I love Perreault but if they have to make tough decisions, him and Myers, as @Goalie wrote, could provide a lot of options for the Jets. Lots of talk Jets want Max Domi as well. Perhaps they'd be interested in both...

Perreault has three years left at $4.1 Million per. Myers has one year left at $5.5 Million. If the Jets dont plan to sign Myers (or he doesnt want to stay), he might be the obvious one to move out. He's attractive for other teams because his actual cash salary is less (so a lower cap team with space might like him). Jets could use that $5.5 in cap space to sign Trouba long term.

I'd be fine putting him with Heyman as a mouthpiece where Nak only had to say a few words. Actually, the idea of Nak physically reacting to Heyman's promos sounds awesome and hilarious.

Ah fair enough. I watched some of that promo as I usually dont watch SD or watch on FF. When they did the pillow fight gag, I FF'ed though I understood him just fine. There is still some powerful old guard types in WWE that might be moved along when Hunter takes over and speaking their own language might be something more allowed. I find the shows that Kevin Dunn doesnt produce to be a lot better (and word is, he's gone the second Hunter is allowed to can him).

As I recall, they didnt say what the stip was in that promo. It was Nak joking that it would be a pillow fight. I understood him just fine. He might be putting on the accent a little thicker on purpose, Im not sure. The mouth guard for sure doesnt help. Cesaro sounded rough wearing his too. Talent rises when booked right. There's an argument for letting them (or one of them as a gimmick) cut their promos in Japanese. I think Asuka did that once and because she's sounding confident when she speaks her native language, it came across well even though most fans would have no idea what she said.

Perreault can play in the top six but makes your bottom six exponentially better. He's a role player that would be a big loss if we traded him. Under contract, he'd get a good return. He's not elite so let's not get crazy. But there would be plenty of competition for his services if the Jets offered him up.

I thought Frosty was joking! lol What that guy did was nothing short of superhero-like. To scale 4 stories in 30 seconds, not a hesitation in his mind. I dont know what would be the most heroic act on the planet in 2018 would be but thats got to be up there. Incredible.

Plenty of American wrestlers can't cut good promos either. Nak is a decent promo. I assume you're referring to his accent? Its likely true that some North American fans would have trouble relating to non-white and non-accented wrestlers but Nak is pretty effective in what he does and pretty over. Its probably more the fault of how they are booked that WWE traditionally has difficulty booking non-English speakers in roles that aren't stereotypes. WWE has a documentary up about Nak and its far more effective than their booking in making him relatable as a person. But guys not being good promos is something that has existed for 100 years in wrestling and there are ways to over-come it. Brock Lesnar is generally a terrible promo and he's the world's champion. Ronda is so-so as a promo. You'll always have racism in wrestling (like anything else) or white-centric but I think talent gets over with most of the fans. WWE is very keen to push stars of other ethnicity because its so important to their global business and they have to support that by featuring that talent on their main programming. I actually think what they're doing with Nak as a heel ("No speak Engrish") is pretty effective because he does speak English and is capable of getting his point across even if his accent is fairly thick. But of course it is very important for talent to learn the language. One reason Mistico didnt work out was he didnt try to learn the language. On the flip side, in Japan, Omega learned the language. We had a female Japanese wrestler on a show a couple of years ago and she spoke very little English but Kenny spoke to her in Japanese.

Her role in GoT is pretty one note so she nails it decently. She was not a great choice for Sarah Connors in Terminator though.

Pretty big signing for fans of women's wrestling, WWE signed Io Shirai from Stardom (women's promotion in Japan). Real name Masami Odate, 28. She had a heart issue that was discovered during WWE medicals but has since received a clean bill of health. WWE has been interested for awhile but their offer is less money than she makes now, but the upside of making it big in WWE is what is attractive. Top female wrestler in Japan for years.

Both Perreault and Myers will have teams lined up if the Jets make them available.

Hmmm, thats a good point.

He sure does!

Trump sends officials out to provide background info to the press. And then denies the statements were said and attacks the press as fake news. The president is lying.

My PM function works as I was having a great conversation with one of you here lol Anyway,

Well Trump clearly doesnt know the difference between an illegal spy committing espionage and a government informant providing information to law enforcement of illegal activity. Too bad Trump doesnt know anyone who can explain these things to him....like, I dont know, any number of Law Enforcement directors, AG, or his revolving door of lawyers.

If it's not relevant to the actual discussion, posts should be PM'ed. Not a difficult concept. If you require further information, we can discuss via direct messaging. Thank you.

Things are getting desperate

Im trying to keep the thread on topic. Please do the same. This is tiresome and happens too often. A mod will come along and delete a whole bunch of posts (which I disagree with BTW) and then the whole "discussion" was a waste of time. Here's some more "US Politics": https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/us/politics/michael-cohen-viktor-vekselberg-trump-tower.html

Lol stop trolling the tread in hopes of getting it shut down Anyway in US Political news (I think that’s the topic)

You're still talking about yourself.

Yes, YOU turned the discussion that way. Lets move on... lol
