I did backstage poo poo at the Garden for WWE a few times. The talent is real loving nice, the road crew genuinely loves their job and loves loving around while setting up and the lunch/dinner spreads are AMAZING.

A spooky swamp preacher evolved into the host of a kids TV show with demonic undercurrents and could turn himself into a nigh-invincible monster clown. He challenged Cena to a match at Wrestlemania, but instead of having a wrestling match, he dragged Cena through time and space in what was supposed to be an artistic deconstruction of Cena's career. Then Cena vanished from reality and was never heard from again.

the one thing about Vince that even the WCW/Turner guys admitted -- you're never putting that fucker out of business. He's a poo poo heel carny sadist racist etc etc but you'r not beating him at wrasslin promotion Hell's bells WWE somehow just recorded their most profitable year in history (and of course are cutting pay and poo poo) From their 4th quarter earnings report quote:As was widely expected, even with the pandemic, the increase in television revenue led to the WWE’s most successful year financially in history, with $974,207,000 in revenue and $131,892,000 in profits, the first time the company has ever topped $100 million in profits during a given year. After aew there'll be dcw and then xyw and then wwwwww and etc but they aren't putting Vince mac man out of business

He's owner, gets involved in matches, and is legitimately insane. I'll probably always watch WWE just because Vince is involved and a loving psycho.

The insane thing to me here is that Vader doesn't look to be pushing up and assisting with the move like you often see. Instead it looks like Rick Steiner just loving suplexes a 450 pound man with his own strength. Which, you know... I would believe from Rick Steiner.

MakaVillian posted:I..... See COVID made wrestling extra weird. Like, a few years ago, to freshen his career up, Matt Hardy started filming these weird pre-taped matches on his property that acted as whacked out B-movies. When he went back to WWE for a spell, he did one of these matches against Bray Wyatt with the commentators (speaking for Vince) openly making GBS threads on it before it even started. But without real audiences, 2020 became the year of cinematic matches. Every promotion was doing them and they were just all over the place in terms of quality. But the best cinematic match by far was the Elite vs. the Inner Circle in a Stadium Stampede match where a wrestling ring was set up in the middle of a football stadium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSePwDI9OA0 One of the funniest touches was that while the Elite won the match, the Inner Circle still had t-shirts made of them as the first ever Stadium Stampede winners, much like how whoever loses the Superbowl always has a bunch of worthless t-shirts stating they won that are then donated to third world countries. Instead, they just sold the "Inner Circle: Stadium Stampede Winners" shirts online for half the price and it became a huge seller.

He's significantly smaller than a modern nfl lineman who tend to top out at around 350.
