That's right Ringo. I've said wrestling reminds me of shonen Manga or anime.

Don't watch the tv besides the ppv but i remember she used to just be a generic white meat babyface(?) Might have been a heel turn and a team with either Blair davenport or the witches that were called up to the main roster because ronda didn't want to work nxt to unify the womens tag titles. Then she had a Mickie james obsessed stalker gimmick with Lyra or roxanne that lead to this??

why wouldnt it. as kota ibushi said, pro wrestling is dragon ball but real. what I mean is the target audience of those is all the same, unlike a pg movie compared to an r rated movie.

Idk maybe. While the aew wrestling feels like a fusion of ECW (from the couple of clips i watched) and old territory wrestling, the promos give the impression they want to be the rated R WWE. Which makes me go "this is a bit much" like with what I've seen of the house of black.

I think I personally prefer the goofier promos better. I think this is what appealed to me about the Rock stuff. It bumped WWE from PG to PG-13.

This storyline specifically was very cw Archie like since you said you like cw stuff

Yeah she has had ti obsessed stalker thing for 2 different wrestlers I guess, but it was revealed it isn't the person she is obsessed with, but the nxt women's belt.

She is essentially Hot Gollum now

They’re gonna come at you for this but you’re doing the lord’s work. I need to hear about all the wwe side shows. If they still air WWE Superstars I need your takes on it. I need you to watch old episodes of Velocity.

They don't as far as i know. It seems to be just the 3 shows. Main event is only 15ish minutes of watching each week if you fast forward all of the recap stuff.

I've been thinking about cutting it out along with rampage

All the NXT workers crying about Meltzer on Twitter is no different than TK airing the Punk footage, just screaming into the ether about a guy who got you shook. Looks bush league every time they have to rush to defend Maxine Dupri or Tatum Paxley for the crime of being boring

They did a cross over with Arrow years ago and Stephen Amell, who is just a Jared Padalecki, is decent in the ring. You're late.

I had some serious health problems early this year and haven't been working since. I rest, smoke some weed, watch movies, work on my garden and play Yakuza games and even I don't have the time to consume that much wrestling.
