Yeah this is (I believe) the biggest Randy’s ever been, which is odd considering he was out w. a back injury.

He got popped for PEDs post OVW debut to the main roster.

Check out Orton then.

He was almost Cena-esque.

IMHO he's always looked better when leaner.

We still have:

- civil war

- Roman’s babyface arc

- new blood runs amok

- Roman vs. Rock

2 plus years to go of it IMHO.

[LoganAlpha30X33]

Kind of funny to see a wrestler at the PBA bowling event, I think he's a member of Judgement Day, but not Dom or the two top guys. Baron Corbin is there as well, maybe some cross promotion thing.

As for the Bloodline, not sure how part time Rock and Roman are supposed to carry a storyline for starters.
