IceAgeComing posted:My general rule is to not really judge the women that WWE had around that time: there are plenty of stories that show that they weren't prioritising the most important things for wrestling when it came to recruitment (although the Bellas both had a sports background so that's less the case for them); they weren't trained brilliantly because everyone involved knew that there wasn't much point in going above a certain level and when WWE women did try to go out there and have good matches they'd be told off for outshining the men. Remember that Sasha Banks and Bayley didn't want to rehearse their 2015 Brooklyn Takeover match because they were legit worried about being told to take bits out and tone stuff down and that was in 2015 AFTER they had began to turn the corner on women's wrestling. If the entire system is rotten then its not the fault of the talent. I respect Nikki Bella; when the expectations on what was expected in-ring changed she clearly worked very hard to try to adapt when she honestly could have gotten away with not changing and by the end was a perfectly fine wrestler in-ring; and she didn't deserve a lot of the nasty stuff that was said about her towards the end of her WWE run. A lot of the Divas were wrestling like 5 minute matches and it's understandable that any improvement would be glacial at that pace. Some women who held out there long enough did show some improvement, I can name Alicia Fox, the Bellas, Layla was never great at the offense but her selling/theatrics were wonderful, etc. Naomi's also a product of that system for the most part and she turned out all right, but it just took forever. This is also why I have a lot of respect for Natalya because for years she was the go-to "we need a woman in this match who can actually work" wrestler, especially once Beth Phoenix retired.

Cam Wellington from Walsall, UK, was nineteen years old, was a mainstay of Pro Wrestling Live in the West Midlands, and had already worked internationally for European promotions. He was apparently in talks to go to Japan. He died in November. Age and physical health make someone more or less *likely* to get sick, and more or less likely for the course of their disease to be bad, but the idea that this doesn't affect young people is a bucket of mind worms.

I'm 35 now and I caught covid 19 exactly one year ago. I was laid up for three weeks and had difficulty catching my breath for months afterwards. I was very lucky and I am fine now but there are other people I work with that caught it (nursing staff) that are still off work with shortness of breath, brain fog, fatigue and constant headaches. gently caress that guy and gently caress anybody who downplays how serious this virus is.

F4W, both board and some staff, seem to like him a fair amount. My friend who is far too into Bryan Alvarez was just relistening to an Xmas show during which they seemed rather happy to have received physical art by him.

So, the deal is, you weren't really contributing to the idea of this thread, MRT and Mob had it covered with better follow through before you half-remembered something and someone else's anecdote. If you want to post things from F4W's board in this thread, please do, but no one is going to pretend to care about you knowing any wrestling board deep lore.
