Shanna isn't even a chud. A doofus, sure, and definitely someone with too much faith in the US government. But she's not anywhere in the same league as Hager and (arguably) Jericho.

Quantum of Phallus posted:She came out in support of Trump on Twitter and then deleted it. Sounds pretty chuddy to me. More specifically, she told people on Twitter not to automatically poo poo on his coronavirus treatment suggestions (which were bad) out of a genuine (and stupid) belief that every idea during a crisis is worth humoring. She was very rightfully dunked on for this because it was a dumb thing to say, but I don't think that makes her a chud.

I'd personally categorize Shanna as someone who is a bit dim and has a crazy quilt of political beliefs that all contradict each other (which describes most people, sadly) before I'd lump her in with guys like Hager, but I understand why people here don't trust her.

Mox shouting about hockey, laughing about deathmatch scars, and shooting blowguns while Nene is desperately trying to finish 20 different pies for book photos Renee would spend at least one episode setting elaborate traps all over their house to keep Jon from eating the pies before she can take pictures of them. Eventually Jon would suggest baking a gimmick pie to distract him so she can document the shoot pies without interruption.

STAC Goat posted:She's mediocre in the ring at best. She really, really connected with the Impact audience as a character, was really over when she won the Knockouts belt, and then did a lot of fun stuff with Rosemary and the Bunny stuff. She's definitely way more character than wrestler. Her first few AEW matches were really bad, but her tag matches with Brandi and singles Dark matches since the tag tournament were decent. As long as they keep her matches relatively simple and give her room to do character stuff, she's fine.

ChrisBTY posted:I sorta feel like, minus Brock Lesnar of course, Sami has the best grip on 'the grift' IRT Vince McMahon. I don't quite understand how though. Like at some point he decided he wanted WWE but didn't need WWE the way his coworkers do. Probably just shooting gas out of my rear end but he definitely seems to have a different relationship with the fed than most others. The key difference between Sami and most of his peers in the company is that Sami is outspoken and willing to stick up for himself. He had that rep on the indies well before he signed with WWE, and that's saved him from the kind of slobbering company loyalty we've seen from Ricochet.

StarkRavingMad posted:I think her medical history is the stopper more than her age. She had what was believed to be a stroke awhile back and I think it turned out to be a congenital heart defect, she had cervical cancer a couple years ago, she had some sort of knee problem (I think severe arthritis) that led to her saying she was retiring last year. From what I understand she's putting on good matches again, but there's just a lot of medical red flags that probably lead to major promotions not wanting to sign her for anything long term. Yeah, the stroke alone would make me think twice about hiring someone for a job where they're at constant risk of concussions.

harperdc posted:I love how earnest and excited so many guys sound, but both Tony Schiavone and Taz sounding so loose and upbeat is so good. Really throws years of WWE into sharp relief. It also helps that AEW commentary isn't a gapless wall of noise and fake enthusiasm. Even NXT commentary is terrible now because the desk isn't allowed to ever stop yelling and they have a billion different brand extensions to shill during every match. I don't know how people stand it. Really, the "more than one note" observation extends to the rest of AEW's product too. It's refreshing to see variance in a wrestling product and it's worth a clunker match or segment here and there for me. Everything in WWE looks and feels exactly the same, and if any match or segment rises above that flat constant it's by mistake and/or reserved for the talent Vince likes. It loving sucks and I'm glad AEW is less predictable.

I remember reading something about him being an abuser and lovely father, and I’ve seen him in a MAGA hat, maybe someone can clue me in. He has, and at least some of that is due to obvious brain damage from years of getting his unprotected head bashed into things. Not the only factor by any means, but it's a factor.
