APRIL 2021 Discussion of Wrestling


Recommended Posts

Going forward the new WWE moto is: Then. Now. Together Forever. Another variant has Together and Forever flipped in order.

Expect live crowd shows for TV Episodes Smackdown and Raw, PPV shows, International shows, Saudi shows when they go back on the road post Summerslam. No more Thunderdome too.

I almost wanna say it's Manu, who was picking up a lot of steam around that time working the eastern Indies and WXW (I remember a going to a couple indy shows and seeing him and thinking he has a bright future head of him.  But looking at it, looks like he did do a stint in WWE but never amounted to anything.

I've probably always have had a bias towards multi generational wrestlers. It's easier to have a common ground with a lapsed fan or someone who grew up as fan and not watching anymore ,you could point out how this guy/girl is so and so's Son, Daughter , Niece , Nephew etc and it might make the person show more interest because of that. 

All those Legacy members came off bland except for Orton. That was at a time when everyone coming out of Developmental looked like a generic Randy Orton. I was rooting for them all to do well. I remember everyone was impressed by Batista going out his way to Make Manu look like a million bucks because he started out with the Samoans. I didn't think he was any more Bland than DiBiase Jr and Cody.

Wait...all Meltzer said was that she was getting dental surgery and commented on how shitty it is that women have to keep doing this kind of stuff to satisfy certain expectations of women in certain circles in the industry.  Her tweet doesn’t really match up too well with what he actually said.

While the trash bag thing is horrible, did the other released wrestlers get the same treatment?   If so then it isn't just one douchebag it was a company decision to treat all of them like shit. 

Apparently according to Meltzer and others, others have received the trash bag send off and one itme sent the wrong person's stuff.    So this person organize this is not only a douche but a moron

Referee John Cone is no longer working in the Talent Relations Department as a Senior Manager, but is staying on as ref.

Nicole Zeoli, who was the Director of Talent Relations was let go. She worked for WWE over 11 years and moved into her role as Director in February 2018.

Not trying to leap to the defense of Dave Meltzer here, but yeah, I think he was pretty clearly saying that there's a lot of pressure in pro wrestling for women to look a certain way and that seems like about as uncontroversial an opinion as could possibly exist.

And I'm sorry, I don't know what the line is when it comes to Charlotte or any other public figure who has, uh, increasing amounts of noticeable plastic surgery. I'm not saying it's fair game for everyone to pile on and be an asshole or anything (if nothing else, it's pretty hacky Jay Leno monologuing about Cher kind of stuff), and it's anyone's god given right to do whatever they want to their bodies, but are we, as an audience, just supposed to...politely ignore it? Pretend that's not what's going on? Cena's hair implants were also very jarring and weird initially! A very famous wrestler has more or less debuted a new face, I feel like that's at least -- notable?

They still are. 

Every time I see this dude, I have the urge to go full Elaine Benes on him.

Because she probably never actually heard it and was responding to some rando trying to stir shit up by bringing a misleading version of what he said to rile her up and she took the bait. Dave no selling it is the correct way to handle it.
