El Gallinero Gros posted:It seems to depend. A lot of times the vet calls, but there are variants. Like if the vet is a guy who knows he's in there with a younger but superior worker and the vet is really limited, he may let the younger guy call it (an example of this would be that Hulk Hogan not only let Jericho call their matches, but according to Chris, would ask what they were doing that night since Hogan knew Chris could make him look good, which is pretty plausible). If anyone has any articles or interviews or podcasts or whatever about this kind of stuff, please share them, I find it absolutely fascinating

At Evolution, a few minutes after Becky tried to escape through the crowd, you could clearly hear a very angry woman shout "WHY DON'T YOU JUST RUN AWAY AGAIN, BECKY?"

Aesop Poprock posted:Does anyone have a sum-up or list of bad Wikipedia discussions for why they stopped listing wrestler’s moves? It’s been over a year I feel like and I still get annoyed when I check out a wrestler I just discovered and it’s not there, or if I’m trying to remember what wrestlers used to use Please, if you're ever going to listen to anything I say, let it be this one time: do not look into this. Do not immerse yourself into Wikipedia rules and decision making. Don't do it, I beg of you. It is a living nightmare.

No one actually cares about professional gaming, they only pretend to because they assume teens care. Also it's not a sport, stop letting them get away with calling it sports.

I have several friends whose kids are WWE fans and without exception they all love Roman. I've never asked but I always wonder what they think of all the boos he gets.

I asked my friend about this and hilariously her son (who is like 9) is too much of a smark to care. She got mad when Dean turned on Seth and he said, "Mom, they're just acting! They're still friends in real life!"

STAC Goat posted:And even like one of Becky Lynch's TheMan tweets lately was really "slut shamey" and no one cared because she's a hot act. Cena was married at the time he had an affair with Mickie, or at least when it started. Not sure that's slut shaming so much as a very valid criticism.

Hellblazer187 posted:Wrestling is kind of a mirror to the overall society though. It's not that wrestling fans were especially homophobic in 2003 - it's that Americans in general were especially homophobic in 2003. Bush won re-election in part because states had anti same sex marriage initiatives on the ballot, driving up turnout of his voters. It was a particularly gross time. I tried to watch How I Met Your Mother recently and it was extremely grating how often they used "gay" an insult, and that show ended like five years ago.
