this is the argument usually made in these situations. "If we're spending $XX on this actor, we want the audience to SEE him/her!"
Even if it’s burnt Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

Speaking of the Penguin, a certain section of fandom is annoyed because the version of the character in the new Batman cartoon is a lady.
I don’t think these are actual comic book fans just your usual YouTube hate farmers taking a break from making Acolyte videos to jump on something new for views.

Kamille officially gets the graphic
Has this picture been touched up as they say or does this gal always look like a game CAW?

It was a pic of him and Jungle Boy with the caption ‘Cry me a river’ in case you or anyone else were still wondering.

That was the following year. So WM 37 in 2021 was their first show with crowds after the pandemic shut down (and I think it was reduced capacity) and they just ran back the same pirate theme in Tampa. That had Lashley (winning the belt off of Miz who used MITB [that he took from Otis] contact on Drew) beating Drew in the opening match on night one to retain. Roman retained the Universal title on night 2 in the main event in the triple threat with Edge and Danielson.
Lashley held the title until Big E cashed in MITB in September who lost to Brock in a 5 way at Day 1 on 01/01/2022, Brock traded the title with Lashley (that was a fun on and off feud) and the titles were unified at WM 38 in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Whew.
Thanks! I never liked the two world titles to begin with and now I can’t even keep track of them.

That’s just recycling Big Boss Man feeding Al Snow his chihuahua though
Does this all go back to the Fuji story about him feeding his neighbor his own dog in a meal?

I mean... Lashley won the heavyweight title and defended it against Drew at Mania so you just sorta missed it?
I thought Roman merged the damn belts?!

In 2014, MVP, Lashley, and Kenny King were a trio unit. In 2015, the BDC formed but Lashley turned them down and feuded with them instead.
HIs 2016-17 run was his best IMO. Some of my favorite matches included:
vs. Drew Galloway (Slammiversary 2016)
vs. James Storm (August 2016 iMPACT for all the titles)
vs. EC3 (Bound for Glory 2016)
series vs. Eddie Edwards (Destination X 2016, July 2016 Impact Steel Cage Rematch, October 2016 Impact x2, January 2017 Impact 30 min Ironman)
vs. Matt Sydal (impact Desination X 2017)Promo-wise, I don't think it's online but the press conference leading up to BFG 2016 was top notch character work for him at the time.
I really hoped him and Drew would have done something again in WWE because their TNA stuff was great but I knew Vince wouldn’t ever get behind Lashley and with Hunter well unless Bobby renamed all his moves to be metal references and turned in to an actual metal head he is just not getting behind someone.

I would replace MVP because it made no sense for him to be in the group aside from a mouthpiece and I think Lashley is better on the mic then people know because most people didn’t see his TNA run.

Dustin needs to get down off that high horse. People inside his industry created that term and I think it’s fair to use. “Enhancement talent” sounds like a McMahon word salad $10 term, like local medical facility.
We are all suppose to forget the J.O.B. squad.
I mean I’m sure it sucks when Dustin has to tell these kids match finishes and he’s always met with the jobber rebuttal but some things are so ingrained they can’t be changed with just a tweet.

I can't get back to the page and quote someone because I'm on a phone and when I read pages of threads they're lost forever unless it's one of the first pages or the very last page buuuuuut:
God does that old Raw is War intro still rule. It isn't just nostalgia, it's the whole thing. They have that ramping up WWF Attitude bumbumbumbumbumbum bit with the flashes of sound. Thorn in Your Eye goes HARD with synchronized clips of dudes getting pasted with weapons. Then you get the We're All Together Now guitar loop while rockets come screaming in and exploding around the entrance with the camera set at the bottom of the line where the rockets fly down and make impact. The arena is sold OUT and probably did in like a couple of hours at most. Signs are EVERYWHERE and the crowd is batshit. JR comes in and tells us where we are and says the arena is sold out before some major heel or face's music hits and just about EVERYONE is over with the crowd.
You were lucky if you got to experience that every single week. God, it was so hype. A perfect opening.
Are we talking Austin walking through a warehouse intro? If so then yea that one is legendary.
I think what is lost in people always dwelling on stuff like ratings, attendance and money numbers is the level of how dialed in to wrestling people are during a hot period. The attitude era for all the shit it gets in hindsight will probably never be topped.

Penelope Spheeris movie featuring Ducky as a punk rocker. I could have sworn you were the one who dissed it but I must have been mistaken. Features The Vandals performing in the beginning. It's almost a modern Western in some ways.
Sadly not the Og version of the vandals. The most punk thing about this movie is that the villian is Lee Ving from FEAR and he is in full good old boy mode.
Flea is also in this movie because well, Penelope Spheeris seemed to really like his terrible acting.

After years of searching, I discovered a VHS tape I had been looking for for years has surfaced on Youtube. Check this out:
https://i.ibb.co/tCZy866/s-l1600.jpgWell that was something. I enjoyed the Shotgun Sheriff bits and Lou Albano just basically cutting complete nonsense promos. Bruno doing his usual WWF doesn’t draw because of too many gimmicks shtick was there.

I wonder if there had been better TV build these house shows would have drawn better leading to a WM8 main event?
Jesus Hulk was so god damn roided out he began to lose his butt crack. Totally explains the push up gag with his ankles in No Holds Barred after all these years.

The thing about Bryan selling like he's injured... firstly, Eddie Kingston sells like that too, and I don't see anyone complaining about that. Secondly, his current career arc is telling the story that he's an old and broken down wrestler in his last fulltime year. So showing that wrestling is destroying him on a match by match basis is just a good bit of overarching storytelling. Now obviously having a man (who is younger than a lot of us here) illustrating his fleeting mortality and the depredations of ageing is going to be a little close to the knuckle, but... if he were to read your concerns, he would think that you were complimenting him on the strength of his work.
The one thing I did like, when Ospreay missed the OsCutter on the apron, Prince Nana went over to him and shouted "Stupid Stupid Stupid", making the spot a strange Kofi/Orton tribute.
I believe the kids today would call what your on about with AD is “Copium”.
Nobody thought Flair was being some super worker when he faked a heart attack on Nitro it was just a garbage idea.

This could go elsewhere but more eyes will see it here, the Creed Brothers have been named for the next Bloodsport event.
As much as anytime WWE gets involved with an indie it worries me, I really hope that these events can remain neutral ground. Huge nod a respect from all companies to Josh Barnett.
Their are probably some negatives that could be found in all this inter promotional stuff but wrestling has been so closed off and up its own ass for so long I just hope people will appreciate this stuff now because it won’t last forever.

That's a hard "No" from me. Maybe I'm getting more prudish as I get older but I'm not a fan of shirts with swear words. It just looks trashy. Someone wearing that would embody every stereotype of wrestling fans out there.
Shit looks like a Windows Desktop wallpaper some fan thought would be cool to print and iron on to a shirt.

Foreman came across as truly genuine, had a sense of humor, and could be somewhat self deprecating, that’s why he was a good pitch man, Hogan had/has none of those attributes.
“No side bread for this dude”
Didn’t it eventually come out that Pastamania was just a “Chef Boyardee restaurant”. Not defending Hogan but that wasn’t going to work with anyone.

I don't watch WWE and have only heard summaries about this show on pods, but god damn, did they really book every match in such a way to make sure nobody got over and nobody went under? Like everyone who didn't win could still leave their match with a conceivable claim that they should have won if not for x, y, or z? That is the most chickenshit booking imaginable and I feel like the only reason it works is because of the devaluing of their events in general, being on a $20 per year streamer instead of having to actually draw PPVs to stay in business. Fuck, I am old and this shit is not pro wrestling.
Old: Book angles and storylines, build wrestlers up, have a program that pays off in a satisfying way on PPV
New: Book toward mOmEnTs, which are more important than finishes, keep everyone strong
Vince left but the 50/50 booking didn’t.

They couldn’t get Puffy? Oh wait this was a Joshi show. On that note are we sure we wanted Kanye there? He probably told people he was there “Geisha shopping”.
Unrelatd note how long would Cody have had to stay in AEW before we got something like this?

Is apartment wrestling still a thing? Stumbled across a Reddit thread about Thunder Rosa and some sort of apartment wrestling (the poster didn’t call it that) and there was a video linked in the thread to a clip of Thunder Rosa wrestling someone in an empty gym. Rosa was dressed in a tiny bikini that seemed to be defying gravity by staying up and the other woman wasn’t wearing much either. I’ve never seen apartment wrestling before so I was mostly creeped out by how scummy it all seemed. Indie wrestler still do this? The comments mentioned Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch doing this spot of thing at some point in their careers (separately. Not together).
Can’t believe there are people that still watch this kind of thing can we get a link to confirm such tomfoolery still exists…

When Sid Vicious goes in the WWE Hall of Fame, who would you like to see induct him?
Dan Spivey. Given who is in the Hall he should be in there too but inducting Sid may be as close as he gets while he’s alive so it’d be a nice way to give them both their flowers as they say.

I always thought the same about Fenix but dude gets hurt a lot. I assume WWE would make him tone it down a bit but his bump card is definitely up there already.
I have no idea how Penta will work in WWE.
If Vince was still around he would 100% be the next La Parka circa wcw.
