Did they seriously just dismiss the (terrible) Black Lotus storyline with,"Oh she went back to Hong Kong"?

Huh. Filthy Tom on F4D being incredulous that contracts exist and you can't just peace out whenever you want. "What other jobs do people have where they're forced into these things?" Every other sport? Including wrestling?

pro wrestling contracts would be completely legally untenable though if anyone ever actually challenged them

She'll be back. Remember, she's in the S3 trailer with other female ninjas. She's presumably off getting her homies together for vengeance purposes. "She went back to Hong Kong" is just the explanation for why she's not after Pentagon or Azteca right this second.

Never see them brought up much but the voices of wrestling website has a bunch of good podcasts, I mainly listen to the flagship one and the shakethemropes podcast. Though Joe Lanza can get really grating when he goes off on a rant. Like last week when he was yelling about why people don't like Mauro; guy was near tears about how he didn't give a gently caress if John Cena kid fans didn't understand Mauro's puro references HE DID! It was pretty funny, but somewhat cringey

And I am taken to a place

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I enjoy shake them ropes, but can't handle the flagship since Lanza really irritates me.

I found out the other day that Lanza's like 53 now, and that explains so much about him. Outside of that, VOW Flagship is a recommend from me, especially when they cover some of the smaller purl companies.
