I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Nia could probably spend a year with STARDOM and come back a really good wrestler, and maybe even be paid better because you know how much Vince loves when a wrestler pretends like they don't need him

Jinder Mahal is going to beat Brock 100% clean in an out of nowhere six-star match by doing all of Okada's moves better than Okada does them and also a Canadian Destroyer Pedigree like I saw one guy do in a video from Singapore Pro Wrestling or something.

It's weird to me how much poo poo people give wrestlers for wanting out. If Nia is unhappy and doesn't want to be apart of the WWE machine anymore, than more power to her.

Big Show has spent years being sent away to stop being so fat and improve but they won't take Nia off and train her because she's a woman I guess and she's not worth as much.

I think everyone should leave WWE. Maybe then they'd actually treat their EMPLOYEES right. I love it when talent tells them to gently caress off. Go Nia!

It's also a salient point that she's gotta be catching a lot of poo poo backstage for her weight/body type. I mean this is the same company that's actively poo poo on Kevin Owens for his size and bullied a star commentator for the crime of 'having a history of mental illness.' The WWE is a bizarre carny time capsule of poo poo coupled with unfettered corporate avarice.

i think if we spent less time criticizing people for being fat, being women, being untalented, liking the Destiny franchise, incorrectly using a comma and omitting a period from your post, or treating your employees poorly, and instead spent more time at the dinner table with our families, well, maybe Puerto Rico wouldn't be in the state it's in now.

I for one am ecstatic that she doesn't want to be a part of the WWE machine, since that means she will no longer be ruining things that I might be able to enjoy otherwise.

The only thing that's ruining things you might enjoy is the WWE. Ultimately they're the ones who pushed someone who wasn't ready because they liked their look/had the right connections #Roman #Jinder

This, a thousand times this. The two instances you have mentioned are men, but it is worse for women.

Sure there is the Women's Revolution, (thank you Stephanie), but never forget this is a company that had the face announcer shout "puppies" at any opportunity, called Molly Holly out for having a fat arse, (and it was the faces doing the body shaming), and mocked Bayley for being a sexless ugly virgin just because she chooses not to dress like a slut. (Also a company that used slut and bitch as their main pejorative insults.)

Most people are lovely at their jobs:

"The Peter principle is a concept in management theory formulated by educator Laurence J. Peter and published in 1969. It states that the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and "managers rise to the level of their incompetence"."

Nia's theme was terrible. It's like they thought it was fitting just because it said the words "I'm a monster!" at the start of it. But it didn't sound intimidating at all.

Hey guys, I always thought the best way to sell a Brock challenger was to have them do a few German duplexes of their own on Brock. I'd love to see Brock and Jinder trade German suplexes like other wrestlers trade elbows




But then I imagined Roman trying to suplex Brock and now I can't stop laughing lol

It's a lot easier to justify Jinder's push, even if it is unwarranted. WWE apparently sees a market in India (even though there really isn't one), and pushing him because of that. He's probably dropping the title soon after the tour, and will be back to jobbing on Main Event a few months later.

From the latest Observer (emphasis mine)

quote:

WWE is looking to shop around several new reality show ideas for television. One would be a show built around Miz and Maryse, living in Hollywood as a Hollywood star couple, with their celebrity friends, like Ryan Cabrera and Avril Lavigne. According to PW Insider, the working title for the show would be “The It Couple.” It would be another spinoff from Total Divas since Maryse has been on the cast meaning Miz has appeared with her. Another idea is for a 2018 version of the Diva Search, since that idea did bring in a ton of talent who had strong runs with the company, including the Bellas (who never actually made the cut but were first spotted in tryouts), Maryse, Michelle McCool, Layla, Rosa Mendes, Candice Michelle, Christy Hemme, Maria Kanellis, Ashley Massaro, Krstal Marshall, Eve Torres, Taryn Terrell and others who had shorter stints with the company.

Why???? :psyduck:

I totally understand (though disagree with) why they're doing it, but that doesn't stop "bad wrestlers don't get pushes" being completely untrue.
