Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Worst case scenario naming it after Burke: "Who's Mildred Burke?" "No fucking idea" "Oh". Nobody's gonna boycott the show because they don't know who the women's battle royal is named after. Nobody's gonna be like "I just can't get invested in this match since I don't know who Mildred Burke is". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Dave legit spent about two minutes trying to answer it. "I know he bought property in Calgary...I don't remember him ever buying anything in the United States..." I’d have thought the greatest was “the gay community?”, given it still gets referenced all these years later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Was that trolling though? Seemed like an earnestly asked question that Dave reacted really poorly to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 God the MSG show looks all sorts of... weird Nakamura beat Owens via DQ - Was supposed to be a tag of Nakamura/AJ vs. KO/Sami. They had KO and Sami jump them from the crowd and AJ did an "injury" angle. AJ came back at the end to make the save for Nakamura. So AJ didn't wrestle Cedric Alexander over Drew Gulak Asuka beat Mandy Rose Bray Wyatt beat Matt Hardy - Bray has suddenly started winning all the house show matches. I am sure that will make up for all the TV losses Bar won a 4-way over New Day, Gallows and Anderson and Titus Worldwide - New Day did the job because SDL losing is more important than Titus losing again I guess... Brock beat Kane and Braun - Went 5 1/2 so I guess they didn't want to piss off the MSG crowd Alexa beat Sasha and Bayley in a triple threat - Sasha did the job. Nia came out after and beat up Alexa and Mickie James. Did not wrestle. More on Bayley in a second John Cena and Nikki Bella beat Elias and Sonya Deville - Up until the day of the show - this had been advertised as Elias/Bayley (which at least made sense MMC wise). In fact - I am pretty sure Bayley tweeted about the match earlier in the day. Reigns/Balor/Rollins beat Miz and The Miztourage - Miz ate the fall because of course he did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWE could come off looking really bad if they did a show the day before, and then an indie show did a similar or better crowd the next day. I don't even know numbers, does WWE even draw 10,000 at a non-televised house show? I assume they'd take the "pretend it's not happening" approach. A recent Sunday SmackDown house show at oracle arena in Oakland drew 3200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSJ Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 15 hours ago, mattdangerously said: Did you see the tweet that started all this? Some dude tweeted at Meltzer that the Roderick vs Cedric match on 205 was great, and Dave's response was "You'd get to see matches that good every week if you watched someting besides WWE," which is douchey as hell. Meltzer deserved to get dragged. Well, that is true, but without benefit of hearing voice tone, seeing body language, etc. it does come off as condescending as hell. In fact, making the assumption that all one watches is WWE with absolutely nothing to base that on is rather patronizing at best, douchey as hell at worst. Still, all things considered, Bix is rather annoying and deserves to have his ears boxed on a regular basis. Hard to say whether or not being condescending or douchey was Dave's intent, for someone who writes thousands of words every week, written communication has never been his strong suit.

Even then, the best option would be to do like the indy scene's done in the last year with the "take bookings from Sexy Star and give them to Rosemary" or "take bookings from Michael Elgin and give them to Jeff Cobb" move of "we're not just taking a booking from you, we're giving it to someone who will make sure every fan KNOWS we're doing it to strike a blow over what you did". With that in mind, making it the Luna Vachon battle royal makes the most sense. A person WWE fans would know, but people who also know would know it's giving the honor to the one WWE alumni who was a confirmed victim of Moolah's sex crimes (not even just the "she took money from them", but the REAL bad stuff.)

RRR Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 How about we just call it the “Honorary Trish Stratus Wrestlemania Women’s Battle Royale” She was pretty much doing or trying to do what the women are today in the ring but with way less talented ppl to do it with like 20 years ago and she still gets a reaction and is remembered. Might as well start getting some people that are alive some credit since were already down to Jeff Jarrett HoF main event. And most importantly we get to see Trish more perhaps and no I will not settle down because you know I’m right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
