Why on earth is WWE charging a hair under $50 for house show tickets as the cheapest option?
There's this term called "mark" you see...

I'll say what I always do when people compare being a wrestler to being a porn star or stripper. Why do you have a hobby you think so little of?
It was more of a point of if you know something sucks, why would you want your kids getting in it. I mean I've heard wrestlers say directly they don't want their kids getting into the wrestling business.
Jake the Fry Cook can't afford Jake the Superstars drug habit.

What other business is as crazy as wrestling? There isn't any I've found. Shits fascinating.

I've heard Jake's story. The worst things to happen to him had nothing to do with wrestling.
Jake got into the business to spite his wrestler father. I'm sure Jake would have screwed up no matter what because of his daddy issues, but the wrestling life style did him no favors. Why you'd want your kids to get into that boggles my mind. I mean do strippers want their daughters to grow up and become strippers? Can't imagine that but we live in strange times.

Alberto Del Rio, Ayako Hamada, Bob Jr and Randy Orton, Bret and Owen Hart, Barry Windham, Brad Armstrong, Cody and Dustin Rhodes, All the Gurrerro's, Curt Henning, Dean Malenko, the Funks, Greg Valentine, Harry Smith, Negro Casas, Randy Savage, Tully Blanchard, Ted Dibiase Sr, Bray Wyatt, and The Rock all disagree.
Many of those you listed have had some very bad experiences in life directly related to wrestling.
Jake Roberts, 4/5th of the Von Erichs, and Reid Flair scream stay away.
But bigger point...you will forever live in that shadow. Men and women from all walks of life have failed under less insane legacies to follow. Might be wise to try and do something else with your life.

It makes you think: The Spawn of Lesnar?! What are THOSE kids going to be like?
Given the history of wrestlers kids, it might be wise to not try and do what your daddy did.

If he debuted at the Rumble, he would only have one day left on his old New Japan contract (given the time difference). Probably still won't happen, but... just throwing it out there. Theoretically, if his contracted ended on 1/31, he could debut on the 1/30 RAW show, and it would already be 1/31 in Japan.
Dear god lets not give the Hulkster more reasons to come out of hiding and brag about how he did it better.

How many 3 hour Raws have you gone back and watched start to finish?

But why is it a mixed tag?
Well intergender ain't right, and since it was a wide range of diversity and skill sets, I figured mixed would be a good description.

Considering ECW was one of the first really smark-heavy fanbases....
I know there were "smart" fans in the NWA era, and the southern wrestlers were more "friendly" with the fans, but who else was there?

I eagerly await the WWE debut of Senior Benjamin.
I want a Jericho/Ralphus vs Matt Hardy/Senior Benjamin mixed tag match now. Thanks.

Usually one of the parties trying to get a better deal.
How? If the terms of a signed deal become public, what is there to negotiate?

True, but if WWE made a play for him, it would likely be because of his recognition in Japan. That's a market they've been lusting after for 30 years.
It has to be longer than that doesn't it? Didn't a Japanese wrestling match get like a 70.0 rating once?
Curious about something. Every once and a while we hear about "leaked" contract details. Where are these "leaks" supposed to be coming from? The only people who should know the details would be office people and talent right? Pretty sure office would be worried about keeping a job and wouldn't risk it over something so trivial as props from internet wrestling geeks. Talent might say something, but then what's the point of saying it's a leak vs superstar X says his contract has the following details. So where is this information coming from? Someone just spinning something Meltzer said?

Journalizer Suplex as the set up for a Six Star Frog Splash.
Wouldn't that be the Jewish Frog Splash or Satanic Frog Splash, depending on how they rotate and whether or not they are circumcised?

Because everyone thinks they are right and it's fun to debate such things.

New Japan is coming to the States for two shows in July.
There in California, I'm considering going.
I'm seriously considering an east to west coast visit myself.
Is there a politifact like website about all the crap Cornette thinks? If not, there should be.

No. It's going to be very hard to top just how terrible Dixie was. That woman is gonna provide stories for a decade.
Ding dong the stupid witch has finally been deleted.

So two questions.
Can anyone point me to where we will be able to purchase those california tickets when they go on sale? That would be worth flying from coast to coast.
Is there a guide somewhere about all the cool Japanese wrestling stuff in Japan for us touristy folks? I mean if I go what else am I supposed to? Appreciate the culture?

Celebrities are people too. Who gives a fuck.

I kinda thought Shane was going to blackmail Vince with the info that Stephanie wasn't really a McMahon or something equally tasteless.
If that was where they were going with that, I'm not unhappy they scrapped the idea.
Tasteless....you call that idea tasteless. The guy wanted a storyline about screwing his own daughter. That idea was tasteless, blackmail over fake genetic results is pretty classy in comparison.

But Shane vs. Taker, by all accounts, *did* draw despite the shitty booking, just as Warrior could have been more of a draw in 98 if WCW hadn't gone all WCW about it. It's just not a good comparison.
I'd agree except for that whole WRESTLEMANIA itself being a draw factor. If it was on a B show and drew monstrous numbers, ok, but that show was going to sell no matter what the booking ways.
Now, did that match help draw in any other undeniable way.....ehhh not enough that I'd warrant saying it was worth one of takers last matches.

I know you're just trying to shit on WWE like always, but Warrior in 98 WCW could have made the company money. The issue was that they only brought him in to put Hogan over.
Don't assume son.
I was 1000% for a Warrior return. I still am. (a bit harder now-a-days) But everyone with name value tends to get big return pops. That's how that gimmick works. It does not indicate that it will draw money.
I bet Gilberg would get a pop too, but that doesn't mean he needs a mania spot.

The pop Shane got that first night was insane.
Warrior's return in WCW got an insane one too. Return pops don't really mean much.

...with the added caveat that if they like your work enough, you might end up on NXT or, who knows, even the main roster.
All this talk is quite silly.
That path has worked for how many people so far?
