I imagine he'd be losing his shit over him, we atleast in the previous eras. Even with all his upside I'd still be nervous about how he'd be used on the main roster, just based off how a guy like Keith Lee has been booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Happy 62nd birthday to overall good guy Akira Maeda. For all his flaws, he's one of the biggest stars of Japanese wrestling/combat sports that hardly anybody in the West gives too much of a shit about. A pioneer of sorts in terms of MMA too and an absolutely great wrestler. He's way more than kicking Choshu in the face and fucking w/ Andre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 All this WALTER talk has reminded me that he should be in good graces name wise. He's only got one name, unless Vince decided to call him WALT to avoid confusion with... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarChief EagleDemon Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I'm listening to season 3 of the "Motive" podcast from WBEZ and the main character is a ridiculously close voice match to Randy Orton. So much so that it's become hard for me not to visualize him saying everything at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Roman Reigns spoke to Fox Sports about making his return to WWE TV last August: “I watched a couple of the shows. I did not follow it thoroughly. I tried to use as much of the time to be with my family and just really focus in and be present here at home, but on a few of the shows that I saw, I was just like, ‘Man, this is trash.’ Like, you know what I mean? And that’s me, from the very top, thinking this because I always want to be way better than everybody else. This is no disrespect to what they were doing. They were busting their ass working really hard. But, for me, I was like, ‘Man, I just know when it’s time to pull my trigger, I know exactly what I want to do. I know exactly the kind of stories I want to tell and the different tools I want to utilize in order to connect with our crowd, our audience that’s watching at home.’ But, I knew it was all based off of emotion. I knew I had to be emotionally connected to what I was doing to be able to wear the skin of the character that I’m trying to convey to our audience. So, that was the most important thing is that I could completely focus in and concentrate 100 percent on what I was trying to do and the emotions that I was trying to convey throughout my narratives.” Taken from f4wonline.com hence the wall of text. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christopher.annino Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 So what Roman is saying, and absolutely proving, is that if a wrestler has a good feeling about developing their character organically, it's probably gonna end up way better than if some failed sitcom writers do it? The heck you say. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So every time someone starts swearing, I post a Danhausen No Swearing gif. And now one of my players, who never watches any Wrestling (and never has), is following Danhausen on Twitter... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud to say in the seven years the WWE Network ran, I was never a subscriber because I swore I’d never give WWE a dime again. Now it’s officially failed and has been absorbed into Peacock... a service I have because of my Xfinity subscription... and now my cable bill will help pay WWE.

RIPPA Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 A couple of key points from the article - Move will happen on March 18 (so pre-Mania obviously) - This is for US subscribers only. Everyone else will access the Network as they currently do. - WWE Network will be available on Peacock Premium (which includes ads) for $4.99 per month, half the price of WWE Network’s current $9.99/month pricing. The no-commercials Peacock Premium Plus plan, which costs $9.99/month, also will include WWE Network. - And probably most importantly Quote The companies plans to share details of how existing WWE Network subscribers in the U.S. will be switched to Peacock (e.g., whether they will be automatically subscribed to Peacock) in the next few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
