Stefanie Sparkleface Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Eh. I took HHH's initial comments as a general cranky old man "these kids today" comment that could apply to literally dozens of people. He basically threw a rock into a pack of dogs and one of them yelped. If he felt that it was about him, okay, fine, but you could take that to any other wrestler who they were in talks with but was hesitant based on the schedule or potential relocation or any other thing HHH meant by "the grind". Also, Will Ospreay's the same guy who got a sexual abuse victim blackballed for trying to stick up for herself because said abuser was his buddy, so I have a hard time feeling bad for him. If anything, I feel bad for Alex Windsor for being with the knucklehead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 It really would be Mone in the middle for her debut to be as a special referee (although I guess if she's not cleared to wrestle, being cleared to referee might not be easy either, especially since it would be lighting money on fire if she got hurt as a guest ref) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I take it all of those are not pictures as seniors and just ones they could find. Zenk looks like fucking McLovin in his picture while Brady Boone and Nikita look like 25 going on 35. Nord either could be 17/18 or 23. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 If the artist in question wasn't "cancelled", there could be room for a T-shirt in wrestling with "I Don't See Nothing Wrong With a Little Bump N Grind". Matter of fact, surprised that there wasn't a PWG event titled that. 9 minutes ago, Raziel said: Nikita straight up looks like a dude I went to High School and was on the wrestling team with. Just with more hair. ...Did he talk like Nikita? Especially being on the wrestling team. I am just picturing a guy looking and built like Aleksandr Karelin tossing people around like little children but with a ridiculous, over the top phony accent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietShooter Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 11 hours ago, Stefanie Sparkleface said: To your point, hardly anyone is working a work every day schedule anymore anyway. The most anyone worked in 2023 (per Cagematch, anyway), was Fuminori Abe with 224 matches, then after that you have a glut of Dragon Gate folks at 170ish Cagematch doesn't do a good job gathering info on shows in Mexico. From Luchablog: Quote There were 50 wrestlers were recorded as having at least 100 matches. (Stephanie Vaquer and Blue Rocket Jr. from Torreon came in at exactly 100 matches.) That’s up from 42 last year. 10 wrestlers had 150 or more matches: 196 Mistico 171 Jessy Ventura 165 Panterita/Mascara Dorada 162 Pig Destroyer 161 Volador Jr. 159 Ultimo Guerrero 158 Pig Destructor 158 Diva Salvaje 157 Atlantis Jr. 153 La Fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 22 hours ago, Elsalvajeloco said: Yeah, you carefully select one wrestler anything sounds suspect. Shit, Dom has 29 matches this year. He is clearly the high number. He is probably above and beyond any wrestler anywhere. Everyone else checking several people has between 10 to 20 ish. You may not believe this but I legit only looked up one WWE guy and one AEW guy, based on who generally seems to be wrestling the most. If I happened to guess the person who worked the most for each company then... well then I watch too much wrestling but that's neither here nor there. If anything that means my feel is probably about right, that the typical WWE guy in a given spot is working a bit more than the equivalent in AEW. Neither of them are working the old WWE schedule thank god (or a current lucha schedule apparently), but the AEW guys who aren't working a bunch of indies are working a bit less and that's fine. That said... since the comparison was brought up before and it seemed fair I looked up Rollins and in 2023 he worked just over a hundred matches, if Ospreay hits that number in a year in AEW even working the occasional NJPW show I will gladly say I'm completely wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's either a reward or punishment. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Luchablog: Without Googling it, Vaquer has wrestled against or with Lluvia, La Catalina, and Zeuxis like a billion times. She is also flying back and forth between countries every week and also between Mexico City and Guadalajara. She also wrestled AZM tonight at Windy City Riot. She is absolutely killing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that's attempting to counter program AEW, wonder if those air on Peacock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
