MJeff posted:Becky knew Kairi was injured and was trying really hard to protect her and there was a point shortly after that power bomb where she and Asuka talked to each other and pretty clearly decided "dude, we've gotta go to the finish." That match was the moment I lost any and all respect for Charlotte, and why I will never have any for her again barring some kind of miraculous and dramatic actions. I would probably also have lost respect for the WWE for not punishing her, but it's hard to lose what you don't have.

MJeff posted:I dunno. I find the idea that the Pensecola cops have a hard on for this guy more plausible than the idea that he was fall over drunk and didn't just call an Uber or his wife. I mean I get it. The idea that someone would drive while blind drunk and risk their own life and the lives of everyone else on the round is hard to believe, because most of us aren't that selfish and inconsiderate. But it still happens all the time, and it doesn't need to be a cop conspiracy. Especially not when the same dude keeps doing it over and over again. gently caress all drunk drivers.

MJeff posted:That's the thing, though. The pattern here is shaky as gently caress, the last one basically got punted to Jupiter the second it saw the inside of a court room. After some digging the 2019 arrest led to a not guilty because Uso never took a field sobriety test for whatever reason. It could be because he wasn't actually drunk so the cops didn't want him to take one and prove that, it could be because the cop hosed up or a bunch of other reasons. Noted lovely rag TMZ have the dash cam footage from his arrest and while of course it's hard to say anything conclusive, he DOES seem to be wasted and driving like it. Of couse it's impossible to say for sure what actually happened but it SEEMS less like "cops doing cop things to people of colour, jury calling them out on it for once" and more like "cop fucks up procedure, loses conviction as a result". https://www.tmz.com/2019/10/25/jimmy-uso-dui-arrest-video-swerving-wwe-florida/

DeepDickPizza posted:This holier-than-thou, I'm above that, also, I've never had a drink in my life and also maybe he did it because he's cheating on his wife poo poo. Maybe the explanation is the incredibly straightforward alcohol impairs your judgment and the man has a drinking problem. How hard is it to say, "goddamn, this sucks, I hope he gets his poo poo together" without becoming a bunch of freaks calling for the head of a guy who, to the best of my knowledge, is generally well-regarded outside of his drinking problem? Yeah look at me go, I'm the holier-than-thou freak who dared suggest people who repeatedly drink and drive while completely loving wasted are selfish and inconsiderate. I hoped I would never show my rear end this thoroughly but here we are.

KungFu Grip posted:wrestling always has dumb feuds over silly things. aew had miro feuding over video games and jericho feuding with orange cassidy about orange juice and bubbly, new japan just had a feud over the iron fingers from hell. it happens. Sure, but unlike ... almost anything ... on WWE TV right now, at least 2/3 of those feuds were fun. I have not seen the NJPW stuff. I'm sure back in the day before Vince went fully senile the WWE also told entertaining stories and put on fun feuds based on silly stuff.

punchdaily posted:The thing about the TJPW titles is that they look cheap as poo poo, the absolute least amount of money you can spend on a belt and still have it look presentable - it even looks like they might be secured to the strap with glue. But they have strong, thematic designs so they look cool, so none of that matters. It's wrestling, the whole point is that poo poo only has to LOOK cool. drat right. I'm not making GBS threads on the TJPW belt, I'm just saying that even a promotion with MUCH MUCH LESS MONEY and resources are out there making cool and inventive belts. And not corporate logos on velcro.

When they showed that rooftop set on Wrestlecrap, my immediate thought was that you couldn't pay me enough to get tossed onto the lower level. It looks very much like that crash mat is very close to the edge of the actual roof, and the barrier isn't much higher than the pad itself. Would I want to get thrown there at speed by some dude with zero safety training, especially knowing the WWE probably didn't give a flying rat's rear end about safety either?  Nope!

A talking coyote posted:He’s not actually throwing them though? Mysterio and Black are doing all the work. He’s just moving them toward the wall and they jump flip over it. You know, like all flips in wrestling. The selling was so amazing I was 100% fooled. No but seriously the point still stands. Look at that landing pad, it's almost level with the edge barrier. I would not want to do a horizontal landing on that thing because it feels like there's a very real danger of sliding or skipping off and then going over the edge. And I have zero faith in the WWE doing any kind of proper safety work beyond that, because... the WWE.

Reading Jon Moxley's Wikipedia article is a trip.quote:He decided to leave WWE after Vince McMahon made him give a promo on Raw where his character would get inoculated from various diseases out of fear of catching a virus from the fans. Good felt after this segment that his character was irreparably damaged. He left WWE citing the cause as mental and emotional exhaustion after six years of explaining to McMahon how his ideas for Good's character were "stupid". Due to McMahon's control over the company, Good had to follow McMahon's writing, which left him unhappy. Good came to dread promos, which were previously his favorite part of performing as a wrestler, to the point of feeling physically ill. His experience was corroborated by both Jericho and various anonymous WWE wrestlers and staff.
