politics in my wrestling? its more likely than you think since cspam and wrestlehut have a large crossover and politics when it comes up in wrestling (reminder WWE hall of famer donald trump is your president) causes lots of headaches for j-ru over there lets have a wrestle thread here. if you're completely new to wrestling, ask any question you want in this thread and we'll try to answer it because i can't cover everything in a single OP or thread. a brief breakdown of wrestling promotions Wahhabi Wrestling Entertainment: commonly known as the WWE, formerly known as the WWF until the world wildlife fund won its lawsuit over the acronym. run by mcmahon WWE has 4 weekly wrestling shows: RAW on mondays, Smackdown on tuesdays, 205 live also on tuesdays, and NXT on wednesdays. NXT is its own thing separate from the other shows, 205 live wrestlers usually get to wrestle a match on RAW. RAW is WWE's flagship product and airs 5pm EST on USA. Smackdown airs at 5pm also on USA but is moving to FOX in october. WWE airs roughly one PPV a month, available on the WWE network for $9.99 alright now that the information is out of the way, WWE is the shittiest company in all of wrestling. from the stories to the ethics of capitalism WWE loving sucks. vince's brain has melted and he can't write a story to save his life and refuses to turn over control to people with non-melted brains. FOX gave them a billion dollars and the KSA gave them another billion so WWE does not give a single gently caress that its in a death spin currently. for WWE's crimes against humanity that take place before 2018 pleast refer to massrafter's NY64 twitter tournament. and here's MRT and i think hulkamatt talking about vince's crimes for literally days All Elite Wrestling: for decades vince mcmahon has taken every opportunity to humiliate the Rhodes family. unfortunately for vince he's also a dumbass who granted Cody Rhodes his release from the terrible loving Stardust gimmick he was stuck in and immediately went to form a new wrestling company with kenny omega, chris jericho and the young bucks. AEW just had its first PPV, Double or Nothing which loving ruled and is on bleacher report live if you want to buy it. AEW's getting a weekly show on TNT in October but the day of the week has yet to be decided. New Japan Pro-Wrestling: I think they're the biggest wrestling promotion in Japan currently. I don't watch Japanese wrestling due to the language barrier and time zone but by every account it loving rules and you should watch it! NJPW airs their stuff on New Japan World for about $10 a month after you convert from yen. HOWEVER new japan world's billing cycles are hosed up and begin on the 1st regardless of when you actually sign up. to maximize your money make sure you sign up for their service on the 1st of the month. alright and now for the stuff i know nothing about so here's some OPs i stole from wrestle hut Lucha Thauros posted:There's been a surge of interest in Lucha Libre on PSP for both good reasons (Lucha Underground, Rey and Alberto leaving WWE, Fantasticamania, AAA ippvs) and sadly one incredibly tragic one. Joshi: or Women's Japanese Pro Wrestling AEW had a Joshi showcase on DoN and it loving ruled, check out this branch of wrestling ASAP RealFoxy posted:

If you really think about it wrestling and politics aren't that much different from one another.

Wrestling is bad. Its full of murderers and rapists. Even your childhood faves beat women. Some of them even used language that would later become known derisively as "gamer words" because video gamers love potty mouthed wrestlers.

interesting how the only good and authentic wrestling, lucha libre (lit. "book fighting"), has virtually no presence in the OP
|
# ? Jun 10, 2019 18:44 |

Did you read the OP because Lucha is definitely there, under the label "Lucha"
|
# ? Jun 10, 2019 18:45 |

its like 4th down (why?) and its just some quote from an idiot who knows nothing of lucha, and also I'm talking about real, authentic lucha (its not the kind of poo poo you can find on youtube lol)

Dave Meltzer is definitely on the spectrum and has the most powerful posting brain in wrestling, and is therefore very good.
