Meanwhile WWE has ignored that one person with the "Vancouver for Wrestlemania [#]" at every single Wrestlemania for the past probably 20 years, because they know they can't top Judy Bagwell.

It's more because gently caress Canada

They're never giving Canada another Mania

WWE Countdown was filmed in Vancouver and that is by far the greatest thing. The Ascension are still walking down the ramp to this day.

I do like how they make it seem like it'll be Dolph Ziggler running around an arena in the middle of a show trying to find and defuse a bomb-- which, let's be honest, would be a pretty neat if stupid movie-- but instead he almost immediately leaves the arena and searches through basements in really long, unnecessary sequences.

Springboards

quote:

impactliveTNA • 10 hours ago
This is a big deal to me. Jesse Godderz knows how to legit springboard & probably the biggest man in wrestling to be able to do it. Only 80% of x-division style & Luchadors can top rope springboard & only one woman knows how to do it correctly apart from a few Joshi girls. Austin Aries, Kalisto, etc all can't springboard but Jesse Godderz at 248 Ibs can.

SPRINGBOARDS

I never seen Chris Hero (only 225 ibs) or Austin Aries (200 ibs) do top rope but other springboards. Yes I know Punk can do it since his TNA days but he is only 218 pounds. Jesse Godderz is 250 pounds & a power man so it is pretty impressive. Kalisto does 2nd rope springboards & SC botches them. These guys been in many matches so if there is no actual footage of them doing it, they can't

A Google search for "Kalisto springboard" immediately returns footage of Kalisto doing top-rope springboard moves.

Cena can do springboards and he can squat 600+ lbs and Cena is the greatest person alive. I don't see what's wrong with that logic.

I worried every time he went for it that he was gonna misjudge the distance and gently caress up the other guys knees, so I'm glad he stopped doing it, and i bet his spine is too.

The springboard stunner is so great exactly because of how stupid and out of place it is. It's like Cena was walking out and someone told him "hey you should do dumb indie moves, starting now" and that's what his robot brain decided that meant.

He only stopped doing it because he got hurt. Who knows if it's still in his arsenal?

Other than the manly comment, there's nothing hugely awful about that top comment. Being worse than the butterfly is a taste thing I don't agree with but the Women's Championship is based on the ugly Men's Championship belt with some ugly colouring. That's still a net upgrade in the end.

Yeah, the manly bit is pretty much the whole reason I added it. It's an ugly belt yeah, but too manly is such a weird complaint given all the people wanting the women to be taken seriously.

Nothing is uglier than the butterfly belt, though. I'm not well-versed in the history of ugly belts, but to me the butterfly belt is only surpassed by Jeff Hardy Facepaint belt in how awful it looks.

This might be a weird opinion but they should have just made it an appropriately sized version of the Men's belt, like how all the UFC belts look the same. I kinda figured the "Giant logo" thing was sort of them being envious of the UFC belts, anyway.

I think they don't bother to size down the UFC belts for lower weight classes in the UFC so Joanna has to lug around a belt the same size Werdum does for her pressers.

I hate that all the UFC belts look the same. They should at least have the weight division on them. But no title should ever look like the crap ones they use in boxing.
