Random Wrasslin' thoughts.....

So this is a thread for your musings which do not deserve an entire thread of its own.

For example

I just watched Card Subject To Change. Horrific to think that since its been made the following has happened -

Kamala has become an amputee

Sensational Sherrie, Paul Bearer and Trent Acid are dead

Had Kevin Sullivan and Nancy stayed together one of Wrestlings darkest moments would be completely different or never would have happened.

Lacey Von Erich almost became a diva. She is also crazy hot. Pure nom.

I also mused that even while Sherri was a dispicable heel while she was on tv she may well have been my first celeb crush.

All this in one lazy evening.

Is it not a bit ignorant to have subtitles for the Japanese wrestlers when they're speaking English? I saw they did it with Nakamura in that Wrestlemania video and then did it for Kairi in this week's NXT even though it was clear what she was saying. Yet they don't use subtitles when Spanish is spoken

Anyone notice that WWE have been using a smaller ring for the last good while now.

What happened to the old 20fter?

I presume the smaller one is better for television?

Aiden English and Damien Sandow teaming up is something I’d absolutely love to see if the latter ever returned to WWE. If they were given a bit of freedom, they’d probably be the most over team of the last decade.

I think a 205 or NXT style show would be a good idea and help their actual depth in that area. Sign up more Athletic ladies to development deals and get them ready for such a show.

WWE's going to have to give the girls their own proper wrestling show at some point. They're growing the women's talent pool, yet the amount of screen time they're getting is disproportionate not only to the size of the their roster but also to the popularity of a few of their top stars.

It's one of those things that WWE is probably happy to sit on until there's an outcry in wrestling journalism and the IWC about it. Well, they'd probably sit on it even then until, god forbid, the mainstream picks it up. And then they really start to sweat.

with all this talk about the woman not being allowed in saudi got me thinking why doesnt new japan have women wrestling.

is it just because there is a lot of woman only promotions in japan or just never done it. tried searching for answer but came up with nothing

That pretty much seems to be the reason. Chyna wrestled for NJPW a few times in the early 2000s fwiw. Women's wrestling in Japan in the 1990s was massively popular

If I recall right, they didn't even show Orton vs Edge on TV because of this match.

Any reports on what Neville is doing these days, aside from presumably losing out on a lot of money? Any chance of him coming back do we think?

Is that the last time we've seen a 60 minute match? Can't remember when the last time a match lasted that long on a WWE show.

What's happening with count-outs these days? It seems like they're getting rarer and rarer. The old double-countout used to be a way of keeping a feud unresolved a little bit longer. Psychologically, the count-out makes a lot of sense to utilise, especially for a heel. In terms of 'wrestling reality', if I was a heel wrestler with a title, I'd get myself counted out all the time. I wouldn't even get in the ring. :pac:

Have to get into the ring for the bell to go and the match to start. #OOCsKayfabebreakers

I don't know what I think of Vince overall tbh, I kinda go back and forth. There's a lot of good but there's too much bad to ignore. Which outweighs which is up for plenty of debate.

Sounds to me like Vince McMahon is a human being. Good characteristics, bad characteristics. Friends, enemies. Achievements, regrets.

Yeah I never knew that they had a falling out before Andre's death.

Very sad to see Vince getting emotional whilst speaking about Andre's death. You can tell that he is a good guy at the back of everything.

The Andre doc on HBO was class.

Andre must have made some money in his time.

To be fair to Cole, it's clear when he has Triple H or Paul heyman involved at different times he's actually a good commentator. It's when he has Vince in his ear he becomes a disaster.

He was excellent at the UK Tournie.

Wish Rollins would get back that blonde streak in his hair, looked so much better with that

^^ Agree with what Omackeral says about Cole, the rest of his over the top emphasizing can be dealt/put up with, but IT'S BOSS TIME and the extra oomph he puts into is where I draw the line.

Also wankpuffin, I'm nicking that for future use :pac:

That's the absolute worst of them all to be honest. It has made me resent Sasha Banks. I just wanna forward her matches now the minute I hear her theme kick in because I know that wankpuffin Cole is gonna say it. I can live with The Big Dawg. I can tolerate Oh My. I can just about abide Vintage. But this one. Sorry, I just can't. I can't. I know he's there waiting for his spot, like a wild cat on the Serengeti stalking his vulnerable prey. Cole, you fcuking scumbag shill, STOP SAYING IT, IT'S NOT BOSS TIME, IT'S 2:14am AND IT'S FAR TOO LATE IN THE NIGHT TO BE PUTTING UP WITH YOUR SH!T. FUCK OFF.

Paige was still being referred to as the anti diva last night considering that title is redundant now

Its painful, especially when you know the commentators are being fed it and told to go over the top when saying it. See Cole last night correcting Graves Bullet Club mistake for the worst example of it.
