Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

People like displays of strength was all I was saying. Absolute nobodies in front of dead crowds can get pops this way which is why I mentioned Asya. There is also Johnny The Bull gorilla pressing Rikishi, the most memorable thing he ever did in WWE. You gain nothing by making your wrestlers wrestle worse. If they can do cool things let them do cool things.

Anya never got pops though and got written off TV with Vampiro killing her to anger the KISS Demon

That would imply they allowed people to get over on their own.

I can't check right now but like I said, I remember her getting a reaction for suplexing Eddie even in front of the Mayhem crowd. Not a huge pop but it shows people appreciate the cool and unexpected, like a woman lifting up a man for several seconds.

Asya and Dana are both really tiny so folks don't expect such feats from them. Apparently you have to be built like Chyna or Nia in order for people to recognize you can lift a few hundred pounds. Althogh anybody who saw Asya's thighs should realize she could kill dudes with them.


After seeing Asya I went and looked up Christi Wolf's bodybuilding career. Cool lady.

Has a crowd dumped on anybody for pointing at the Wrestlemania sign yet? As in someone they usually like eliciting boos specifically for the act of the point, not like Roman being Roman and getting booed for being Roman. It seems like the kind of thing that would've happened by now.

No, it's a meme so people always cheer it now unless they actively hate the person doing it.

Who was the best football player (in terms of actual football ability) to ever really become a star in wrestling?

I think you'd have to give it to McMichael, though that's cutting it close for a "star." But Ernie Ladd also won an AFL championship with the Chargers.

Mongo was a 5 time all star. I think "star" is a reasonable term for him (he also has a super bowl ring).

Because he did a great job at burying it, and rape is tough charge to make stick retroactively. Look at what it took to put Cosby away.

He's a capable brawler. Or was. Like most southern/Memphis guys, he throws excellent worked punches, and sells well but his moveset's not terribly inspired.
