Hopefully he owns the poo poo out of Roman Reigns Nah, he wrestled like maybe 5 matches. Beat Brock in a minute at Survivor Series, appeared in the Rumble and eliminated Brock, beat Owens for the title at the February show, and then lost to Brock in a pretty good match at Wrestlemania that was like 11 moves in 6 minutes, bit goddamn it worked well.

I have no real life friends who give a poo poo about professional wrestling, so this is basically the only place I have to express these feelings, but I really feel the need to express them.

I really can't wait for Vince McMahon to die because I don't give a poo poo about the actual wrasslin' but the business side of WWE is goddam fascinating but we're not going to be able to get the real dirt until he's dead. The fact that despite being such a huge business with such strict exclusivity/non-compete clauses he makes all the wrestlers declare themselves independent contractors that don't get health insurance, have to file their own taxes in every state, and even provide their own transportation is so amazingly petty and is also a big part of why so many wrestlers die young and/or go crazy. Like, even a corrupt meat grinder like the NFL at least gives you a pension.

Vince is really reluctant to do anything for talent relations unless he's forced to react to it Nocompete clauses were because of the WCW poaching. Drug testing was because of Guerrero and Benoit. No pension? There's no union. No union? It turns out that tying pay to reward people who draw the most fans to the show spawned an industry of paranoid fuckers that would kill unionization attempt because it would hurt them. Independent contractors? No one had managed to get a lawsuit in front of the courts to force the matter.

Schweinhund posted:Just a little life advice. If you're not a little kid and still follow wrestling, you should keep that a secret, or anyone who finds out will instantly lose all respect for you. Here's a trick you can use: If you're watching wrestling on TV and someone walks in on you, you can say "Oh I was just admiring the muscular bodies of those sweaty near naked men" then change the channel and make a comment about how dumb wrestling is. Anyone else have any tips? When my parents walk in I just fast forward to the women's matches and pretend like I was cranking off

Here's another tip. If you ever want to discuss wrestling online, go on craigslist and buy a cheap used laptop. Encrypt the system drive. Then sign up for a VPN using bitcoin and log onto it. Then install Tor Browser and sign onto your favorite wrestling forum using a fake name and post whatever you want. When you're finished, drop the laptop into a vat of industrial grade hydrochloric acid. Now no one can trace your posts about wrestling back to you and you can go back to your regular life without fear.

The best wrestlemania was X8. Stacked card, everyone wasn't over the hill. After that everyone got too old and now it's all no name losers and not worth watching.

I refuse to let this thread die with the Rabid Wolverine as the final chapter. We should be talking about the man who's better than the best, OH YEAH! I get the feeling Randy Savage was on acid for every one of his promos, but he still fuckin' rules. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OWqcqaNCIc "It happened so fast, ya can't even talk about it!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOPBw41LR8s "I think I'm more SPUNKY THAN I USED TO BE!

There's a podcast that Chris Jericho did with Nancy Benoit's sister discussing the matter. She was the family nanny and one of the first people who discovered what happened. It's one of the few times she's ever spoken publicly about the entire tragedy. It's utterly heartbreaking
