TheVileOne Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 2 hours ago, username said: This was briefly touched upon by someone else but Sasha notably made the deal with the Star Wars people without looping WWE in until it was basically a done deal. There is a chance the relative lack of promotion was due to some sour grapes over that (I wouldn't be shocked) but it could just as easily be due to no actual relationship between the Star Wars folks (i.e. Disney) and WWE management existing to set something like that up. WWE has deals set up with NBC/Universal and Fox, it is entirely possible that any promotions for things produced by a direct competitor need to be very carefully negotiated and in that case this was what they came up with or felt it wasn't worth pushing for more. FWIW no shade at Sasha for getting herself that role, respect the hustle. WWE being petty over that if that is the case is more proof of my initial thesis.

Zimbra Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 9:18 on the crossword. Also I did not know there was a move called the McGillicutter. That is inspired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just makes me chuckle to read about how much certain folks overvalue a decent wrestler/shitty promo because she calls herself “the botch.” Wait, I meant “the boss.” So in other words, you haven't grown tired of being a hater ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I remembered that people posted their times on the crossword so I bit down and felt the competitive spirit.

Casey Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't think he's a waste of time, especially with a relaunch of ROH TV being around the corner, but Wheeler YUTA is as bland as a piece of toast. Honestly liked him way better as the unwanted (by Trent) member of the Best Friends. Your daily reminder that the Best Friends are the most underrated and underutilized group in AEW and get no respect. It's basically a glorified Orange Cassidy entourage. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My great-grandfather, great-aunt, grandmother used to watch wrestling with me and my uncle when we were kids and it was funny to hear them talk about it. We watched JCP. They'd refer to the heels as "dirty men" and the good guys as "clean men". My great-aunt would always be like, "why ya'll root for them ol dirty men like Tully and Ric Flair? Why don't ya'll root for the clean men like Dusty and Wahoo? Ya'll too young to be rooting for them dirty men." And whenever someone cursed on tv, which back in those days was never worse than Dusty or Magnum saying, "damn" or "hell", my great-grandfather would say, "alright now, alright now sonny. You can't be saying that on the television!" 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
