in her defense, it started as a softball answer because WWE monetizes the many hours their superstars spend carpooling to shows by turning it into a reality program on the Network, so it wasn't really obscure knowledge

Bayley won a two-on-one handicap match tonight, and at one point had both women she was against locked into two different submission holds at the same time. She came out of that match looking like a badass.

Her career and push are safe for now, I think.

THE LIAR
They went so far out of their way to put Bayley over strong (relative to how they used to push her, anyway), it's almost like they wanted to just use this as a do-over on the Bliss/Bayley feud from two years ago to say "yeah okay we're gonna actually push her this time, for real."

Which. Yeah. Yeah you should do that.

I don't think it was ever revealed but Bischoff would've been a good fit for it. sting doesn't make any sense, IIRC he hadn't been a heel since his Blade Runner days and maybe not even then

nah it was revealed

later in the same angle that the white hummer was in ther's a series of sketches that ends up with sting driving a white hummer with Savage but it never really was paid off


but a year later in 2000 bischoff randomly drives a hummer repeatedly into a dumpster to kill Hogan which was to pay it off (I think it was the first or second Nitro back after the Russo/Bischoff reset)

mixture of acrobatics and from back when things like poetry and urban planning were Olympic events.

edit: event categories would include mens & womens singles, tag and deathmatch

i would hope for a free fight category. Olympic Team Canada would be "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Allie, The Dark order, and PCO could probably wrestle a sick deathmatch

I think doing it with individuals like how amateur wrestling does it would be practically impossible. You can have a panel of nine judges like figure skating or whatever, but how does that work? say you've got, like, jeff cobb and T-Hawk or something going for the gold medal. figuring out who goes over is easy because it's an exhibition match and guys today really don't care that much, but after that, like... you rate each person's performance? that's going to depend wildly on the kind of match they're calling, and you could get a situation where the person that wins the match doesn't actually get the medal, because you can't predict that beforehand

i see only two real options. Each country brings like 10 dudes for a tournament format, you pair them up in each round and the overall performance is rated, and the best country gets the medal in the end. so like for example, you might have jungle boy vs eli everfly in one match and ultimo guerrero vs El Terrible in the other for the round, and the best country moves up. the judging would be super controversial but I think it's the only way for it to still be real pro wrestling

or, more interesting, you do a Bloodsport hybrid worked shoot style, but at that point it would be a question of why not just do MMA instead?

nah ya do it like regular wrestling is and points it over a time period, one guy really nails a springboard ddt? 5 points, the guy catches him and sells it well? also 5 points. End of the time limit: most points wins

They could layout like 4 spots for the judges and then be judged on match flow, crowd reaction, number of head drops anything really

No singles competition, it's teams of two or four depending on if it's a tag match or not
