So sad there’s no posts from ringrats.com on archive.org
I was gonna reply by saying "That's because it was 1ringrats.com and then ring-rats.com a few months later," but...something seems to have happened to the Wayback versions of the sites? 1ringrats goes to an empty directory listing and ring-rats goes to a version of the site requiring a one-time PayPal payment of $10 to get access to a private forum housing the content. I say "something seems to have happened to the Wayback versions of the sites" because I know I pulled up the "hot or not" page (the testimonials) at some point in the last 5 years or so to read the ones I pranked the site with. (I WAS A CHILD!)

Please tell me the Steve Corino page wasn't pranks. Everything else on the site seemed pretty iffy but I recall all the Corino commenters agreeing he had a huge hog, and that he was bad in bed cuz he didn't think he had to put in the work due to his huge hog.

I have thought about these sex reviews at least once a week for the last twenty years.

I cannot comment on Steve Corino's bedroom prowess, but generally I worked under the assumption that nothing on the site was real. Who the hell would be sending in actual Robert Fuller sex testimonials in 2001, for example?

As hype for probably the 2nd biggest show of the DG calendar happening on the 5th May, they've made past Dead or Alive shows available for free on the Dragon Gate Network. The shows culminate in one of the most enjoyable matches of the year, a clusterfuck cagematch with all sorts of nonsense & shenanigans & it's a joy. Usually there's some sort of "bet" at stake, hair or mask or getting kicked out of your unit or your unit disbanding, & that really adds to the big feel of it all. It's kind of a glorious summary of Dragon Gate. And that aside, there's also the usual great DG wrestling. 2019 had a great Brave Gate match with Susumu Yokosuka vs U-T, Dream Gate match with Pac defending against Dragon Kid, Strong Machine Army vs Tribe Vanguard, & the first DoA cage match I got to see live. 2018 was a real good show too, 2017 has a brilliant cage match with BxB Hulk, Cyber King, Naruki Doi, Shingo Takagi & YAMATO. 2014 has 2 matches Meltzer gave 4 1/2 * (Flamita vs Jimmy Susumu & Monster Express (Akira Tozawa & Shingo Takagi) vs Team Veteran (Don Fujii & Masaaki Mochizuki), the joy of Stalker Ichikawa singles comedy gold against a bonafide legend in Tatsumi Fujinami, a fantastic Dream Gate match between YAMATO & Ricochet & a great cage match.

Mickie James revealed a few days ago that she submitted a ton of ideas to the WWE over the past couple years in a desperate bid to be used, since they had her sitting in catering. All of them got turned down.

One of them was a pitch for an all women's show but she got turned around because 'Evolution was our lowest rated ppv ever and women's wrestling doesn't draw'.

Yeah. :sigh:

I saw some chatter on Twitter about an all Women’s WWE brand prior to this tweet. Was there an actual rumor about it? I know there was some stuff about possibly using MLW as a development territory for non-TV NXT talent

I mean, I don't think that's the solution either, but there's a kernel of truth there in that WWE is diluting what should on paper be the best women's division in the world by arbitrarily splitting them up onto a bunch of different shows and booking them all like poo poo, to the point where AEW has managed to put together a better one than any of them (except maybe NXT) in about a year and under extremely difficult circumstances.

Yeah. :sigh:

On the one hand, women's wrestling has still yet to prove itself as an actual, consistant financial draw in the US, without resorting to doing bikini calendars and bra & panties matches & the like. I don't know how true the WWE's numbers on Evolution are compared to December to Dismember (which had a far smaller live attendance) or other stinkers, but if they are accurate, then having a card with all the top womens' names in the company including Rousey (who drew HUGE money in MMA) doing that badly isn't a good look.

On the other hand, the WWE is swimming in money at the moment, so who gives a gently caress if one show doesn't do as well as the others if it's doing something as reasonable as giving women a true platform to become star performers in their own right. The WNBA has been a money loser its entire existance, but the NBA knows the importance of keeping women engaged in the sport, so it continues to prop it up. Same should be true with wrestling.

Yeah. The last few years have been the most profitable years in the company's history and they have a ton of women who just...aren't doing anything.

I can't imagine it would take much time or money out of their pockets to give the women a showcase hour every week. You've got them all sitting around in catering anyway, why not fuckin' use them? Try it out and see what happens.

I mean, they keep 205 Live around, so...
