Random Wrestling Thoughts (Part 2)

Its massively over produced. From the constant 3d graphics, to the commentators and talent reading from a script, to the almost zero storytelling, to the 50 50 booking where no one goes over to the vomit enducing camera cuts, to the WWE speak for everything, to..... i could keep going.

The only thing WWE have going is the talent themselves and they go out of their way to hinder most talent from becoming stars even though they are desperate for stars to be made.

As odd as it sounds, I wish more wrestlers were as hostile and less fearful of confrontation as Matt Riddle. He'll talk shít about anyone. We all know it's fake but it adds a little wrinkle of reality into things.

He had well-publicised heat with Rollins and Goldberg. A couple of years ago he put down all the old WCW guys (hilariously, in my opinion)...

And now he got in trouble for comments on Roman...

Sounds like Roman had a little whinge. I hope Riddle keeps upsetting people.

Who was the actual president of talent relations in WWE back in the day. Was it Vince? J.R. (later Johnny Ace) was the vice-president of talent relations despite apparently doing all the actual work in that area. Always thought that was a bit of an odd way to work things, but maybe it had something to do with fudging the books or something.

It started yesterday but this must be the year with the least buzz around the G1 ever, at least in the modern era anyway.

Not really surprising, NJPW has not been very good for a while now outside of a few stand outs like Shingo, who might just be the wrestler of the year. His match with Ishii was great but booking Ibushi to lose to fcuking Yujiro Takahashi fairly sums up where New Japan is at the minute.

I watch a few of the vlogs some wrestlers put out like Sammy's, Danhausen's etc. and one thing I can't fathom are the fans gifting them expensive items all the time. It just seems weird to send expensive figures etc. to people who are most likely earning more than you. Similarly you see some fans pay to meet them at nearly every signing they do, it's very weird.

You're right. But these people have more money than sense.

Fools and their money are easily parted the carny wrestlers will always shill and hustle.

The worst is the WWE cameos. €328 for a video message from Finn Balor.

29 left for anyone with 300 quid to burn.

Would ya be well...

No, I'm saving up for Alexa.

Typical Facebook stan.

What plans has Vince for Scarlett.

I love Rock, to be honest. He was the coolest man alive when I was a kid and I still think he's great, even with the kinda false Hollywood veneer.

I suppose you could say I'm a Rock stan.

Along with that word, Twitter in general and every one of these other modern day terms like "woke".

Can we keep the Stan song though? 🤔

It may have taken 5 years but Corbin is finally kinda entertaining.

Not saying it's a bad word but it, along with other words are now overused in both right and wrong ways. I'm sure "Don't be a d!ck" is a general message to use instead of using multiple other words.

Anyway, yeah Corbin is entertaining. Wonder if Grimes was a trial run for that gimmick.

Wow a comment about current day WWE that's not negative

Hurt Business Lashley is bad ass

If pointing out the Canadian Destroyer, I find the Panama Sunrise a pointless variation. Like what does the wee jump from the ropes do?

I always said Cena's FU was a weak move. Oh no, he flipped them from his shoulders, what a punishing move.

The wwe main roster UK ppv is really gaining a bit of attention and looking very promising

Talks of summerslam in the millennium stadium in Cardiff or Wembley

Definitely make the trip over but the wallet hurts thinking about it
