Hedgehog Pie posted:I respect the WON HOF discussions and all that (and I enjoy reading them!) but I came to the decision some time back that you yourself should just like who you like first and foremost. Especially if you're like me and you don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of world wrestling through the ages. The whole thing is more fun that way. But then how will you know you're winning at liking wrestlers?

I don't watch WWE, so when I saw people saying Karrion Kross had a disastrous run, I can't seem to find any information as to why it was so bad. Can someone explain?

imagine you took a guy who is mediocre at best and whose whole appeal is being booked strong and having a really hot valet and then you split them up, beat him like a drum, and dressed him up in this

FUCKFACE MORON posted:When Kross hit the main roster, they stripped away everything that made him stand out in NXT, so he became just another guy. Also he jobbed to Jeff Hardy quickly in his RAW debut, and what made that worse was that he was still NXT Champion when it happened. He was also undefeated at the time.

How would a union actually work in North American pro wrestling? I pro-union and know the benefits of being unionized, but with the indies / smaller-tier national feds / WWE + AEW and the way wrestlers move between them, how would it go about benefiting its members? Would be like the Actor's / Screenwriter's Guild?

I think the main crux would be protecting guys from not having to do things they were concerned about safety wise, making sure guys can't be fired while injured if they got injured wrestling, and making sure they had all the relevant types of insurance, and making drat sure they had mental health coverage.

I asked the wrong question - I meant to ask how would it (probably) work in terms of membership? Would it be like getting a SAG card? "You wrestled for this federation on this weekend, here's your card, it's good for one year?"

Nah, that guy wrestles as ZZ Loupe and he's only had like 4 matches ever. Zicky Dice is now in a stable of trainees in Impact led by Brian Myers, along with VSK and Manny Lemons and I think some other dudes.

I guess dumb question but did any wrestling promotions ever reach out to OJ Simpson to appear at a show? Seems like something scummy and carny enough that it might have possibly happened during the late 90's.

It's Bruce Prichard so take that as you will. Edit: Or was it that they actually used the footage of the OJ chase and claimed it was Piper?

Where did Bilibili move the language/audio stream option? A lot of wrestling videos with both Japanese and English audio used to have an option on the bottom where you could switch between the two. It looks like they got rid of it or moved it, but I'm still seeing videos with "bilingual" or "English commentary" in the titles.

Did anyone from AEW ever talk more about the issue of unions? I only ask because I remember reading comments when it first started that hinted that they would be leaning in that direction, but I was sceptical for the obvious reasons. I understand that they've helped a number of workers privately.

With that Eddie Kingston article going around, I wanted to ask if anyone was familiar with his runs in ROH and TNA. That would be the closest to the "big time" that would have been around pre-AEW (of course excepting WWE). Did they underutilize him? Was he in TNA when they were in that weird space after the Spike TV deal was gone and they were barely on TV and mostly just on Twitch?

They used him briefly in the CZW feud, then more regularly a few years later with the highlight being a brutal feud with Hero. Then later on they teamed him up with Homicide it didn't work at all. His stuff in TNA with the LAX feud is very good for what it is. He wasn't used as a top guy, but I don't think Eddie was quite the performer he is right now. He's obviously been able to talk for years, and was fine in the ring, very good in certain situations but his matches have been the best consistently they've ever been. He turned a corner and that article is easy to see why.
