This actually just reminded me of when I went to Raw I think 3 years ago now? Anyway there was an awesome Indian couple sitting behind me that shouted amazing chants all night, the main one I remember is "Let's Go Boobies!" when Nikki came out.

That couple bought a Randy Orton sign and a Jinder Mahal sign respectively, so imagine last night was a good night for them.

You just reminded me of Bryan Alvarez's story of going to a WWE show, and he was next to a guy who was family friends with The Great Khali and showed him tons of Khali pictures.

I thought I would be outraged by Jinder winning, but when it happened my reaction was basically "Oh, ok." Having him beat Orton was genius on WWE's part.

I thought it was solid overall, no really bad matches. I'd say Owens vs Styles and Usos vs Breezango are the standouts, maybe watch Zayn vs Corbin too if you're interested in that.

Say what you will about WhatCulture and WCPW, but this sucks and we'll probably start seeing an impact on other YouTube wrestling content sooner or later: https://youtu.be/Hd8KH86VXUY

Basically, now that YouTube has classified wrassles as inapproppriate content for advertising, WCPW's YT ad revenue has dropped to next to nothing and they have to cancel their weekly show for the time being. Sad to think what might be happening to smaller channels. I think Solomonster or Brian Zane (Wrestling with Wregret) might've at least mentioned something about their YT ad money disappearing.

It's a bummer for sure, but if advertisers don't want to advertise pro wrestling they should have every right to opt out.

Oh, absolutely. Wondering what the justification behind it is (other than "wrestling is violent, dumb and for idiots not worth advertising to") and whether or not other (actually) violent stuff like MMA is also affected by this.

For some god forsaken reason UFC wants less advertising and to give monopolies to certain sponsors. Its why theres an undercurrent but not organised push for unionisation.

I would imagine the justification for online advertising is the same for television advertising -- advertisers believing wrestling fans are too poor/low-brow to bother advertising to.

It was a show that happened. Nothing was terrible, nothing was outstanding. Jinder shouldn't be champion, no matter how bad of a champion Randy was.

This is just 1 step closer to Randy and HHH getting to 16 titles a piece then doing a fatal 4way with the current champ and Cena to see who breaks flair's record first. Wrestlemania 40 is gonna be a hoot.

This is assuming Charlotte doesn't break the record first.

As much poo poo as I give Jinder Dolph is worse.

It was a great example of how to make Nakamura awful was just have him do the WWE style face in peril. God his match with Zayn was so great.

ThePariah posted:

It's a shame that Cesaro is too foreign and uncharismatic to be WWE Champion. Hopefully Jinder will be generous enough to give him a few pointers on how to succeed.

Maybe he should learn to be from a country with a billion more people. Did Cesaro ever think of that? Or at least to claim his ancestry is from there sufficiently.

The show was a great example of a nothing WWE show. Some matches that were alright but not really worth going out of your way for, nothing truly horrible.

And what will likely be remembered as a historically bad decision. I could be wrong, but holy gently caress everything about Jinder Mahal WWE Champion is awful.

People want fresh new faces in the title scene but that doesn't mean that anyone that hasn't had the title before deserves to win the drat thing. Jinder is trash and has no place in the main event scene on the biggest wrestling promotion in the world.
