Again, if they made it possible to be hired by WWE, that is important.

If you ignore this piece to it and make it there, then you're openly saying it's fine for women to not be hired by the biggest company in the world and taking the biggest payday a woman could get from them, forcing them into the indy scene where they're only hired for a couple of token matches, maybe some indy promotions, and have so little a payday they'd have to do the custom matches that are borderline fetish porn.

 

...you know, like Fabulous Moolah did. 

I've read that three times and I have no idea what you're trying to say but...

Put aside the fact that the whole story is a lie and let's say Moolah did indeed help legalize women's wrestling in NY.  So what?  Moolah was a dirtbag who treated her troupe worse than indentured servants.  Getting them work in a better territory while they're still being treated like that is not some big win for them. 

That would be like saying a plantation owner moved his operation and his slaves from the Georgia sticks to Atlanta.  Good for the slaves, yay!  What awesome opportunities they'll get now!

Moolah was pretty active around the Attitude era.

That whole Jeff Jarrett: woman hater angle was much more entertaining than it should have been

It's okay - tomorrow everyone will be screaming about the WON awards and have already moved on from Moolah

The only thing I really would love to see if Hechicero finishing in top ten for best technical wrestler. But I know that’s not happening. Volador MIGHT be in the bes flyer top ten, maybe.

He played it to the hilt and got over like gangbusters doing it. Which isn't something that happened for Ol Double J all that often.

I don't know what's funnier:

1. WWE getting all defensive and going full on "Hitler built great roads and kept the trains running on time."

2. The fact that this story is not even true

3. "She may have been a pimp, a disgusting con artist, and a serial abuser, but she also made it possible for the women she treated like shit to get treated like shit in the biggest market in the world!  Generic Girl Wrestler #642 got to fake fight at The Garden~! and blow Hulk Hogan instead of Phil Hickerson!"

Its a lot simpler for WWE. They say Moolah was never charged with any crime and are not going to discredit her based on rumor and innuendo. I mean all they have to do is stone wall twitter and they'll be mad about something else in two days.

Not All In, but Allin, as in GG Allin.

Jarrett's gonna pull a GG Allin at his HOF induction ceremony.

So the tortillas were just a warm up then?

That reminds me of when I went to a birthday party at the Monster Factory in like 99. It consisted of them letting us into a ring with crash pads instead of mats and a trainee in a ref shirt absentmindedly watching us beat the shit out of each other.

With the crash pad, you really gotta work on your submissions and chops to hurt your friends.

I was freestyle grappling my brother and the guy basically watched me nearly separate his shoulder and counted the pin. Also, sure I'm not a "great" big brother, but the little bastard worked himself into a damn shoot.
