  1. Given the fact that Emma gets bookings and a ROH contract and the fact that Sasha is much better known, I think Sasha will do pretty well for herself. Let's be honest, the WWE women's division is not booked on talent. Far from it. The booking revolves around name and television shows first, talent a distant second.
  2. With a lot of guys going indy and trying to hook onto the US and Japan gravy trains we might see some changes over the next few years. Things are changing but moving at a glacial pace. As for CMLL, I have worked in a lot of family businesses and the way they operate is no different than any other family business.
  3. I would be more excited if the actual wrestling was better. You watch Lucha and Japan then come back to WWE and are like 'WTF?' Well done. Now watch your anxiety level drop once the withdrawal is over. You are a better person for it.
  4. Because they have to build Braun up to be a huge monster face so that when he cashes in the crowd is hot. It makes no sense to hot shot the belt onto someone who is still relatively green just for pops and ratings. Oh, hi Ronda.
  5. Jarret is because of family connections which go way back. It is complicated. I am sure he was the one pulling strings to get AAA into Impact before he left to enter rehab. It looks like AAA is helping him out here. Since they are working with Impact it makes sense to have some Impact guys on the card. It is like Wrestlemania, everyone on the roster wants to be on the biggest card of the year so they cram it full of multi-person matches. Here is the card from Wikipedia, before it gets pulled down because wrestling is rigged and you cannot believe any of it so the card and moves cannot be verified because of the 'integrity of wikipedia.' Triplemania 26 wiki I have more of a problem with El Patron being on the card. Like WTF? I know they are close as well but he has not been on tv at all. Faby and Shani should be a great match. Same for OGT and MAD. I am interested to see who gets the Mixed Tag Titles.
  6. LOL. I remember when they ran a contest in the FYAD section of SomethingAwful for best fake edits. Integrity of Wikipedia. LOL.
  7. ^^^ Looks like they found a way to copy Ponder vs. OGT without getting either team into TNA. Probably something to do with Reddit or Wreddit because why not?
  8. Which pretty much sums up every Twitter blowup in a nutshell. The first category is dwarfed by the other two.
  9. Maybe this is all just a smoke screen to distract us from TNA being TNA once again. Jeff Jarrett is suing Impact’s parent company, officially making their reunion one of the worst in wrestling history
  10. On Cinema’s Gregg Turkington Speaks Out on the New ‘Popular Film’ Oscars Category -------- Let's see who gets this.
  11. Apparently, yes. She was in the ROH tournament. Did an Australia/NZ tour. She is getting calls for bookings. I don't think the WWE wants to let anyone go given the strength of indy wrestling right now. When they were the only game in town, they could hold it over wrestler's heads. Not that way anymore.
  12. I think the big problem is the appearances clause or whatever they call it for doing house shows. Everyone busts ass to clear it out early in case they get injured. They would have to rework everyone's contract which I doubt they want to do. With ROH, Impact, and Indy wrestling being so hot they don't want to let anyone go lest they create another Cody or Emma so they would rather let them sit.
  13. Wellness Violation How many slaps on the wrist has Orton had in his career?
  14. Vince: I don't get this guy. Aerostar. What is his gimmick? Why does he wear a mask? How do I sell merchandise for a guy who wears a mask? Random WWE Employee: Aerostar is supposed to be from outer space. He does a lot of top rope and high flying moves. You could say he lives his gimmick. Vince: This guy, Drago. What is he supposed to be? Again, a mask!!! How do you market that? RWWEE: Dragon is supposed to be half-man and half-dragon. His mask and outfit is the gimmick. Vince: How do you merchandise him? Look at Randy Orton. He is a douchbag heel. He literally lives his gimmick and I can market that. Steph. HHH. Give Randy a heel push. I love and understand that gimmick. Give Randy a new shirt. That sells. Shirt's sell. Can I do a dragon shirt or a UFO shirt? Nope. A mask? Who buys a mask?
  15. Ronda and the Bellas will be at the top of the card for name recognition. Steph will insert herself somewhere near the top because she is Steph.
  16. Someone is going to either die or get seriously injured soon in the ring.
  17. Heyman has nothing to do so they could put Penta and Fenix with him as a manager. The moment they get over they will be depushed and given crappy merchandise because they have to push Reigns.
  18. In the Usenet days, there was no option to monetize so those opinions were looked at as people just trolling to get others all stirred up. Today, you pay to have your views blasted all over the Internet. In terms of isolating yourself online, I just tell Apple News to send me less of certain content. I can tell them I don't want to see stuff from fake news sites and set notifications to see more of things that matter to me. I don't see it as isolation. I see it as using the tools available in the way they were meant to be used. Google does not give two sheets, they just send you everything even if you tell them no. Same with Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook. It all comes down to the color of money. Look at Google who happily took money to place anti-LGBT ads in LGBT content and suppress LGBT channels during Pride. They apologized at the end of the month when they were done taking everyone's money. They will do the same for everyone. They don't care about either side or causes, all they care about is the color of money, they don't care where it comes from. Sorry to be so cynical but it is the reality of today. I don't allow a faceless algorithm to control me. The best way to combat the paid content is not to view it so the content ends up screaming into the void. Those sites will not crack down on the paid content unless forced because it means decreasing social media metrics and lower ad revenue. Look at Facebook yesterday which sad it would focus more on privacy at the expense of ad revenue. 20% drop in the stock price. Guess what will happen today inside of Facebook? A new push to increase advertising at the expense of privacy so that the stock price can get going again.
  19. Here is the big problem with refuting the points. Unless you are paying for people or bots to back you up you are more than likely to be screaming into the void. Very few people will listen and you get low visibility. It sucks, but that is the way social media works today. You pay for visibility. You pay for retweets by bots. Yes, it is cynical but that is the way all platforms work in order to bring revenue into the platform. Sure you feel good when you get the rush from hitting send, ok, or tweet but in the end it does very little except to ease the anxiety.
  20. With the exception of Blade's mother, I believe every Vampire in charge was white. There are so many little nods all throughout the movie to race. The white ruling Vampires in Blade sent police officers to take out the black Vampire hunter trying to take down the white patriarchy. How many people got those little nods. Without saying it, those nods were in front of you the whole time during the movie.
  21. Said vampire hunter is black and the vampires are almost all white.
