Someone (not just this guy) thinks Asuka will get depushed for blocking someone stupid on twitter because "she can't handle opinions". Someone else then posted this in response:

https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Alivmorganfan08%20asuka&src=typd

So uh yeah, I think the block was justified, and I don't think WWE will punish her for blocking someone on twitter. Otherwise almost everyone on the roster would be in jobber territory. I think the thing that caused her to block him was the constant attacks on her, including claiming she had to pay nudes to win the Royal Rumble, along with him claiming Asuka was the reason Alicia Fox missed the Rumble.

Many WWE wrestlers respond to people by saying something mean and the words "you're blocked" or similar. But when you throw in the fact that asuka doesn't know a single word of english or how to emote or wrestle, she may be in very spicey water

Just in case you thought Wrestle Forum was full of nothing but misogynist posts, here's a post about how Impact will move to USA Network if WWE jumps ship to FOX.



That's some TNAMecca level mental gymnastics.

I have to think New Japan or ROH would be far more attractive to USA if they wanted to keep wrestling on the air (assuming they even would, more likely they drop it and just rerun NCIS or L&O 3 more times).

ROH would run into the problem ECW ran into back in the day where they would expect a certain level of production value

hahaha. Reminds me of ECW's last hope which was WWE moving to TNN and USA being desperate for any wrestling. Instead, USA simply said "gently caress wrestling and the hicks who watched it," made more profit the next quarter because even though their ratings were down, everything has better ad rates than wrestling. ECW was cancelled. WCW was cancelled shortly thereafter, and literally no networks wanted any wrestling.

But I'm sure USA is chomping at the bit for a show that gets terrible ratings on POP TV.

Media companies sell content to their rivals all the time. Gotham is a WB production airing on Fox. And I recall reading that Sinclair were looking to get ROH on non-Sinclair stations recently. I do agree with the point that production value would be a dealbreaker even if they were interested.

This makes me hope it turns out to actually be a work, because having a main event performer known for being unprofessional no show your biggest show of the year as a work would be so amazingly dumb that it would go down in wrestling history

It’s Impact, though, so it wouldn’t be the stupidest thing they’ve ever done.
