Is this interview somewhere I can read it. I'm not familiar with Hugo Savinovich. 1 minute ago, Curt McGirt said: BOY HOWDY have they answered your question already, and it's only *checks clock* 8:12 PM That opening segment was so ridiculous and hastily done, I feel like it must be a swerve. I'm probably wrong, though.
nofuture Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Charlotte's people playing damage control clarifying what Andrade was talking about WWE misdiagnosing her pregnant.
Curt McGirt Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I was talking about the (oh god I'm actually writing this) Miz and Morrison rap video. I missed the beginning. Hugo is a former wrestler, manager, and the longtime announcer for WWC in Puerto Rico and was the WWE Spanish commentator until 2011. He's doing AAA commentary now.
Curt McGirt Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Here's the notes from the interview Spoiler 2
El Boricua Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 13 minutes ago, nofuture said: Charlotte's people playing damage control clarifying what Andrade was talking about WWE misdiagnosing her pregnant. It adds more context but doesn't actually contradict what Andrade said, it actually confirms what he said about Charlotte being called up and told she was pregnant (I mean, what is the implication of being told you're being medically suspended due to pregnancy). The detail Andrade mentions in the interview is that it was the doctor in charge of the doping tests who called Charlotte up to tell her this. It's also the same doctor that failed Andrade the year before which resulted in his suspension. Andrade questioned a bit whether there may have been a screw up last year with his test after going through this now with Charlotte.
DreamBroken Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 3 hours ago, The Green Meanie said: I read all of this and I still don't know who he is. Was he ever on TV? Also, as a native Texan I'll tell you right now, we don't take too kindly to fake Texans. He was on the 2004 Tough Enough that took place on Smackdown with Miz, Daniel Puder, Ryback, etc. Then as mentioned, a couple matches on HEAT though at that point I think Heat was just on the website. 1
Eoae Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 The bit in Charlotte's statement about how short the window is for the women compared to male wrestlers made me think of the time Meltzer congratulated Layla El for managing to stay on tv even though she was over 30 (Vince's line in the sand at the time for female wrestlers getting tv time). Things have gotten better but I'm never quite sure I won't just look up one day and see Bayley off tv because she's too old and Mandy Rose in a bra and panties match. Vince's track record doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
Ramo2653 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Interesting interview which matches with what other ex-WWE guys have said. The women being able to go 20 minutes comment made me think about the main roster and who could go 20 and I think there are more than Andrade is giving the roster credit for.

Asuka, the Horsewomen, Shayna... Nattie, Mickie? Possibly Rhea, Nikki and Mia?

Ramo2653 Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 @IronMoose I'd probably agree with that and toss in Naomi too. Did Ruby have long matches on the indies?

Naomi is a question mark. She has never really been tested that way. Many of the main roster women haven't which is why its a weird thing to claim.
ReiseReise Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Everybody is missing the fact that Andrade said Heyman always told him the truth. Which probably makes him the only person in history of all wrestling to have ever said (and probably experienced) that... 1 7
The Natural Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Let Asuka face replace Corny face. 5 1
Ryan Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Just give Asuka any plans they had for Riddle in the future which yes includes riding around on a scooter. Remove anything involving bad pothead writing though.
Hamhock Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 16 hours ago, clintthecrippler said: The final NJPW talent showing up in WWF was the December 1984 MSG show with the famous Cobra vs Black Tiger match, and Inoki vs Dr. D David Schultz. For what it’s worth, Cobra stuck around through mid-1985 for tv tapings and a house show loop. He wrestles at MSG against Barry O in April, and then his last WWF match is in Dallas against Steamboat in May 1985. 1
Craig H Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 Man, that Andrade interview...Just when I think that company can't be worse, they prove me wrong. For fucks sake. 1

And... well, see for yourself. It's pretty amazing. When your party's key platforms/talking points are indistinguishable from parody, you've got a problem. 4
Loki Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 18 hours ago, clintthecrippler said: That doesn't seem right. WWF stopped sending talent over to work NJPW tours as far back as 1985, five years before the Tokyo Dome Wrestling Summit and subsequent formation of Super World Sports. The final NJPW talent showing up in WWF was the December 1984 MSG show with the famous Cobra vs Black Tiger match, and Inoki vs Dr. D David Schultz. Hogan's last NJPW match in that era was in June 1985 against Inoki. Andre kept going over to Japan into 1986, but that might have been separate from the overall talent trade agreement. Inoki vs Schultz sounds all kinds of interesting. Have you seen it?
The Natural Posted March 30, 2021 Author Posted March 30, 2021 Meltzer: Buddy Murphy, whose 2021 year has consisted of two matches even though he's one of the best in-ring guys in the company and I know several people who think he's one of the best in the world, wrote today to Aleister Black about wanting to steal the show at WrestleMania. No way is that match happening. Murphy is one of the best wrestlers in the WWE. Worldwide? Maybe.
Eoae Posted March 30, 2021 Posted March 30, 2021 I’ve seen this promo dozens of times over the years and still dig it. Best promo or Arn’s career? 2
