DarkstarIV posted:Yeah, I talked about how bad the Rhea/Asuka match was from last night, but only just now found a small video clip of how bad it got at parts. *Main roster exposure. If you flub a spot, you're expected to go back to it because you can't improvise on the main roster, and you got to rehearse in NXT. *Possible COVID exposure, which is the same reason why great wrestlers have looked like poo poo. AEW wrestlers admit that they had it, you only hear about it from WWE wrestlers because of third parties. *The fact that she hasn't had more than 4 matches a week since Feubrary 2020, still a relative rookie, and most months she only had one or two matches. There are no house shows. Blame the WWE, not the performers either way e: Beaten to the point, whatever Rhea's reason for being gassed was it's because she has to follow the script that it looked so sloppy.

It's full of bitter, spiteful people in management who will make you miserable just for getting over the wrong way.

Chris Hero and the Authors of Pain still haven't showed up anywhere so far. Andrade was supposed to have been freed without a non-compete clause, I get the impression that people are only getting released again because Vince knows it's harder to travel internationally or for indies to run shows now. My selfish wish is that the unsigned 2020/2021 releases go to CyberFight. Hero, Joe, and AoP would be awesome in NOAH and The Iiconics would be awesome in TJPW, Bo Dallas would be great in Gabare Pro. Sombra, Samuray del Sol and Thea Trinidad vs Eruption

Apollo is going all in on this gimmick which made me realize for the first time he has such a strong voice and ability to deliver an aggressive promo, I don't even think his accent is offensive, it's just....Everything else about the gimmick, especially because it's happening in the WWE which has a long history of racism. Like someone either just saw Black Panther, Resident Evil 5, or the Ugandan Knuckles meme and gave it to Apollo

I'm pretty sure two millionaires who live in a modest home where they grow most of their own food are really going to be missing that WWE money. I don't know why Daniel Bryan stays in the WWE, he claims to love wrestling but the WWE isn't wrestling  Has there been anyone from the last two years that either left or got fired that regrets not staying with the WWE? Almost everyone that leaves seems to be so much happier and didn't realize they were in a cult-like environment until they finally spent time away from the company.

Lumbermouth posted:“it’s aleister black” I used to think most of CFO$ songs were just really bad knockoffs of other songs. The the new guys come along and everything is just unintelligible ear poison. There's three people with basically the same song (Bayley, Rollins, and Roman) with a similar opening as Baron Corbin's new-old bad theme.

Going to guess that Randy Savage is going to be the worst of it and they didn't even hit on the worst parts of Savage like Dark Side of the Ring did. They're WWE fluff pieces, Vince was involved. Warrior might be second worst because the WWE already produced a hit piece on Warrior, but they're playing nice for the Warrior Award

Quantum of Phallus posted:who's this, why is everyone laughing, serious quesiton Her last gimmick in the WWE was being bad at wrestling and every week she would find an excuse not to wrestle, so she'd come out, her top would fall off, and she's run to the back. I have no idea who this was supposed to be getting over or why. I think she admitted to hating wrestling and ended up trying to get into professional modeling/acting. I'm guessing it either didn't work out or since Johnny Ace is back, they backed a lot of money into her driveway. They fired four talented women that were actually over recently (Mickie James, Chelsea Green, and The Iiconics.)

NXT is so painful to me because they've simultaneously got some of the best and some of the worst characters in wrestling so the average show is just not worth watching. I'll check clips of the things I like, but it doesn't feel must-see for me anymore.

Flair was also the person who leaked that Asuka was not only married, but had a child. Nobody had even knew she was married because she tended to keep her personal life very private

If I'm not mistaken Kairi went back to Japan, because a "WWE Brand Ambassador" and when she asked to work with Stardom (I think it was them?) she got told no, because she's still a WWE talent. They have absolutely killed that poor girl's love of wrestling. How could anyone hate Kairi?

I was over at a friend's house and I caught the tail-end of the PPV starting with Lashley retaining and Roman retaining. Those were foregone conclusions. Then I saw Bryan & Vinny reviewing the lumberjack match. I thought maybe Bryan was over-reacting but I watched the clips ITT and it's worse than I thought it'd be. Then I watched the full match and it was even worse than Bryan and the clips made it out to be. I will unironically defend the Dexter Lumis vs Cameron Grimes cinematic zombie match because it was tongue in cheek but The Miz vs Damien Priest was just the worst.

At Wrestlemania this year they dubbed in crowd effects. They're supposed to be going back on the road before Summerslam for live shows. I'm genuinely curious as to whether the people showing up are going to be regular wrestling fans, smarks, or WWE Lifers. I kind of expect that for the first couple months they're going to just do what they did at WM and pipe in cheers and boos over the live audience to fall in line with who Vince thinks are the stars. If Vince had his way there wouldn't have been a Kofimania, Beckey Lynch, Daniel Bryan, or CM Punk hijacking his shows.
