More broadly it is an unsanctioned fight that was commonly held in a bar or a shady cellar somewhere. Think of the first fight in Rocky. The small time, local mma events are often called smokers as well.

Yuriy posted:at what exactly Getting jobs he's not qualified for on any level. OneThousandMonkeys posted:He is the #1 or #2 U.S. worker of his generation, and he's had an excellent reputation among hardcore fans on an all-around level since 2003. He's more skilled and far more creative than most wrestlers. But even his biggest homer fans know he is full of himself and can be a poo poo. That's what it takes to be a carny and he has that in spades. He became popular with the general fandom by consistently being way better than the guys WWE would rather have pushed, and turning storylines meant to bury him into the best events on shows. They seriously spent the better part of five years trying to ignore or bury him for not being Vince McMahon's delusional ideal. He once got squashed by the Undertaker because he wore the wrong shirt to a press event that no one saw. Meanwhile, the guys that Vince or Triple H actually likes can do no wrong, even if they fail enough drug tests to get fired. Nah he's sloppy as poo poo and looks like rear end in the ring. And being squashed by The Undertaker is an honor this kid should have been happy to receive. Jiro posted:That's like every wrestler who watched other wrestlers ever. Or any western wrestlers that watched AAA and NJPW. Not every wrestler who watched other wrestlers ever made themselves basically a CAW with KENTA's moveset and Wanderlei's taunts. vainman posted:Maybe. Maybe she's distancing herself from the guy who's fashioning his mid-life crisis after that Friends episode with Jon Favreau. We just can't know! If Punk's opponent isn't me, it better be Tank loving Abbott. 1st AD posted:CXB would tap Punk with something ridiculous, ain't gonna happen FTFY TwoDogs1Cup posted:Is it normal to not have a date for his fight yet? Or even his opponent? He signed like 4 months ago No. It's also not normal to sign a person who doesn't even train and has never fought. So normalness is not in play here.

Since this is basically the MMA/WWE crossover thread, I've got a question. Everything I read about Vince seems to indicate that he is an insane megalomaniac who is terrible to work for and makes all kinds of bad decisions that should damage his business. Why is the WWE so dominant then? Is it purely momentum from having the biggest brand?

Pretty much, there's no outside competition on any meaningful scale, the WWE attracts the biggest and most talented names because at least you know you're being paid on time

vince is an rear end in a top hat, and has made all kinds of terrible business decisions and even though he lets his personality really get involved in his business he is primarily operating wwe as a business. which is something that no other major company in north america has done since in like minimum 20 years.

Because that's the exact kind of personality it takes to manage and market a locker room of roided up rapists and drug addicts who are completely up their own asses to protect their spots on a fake fighting television drama.

While vince might be a dick, working as a midcarder in WWE pays better than being an indy maineventer, also you get to work in front of thousands of fans, in well maintained rings and WWE would pay for your surgery if you get injured

Bruce Buffer rules. Michael Buffer spent 6 months loving up everyone's name and couldn't look like he gave less of a poo poo.

Grifter posted:I'll check this out, thanks. For all the wrestling people, the UFC is pretty much the same way. The president is a guy who got the job by growing up with the owners. He now owns gun shaped bibles and dinosaur skulls and can't stop swearing at press conferences. On the other hand his competition murders dogs and gives 50% of their revenues to Russian (and/or Japanese) mobsters so the UFC is the best game in town.
