That is probably what annoys me the most in terms of writing/booking. What twisted the knife was Roman then burying both Seth and his championship without an ounce of a counter from Cody lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 is it considered irony for Rock to be around a WWE that has build a structure where the brand is the draw and not individual stars, a system they prefer so that certain stars can't easily follow the path of the Rock and bail out for movies. I mean, you don't sell 40,000-50,000 tickets before announcing a main event without it being about the brand. And if people turned their tickets in over a main event, i'd imagine the tickets would be bought by somebody else. Some online people are kinda fighting the last war here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had a couple of matches as a fill-in last year, but she looked pretty rough and didn't take many bumps. That said, she's still training folks and is an inexplicably great singer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but what do they feel pressured to wear due to the internal culture and appealing to that audience of one?

HumanChessgame Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Does the gear most of the female wrestlers wear really leave that much less to the imagination than most of the men's gear? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Funny, I’ve thought ladies gear has gotten more complex design wise but less salacious in modern times, at least compares to the Attitude/Ruthless Agression eras. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 3 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: then again, WWE is the land that hasn't figured out that they could solve the "all the movie sounds the same" thing by just attaching some sort of distinctive open to songs to remind people "hey, it's this person" The dorks (here and elsewhere, and I was definitely guilty myself) used to complain when every opening had a catchphrase or signature sound effect (like SCSA's glass or Stratus's giggle) back in the aughts, too.

Well Trish, Lita and molly used to wrestle in long pants compared all the underbutt we have today. But I would agree with your point regarding the diva search era women Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not get caught up in some kind of het-male defensive zeal and acknowledge that attactive women who are professional athletes, for fuck's sake, probably don't want to wear burkas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 remember to be specific when sending your energy towards the WM40 main event so that you don't accidentally turn the match into Heel Rock vs Face Roman Reigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 You guys have no idea how lucky we are that HHH isn't able to wrestle anymore for health reasons, as he'd 100% have inserted himself into... something.... if they felt that WrestleMania needed to be saved. Not saying he'd have taken the Rock spot but maybe the GUNTER or Seth match. I am intrigued to see if the fans turn on it like they did Goldberg/Lesnar and Batista/Yes Movement. Or even Roman/Rock at the Rumble so long ago. I don't know how much the fanbase has changed since those events happened, if fans will just go with the flow or be vocally against it at live shows. If nothing else, I do think The Rock has to be at the top of his game. He can't stumble through a bad promo or look out of place, I think one way or the other fans won't be amused if it looks like he took Cody's spot but wasn't prepared for it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 11 hours ago, Cobra Commander said: I’m sure that in the world of wrestling racial stereotypes, a Samoan has won a strap match by headbutting all four turnbuckles in succession. More seriously, a Samoan Strap Match sounds like the sort of stip that maybe has never been done but could easily be interesting if both guys were willing to strap each other. (If they’ve done a Samoan Strap Match, I’ve totally forgotten it) For some reason I’ve found bullrope matches to be more consistently interesting than strap matches. So Cody could continue the “second banana” thing by pledging to help the Rock by making sure Solo can’t interfere due to his injuries from a strap match. Before Solo interferes anyways. Or they debut Jacob Fatu despite his rap sheet. Umaga's final WWE match was billed as Samoan Strap Match, vs Punk at Extreme Rules 2009. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
