RIPPA Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 That clearly comes across as they were definitely firing him the last time but because people found out they did that "NO WE AREN'T! DIRT SHEETS ARE WRONG!!!" and paid him for another month just to be spiteful 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
For Great Justice Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Not meaning to cross post too much from the sports board, but my goodness is the SEC using the 1980’s Vince McMahon playbook in college football right now or what? The parallels between the SEC killing the NCAA and Vince killing the NWA are crazy. Expand beyond your region by signing the best talent/teams in other territories to exclusive contracts, crown your own champion, sign exclusive TV deals … I wouldn’t be surprised if the next move will be to disallow those talent/teams to work for other promotions (play other major teams out of conference). Like, it’s all right there. In 10 years we are going to have Kansas State walking around with the NCAA football title like Nick Aldis. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 If Cena is only staying until Summerslam, they need to run Cena/Edge vs Reigns/Rollins with a week of promotion as a Smackdown main event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Browsing YouTube I just came across Roddy Piper on Monstervision for an airing of They Live. Nothing special or anything, just reminds me how much wrestlers used to keep Kayfabe in these humorous settings before the cat was completely out of the bag. Also sounds like he’s spewing Hogan level BS. Like he didn’t play the bagpipes at Wembley Stadium in front of Princess Diana, did he?

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 i think a "Queen of the Ring" would just be another vehicle for Charlotte. Either she wins over Asuka in the final or someone like Toni Storm wins but then Charlotte attacks her during the ceremony like Lawler.. because SHE'S THE REAL "QUEEN".. and there can only be one etc.. etc.. Blah. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkenhead Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Holy Buzz Sawyer! I have been engaging in a "discussion" on Twitter with Austin Aries as regards his feelings about vaccines. This leads me to a couple questions. How many vehemently anti-vax wrestlers are there? Are wrestlers required to submit proof of HIV or Hep C status prior to appearances?

Not my goal...love the mods...really...except for that one really pretentious dude. I just wanted to know the answers to my questions and wanted to say that Austin Aries is a bit "out there", in my opinion. I will gladly mail fast acting BC powder to the mods if they would like.

Are wrestlers required to submit proof of HIV or Hep C status prior to appearances? Low Ki & Austin Ares have been the only real vocal ones. And former NXT ref Drake too. Sahsa & Nia Jax have liked a lot of anti-vax adjacent posts but there's been no actual proof that they are anti-vaxers. Hopefully that answers your question, because this isn't a good road to go down. The mods do a good job of not letting this place turn into a political powder keg like just about ever other corner of the internet these days. As for the HIV & Hep C, in WWE yes. It's part of the medical process of getting signed. Non contract talent (extras / dark match workers) are required to show a negative blood test to get into the database to be used. I would assume AEW has similar protocol but don't know that as fact. Anything else (in the US at least) is the wild wild west. No tests. The workers who do death matches are actually pretty good about self testing to keep each other safe, but it's not mandated or regulated by any promotions outside of the two big dogs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coletti Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I recently heard Drake Weurtz's name mentioned on a political podcast (with zero talk of WHO he is) so he's absolutely the zenith of wrestling anti-vax idiocy - but he's also full Q which other wrestlers don't seem to be.
