I've just been thinking how the brand split is going to work with the women's division, and I don't know what her strengths and weakness are besides seeing some nasty landings on her head. one time the IWC declared that Alica Fox had the best Fisherman's Suplex in the company. The next Raw Jericho comes out and does a picture perfect Fisherman's Suplex. So Alice Fox rules

Alicia Fox is great. Not the best in the world, but she gets being a heel and has some impressive moves and flexibility. Ditto for Summer really

I wish they would have run a little longer with crazy Fox. I know it's basically their go to gimmick for women in the last decade, but she really was good at it.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Sting did snitch on some folks. Sting found God, told his wife about his infidelities, and because Sting and Lex were legit quite close, I guess their wives were friends. Well, Mrs. Sting told Mrs. Luger what had been going on, and I guess Lex was doing that stuff too. Maybe they tag teamed a lady or two, who knows. Anyways, it basically killed Lex and Sting's real-life friendship. I'm not sure Sting ever caught an rear end whooping for that one, I don't recall hearing that. I think they may have mended things because Sting helped him find God iirc.

Alicia's tilt a whirl backbreaker is her best move. Always looks nasty (As an aside, does it seem like the women work exponentially stiffer or is that me) Love the way she pushes them off with such disdain after the move hits before she gets her 2 count.

Alicia has a few moves she does really, really well, and she brings a lot of strong character work into her matches.

I wasn't watching when it happened so could someone give a good overview of the HHH Reign of Terror? I know he held the belt for a long time and it was the height of his political power at the time, but can someone tell me how bad it was?

From August/sept of 2002 HHH held the belt until April of 2005 except for like 4 months and the majority of his matches were slow plodding affairs due to lots of bad opponents as well as HHH being way too huge and working injured.

He did a storyline where he all but said "blacks are not good enough to be World Champion, and I'll prove it by beating Booker T at Wrestlemania" and then he beat Booker T. Adding insult to injury, it took him forever to make the cover.

Vince/HHH have tried so hard to make it out like he meant ~criminals~ that by this point it'd be better if they just said "Yeah, it was real loving bad and never should have happened"

Agreed. Her 2nd best move is easily one of the best bridging northern lights suplexes I've ever seen. She always gets way up on the points of her toes and it rules.

I just remember there being one day where she showed up on Main Event or something and all of a sudden she was carrying herself and moving in the ring like a wrestler instead of like a model who was trying to be a wrestler. She used to be Diva Search competitor level hot garbage in the ring but she's sooooo much better now.

Didn't someone print out a giant  sign and put it up when HHH was walking down during his entrance or something and he noticed it, and pointed it out to HBK?I do, however, know someone that printed out a  sign and it appeared on raw in the crowd. I have no idea when that was, but it was certainly screen capped on here at the time, it might have even lead to the the whole sign being made.

What's the TNA audience like? They don't seem to be really into it, and they don't seem to 'get' Broken Matt Hardy at all. Plus when Jeff addresses them it's like he's in a panto. Is it still a free audience, smark-free, or what? Like, if Broken Matt was happening anywhere else, given the Internet culture we live in, wouldn't it be over as hell? Like, crazy crazy popular.

The audience is made up of people who are at Universal Studios and want to sit down for a bit. I don't think they've changed anything about the admittance setup, so actual die hard TNA fans can only get in the door if there are free seats.

I think both NXT and Fox would mutually benefit in a scenario like that, since NXT currently has only one established female talent and it wouldn't hurt to bring down someone else to fill in the gaps while others are being built up, and Fox can refine her character and get over much better when she returns to the main roster. Going to NXT did wonders for Tyson Kidd, and it's not like he was a bad wrestler before.

What the hell is up with Punk's character in 2012 and early 2013? I'm watching clips and he's just constantly coming off like a whiny rear end in a top hat that serves as nothing except to be a punching bag for the Rock. Watching him throw a tantrum in the ring after the '13 Rumble is hurting my soul. People always tell me heel Punk is better than face Punk, but this is really making me wonder.

Funny career trajectory; similar to Ziggler with the gimmick shifts although I think she's been the same kayfabe character the whole time.

Halloween Jack posted:Not technically backstage, but the Steiners were fond of taking liberties with jobbers in the ring, just because they could and it made them look good to work stiff. They could get away with it because they were legitimately tough, skilled wrestlers, and the guys they were beating up were usually jobbers who probably felt like they had to put up with it. The most notorious example is probably their match with the Nasty Boys. Much later in his career, after WCW, Rick Steiner got his rear end kicked for trying to take liberties with Vordell Walker, an indie guy with legit MMA training. Is there more info on this incident? Vordell wrestles locally a lot and I'm a big fan but had never heard this.
