CM punk more than anything wants to be a locker room leader like his idol, the Undertaker

The last two times he was a locker room leader:

1) he literally called himself a locker room leader and told people to clean up their trash so Booker T threw his trash on the ground in front of him
2) he told RVD “hey I’m calling a talent meeting” and RVD was like uhhhmmm

I don’t think Hogan has had a financially successful venture in a very very long time.

There was the gawker suit but that was a slam dunk.

I am begging this people to please describe what "Psychology" means in wrestling without just saying "They move really slow" or "They work the leg"

Ring psychology is a made up term made up by wrestlers who wanna act like they know what real pro wrestling is.

Circling back to the whole “:saddowns: AEW has wrestler run ins and I don’t know who they are! :saddowns:” thing:

I know Jack squat about Mina Shirakawa. All I know is she’s in Stardom and she’s popular. When she did the run in on Dynamite, I didn’t complain about who she was, I said “hey. She looks cool. I wanna see more of her.”

Done. That’s it. Why can’t people do that?

And now I’m watching Windy City Riot and I am seeing Alex Windsor for the first time. I have no idea who she is. But she looks cool. And I’d like to see more of her. It’s not complicated.

I remember trying to get my WWE fan brother-in-law to watch AEW and he said “I tried and turned it off after 30 minutes because I didn’t know who anyone was” and I was like yeah no poo poo you didn’t know who anyone was, it’s your first time watching a new product, what did you think you’d know??

He didn’t bash AEW by the way, he thought what he saw looked cool, it was just a baffling reason to turn it off to me.

wwe fans are conditioned into thinking that nothing a wrestler does outside of the WWE matters or is important. There are probably tons of WWE fans who say Giulia is one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time now specifically because she picked to sign with WWE, even if they hadn't heard her name before signing.

Which is stupid because if nothing Giulia did before she signed with WWE matters, then why is it good that she signed?

This angle is so bad you can barely see Lashley. I was wondering why they were doing such a weird looking superplex when I saw this on my feed.

Off topic but it’s wild to me that Lashley went from WWE Champion to midcard in multiman matches. I guess he’s not a Paul Levesque guy? Or is his body breaking down?

I’m gonna post a hot take here:

He’s a carny and a grifter. What else can he do? He is of no value to any territory, he doesn’t sell tickets, he has never been a part of an angle where he was the money drawing driving force, and no one is clamoring to see him. What else can a man who only knows how to grift and work heel do but be a dope on Twitter?

2) It's really bad and even worse than the Cora Jade heel turn AND her mic skills have turned into complete dogshit as well. She was never tops on the mic but at least she had some awkward babyface energy when she spoke.

Can’t wait to hear from cornette why that is different

Usually one of two things will happen:

1) Cornette won’t be able to articulate why he hates it so he’ll say something vague like “they did too much” or something.

2) Cornette will say he loved it and this is gonna be hot, and that’s just a cover for when no matter what they do next week he will say they ruined it and now it’s bad.

Bully Ray doesn't like it when the crowd are going hot as gently caress for a great match.

I mean the tweet is incorrect because he clearly said the match was fantastic and he could’ve left it at that but then he said one of the stupidest things ever.
