Would you be my new best friends?

A wider discussion of Charlotte's merits as a performer are better suited to the WWE Discussion thread even if they originated as part of a podcast discussion. Please shift back to podcast discussion in this thread.

On that note, I haven't really listened to the Portland Wrestlecast at all, but Jim Valley's latest discussing Rocky Johnson's time there is a really good listen, as is basically anything that Jim Valley does.


This man made 96 million* dollars purely from his time as a wrestler on the indies in Seattle in the early 2000s

* Actual figure may have been monumentally smaller.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
I know you're a troll, but for everyone else's benefit.
...I never did recaps. I was paid for everything I wrote for the site, in most cases much more than any other wrestling site would have paid. I've never been completely clear on if the newsletter pay was officially out of the site's budget or Bryan's sentimentality, though. Really, where everything started going downhill was when I was earmarked for the "person who edits Dave's front page posts to add SEO and context so the front page isn't full of "Raw rating was a' headlines" role that eventually went to...gently caress, what's his face, board troll, I forget his name.

Tony was insistent that, to gear up for it, I do extra work without a set pay rate to gear up for it. I was uncomfortable with that because I wasn't just gonna work for free. Whatshisface did, I guess, and the role was shunted off to him (for what pay, I have no idea) without any warning to me when the emergency redesign happened. (The redesign was intended to be the shift to the current version of the site where they actually have SEO and stuff, just on a different timetable.) When I pointed out to Tony that he had promised me that role and told me why, I pointed out that I wasn't gonna just start doing lots of extra work for some undefined, possibly nonexistent sum. He just said that I should have trusted him to pay me fairly for it at the end of the month.

Umm...OK. No.

In what I'm sure is a coincidence, by the way: At some point in the past year or so, Tony deleted the contents of our Google Hangouts chat log (I had forgotten you could even do that unilaterally), which is where he had said all this.

If she wasn't eliminated right after the spot would of been cool. But eliminating her just instantly makes everything she did look stupid. An elaborate plan needs a payoff or you just look like an idiot.

edit: She looked dumb but it wasn't her fault, it is the booking.

I'm pretty sure they always quickly eliminate people in those spots in case the spot goes wrong.

Most of what I saw were videos of her entrance, or meme images of her looking sullen as santina came out. I think it's fair to not like the "elimination save" spot that she did, but their discussion was pretty fuckin trashy.

(the "dont criticize what you cant physically do!" argument is also trashy af though)

The RR spot works when is spontaneous and out of nowhere not when is some willie e coyote contrived set up.
Those marks should have used better language but they are right.

also the wwe marks should rally up on better causes like not wrestling for the Saudis.

The John Morrison parkour spot, which was the progenitor of kofi spot, was actually like a contextual thing because they built him up for weeks and weeks as this parkour master and incorporated it into his matches and then rumble time comes and he manages a wild save for himself and you go "oh yeah, he's the parkour guy now, of course he could pull it off"

At least that is how I remember the timeline.
