Who are the top full time faces other than Reigns? Sami Zayn? Rollins I guess? Mojo Rawley? Ambrose? Pretty impressive company to be beating out I'm assuming that Cena, Taker, Orton, Jericho, Lesnar, Goldberg all count as part timers.

I don't know I'm not an accountant so can someone explain to me if I'm off base in thinking this? No other wrestling company would have the capital to do that.

Apparently insurance companies that cover movie stuntmen will monitor scripts and send loss control people to the set -- there probably isn't any wrestling company that wants to have to clear all their spots through an underwriter first.

Insurance Company: Well Mr. McMahon it's quite simple, you're covered for 100% of damages and literally the only thing you have to do is to have a plan written down more than 5 minutes before the airing of your live show and then stick with it. Vince: I can't live with these impossible conditions!

sportsgenius86 posted:This poo poo is such a self-fulfilling prophecy though. He has way more merch for sale at shows than anyone else. He gets shoved to the moon at the expense of drat near everyone. Yeah. I would want comparisons to Cena's initial years as top guy, house show sizes and money, number of legit competitors for merch, all with comparative percentages and adjusted for inflation. I mean, nobody needs to do that, but that's the kind of thing I'd be interested in seeing for a total picture (and probably some other stuff I'm not thinking of).

Kind of an odd choice to suspend the ring above the ground like that, but it should make the Battle Royal more interesting.

I can't really catch up with like 500 posts ranking Wrestlemanias but here's my list of I Can't Believe This Person Was Booked in a Wrestlemania Match I: David Sammartino II: Uncle Elmer III: Dangerous Danny Davis IV: Everyone here is fine V: Bobby Heenan VI: No real losers except Sapphire in a mixed tag I guess VII: Tenryu????? VIII: Skinner second from the top IX: Oddly fine with everyone except Giant Gonzalez X: Mo even though it probably made sense at the time, they were getting a push XI: Lawtence Taylor, even though it's pretty famous XII: Zip/Dr. Tom Pritchard, technically a Free for All Match XIII: The New Blackjacks in that gimmick XIV: Chainsaw Charlie/Terry Funk because I forgot how long that gimmick lasted XV: Butterbean 2000: Rikishi and Kane as a tag team X-7: Jim Cornette X-8: Maven in a real-rear end match XIX: Decent card XX: Garrison Cade 21: Luther Reigns 22: Super Crazy 23: Four way tie between Elijah Burke, Marcus Cor Von, Matt Striker, and Kevin Thorn 24: Deuce or Domino 25: Joy Giovanni 26: Caylen Croft 27: Tyler Reks 28: David Otunga 29: Fandango in a singles match that he won 30: Brad Maddox 31: Hideo Itami 32: Alberto del Rio because I had already forgotten League of Nations/anything about his second run Someone please explain how Caylen Croft was even a real person and not a rumor like Sexualities in Mortal Kombat II, I recognize the name but I remember the ECW New Blood more vividly than that guy

from Reddit paraphrasing the Observerquote:This had been building for a while with JBL constantly bashing Mauro on air about his pop culture references and activity on Twitter. It escalated after Mauro tweeted out about receiving the WON Announcer of the Year award which upset JBL (and he talked about it on "Bring it to the Table"). Dave also mentions that JBL must have said something to Mauro privately about it.

Dias posted:You're telling me WWE picked a perfectly good wrestler that got over with their own schtick and then hosed it all up, making them look like unredeemable garbage in the process? Say it ain't so. Yeah, WWE main roster hasn't been good for Enzo and Cass, but it wasn't stellar in NXT. I still can't believe they didn't resolve the Carmella plotline by saying she's going out with Cass and Enzo having the grace to back off. Instead, it was just dropped as a plotline and now Carmella just hung out with them. Notably they also have bad matches, no good matches, including Enzo having the worst match in Cesaro's WWE tenure, and literally almost dying at Payback last year. Them doing the plotline that Cass is nearly a main event level singles talent while Enzo is a loving loser who needs Big Cass to help him isn't good either, makes them both look bad. Imagine them trying to show that both have individual strengths and weaknesses that they complement as a team to be better than they are individually - WWE cannot do this. The lovely Cuppa haters catchphrase which they are pursuing hard to sell merch is bad, but everything involving the Lana plotline was awful garbage and classic "Rusev is clearly the good guy here", trying to gently caress some chicken, and just been lovely faces. Enzo seems like an rear end in a top hat, Cass has no real personality other than sticking to Enzo despite his constantly being an rear end in a top hat and substantially worse wrestler. The_Rob posted:The sliding under the ropes during the vaudevillians match was one of those weird freak accidents that could have happened to anyone. And yeah sometimes easy botches happen. Why were they doing fine in NXT and having pretty decent to good matches on a consistent basis there? No they weren't having great matches there, including not developing as many signiature spots as you'd want, and their finisher is still awful. And you can't say it was a freak accident when it only happened to Enzo, known for being sloppily dangerous with his selling. He consistently botches in his matches, this wasn't a freak accident, it was him loving up.
