At least in terms of excitement and storytelling. Obviously NXT was overall better match quality, but even then outside of Johnny's match I wouldnt call the gap that big

I'm not sure if it would be more funny to see Wrestlemania's entire 60,000+ Audience start booing and never stop all the way through to Kofi's victory, or to see Trump's poll plummet for helping a black man.

Benne posted:And Del Rio is Mexican, obviously. But you're glossing over the larger point, which is that WWE has historically never given a fair shake to African-American wrestlers when it comes to giving them high-profile matches on the biggest shows. The fact that their only black world champion in history can be debatable (regardless of where you fall on the Rock debate) is damning enough. I was actually trying to be snarky more than anything. Let me try again: Of course if Donald Trump had succeeded in getting Bobby Lashley over as the new guy at Mania 23 we could had him main eventing for the last ten years, so really this is his fault!

I mean, my only differing thought on the thing was that Rock always seemed to pretty strongly de-emphasize his black identity in favor of his Samoan identity, and if that was a choice he was making I thought it was weird to be telling him what he is. Although I did certainly never like, question or deny his blackness.

Yes, the SJW Agenda will ruin AEW, just like they did Star Wars and Captain Marvel, each of which made a LITERAL billion dollars.

re: Bra and Panties matches (or more neutrally, a stripping match if you want to apply it to dudes), I remember liking them in high school not because of the sexual titlation, since I had the internet for that, but because I liked Trish and because the heels she would beat in them usually sold the embarrassment of being exposed at her hands like death even if they were wearing less for their ring gear. If you use the stip in a way similar to a hair match, I think it can have merit. Like, I could see a dude like Santino playing a match like that for great laughs. And to get away from comedy, there was an AE podcast review where Luna Vachon did a bra and panties match with Sable and threatened in her Scary Monster Voice to strip every scrap of clothing from her body and leave her brutalized and exposed to the world. It wasn't titalating, it was horrifying. I remember they even did something like that with god drat Triple H one time during the Evolution era, having some lower card wrestler snatch off a towel he was wearing out on the Tron stage and having him sell it like the most embarrassing thing in his entire life even though he wrestles in tiny trunks and was the most ripped man alive. It worked really well, he was the exact kind of heel you want to see completely humiliated like that. It was funny AND it felt like serious comeuppance for him because it was a direct blow to the heart of his heel character.

The Rhea match was OK, but the first half of it dragged and was not good, and the second half I thought had some pretty notable flaws even aside from the obvious wrong ending. It was not blown away.

I honestly did not think of it until I saw Alvarez's tweet, I thought it was just a cool spot to show that Orton is a psycho. The weight room brawl was the best segment of the match IMO.

This would certainly explain how Gedo won booker of the year for all those years even as WWE Wrestlers will still raking up trophies in individual categories over New Japan Wrestlers. ...oh wait, no, what's the opposite of explaining something?

Lol at Booker saying "Who gives a drat about the Ice Cream Bars," as if that wasn't one of the biggest pops in the promo and wasn't all over social media and news reports for days after. He wants to talk about cheap pops naming landmarks as the way to go and then poo poo on the ice cream?
