Takemura helps in that regard. In the manga, he's bragging about the awesome Tenryu vs. Hashimoto fight he saw, drops a DDT on someone, and has a WAR t-shirt. My favourite Pro-wres reference in a manga is Flame of Recca, once the tournament begins, before the heroes are taking it seriously, one guy has Masa Saito's theme blaring out of a tape deck before his fight.

Log Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I like to imagine sportswriter Brody covering a Jason Garrett press conference and calling him "Jason" instead of "Coach", but when Garrett gets all pissy, Brody stomps his whiny ass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realized today that Kross is about six inches shorter than I thought he was. For some reason, I thought he was close to 7' (WWE bills him as 6'4"). So, yeah, he's huge, but not WWE huge. That's not good. Vince is going to lose interest in a blade 6'4" guy long before he loses interest in a bland 7' footer. I;m going to predict that, by January, Kross and Scarlet may have matching his and her "Have you seen me?" milk cartons. Maybe they can sell them at live events while Kross is chillin' in catering.

Whenever she does, she looks like an alien or a robot trying to approximate human emotion.

supremebve Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 So, I don't want to bring this up, but is there any reason not to bring Scarlet up with Karrion Kross? Or are they out here trying to break up happy homes again? Honestly, when they first debuted, I took one look and knew that Scarlet was the key to their entire act. She has insane physical charisma. Sure, there are a lot of attractive people in television, but he she has something a little extra that elevates that pairing to something I don't think Kross will ever be able to reach by himself.

Log Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 That’s a weird thing WWE does now (has done for a while) that bugs me. Used to, a booker looked a wrestler and tried to accentuate their positives and do things to hide their negatives. At least, that was the idea. Of course it didn’t always happen. Can’t talk? Put them with a manager/mouthpiece. Not that strong in the ring? Keep their matches short or put them in there with someone who can guide them. Now, they seem to take a wrestler and strip everything away that might get them over and see how they do. As an exercise, that’s interesting, but as a provider of entertainment, it’s counterproductive. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
