I think doing a show from a Beach or Cruiseship like one of those Spring Break Nitros or early 90's Bash at the Beach could be fun. At least it would be visually different than the performance center which I thin we are all sick of

I remember a couple of ideas that seemed to become a board group think. One was that punches and stalling where better that MOVEZ!!! the other (and this seemed to be very self loathing at the time) is that wrestlings target audience was gays, children and the mentally handicapped

The constant finisher spamming nowadays bugs me as well

How is that currently translating to the popularity of WWE though?
I don't know but despite all the talk about WWE rating being in free fall, wrestling seems relevant as its been since the attitude era. I feel like I see more people talking about it on social media, wrestling being covered on ESPN and television, The Miz having a couple of TV shows. It FEELS cool and popular, and I seem to know more people into it, yet the numbers don't reflect that

ECW in 95 felt grunge while mid 90's WWF felt stuck on hair metal with all the Neon New Generation stuff. Austin was WWF getting caught up with the times. Russo had a ton of bad ideas but I do feel he deserves some credit for getting Vince out of the 80's

The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling. If you are interested in seeing the story told as a graphic novel. Also a few years ago Cary Elwes wrote a behind the scense of The Princess Bride called "As You Wish", some really fun Andre stories in that

My friend and I were talking about Raven earlier, and about how perfect his look and character were for the mid-90's. That got me thinking, what are some of the most zeitgeist-defining looks or gimmicks in wrestling history. I suppose you'd have to mention Hogan in the 80's. When two of the biggest stars in Hollywood were Schwarzenegger and Stallone, the WWF had their very own version with Hulk. Nowadays, even though the gimmick is at least 6 years old at this point, I don't think anyone has a more contemporary look than Sasha Banks.
Dusty in the 70's with the crazy pimp clothes, also Flair as a rich asshole in the 80's. Crow Sting was a good representation of 90's where people had a lot less trust of the government and institutions. Sasha is a good choice, but I think theirs a number of people who are good today. Aleister Black looks like someone you'd see at a Marduk or Watain show. Auska and Kairi Sane both seem relevant with how people are into anime and jpop culture. This is one area where I feel the WWE is doing well having relevant gimmicks/ characters

I remember JR seemingly getting legit pissed at Lawler "YES ITS WRESTLEMAINIA YOU'VE SAID THAT THREE TIMES!!!". Love HHH busting out the indian death lock and Book busting out the Harlem Hangover.I felt the the whole point of the angle was to push the racism just far enough that they could still denie it.

I've always thought that Load/Reload would have been received a lot more warmly if they weren't done by Metallica.
I agree but I also think theres just too much material. theres a solid one hour album between the 2 and half hours they released

Also Honorable mention to the blood just flowing off Austins face during the submission match

One thing I've seen is that immediately after the Joey Ryan stuff came out Joey Janela said its all true. People seem to think that Janela knew about Joey Ryan and Teddy Hart and looked the other way while booking them

So these age of consent and marriage laws. Are these cases of states being too lazy to make the changes? Or were they being brought up and argued as something that needed to be changed, but no one did for fuck knows what reason?
I know that there where extremely Conservative christian home-schooling movements that where opposed to this> Basically wanting girls to get married as young as possible, same people who are really into purity balls ect. Same groups are the reason the US has not ratified the UN rights of the child

That’s also like 1 minute out of 30 on the subject. Who is he not talking about?
Edit: maybe ospreay and scurll? I guess I haven’t heard them really mentioned. Not that I think it’s nefarious.
The in the business but not makes me think of The Cornettes

JIm Cornette's response...if you want to listen to a him cut essentially a one hour promo on his sex life

I always felt that they should have just made that match No DQ instead of a ridiculously long ref bump. Still one of my favorite Taker wrestlemainia matches

One thing about redemption, doing your debit to society ect. in regards to Kobe, Tyson, ect. is that some people feel that rape, sexual assault, child abuse are things that you don't get to come back from. You shouldn't get to be treated like a star after something like that.

In response to these allegations, Impact Wrestling's parent company, Anthem Sports & Entertainment, released the following statement:
"It is a core value of the Anthem organization that we conduct our business with respect and integrity, providing a safe and secure work environment for our employees and performers. We are following carefully the various allegations being made through social media, and are reviewing all incidents involving Impact Wrestling talent and personnel to determine an appropriate course of action."

I would imagine any backstage/lockerroom area in a VFW hall if pretty makeshift
Apparently she's talking about her relationship with MLWs Douglas James

I always like when Regal would use the Union Jack/ Regal Cutter as a set up for the regal stretch. I'm a sucker for a good combo finisher
