Infinit Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I still don't get how an 8 team league could have a Guardians and a Defenders. Almost as bad as the CFL having a Rough Riders and a Roughriders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 The Rough Riders and Roughriders were from different leagues that never officially merged until Ottawa has been in existence for more than 70 years, and Saskatchewan had been named Roughriders for more than 30 years.

Custos Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Listening to Quackenbush talk about personas and how, starting out, you should have a very specific persona firstly as a developmental exercise (how would a wrestling accountant throw a punch?), secondly because if it’s too broad then there’s likely a better version of your persona out there right now. Which made me think, does NJPW have the highest proportion of the ‘best version’ of broad archetypes in current wrestling? Conniving Odious Heel - White Technical Wizard - ZSJ Athletic Marvel - Ibushi / Ospreay Scary but Agile Monster - Archer Cool Rebel - Naito Stoic Warrior - Ishii Never-give-up Face - YOSHI HASHI Impossibly Handsome Man - take your pick among Ibushi, SANADA, Tana and others Yes there’s bias from having just binged the G1 but it’s hard to think of more proficient, more over versions of these character types. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 There's more coming out about OWE United Kingdom's shows next month. Five days of tapings, Two in London (Sep 18th & 19th) and Three in Liverpool (Sep 20th, 21st & 22nd), for a show on Fite.tv. Two episodes per live show. And they've got a nice mix of OWE originals, UK indy workers and AEW talent booked: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SorceressKnight Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 14 hours ago, LoneWolf&Subs said: Oh man, I can’t wait for Drew McIntyre as a heavy for the Scottish mob, or Braun Strowman as a coach of an inner city pee wee b-ball team who gets involved in the action of taking down the gangs corrupting the youth, or maybe Alexa Bliss as a Cyberpunk stripper/heavy for a Neo Detroit mob boss, and they all have to hit their signature moves once in contrived ways. Edit: In reference to wrestlers making cameos on Fox Network programming. Honestly, I'll just settle for WWE Superstars doing guest spots on The Simpsons- considering that wrestling was big for the entire run of The Simpsons so far, had a bonafide boom period during the time and was big otherwise, had a number of huge stars...and yet the Bret Hart guest spot on The Simpsons was the only time a Simpsons guest spot went to a wrestler (in either company, no less.) Shit, they made the episode where Grampa Simpson was a former Gorgeous George-style villain and even then, we got no WWE stars to do a guest spot.

Well, I know what Domestic Abuse is, wasn't aware Honma had ever been in trouble for that. But who Lisa Frank is and what Kevin Sullivan does behind closed doors, you're talking in pure riddles there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Frank So basically Casey was saying EVIL is a kiddie/Halloween version of the old Satanic/evil wrestler trope. Kevin Sullivan used to beat on his female disciples when they screwed up (at least he did Fallen Angel/Woman, not sure about Luna) on camera. As far as Honma: Quote In November 2015, Honma's former girlfriend of 18 years, fellow professional wrestler Kiyoko Ichiki, accused him of domestic violence over the past four years. Honma denied the accusation, instead claiming that he was abused by her and stating that he was seeking legal action against her for trying to damage his career.[48][49] Edited August 22, 2019 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
