Ramo2653 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 To bring back the HHH talk from last month, imo, HHH was a good secondary foil to the top guys, but I don't know if I'd ever think of him as someone's top foil, but that's a good thing because it could go from guy to guy and do stuff. A lot of social media discourse is centered around making really extreme viewpoint because of the limited characters or time for video clips so any discussion of nuance is always going to be lost. 2
odessasteps Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Supposedly, there was a memo from one of the video game companies at some point that they were told not to show any images of HHH in a weak or vulnerable position. So now you have people looking at old images or the wwe YT thumbnails now to see if it’s at all still true. 1
Log Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Wonder if they’re removing Robin Leach’s appearance from WMIV on whatever platform it’s on now.
Cobra Commander Posted February 1 Posted February 1 (edited) they're probably more likely to overdub all the mentions of "Trump Plaza" with "the Atlantic City Convention Hall" if they were gonna do anything with WM4 due to recent news Edited February 1 by Cobra Commander

So now you have people looking at old images or the wwe YT thumbnails now to see if it’s at all still true. Triple H was never a video game person as far as I know. I’ve heard stories of even Kane being a big video game person. Going into the Ruthless Aggression era you started to have guys who were big into video games. You’d think people like Taker or even Shawn would probably jokingly tease him by calling him a mark for not wanting to look weak on the video games. Outside of the wrestling bubble, wrestling video games weren’t really that big a deal in post attitude era when he was pushed a the top heel. I really don’t see why he of all people would care how he looked on video games. That seems like something the Kliq would tease other people about. Especially with him being a heel too. Why would I be an issue for a heel getting beat up in a video game. Him having his on cover is kinda markish too. It would have made sense last year because the diehard WWE fans were still looking at him as this creative savior and with him going in the Hall of Fame but now even the most diehard WWE fans aren’t really feeling him as head of creative. It’s addicting to feel that same rush he had when he was active so I guess why not let the company put himself over like the other Top top guys in different ways. It would take more energy to refuse. Let him be the Carnival barker for this current generation Edited February 2 by Ziggy

I mean they could do the same thing they did with Joe Frazier's daughter. One day she was playing basketball somewhere with no interest in boxing, and they dug her up to go fight Laila Ali. Even with little to no boxing experience, she still was competitive with Laila so I dunno what that says about women's boxing in the early to mid 2000s. 1
odessasteps Posted February 2 Posted February 2 Look at Charlotte. Had she ever expressed an interest in the business before Reid died?

Judging by her earlier appearances in pro wrestling, it looked like she would rather be anywhere but a wrestling ring. I don't mean like home. I mean anywhere like Leavenworth or San Quentin. 1 2
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 3 Posted February 3 30 minutes ago, odessasteps said: I mean, she saw what happened to David. To be fair, I am judging just based off the Starrcade 1993 at home segment as well the few appearances she had when Ric was feuding with Eric so this would have been years before David got in and then right before David became part of WCW storylines. Also, to be fair, she looked more comfortable grown up when she was there for Ric's retirement match in 2008. So I am safely assuming some of that was due to being so young and probably not understanding the business or just wanting to do whatever little girls do at that age instead of pro wrestling horseshit. David and Megan (Conrad's wife) were older so they looked like they were happy to be on camera. From what I remember with Reid and doing the angle where he wrestles Bischoff, he looked more amenable too. Hey, maybe it's best you don't groomed them to grow up in the business and let them choose.
odessasteps Posted February 3 Posted February 3 (edited) From what I’ve heard, Ashley and David had a more stable upbringing, since Flair still was on the road, but not like when he was the travelling champ. I would think, from a Sunday morning shrink pov. It was prob not easy being Flairs daughter in real life growing up, Edited February 3 by odessasteps 1
