JUNE 2019 WRESTLING DISCUSSION - Thread 2


Recommended Posts

So, I watched the Fyre Fest doc, the Theranos doc, and a doc on Carlos Kaiser (the famed football faker) this week. Between those and reading about how Charlie Ebersol basically bullshitted his way into creating the AAF, I’ve been thinking about the gullibility of supposedly very smart people to fall for complete frauds.

There is some relevance to that today, both in WWE reaching back into the past instead of giving anyone who has booked wrestling  in the last five years a shot and in the optimism of fans who listen to Eric lie on a podcast and think he’s actually a visionary.

In regards to Heyman - I mean, he’s a conman through and through. He has been involved in WWE creative lately and seems knowlegable on modern wresting but all the issues that have doomed him for twenty years will doom him now.

This just seems like a move of desperarion and historically that doesn’t work. A lot of us long-time fans saw  companies go down and it really feels this is maybe not the beginning of the end but maybe the prologue.

"Seth Rollins is a little bit of an ode to an idol of mine, Henry Rollins. He’s the leader of one of my favorite bands, Black Flag. Seth is just a name that I liked."

This motherfucker likes Black Flag but calls Rollins its "leader"? Rollins wouldn't even agree with that.

"Why don't we get married in the ring, during a live wrestling show?"

"That's a great idea! Do you know why it's a great idea? NOTHING can POSSIBLY go wrong!"

Lead singers always get the majority of the credit. With the Rollins Band, Seth would be correct.

I HATE wedding angles, but I will say this...

If you look at all of these gifs and images without context, they're hilarious looking. No wonder wrestling has a stigma attached to it

See. These all prove my point. This is all hilarious to look at in hindsight, but nearly unbearable to live through.

I think I came to this board around the time of Teddy Long's wedding, and people thought it was great and I thought it was fucking garbage.

Then  a guy got banned who really loved that one dude who tried to get over with the Rally Towel. 

So I just stayed in the puro folder for the next like 5 years.
