People would complain about too much posing, but the answer is whoever is most likely to hit the bicep flex American Psycho-style. Dolph? 

There is that Amy Schumer story about Dolph.

Yeah, this isn't that interesting, ultimately. I'm happy for the worker doing what's best for them, that's all. 

However, Sid is interesting! Though not a hypothetical Sid sex tape, my goodness, why?! There's diverting the thread and then there's whatever that little thought experiment was supposed to be. 

Wrestling desperately needs the next tall dude with amazing physical charisma who only does daps, chokeslams, and powerbombs. I'll tell you that much.

Ricochet had a masturbation video up on Pornhub.

Was that one of the countless videos that PH had to pull down when they did their "hey, we need to pull all these videos because people either post stuff they don't own or it's a liability" sweep? (Yeah, I think that PH used the more popular defense to also proactively yank down all the stuff that they'd inevitably get DMCA complaints over)

Also it turned out to be a pretty reasonable move to not release Paige over the whole revenge porn dump because a more prominent WWE women's talent with a very famous father got Revenge Porned a little bit later. So releasing people because someone else stole their stuff and posted it is a bit different from OnlyFans. Allowing Brad Maddox to cum on the NXT Women's Title isn't a fireable offense under some circumstances.

Speaking of Sid, I was half paying attention to WOR the other day when they are talking about Riddle’s suspension and Alvarez said he knew of someone else who should have been suspended and wasn’t or something like that and then I swear Dave said Sid was going to get fired for failing a drug test. I’m not going back to listen to it or to try and find it, but what were they talking about?

Was that when he was in WCW or WWF?

On a side note, Sid just dipping in 1997 seems like sort of a missed opportunity. I think he was injured post-WM, but Attitude-era Sid seems like money as an upper-midcard gatekeeper. WCW main-eventer Sid was enjoyable to me at the time, but he would have fit in so much better in WWF as a spot champ/gatekeeper.

They said Sid failed a drug test before his match with Hulk Hogan before WrestleMania 8, and they still let him work WrestleMania anyway. And they let him work a European tour despite having failed a drug test.

Sid would do too much weird yelling during his sex tape. Someone like Kevin Nash would know how to do the bare minimum to get the job done.

I think the weird yelling could add to the charm of it. People watch it, they know he's eager to please, and he only has half the brain that they do. It works.

His 97 after Mania was weird. Gets squashed by Taker on Raw in a rematch not long after Mania. Gets pinned clean by Owen in a 6 man tag at KOTR, gets made to look like a total loser by his partners in the post show/magazine stuff, then turns up to back up Shawn/Shamrock/Patriot against the Hart Foundation and is never seen again.

I wish he'd stayed in ECW and given the Mike Awesome spot. And I loved his late WCW run.

He would alternate between whispering sweet nothings in his Sid voice and yelling at the top of his lungs and the whole ordeal would be confusing, terrifying, and arousing

Yelling "I am the Master and Ruler of the World" during the orgasm has it's audience. Nash would probably just lay on his back for the entirety of it and do none of the work, so if the camera is at Nash's POV, then..

Let's just say that when it comes to the pornographic arts, some people feature the guy a little too much as opposed to showing the woman. You can especially see that when it's obvious the same guy is booking his own orgasm (to put it one way)

I don't recall the exact details, but wasn't that a revenge porn situation? If so, let's not go down this road. 

Yeah I don't recall the specifics of it either and am not trying to derail the topic. Was just thinking of situations that may be comparable.

Also had no idea about a Ricochet tug video either. Wonder if it's rated 5 stars?

If your pornographic interests don't include a 7 foot man performing a sunset flip completely out of context to everything else you've just seen occur, then you're no friend of mine, friendo.

That would have been dope, yeah. 

I think Sid's underrated at doing broad heel comedy, and his WCW run proved it. The "gets his car crushed" thing with Goldberg will never not be funny.

Sid failed a drug test before the WrestleMania match with Hogan.  Instead of suspending him right away, Vince let Sid work WM then let him keep working and even sent him on the European tour.  When Sid got back from the tour, Vince decided it was finally time to suspend him.  Sid got angry and quit instead of serving his suspension. 
 

According to Dave, WWE has a history of this.  Sometimes they sit on wellness violations and suspend the guy much later when it’s more convenient to lose the guy for 30 days.

No one is the wiser knowing this information.  How you are even aware of this is incredibly hilarious.

I'm totally fine with Mandy making money from showing off her cans.  WWE fired her because she dared to profit off of her own exploitation rather than allow the WWE to continue making all of the cash off of her body..

What is the over / under for Priscilla Kelly debuting in AEW after sending Darby a make-up tweet?

So if Matt Riddle failed a drug test right before SummerSlam, why wasn't he suspended and the wellness violation announced at that time, and why was he allowed to still appear at the event?

I'm not sure how much deliberation went into the phrase "sex work" because it feels a little overly broad. Like we're pairing things that would be much more popular with some things that might be not be so popular. Then again, there's probably not much polling done on how people feel about nude modeling compared to how they feel about sex for money.
