FEBRUARY 2021 Discussion of Wrestling


Recommended Posts

On the subject of Charlotte Flair, there's definitely three WrestleMania matches she should have lost:

Charlotte Flair won the new WWE Women's Championship vs. Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch at WrestleMania XXXII. Sasha Banks should have won this.

Charlotte Flair defended the WWE Smackdown Women's Championship against Asuka at WrestleMania XXXIV by tapout to the Figure 8 and ending Asuka's undefeated streak. Remember how the post match was sticking tainted by the angle when John Cena finds out the Undertaker arrived and runs to get ready. I think they'll be some who disagree with me here.

Charlotte Flair beat Rhea Ripley for the NXT Women's Championship at WrestleMania XXXVI. This was the worst of the three. I don't think Rhea Ripley has ever recovered from it despite her showing in the Women's Royal Rumble match last month where she was the runner-up.

I mean, isn't that how the touring NXT shows are/were? Fly to the first city, hop on a chartered bus to the first show, hop on said bus to shows two and three on the weekend, bus back to airport to fly out.

Yep, their contracts are different from the main roster though. I think since they don’t get paid as much, they don’t make them pay for their own cars/hotels. I think they drive themselves to Florida loop shows though.

Then have the company pay for rental cars and gas money. FFS.

Not disagreeing, but the interviewer was appalled at just the fact they had to drive themselves, not that they had to pay for it themselves.

Don't know about y'all but that was quite satisfying.

Random thought: It amazes me that Truth Martini avoided any #SpeakingOut attention.

Did he do something that I didn't know about?  I haven't read anything on him for a long time.

@Dolfan in NYC, I don't know if you covered it your excellent 'Mania thread, but the "Trump Plaza" Wrestlemanias were technically held at the Atlantic City Convention Hall but were promoted as taking place at "Trump Plaza" because the casino was the event sponsor.

Regardless, thanks so much for a very satisfying video.

To be honest - of the three matches Natural mentions - I think the only egregious one is her beating Rhea

Yeah - it could be argued that in the other two (the triple threat for the new title and ending Asuka's streak) should have gone to someone else but you can at least see the reasoning behind it

Read the post I linked to @Technico Support. ? 

As to the Charlotte thing... just to preview what I'm going to write up soon-ish.  Flair-Ripley is absolutely the worst of those.  It's not even competitive... it's a 20 minute squash.

I see this and raise you Bret cutting promos on how Canada's better cause of low gun violence and universal healthcare

And I fold with Ludvig Borga complaining about all the filth and pollution caused by lazy Americans. Not taking into consideration his other leanings that may or may not have been implied with his character at the time .

Came today, the shirt quality is good, and they popped in a couple of those Superstars MusiCards that I totally forgot existed until just now. It was a fine purchase, is what I'm saying.

Nothing specifically, but in his "Art of Wrestling" interview, he paints himself as a pretty questionable fellow, so it just seemed like one of two things could've happened: 1) Hs could live up to the sleaze, or 2) he could have easily been misinterpreted in his behaviors at some time or another.  Granted, since he stayed out of scandal, it could be 3) all is well with the world.

I just received a Dangerous Tekkers shirt as a belated V-Day gift. Who knew the gift of Taichi could cheer someone up?

I'm all aboard the Taichi Train along with The Artist Formerly Known As Oyaji!!!

I still steadfastly believe Asuka beating Charlotte and then losing via a Carmella cash-in following the Iconics attack was the better way to go.

Oh, right I forgot about that one. It's been a long time but I didn't remember anything that was too serious. I'll have to look it up though.
