NOVEMBER 2015 ANIMATED GIF THREAD


RIPPA

Recommended Posts

Any chance the guy wearing the black t-shirt in the crowd clapping for Sasha in that gif posts on this board?

 

No need to identify yourself if you do, but please don't stand up in the middle of a match when nobody in the rows in front of you is standing...and then just read from your phone.  That was pretty rude.  Otherwise, you seemed like a good guy.

Also where do you put in an application for that job?  I can stand there looking intimidating.  Would it be frowned upon if I tried to holla at Sasha?

She doesn't look like a star to me, she looks like she escaped from Worldstar. I looked into some of her work, and I'm still not seeing anything beyond an extremely athletic tiny woman who looks like one good face punch would crumble her. The more and more I watch that clip I'm reminded of some of the wannabe's I've meet in my life. Guys that could purchase the "I'm a star" act for the night going out in the club, but weren't actually stars.

 

If the best heel moment of the year was just cheap heat, no wonder people aren't watching anymore.

 

Hey if she's working and making money for herself and the fed, good. But I'm just not digging it.

 

I know I'm just falling into this trap, but I wonder if you are a fan of Duke Droese, TL Hopper and Damien Demento.  When a wrestler is universally praised as a star and a game changer by people who's opinions matter like Triple H, Steve Austin, Jim Ross, wrestling journalists, etc as well as the wrestling community as a whole, that means that is exactly what she is.  When you say the opposite of that, you are wrong.  Btw, I don't think you understand the definition of cheap heat.

 

 

So any opinion other than the masses is incorrect...and this place is different than Reddit again because..... The only people I've heard gush about her are online. I am unaware of anyone else praising her. If I said Baley looks like a star would that change anything? Damien Demento looked different and way more appealing than Sparky Plugg ever did.

 

Cheap heat was something that could be easily done with little effort that always got a reaction; saying the home town, beating up the old lady, waving the flag, or screwing with kids.

So you don't like her because she's your perception of 'ghetto' which you've based on looking at a vlog.

 

You've said more about yourself than you realize.

 

 

If I had said fake ass rappers who's acts don't match their realities, would it have sounded better?

 

 

The more I watch the more I come to same conclusion, she plays pro-wrestling really well, but it doesn't work for me. It reminds me of a 6'9 guy doing ballet, something just doesn't fit right. If it works for you guys, good for you then.

The problem is that you've labeled her based on some warped reality that you saw on the internet.  If you don't like her, fine.  I'm not as big of a fan as many here.  But I'm also not categorizing her in a demeaning way.

Your opinion that she is nothing special is incorrect if the overwhelming majority disagrees with you, which by definition makes her special.  You might not like her or dig her or whatever but you can't say she is nothing special when she clearly is in the eyes of people who's job it is to know.  You started off by saying you don't understand what all the fuss is about even though you haven't seen her wrestle, which should have immediately cause me to ignore you.  Oh well.  I suppose all those people at every show that are chanting "We Want Sasha" are just online marks. 

 

Long story short, you originally presented your opinion of her abilities as a fact instead of an opinion, which was of course was not based on any evidence.

I did see gifs, pictures, clips, etc, and all that was enough for me to go, eh, not interesting enough to warrant my time on and it looks bad. It took one clip of Punk talking for me to go, that guys a star. 30 seconds of @mikeynicholls and I was sold. I see all these gifs and I keep thinking back to these two random indy masked ninja high spot guys from some fed indy. Now that I watched some matches, I still don't see the star. I get it, others firmly disagree with me and think her work and talking abilities are great. Thanks for the answer to the question, but I'm just not seeing it or finding her believable. She's making money and helping sell tickets, that's great, but it's just not clicking for me.

 

Now back to gifs.

To be fair, if your only exposure to Sasha Banks is what you see on Raw then it'd be rather understandable to be confused why she is getting such praise as she's been fairly unremarkable on the big stage so far.  Of course she hasn't exactly been given tons to do on said show in the months she's been around.
