(Not saying you, just experiences I've had in general.) Uh, it's not that.

Who would you trust to jump off the top of the cell without killing themselves, Shane or Banks? Also, if Sasha and Bayley are really this mad about dropping the titles... man. Fun little story. When I was training as a wrestler we'd run indy shows on the weekends. And our trainer, who was the booker, was part of the tag team champions at the time. And he dropped the belt at a show to a new team that had just graduated. And we were all really impressed that he was so selfless and would put someone over. Then when some of us talked to him he told us the reason he dropped the title. The belt was heavy and he was sick of carrying it to each town. Wrestlers today are bigger marks than the fans.

That isn't unique to wrestling fandoms, it's every fandom of everything, be it music, other TV shows, etc., e.g. the Magic: the Gathering thread is full of people who complain that Magic was ruined in 2009 (or whenever it was that they implemented the "new world order" card design) and keep playing it religiously, except Magic costs like 10 times what wrestling costs to follow, even if you attend shows. Not to mention a lot of people who complain a lot about the product also don't watch it, they just read the Wrestling Observer summary and then act like they watched it.

when I used to watch The Walking Dead television show, a lot of people strongly disliked it and thought it was very stupid and liked to argue with people who enjoyed it, and it reminded me of WWE wrestling in that regard. the show was very bad at the time and I stopped watching when it did not appear to be getting better. I've heard that it did get better. WWE will never get better, it seems like, however. another thing that happens is people who play online video games tend to really begin to despise it and make angry videos or long posts about why it's irreparably hosed up, but they play it very often nonetheless. I think there is definitely a larger community of people than is often discussed, who internally quite enjoy the process of hate-consumption. I was beaten to bringing up this topic by the angry grimace, and I apologize.

alpha_destroy posted:I've only been to one Raw, but when I went the pop Bayley got was easily the biggest of the night. It is crazy to me to look at what happened to her... I went to 3 NXTs when they toured the PNW and Bayley was so over and little girls were SO into her. They really dropped the ball. I think the sad un-inflated waving tube men at Wrestlemania says it all. They had something really special with her, but just couldn't figure it out.

Becky trying to do a Twitter beef with Lacey Evans is kind of random given that Becky has a number of individual tweets with more likes than Lacey even has followers. To be quite honest, I'm not actually sure how this program could possibly go that doesn't result in Lacey Evans being irretrievably buried.

Knowing Vince? Lacey beating Becky. Clean. Because he apparently sees Lacey as a big future star or something? I mean that door shut long ago (with the fans) when they had her catwalk for like 4 months or something, and her horrendous performance in the Rumble.

I would like asuka and kairi to have a feud that turns into respectful tag teaming, and chasing the belts. They seem to deserve it more than the iIconics.

Asuka/Kairi would be a pretty loving awesome team, but Asuka should know that Kairi's ultimate goal is to defeat an Emperor/Empress. Also everybody should remember that the thing to throw your disdain/anger/frustration/sarcasm towards is WWE the company - posters and wrestlers (outside of the likes of literal white supremacist Lars Sullivan) aren't the problem, the company is. Angry Grimace posted:Becky trying to do a Twitter beef with Lacey Evans is kind of random given that Becky has a number of individual tweets with more likes than Lacey even has followers. Is it weird that I'm kinda relieved that Lacey is Becky's first feud after Mania? I just kind of assume she's there to get smashed by Becky to further showcase how powerful the Champ Champ is before a "real" rival comes along.

MotU posted:what about noted cop lover Randy Orton While he's dull and phones-it-in on the main roster, it's noted frequently that at house shows where WWE's micro-management is either absent or relaxed, Orton is a lot of fun. So yes, I'm inclined to say the company is the problem, and I support Randy phoning it in on the main roster and taking a lot of Vince's money for it. The latter is also why I can never truly dislike Brock Lesnar.

Wanted to catch up on a few wrestling things this afternoon... - The Table for 3 where Johnny Gargano keeps talking about his intense WWE obsession, how he had ladder matches against his stuffed animals, how he had Shawn Michaels painted on his bedroom wall, and how he likes WWE because the props are set up nicely and he's not falling through lovely arena guardrails anymore = awww - Dave Bautista's interview with Lilian Garcia where he talks about how much he loves wrestling, how hard it was to avoid taking the Royal Rumble backlash personally, and how badly he needed to come back for a feeling of closure = oof - Charlotte's special that starts with her crying at Reid's grave = holy hell Wrestling is emotional, folks, god.

DoctorGonzo posted:Brock is a loving legend Brock is legitimately the greatest wrestler of all time. He works the shortest schedule of any other wrestler. Was champ for years, finagled a shitload of money out of wwe, and was even allowed to rep sponsors. Meanwhile every wrestler who "dreamed" Of being in wwe gets hosed over and over again, but don't ask for anything better because they've bought into the wwe cult.

Some douchebag successfully shifted the conversation from complaining about WWE's business practices to how it's our fault because we're talking about it and how we should stop complaining. Company bad. Treating wrestlers poorly bad. This eon't stop being true no matter how much you don't want s to talk about it.
