Dynamite's recent tapings have wrestlers at ringside literally separated by face and heel lines and they cheer the matches accordingly, therefore I can't tell who's supposed to be who in this company

MRT, you know how you said we might have to shut down the thread (with the implication that the platonic ideal of dumb wrestling takes had been found), I think Satin took that as a challenge.

The Performance Center spends all that time doing crossfit bullshit and yet they wrestle a low-tempo style and everyone is blown up anyways

This kind of reminds me of a thing that happened in rugby. Jerusalem used to pop up in the rugby threads in SAS, so he probably remembers him, but about 10 years ago, South Africa used to have this guy at No. 8 (that's literally what the position is called) called Pierre Spies. Million dollar look, built like a loving tank, could run like a bullet, etc.



My goodness, he was built like a Greek god.

England would also field these huge forwards, like recent Bellator signing James Haskell




What neither of them had though, was any sort of workrate, and were often blown up and gulping in air deep into the second half.

Comparatively, New Zealand fielded this guy:



Kieran Read, while obviously fit and muscular, was never a "ripped" athlete like Spies or Haskell ever were, but had an immense workrate and was still galloping around in the final quarter, with seemingly no off-switch, and was an integral part of an intense, high-tempo style of play that won the team back-to-back World Cups in 2011 and 2015.

So basically, the Performance Center clearly favours the likes of Spies and Haskell, rather than producing Reads, and it's quite telling.

I remember when the NFL Draft world was all in a tizzy over Margus Hunt, an Estonian shotput guy who had literally less than a year of football experience, but he was 6'8 and built like a brick shithouse, so there was a ridiculous amount of hype over his perceived upside. The Bengals drafted him in the second round and he predictably went on to do fuckall in the NFL.

Also every year people go crazy over some 6'4 receiver before remembering that he can't run routes or catch a ball to save his life, and Brock Osweiler still gets paychecks despite his long and proven track record of being a poo poo QB because he's 6'7. WWE isn't the only sports league that still gets seduced by "goddamn lookit how tall he is!!!"

the average contribution is 50% of snaps, 0.2 passes defended, 0.3 sacks, 0.25 of a forced fumble and 0.25 of a fumble recovery. in the year 2018 all of these marks were exceeded for a very short time. Unbelievable

That was so frustrating to see because the position of those picks were high so they could have gotten good player and addressed different needs on their team but instead...they took two point guards. lol.

Ryan Satin sucks so much. He's both wrong and an rear end in a top hat.

By the way, for anyone who was worried about Jake's hotel room "quarantine," DDP relented and is letting Jake come home early, and just keeping him in his own room for the rest of the week.

If there was anyone in wrestling I'd be more concerned about being alone it'd be Jake, but I also fully understand why Jake would feel compelled to go to a show even when he didn't have to because he feels he needs to prove himself after 3 decades of burning promoters. Alls well that ends well.

He said in that article that he felt he had to do it because he "wanted to help those guys," so aside from wanting to prove himself, he may just like the idea of helping the new promotion succeed.

I'm sure that's why he mentions them in the tweet but it's an incredible assortment of names, and the wrong hauser.

Jake probably had a number of reasons for doing it, but I bet he has incredible motivation to hit it out of the park this time.
