Gangrel doesn't even resemble the clan he's named after LAX is gonna be called Proud N Powerful or some shit Shit, now I'm going to lose my mind trying to figure out exactly what clan Gangrel the wrestler might've fit in.

Casey Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Apparently Sadie Gibbs swung on Bea last night backstage over some drama from Stardom that Bea and Ospreay were fueling over Twitter, due to her leaving a tour to grieve when a family member died.

It was Ospreay who actually did this though there was general suspicion Bea was the one behind it. Its was pretty low of them though Gibbs would have just been better moving on.

Gangrel is the name of one of the vampire clans. yes, i realize that the name Gangrel was trademarked. i never understood why WWE would pay to use it in the first place. 4 hours ago, Tromatagon said: They didn't always license the Gangrel name.

AxB Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 See how every time Riho comes out, they mention about how she is Kenny Omega's former Tag Team partner? They're going to have a mixed tag match (or possibly a full division) at some point, aren't they? Also, I'm watching the Tony Khan post show interview and he was talking about how the company is committed to diversity and that the World title isn't going to be just for white guys, and he has a planned minority wrestler who's going to be in the World title picture... but refused to expound further on that because of not giving away future booking et cetera. So, is this someone who's signed that they've not announced, or someone who is currently under contract elsewhere, or someone who's been on a show but not pushed as a top singles guy yet?

Tromatagon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Holy shit. If he's hinting at what I think he's hinting at I love this promotion so much. :X Edited September 2, 2019 by Tromatagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tromatagon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Penta wasn't who I was talking about, no, but that would be nice. Luchasaurus wouldn't be someone I'd probably ever be happy about getting a world title push, but in response to what was said he isnt even the best dinosaur in wrestling, let alone the only one.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m with you on Luchasaurus. He’s a great hot tag, and I love the dude. But unless he can choreograph, and structure a whole match like he does those hot tags(a la DDP, Randy Savage, AJPW roster), then I can’t trust him to be a full-time singles guy yet.

This probably isn’t who he’s talking about, especially shorter term, but I’ve figured they’ll eventually use SCU to push Scorpio Sky as a singles guy.

As much as I rip on Luchasaurus he actually has a really good singles match he does with Johnny Mundo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just brutal. He was responding to a question about why the company that says it's committed to diversity has diversity everywhere but the men's singles division. He didn't bring it up himself absent of context or anything. The tag division has white guys, black guys, Latino guys, Asian guys, a dinosaur and whatever Evil Uno is supposed to be. The women's division has white women, Asian women, black women, Latino women, a Native American woman. Men's singles is white Americans and white Canadians, with a couple of white Englishmen, so far. But if one were to indulge in whataboutism, one could mention how many years WWF/WWE was running before their first Black World Champion was crowned* and wonder if AEW would take that long. * Autocorrect changed crowned to drowned. Damn racist telephone. Although it might be interesting to look at all the promotions and see how many years it took each one to give a Black (or non-white at least) wrestler the top title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 You mean WWE crowning their first minority champ in 74? Or if we're not counting Puerto Ricans, 93? Or if we're not counting Somans 98? Or if we're not counting mixed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Yoko was Samoan and champion way before 98 Edit nevermind I got confused AxB Sonny Kiss is in the male singles division. Laredo Kid maybe? He's only been in a trios match, but Sonny has only been in a singles match and I hope it's who they were hinting at.

Jiji Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Does anybody think the freelancer is going to win, even if she is Kenny's girl? Kahn talked about diversity and not just tokenism or forced diversity but pushing minorities because they are the best. Nyla Rose has some cool spots but she is not good yet. This seems forced to me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I am not impressed by Riho in any way and don't get exactly why not. Different shit for different people I guess. I was talking on Twitter how the women's division doesn't have someone that does more of a brawler/hardcore wrestling style and how bringing someone in like Ludark Shaitan in would work wonders for me being more interested in the division, but you'd also need to bring in someone to work with her or have someone willing to do death match lite spots. Maybe her cousin but she's Lady Shani now and pretty distanced from the death match stuff. But Ludark is also trained by Skayde and Silver King so regular matches aren't off the table.
