How is that a point? If anything it's a point against them winning. Cosplay contests have judges. Judges are supposed to factor in precedent when judging a case. There is no stronger precedent than someone who already won.

I don't care enough to have a real stance on this!

I think moreso it's just lazy to keep doing the same thing over and over. Probably why I don't watch WWE anymore.

(just kidding, it's that + the Saudi poo poo and them being a gross company in general and all of the other million of reasons they stink)

I answered this before too. WWE and NJPW did talent trades back in the 90s.

Obviously this wasn't make or break for NJPW but these idiots will insist that NJPW would have gone under if Vince didn't allow them to be graced with the best talent in the world or some poo poo.

which like honestly if you don't tell people it's a reference to the adult vtuber while also acting like a lovely weirdo it's whatever but it's this specific detail buried in the mountain of entitlement that really pushes it over the top

So basically you're cosplaying a dude in trunks which is like half the dudes in wrestling and then you're not even wearing trunks that he wears. What are you expecting, my guy?

lol at him hedging & backpedaling in the comments thread. He tweets "if it's true & I honestly believe it is true" and then when challenged he's suddenly all "what I never said it's true why would you even think that".

History really needs to start giving Vince the credit he deserves for his push of Abe "The Oak" Lincoln during his title run.

I wonder what logic leaps they'd go through if they got told that the WWE would be very different if Inoki didn't cash for WWF talent to cover the post mania 1 period while Vince was waiting for the final figures/cash.

ROH shutting down is more of a symptom of Sinclairs's poor shape (they're losing soooooo much money on the regional sports networks) than having literally anything to do with the quality of their product

People signing ROH contracts was a joke for years before AEW even existed when compared to NXT 1.0 and just being a free agent.

I'm guessing their metric is basically "unless you're literally more famous than The Rock you aren't Over" in which case basically no pro wrestler in history has ever been over besides Rock himself
