Selachian posted:I've also seen people equate Nyla with Nia Jax. Apparently all big brown women look the same. I once accidentally typed "Nia Jax" instead of "Nyla Rose" in a post encouraging people to vote for her in one of the Champions of the Month polls that Jerusalem does, when Nyla's reign as AEW Women's Champion came to an end and didn't notice until after the poll had ended. I hope you're not counting that.

Should he make a pauper's share of merch royalties while working the endless house show circuit, boost his international profile as 'The Janitor' Kennard Beta, and probably have blend-together matches because he'd be forced to cut 8mins for a Weekend At Uncle Howdy's vignette? Who's to say?

Dawgstar posted:https://twitter.com/JoshuaHedley/status/1630031177150083073 the fun thing is that he's also wrong. The Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship in All Japan Pro Wrestling is a unification of the PWF World Heavyweight Championship, the NWA United National Championship and the NWA International Heavyweight Championship, inheriting lineage from all of them. The NWA International Heavyweight Championship is the belt that Lou Thesz was awarded in 1957 and Rikidōzan beat him for in 1958, subsequently won by Giant Baba after Rikidōzan's death. There is a direct lineage from this to Baba vacating the belt when he left to form All Japan to Bobo Brazil winning it to Kintaro Ohki taking it to the United States to Dory Funk Jr bringing it to All Japan to its unification into the Triple Crown when Jumbo Tsuruta beat Stan Hansen all the way to Yuji Nagata winning, and it's a history with a longer lineage than the WWE title. Now, you could claim that the WWE title inherits the lineage of the WCW title, but despite what WWE and WCW will tell you, the WCW title's lineage only goes back to 1991. Plus, the whole thing's fake.

On Asuka being pushed and getting a Wrestlemania match against Bianca, quite a take from some fans online:quote:I don't need everyone to be the second coming of Ric Flair, but could you imagine being in any other form of televised entertainment for years on end and simply not learning the primary language of the audience? Jesus Christ, John Cena learned Chinese. This chick seriously can't be bothered to learn even enough English to not sound like it's her first day in the country? Embarrassing.

DarkstarIV posted:On Asuka being pushed and getting a Wrestlemania match against Bianca, quite a take from some fans online: I'd say that I'm pretty sure that if these people were to watch Japanese or any non-English speaking wrestling they would be the sort of people who would complain that it wasn't in English or at a sensible time for them. However, I then realise that most of these people either don't watch anything other than WWE or are part of the Russo or Cornette tribes. It's also an incredibly dumb take since things like Takeshita saying "I said KISS MY rear end!" to MJF got him big cheers and his in-ring stuff has gotten him over more than any big long promo would, and Asuka's general charisma is ridiculous so she could be silent and still get over.

I think it’s kind of a bummer that wwe will hire a japanese woman from japan and not like pay for her to have an english tutor But then again i also think the wwe should have their wrestlers working with acting coaches, clown college slapstick instructors, speech coaches, and better doctors and physiotherapists than whoever is turning knee joints to dust at the performance center

DarkstarIV posted:On Asuka being pushed and getting a Wrestlemania match against Bianca, quite a take from some fans online: I haven't watched WWE in years, but Asuka was generally among the most charismatic people on the roster when I watched. And from recent clips I've seen, that hasn't changed. Not every wrestler needs to be cutting promos to get over, sometimes you've got enough personality that comes across in the ring and in your physical actions. And Asuka yelling at someone in Japanese? Guess what - it's cool as hell and people will cheer for that.

I recognize that getting promo classes from shawn michaels and such is probably helping some of the talent, but imagine how good things could be if the roster got regular time with speech coaches to not sound so wooden with some of the poo poo that the writing team gives them The carny mindset that wwe has is so bizarre, it would be cool to see them embrace the modern day possibilities.

All you need to know is if they're currently faces or heels. Seriously though, it is incredibly lazy when two people who were mortal enemies for years suddenly become friends regardless of what horrible things they may have inflicted on each other in the past solely because they're both the same alignment now.
