Vince MechMahon posted:It's not Cody nepotism points. Do you think when people get out of the performance center onto NXT that's HHH nepotism? It's literally a school founded to be a place to get new young talent from. It literally wasn't though? It was QT and Glacier's school for a couple years before Cody also wanted to teach so he got brought on as an additional owner and they capitalized on his name recognition to grow the business. And there's a fundamental difference between getting paid to be at the PC than paying $4500 for a 12 week pro wrestling boot camp that happens to get you face time with decision makers from one of the two national TV wrestling promotions. Also, to be clear, I'm not mad or anything that Julia's gotten this opportunity and understand the sequence of events that got her in with Varsity Blondes, just kind of surprised that they see that level of upside with her, which is based only on what I've seen on Dark/Dynamite. I am at a "Huh, weird, ok" level with this.

I am at a "Huh, weird, ok" level with this. My guess is that, with her age taken into account, her improvement was meteoric so they gave her extra rope (her enhancement matches in AEW) to see if she would plateau and she just lucked into the Varsity Blonds gimmick thanks to Pillman.

The main event at the local show I went to tonight was Sonny vs Dante, so pretty much an Elevation match. Dante got a huge pop cause he's from here but the place exploded for Sonny.

Yaya posted:I liked Danny Limelight and I hope he makes lots of money Yeah, getting to still work New Japan is good because it means I'll still get to see him wrestle too (I mean, if we're going to continue to pretend that he and Rocky Romero aren't the same person).

Her strikes in particular look vicious.

I too, am ready to see Sonny in a program on Dynamite, or at the very least Rampage.

I really wonder what Rampage is gonna be all about. It should be 50% women's matches AT LEAST imho

Her strikes in particular look vicious. i agree, ish, i just wish she'd trade in some of the more acrobatic moves for stuff that hits harder the rapid kissmissile (cartwheel handspring slap) is fine as a signature, but none of the split legged stuff looks like it has much impact at all, the split legged stunner kinda works if she can get a better handle on it, but if it can't hit hard, pitch it for something that does imo, and she'll have a TNT champ run sooner than later but yeah the strikes are vicious and

I recall a month or two ago Sonny ended a match (which lacked Joey DUN DUN DUN) by cutting a promo where he put the rest of the locker room on notice, so I really hope that goes somewhere. He deserves only the best imo,. Also Sonny was good enough to do a Cameo for me for my buddy's birthday. It's not normally something I would have thought of but I look forward to my friend's brain melting when Sonny literally says his name and provides some words of encouragement. Strong recommendation.

Based on pictures from the show he also wrestled in long pants, which looked better than the trunks he typically wears, but I am also biased towards long boys.

I feel like Sonny's ridiculous flexibility is perfect for some kind of crazy submission finisher.

I'd like to see more of Sonny vs Angelico. They've only had one singles match, as far as I know. I think there's the potential for lots of cool/fun stuff with their combined skillsets and character work.

I feel really stupid to be fair with the hernia he has and his refusal to go to a doctor I wouldn't be shocked if he just randomly dropped dead at any point I don't know anything about hernias and what they do so maybe it's not actually dangerous and just hurts a lot or something

I am at a "Huh, weird, ok" level with this. Nothing weird about it. She's still obviously very green, but already looks decent in the ring. Even beyond that, she's crazy over, has a great look (and I don't just mean she's very pretty, she's got that ... I dunno, X factor) has a good eye for putting on a show and is working well with the Varsity Blonds. It's easy to see a huge upside here, and it makes total sense to lock her down before Vince spite-signs her to catering or something. Vince MechMahon posted:Dante got a huge pop cause he's from here but the place exploded for Sonny. That's so awesome. I'm not going to pretend wrestling is still a hotbed of enlightened attitudes, but it's so great to see people get to be themselves and be accepted and get over. We don't have to go back too many years (and we don't have to jump too many modern feds) to be in a place where openly gay, trans or genderfluid wrestlers would be an impossibility. And of course Sonny's awesome in the ring as well. Shaman Tank Spec fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Jul 11, 2021 |
