He's proud of starting the chant, lol. I showed him the end of Dynamite and now he's mad at Hobbes. "He's no longer the mitochondria of AEW"

Except he did not delete all of the retweets of people cheering him on for destroying QT Marshmallo, the no-talent Cody Rhodes dickrider and gatekeeper actively ruining every segment he's in and also ruining the segments he's not in by being a lovely booker and trainer driving AEW into the mud. So the upper-midcard road, I guess.

Liv Morgan superfans are definitely a thing. On Liv not getting a match at Wrestlemania amid reports that Ronda and Shayna are challenging for the tag titles at Mania: quote:Yeah that's why big star Shayna Baszler is gonna win them, by the power given to her by Warhammer Look, I agree Lita is washed up, but it's hilarious to call Becky Lynch a has-been considering she's still significantly more popular than Liv, and at least her singles title runs didn't completely poo poo the bed, unlike Liv's. Who ended up getting booed by the end of it because she couldn't cut a promo to save her life, and all of her matches were incredibly sloppy affairs.

DarkstarIV posted:Liv Morgan superfans are definitely a thing. On the subject of deranged superfans, there is an unhinged Alexa Bliss superfan on reddit that pretty much every day brings up the fact that one time the Lilly doll was the #1 selling item on the WWE store 2 years ago as the reason she should be pushed quote:The only place that didn’t like dark Bliss was Reddit. Lilly is still a top selling item. It’s been two years and people are still tripping over themselves to find Lilly dolls. When she attacked Bianca as dark Bliss, fans popped and chanted one more time as she mauled Bianca. When she threatened to tear scars in Bianca’s face, the fans cheered. When Alexa challenged Charlotte, the fans cheered and led yes chants. On social media, fans are loudly complaining they want evil Alexa and Lilly back. During Asuka and Bianca segments, the wrestler that is trending on Twitter is…Alexa Bliss. Evil Alexa segments had the highest YouTube views as well. If a male wrestler was getting massive pops and selling merch hand over fist with massive shipping delays because WWE shop couldn’t keep up with demand, Reddit would be screaming that he needs to be champion yesterday. But when it’s Alexa Bliss, it’s “scrap the massively over gimmick and put her back in a character she outgrew in 2018.” quote:She wants the spooky poo poo. Also it’s super over and the doll is still the top selling collectible and it’s been two years. If anything, lean in more. Make her spookier. Give her back her hypnosis and her telekinesis, and have her run amok. quote:A fully committed Alexa bliss push and not “face Bianca and get pulled off of TV.” Have her win queen’s crown, bring it to the Playground with a mini crown for Lilly, and sell limited edition “Princess Lilly” dolls. WWE would make bank. quote:Alexa Bliss has the highest selling merch item of 2021, an item that was so popular there were up to seven week shipping delays because WWE couldn’t meet up with the demand. The holiday Lilly doll sold out in two days. Lilly dolls sold out at the Royal Rumble 2023, nearly two years later and it’s still the top selling non-clothing item on WWE shop. Meanwhile it’s “there’s just no place for her on the card. Her evil gimmick didn’t appeal to me personally so she needs to stay home and return as the goddess and the Lilly doll needs to be shelved permanently.” quote:My headcanon is that when Brock heard he didn’t get to work with icon that is Lilly, he dipped. quote:If we are counting merch, then Alexa Bliss is a massive draw, as Lilly has consistently been a top seller for almost two years.

He was loving fantastic pre-show in Toronto - beast on the stick I was at a show in DC when QT came out several times during Dark tapings accompanying Factory wrestlers, and every time he came out he'd antagonize the crowd more and more. When, later in the show, Hook suplexed him on the stage, the pop was amazing. I was also at the show where he made Action Andretti into a star. He's a great wrestler and a great heel and I won't hear anything against him.

JUNGLE BOY posted:On the subject of deranged superfans, there is an unhinged Alexa Bliss superfan on reddit that pretty much every day brings up the fact that one time the Lilly doll was the #1 selling item on the WWE store 2 years ago as the reason she should be pushed It's funny because I think those dolls still sold well when they were brought back for a bit earlier this year, but not to the level they used to. But once she started wrestling again, it was pretty clear she was completely over the hill. I think over the past year she's had exactly one good match and it was against Io Shirai. Her feud with Bianca sucked (it also sucked Bianca into the Uncle Howdyverse), especially the matches. Where the first one is up there as one of the worst matches of the year, and the second one, while a marginal improvement, was still really loving bad. Dawgstar posted:"Give her back her hypnosis and her telekinesis." Alexa has talked about how she enjoys Bray Wyatt's work and storytelling and would love to get involved with it again. Which is hilarious since people are absolutely cooling off on him because of how lovely this latest run of his is.

Yeah the contracts were literally just enough to be able to choose them over just about any full time entry level job without putting yourself in a financial hole with the original promise of making your indie money on top, and then they stopped people taking those indie dates before eventually relenting again. This was when Pete Dunne started tweeting up a storm about how good the whole thing was for britwres as a whole whilst also not being allowed to work for the promotion he owned lol.

The match should have ended with Mox landing on the fork and comically shooting into the air while holding his butt saying "yeowch!" then he hits his head on a rafter and crashes down while birds comically circle his head and he gets counted out

I used to think that match was poo poo and would troll WWE fans about it. I watched it recently and it is actually good. Not "the best match EVER" obviously but still good. Hogan/Rock is also good I thought the "workrate" thing was mostly a meme, lmao at those graphs

Disco was paid significantly less, but started out around $80k in 2023 dollars, made $300,000 ($500K+ in 2023) in 2000 and was under contract to make even more if WCW hadn't folded. Then again, Broke Chico is using MediaReferee to get the scoops on wrestling salaries and net worth. It's obviously a super reliable site with no search bar but here's a helpful list of what everyone is making these days compared to back in the 1990s $15,000,000 - Brock Lesnar $13,000,000 - John Cena $12,000,000 - Stone Cold Steve Austin $10,000,000 - John Cena*, Roman Reigns $8,000,000 - Randy Orton, Seth Rollins $6 or 7 Million - Dolph Ziggler, AJ Styles, Jon Moxley $4,500,000 - Randy Orton* $3,100,000 - Becky Lynch $3,000,000 - Kenny Omega, Edge, Chris Jericho, CM Punk $2,880,000 - Mick Foley $2,100,000 - Ronda Rousey $2,000,000 - Paul Heyman, Roman Reigns*, Brandi Rhodes, Bryan Danielson $1,500,000 - Sheamus $1,100,000 - Charlotte Flair $1,000,000 - JBL, Finn Balor, AJ Styles* $800,000 - Samoa Joe $700,000 - Chad Gable, Karrion Kross $600,000 - Rey Fenix $550,000 - Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair* $450,000 - Kevin Owens $500,000 - Big E, Chelsea Green, Cora Jade, Donna Purrazzo, Mandy Rose, Iyo Sky, Nikkita Lyons, Dax Harwood, Josh Mathews, Chris Jericho*, Kofi Kingston $400,000 - Corey Graves, Santos Escobar, Dana Brooke, Matt Riddle $350,000 - Bayley, Askua, Alexa Bliss $300,000 - Dakota Kai, Gunther, Jacey Jayne, Mansoor, Mercedes Martinez, Otis, Alexa Bliss*, Natalya $250,000 - Bret Hart, Jimmy Uso, Carmella, Lana, Sasha Banks $200,000 - Carmelo Hayes, Angelo Dawkins, Roderick Strong, Toni Storm, Raquel Rodriguez $174,000 - Rey Mysterio $170,000 - Scott Steiner $150,000 - Bobby Roode, Solo Sikoa $100,000 - Liv Morgan, Rikishi, Sami Zayn $95,000 - Scott Hall * Several people's annual salaries changed over the course of 2022, apparently? The John Cena number specifically is "what he's being paid by WWE, on top of his Hollywood career" This seems like a very reputable source and not some sort of AI generated nonsense!

A variety of non wrestlers have pages. As of now the 20 highest ratings include: - Memphis commentator Lance Russel (7th) - DDT ref Yukinori Matsui (8th) - WWE French Language commentator Christophe Agius (12th) - TJPW ring announcer Sayuri Namba (16th) The top 5 are three of the Four Pillars, Mayu Iwatani and Black Terry so you know it's legit

Scrolling through in the other direction I see that 23 188 people have no rating and the bottom 5 include: - Bubba the Love Sponge - One Warrior Nation (Not the stable, just some guy cosplaying as Helwig who debuted in 2007) - Jenna Morasca - Amy Zidian (Who apparently was a valet for Jimmy Yang in WWE?) - Ed Ferrara Who are rated lower than the guy who killed Bruiser Brody and sex trafficker Hardbody Harrison
