I’ve never seen Maki Itoh do anything and I’m sure she’s a nice person and all, but all this talk of simps and what not generally makes me think she sucks.

It’s just that thing on the internet where if something is remotely good people have to outdo every other fan by talking about how amazing it is in increasingly outlandish ways.

She’s entertaining and decent in the ring is the level headed take you’re looking for.

Figuarts did some pretty nice WWE figures



The Super7 figures probably look better in hand, their stuff is generally very good so I’m going to withhold judgement until my own Okada arrives. They’re late as gently caress though, I preordered it on the 4th of January 2020 :eyepop:

Door escapes in cage matches are absolute boring bullshit 100% of the time and I’ll die on this hill.

Don’t give me that “it’s because the cage is to stop the cowardly heel running away so a face climbing over the side makes no sense” poo poo, the entire point should be that in order to win you have to beat the other guy so badly that he can’t stop you from climbing out of the cage.

I've always hated the escape poo poo

A cage match is the blowoff to a really heated feud where the wrestlers want to kill each other and you win by... fleeing? Lame

Only the heel is fleeing. The face is beating the piss out of the heel to the point that they’ve finished the job so thoroughly that the only thing left to do is walk away, like when the hero doesn’t look back at the exploding building at the end of any given action movie.

I'm on team climb out of the cage. In fact, that should be the ONLY way to win. No pinfall or DQ or going out the door. You gotta go over the top.

In that case, they'll release him one day before his contract runs out so he still gets hit with the 90-day no-compete clause.

I imagine it’s more like “end of contract date or 90 days from release whichever comes first” because that would be extra insane otherwise, even for WWE/America’s crazy employment rules.

Why?

I mean it was obviously Cult thinking. Isolate, and encourage complete dependence on the WWE machine.

But what was their stated reason for saying to an immigrant "Don't hang out with people with whom you share a language and a culture, it's bad."

Presumably so they felt even more isolated only being around people they share a second language with, and depending on how good their English is it might be even more isolating.

I respect a wrestler's hustle to turn anything into a t-shirt.

Looks like Kikutaro was deported for work visa issues?

I read somewhere he claimed he was trying to enter the US on a visa waiver to end a lease on a house he’d been living in because his work visa expired and he wasn’t planning to stay anymore, and they stopped him in Hawaii and kept him a couple days before sending him hone.

I would also like to see it but I’ve seen it posted a couple of places and so far no bastard will specify where it actually is, apparently feeling as though “it’s in Bristol” is enough to narrow it down.

Edit: Gas Lane, in St Phillips apparently. Bit out of the way for me especially in Covid times, what a tragedy.

Finally, and most importantly, Roman told the story of how Dean Ambrose became the legendary “Titty Master.”

“It originated on our second European tour. It had Big E involved as well. Big E is a big guy. Uh, a big chest on that guy there. Ambrose was wrestling him a bit during that European tour, so, it just became he’s the titty master. Dean was the master of the ring with Big E, so, uh…”

How the heck is the only website that gathers and posts these ratings somehow making 0 profit doing it?

Presumably the industry people who actually need them already get them somewhere else, so the real question is how did what seems to basically just be a fan site for tv ratings geeks stay alive so long if it costs so much to run?
