Every time somebody doesn't want to take the poo poo anymore and at least makes the company aware that they are frustrated in their role instead of being a mindless zombie, there are multiple people half-blaming them for being ignorant. good poo poo

Asuka is great for telling them to stick it.

Punk is also great for telling them to stick it, but was a teeny bopper edgelord in the process of doing so.

What I’m saying is I can look past you being terrible if you tell WWE to stick it.

Kairi should feel nervous about a callup right now

Io should feel nervous about coming into the company right now

Asuka's right to be pissed and I'm glad she's making it known to WWE. 6+ hour show yet can't be booked, ridiculous

I just find it funny, because I've been saying for months that pushing Carmella was a really bad idea, and look at what happened. If the walkout ends up being true (we'll see after tonight's house show, since she's advertised to be part of it), then it will be an absolutely devastating blow to the "Women's Revolution" that WWE seems to love to tout. Because WWE let one of the best female workers of the world walk out because they couldn't resist pushing a talentless hack (Carmella) who has no business being in a wrestling ring.

beyond all the "what did she expect from wwe," dropping her like a rock after two lovely sight gag matches and leaving her off of freaking summerslam is just incredibly lovely.

harder to just shut up and put over the pathetically untalented women's champion for the big payday when they snatch away the payday too.

What about Neville, who's still stuck in frozen contract land

I miss him; WWE, let my PAC go (and wrestle in New Japan) :smith:

Does this make Asuka the worst end result of an NXT call-up? Going from undefeated NXT women's champion who vacates the belt on leaving, spends five months on the main roster being also undefeated, loses to Charlotte in best match on Mania, gets turned into complete idiot against Carmella afterwards and now can't even get on Summerslam, not even a loving year after being called up. After uprooting your family or moving halfway around from the world from them to make money, depending on what she did.

Like yeah yeah yeah you can go "Enzo and Cass lol" but they had a very, very low ceiling (that they couldn't even reach).

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.
In Japan Asuka wrote this article called Manifesto where she talked about how much she HATED the WWE Diva-style girls that were becoming popular in Japan at the time (Former models, children, etc)

The first thing they do after she loses her streak is pair her up with the kinda person she hated in Japan and made her lose like a chump :v:

They can totally be frustrated in the way they're being treated by WWE, but if they thought unlike everyone who came before them, that they're the ones who are going to be treated differently, then yeah, they're being naive.

Can't really argue there. If you're not picked to be The One from the moment you walk in the door, you're gonna be the same chaff as everyone else, since after almost two decades with no other legit venues for wrestlers to continue onto with their careers they don't care who you were, how much the crowd likes you, or how good you actually are, you're just gonna get slid into a spot and never be allowed to leave that spot. And as the roster bloats with them picking up any and every indie worker with a bit of heat behind them (plus rugby players and gymnasts and other athletes), there's going to be ever less room to break out of that spot.

You know it's wrestling because the understandable, normal sort of wrestling workplace story turned out to be fake and the weird creepy one involving a penis and the weird overture of threatening to tell Mom and Dad is most likely legitimate and will probably end up with zero consequences.
