hammerva Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Of course they have nothing for Asuka. They used up most of their Asian stereotypes in NXT. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Old School Question: i'm watching the 2002-2004 run of MLW, and just got to the point where they apparently cancelled their October 24, 2003 card "Hybrid Horror". Was this purely a financial thing, or were there other factors involved? i see they ran a couple shows at the start of 2004 but then just disappeared for 13 years. has Court Bauer ever talked about this?

(BP) Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I thought MLW just went so deep into the red paying for travel for the talent before a ticket was sold that they didn’t think going ahead with the show would be enough to get them out. Then they gave it another shot the following year and did the same thing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obligatory old man quote. i meant it more as a reference to our "Old School Questions" thread that covered everything, but i felt dirty while typing that as well. the term changes, but people use "retro video games" as anything more than 15 years old, while i'm still over here playing my NES and my newest non-Nintendo system is the XBox360 (released in 2005). yikes. 4 minutes ago, The Natural said: I dont.

paintedbynumbers Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 1 hour ago, The Natural said: Sad indictment on WWE that. They also have no creative for Elias. Well no shit. They gave his spot to Rick Boogs. How anyone can sign with WWE in the state they are in right now is beyond me. Money doesn't always buy happiness. Look at all of the talent gone from WWE in just 2020 and 2021 alone. I bet you could take that talent and build a company that would get higher ratings than raw and smackdown. Asuka deserves so much better as does the majority of the roster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimbra Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Everything about this keeps getting funnier and funnier. "Big seasoning" Edited February 28, 2022 by Zimbra 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Everything's a grift. This is actually some of the most pro wrestling shit ever on the part of CYN, and what surprises me is actually that no one got to this grift until 2022. It speaks to how well WWE was paying guys just to be on their roster that no one felt the need to try. Nick Khan came through the doors and all of a sudden, dudes are out here selling seasoning that pisses off the lefties. Can MREs and supplements be far behind? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) IIRC, after Watts sold to Crockett, he got into the supplement/pyramid scheme business. I think it was vitamins, not Amway, but you know .. Edited February 28, 2022 by odessasteps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Asuka 1. Put her on Main Event, let her wrestle awesome 10-and-unders 2. Put her in NXT and have her squash trainees 3. Have her do stupid interviews until you figure something out 4. Drop her and let her go anywhere else 5. SLOT HER INTO A TOP MATCH WITHOUT ANY REASON It's not that hard. This "creative has nothing for you" has to be some pathetic guilty excuse on their part for not even thinking about her, and then deciding to do nothing anyway. You make up your own rules! How is THAT one of them? EDIT: Oh, and considering the idiot wrestling group they have a guy billed as The Invisible Hand. My guess is his finisher is hitting you over the head with a copy of Atlas Shrugged and his submission is reading it to you.

You make up your own rules! How is THAT one of them? i know it's been said a million times, but a performer's job is to PERFORM. a member of the creative team's job is to BE CREATIVE. WWE must have gone through dozens of writers by now. how do we not get just an insane amount of batshit crazy stories about pitch meetings, and ideas, and changes/rewrites, and all that? i can only imagine how draining and exasperating it would be to be employed there with that job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
