Honestly, the best thing for the wrestling world would be for WWE to keep factory pumping talent and only occasionally signing top indie talent. Every once in a while they are going to find an exceptional athlete like Ziggler and Swagger who just get the wrestling thing fast and become good hands for them, but otherwise they'll have a truck load of leftover GQ models and guys who wanted to be in MMA but couldn't find to choose from and pay as independent contractors. That would leave the wrestlers to, you know, wrestle. Maybe the life won't be as glamourous but at least they won't have to hear some guy in the middle of the ring say they FIGHT instead of WRESTLE.

Are you gonna dig up Reagan's corpse so you can shoot it and impress Sara Del Rey?

You obsess over female wrestlers and it's creepy.

Do you buy stuff for male wrestlers from Amazon Wishlists?

Maybe it's me but I also think it's weird that these people are putting up open wishlists. I know they are poor artists but drat.

This is apparently pretty old, but someone brought it up to my attention. Wade Barrett has a scar under his right arm. Ever wonder how he got that scar?


I wish that they would have let Barrett keep part of the Bareknuckle fighter in his gimmick. Same with Tarver's "1.8" gimmick. In both cases, Big Show vetoed those parts of their gimmick so as not to infringe on his "Knockout Punch"

If the new WWE Network gave Austin a show like " River Monsters," where he just traveled the world hunting down mythological monsters (Bigfoot, Yeti, Nessie, Sasquatch, whatever), I would buy a lifetime subscription.

The Legends House thing is worth about 4-6 weeks of decent TV. 12-16 of 'could actually air' TV. But other than that, NXT/Superstars, and rerunning classic tapes and WWE films, they have literally no other programming. Which is fine for an On-Demand service like 24/7, but an actual real cable station needs new-ish content for at least 8 hours a day.

Glitterbomber posted:

Yea I'm not super optimistic about the channel either but I can't think of any station that puts out 8 hours a day unless it's a "Here's today's football game, now the other, now some college football" station. Most channels have like, a real small window of brand new content coming out a day, you can very easily pad out your lineup with 'classic episodes' of wrestling and all and no one would feel different than any other station.

I'd love to get some old wrestling too but not before its hits the WWE sanitizing block. I scored a copy of the Starrcade 85(a personal favorite), straight from the original airing and it was amazing what WWE edited out for their 24/7 broadcast. It wasn't just music but entrances and portions of matches.

coconono posted:

the VHS release had like 5 minutes of the undercard matches and maybe 20 minutes of the main event.

the WWE 24/7 release was somewhere in between that and the actual PPV release.

I'd stumbled upon a copy of the PPV release and it was 45 minutes longer than the WWE 24/7.

How?

Karmine posted:

So you actually think that AJ walks around with a fake neckbrace on all the time and that the conversation she tweeted actually happened?

Fart Radio posted:

So you'd rather have her acknowledge that the neckbrace is fake, hence breaking kayfabe? You've drawn a strange line, here. You must uphold kayfabe in public, but only until someone asks you about it. Then, you must admit wrestling is fake or else you're an idiot.

He didn't challenge Puder, though. Puder is an rear end in a top hat who took advantage of a work on live television. In a fight they were both expecting, I think Angle would do better for himself.

That said, he's insane and I'm really afraid that he'll either die in the ring or kill himself in the next year or two.

Lone Rogue posted:

Except Williams was a hell of a lot older carrying a lot more weight against much better strikers and even with all that said, I'd consider Blackman's martial arts experienced much more valuable than William's amateur ability. Jack Swagger is an ALL AMERICAN AMERICAN AMERICAN but would you put him up against a guy with Blackman's credentials?

Masks provide an additional piece of merch, so I don't understand why more companies don't endorse them. Plus they're easy character. Guy sucks at promos? Give him a mask with no mouth hole. Guy looks completely generic, but is good at wrestling? Give him a colorful mask. And a cape! Wrestling also needs more capes.
