I might be giving him too much credit, but it seemed to me like Chris Regal was mocking the South African guy who was saying coloured for his countries weird, out of date stance on race.

While that guy sounds insufferable, at the ROH show I went to here in Minneapolis a couple months ago we had an entire section of the crowd that was worse than him. I'm pretty sure it was basically friends and family of ODB, as they all left immediately after her match. There was one guy who looked EXACTLY like Ray Wise from Robocop, but it was his friend who was the annoying one. Basically every time anyone did anything he would go "oh yeah I'm sure that hurt ha ha ha ha it's FAKE." And then his friend and their wives would all laugh.

That section leaving (it was about 30 people, with that guy being the worst of it) actually got a pop when they all filed out because everyone on either side of them just loving hated them. They didn't come back to the event a couple weeks ago, at least not in force like that first time.

I kind of agree Rousey should only continue to fight for a limited amount of time and then try to get into show business or something else. There's not really anyone on her level for fighting, some idiot could always get lucky and drop her, and spending a long career fighting is tough on your body.

A long career really isn't how that always works. It comes down to ring time, from what I understand. If Ronda can keep knocking people out or making them tap in less than thirty seconds, hardly taking any hits herself, she could conceivably keep going for a long, long time.

If theres one thing I appreciate, it's that Mark Henry has become WWE's ubermensch, evolved beyond the concepts of good and evil because, one assumes, his morality is so totally alien to our own.

I wanna see Henry do the Yog Sothoth gimmick.

Like if Randy is your standard for "most boring wrestler to ever live" I think you'd probably go catatonic at watching wrestling that didn't have workrate as good as modern WWE has.

I thought the hyperbole was pretty obvious there, but let's try again:

I find Randy Orton incredibly boring to watch, and him being on the pre-show is right where I think he should be so I don't have to bother fast forwarding through his slow, boring matches every PPV.

WWE also stole that thing from TNA where they took Sting from a big deal main attraction to just another guy.

No way, they took Sting from being a big deal main attraction to being dead. That's totally different.

Me and a couple buddies were the first ones at the last ROH event in our town a while back. We got the Young Bucks autographs/pictures, and then ended up just shooting the poo poo with AJ Styles for a while, as he was waiting for people to file in to come to his table, and the Bucks were the main draw this time around as they weren't here last time and he was. Anyway, TNA came up briefly and his thoughts on it were basically "gently caress TNA."

The WWE Network has nothing to do with ratings. DVR views before midnight are counted in same day ratings, views after are counted in later reports and are significantly less valuable (due to the ability to commercial skip.) Ratings are based off sampling and an accurate sample is better for judging a population than counting every single person.

That's what he's saying though. Although the WWE Network is a bad example because you can't watch stuff on the same night/as it airs. But I think Nielsen has been expanding into monitoring streaming stuff as well.

Low Desert Punk posted:

It's kind of difficult to do a review of a twenty minute pro wrestling match without talking about major spots and the finish, unless the depth of your analysis is "good match ****1/4"

You could absolutely do this, though. Very easily. Just a "if you just want the score here it is, full review after the page break." Lots of places do this for other things, from movies to video games. It's not that much of an ask for narrative fiction. You can even do a full paragraph without spoilers and specifics. "The storytelling was good, but the selling wasn't quite what it should have been. Here's how the crowd reacted. There's a big moment halfway through. Strong finish. Full review after page break, 3 stars." I honestly don't think it's that unreasonable.
