In general, how much does a jobber in the WWE get paid? Has anyone ever come out and said? I imagine it is a comfortable paycheck, even when you take out travel expenses, for what you have to do every night. e; Also, when it comes to watching good stuff on the network, you can look at Pro Fight Database and look at a list of PPVS and look at the matches on the card for each. It gives you a list of matches. Generally, if you see a few threes or above, it is probably worth a look at that PPV, or, those matches. e;, hahah, beat in my edit Another Person fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Jul 27, 2014 |

Shima Honnou posted:I recall reading that someone (I think Xavier Woods) said the baseline check for the main roster was $75k a year, with the NXT roster making $50k a year. That isn't actually much then, considering how much they travel. They will be spending a hell of a lot more on hotels, food, rentals and so on than they would be in another career. Weird, I expected about $100,000.

The one house show I went to when Edge came out, it was to roaring boos. Dude lived to heel, why did they ever turn him face? I am saddened that when I go Smackdown in November that he won't be there, or any show ever anymore really. Smackdown was his show and his home. He was part of what made it.

The Goog posted:Drugs like cocaine, yeah, but John Cena is by all accounts pretty heavily into his alcohol and he's far from alone on that front. Where do people get this from? I can't find anywhere saying he is a big drinker. Googling John Cena alcoholic only gets a few results about some interview from 2005, comparing his championships to Flair and a yahoo about him having a drink on stage with Austin. Who said it originally and where can I read it?

So, ring generals. It is a word people usually use to describe guys like Bret Hart. Guys who are in charge in the ring for a good reason. They know how to structure a match well on the fly, they know how to work an audience, and they know what sounds like a good idea and would look good, and what would not. They usually end up being the guy in the ring making all of the calls, and typically are in 'charge' of the match. Who in the WWE right now can be referred to as a ring general? I'd say it is safe to assume D-Bry is possibly one. Anyone else? How about in other countries? e; companies, not countries. Duuuuuh.

Ehhhh, I'd say there is calling spots, and then there is being a ring general. I mean someone who is really good at it, and can put on a hell of a match with any worker. Jericho isn't doing that right now, and sometimes Cena can, sometimes he can't. I'm asking about whether there are any guys who could go out with Zack Ryder right now and get the crowd going. I think Jericho could've been one some time ago, though.

Really, with the breadth of the G1, I would suggest you pick out a few favourites and just watch their matches. While the quality through it all is very consistent and high, I think 30+ hours of wrestling will burn any man out sooner or later. I would recommend anything with Shinsuke, AJ and Shibata and Naito. If you really like Okada, add him too, but he is not the highlight of all this, some of the other guys outshine him I feel. e; Nagata too Another Person fucked around with this message at 17:30 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Thauros posted:Okada wasn't the MVP of the tournament, but he certainly held his own in fantastic matches with AJ and Shinsuke. Oh, he definitely had some greats. I would definitely recommend any of his matches against my listed guys there for certain. He could even drag good matches out of anyone on the card, but when two good guys face, and one of them is Nakamura or Shibata, I was far more interested.

Don't have PMs any more tho, so I couldn't really do that. I don't mind tho, not knowing how he would approach the main event of what I want to see might make it more interesting since I won't know what to expect. also, liking the new av. e; do guys who sign onto NJPW not have exclusivity contracts within Japan? Or is that just how the WWE works? I thought Nagata was a NJPW guy, and here he is in NOAH. I figured they would be more protective of their talent in a relatively closed market.

Halloween Jack posted:Do you have a video of what you're talking about? Imagine a Draron Suplex, where the dude using the move puts himself behind the other guy, puts him into a full nelson and then suplexes him. What he is discussing is basically an irish whip into that move, but without the hands being on the back of the head like a full nelson, rather the user of the move locks his arms and hands together after wrapping the arms of the opponent back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ML3SsIWVCvI That is a tiger suplex. Now imagine being whipped into that. I can see why that might get banned. Only guys of a certain size could do it without just smashing a head into the mat. The dragon suplex is safer because the leverage allows you to lift the opponent higher, and the nelson lock might also protect the head a little. But the tiger does not have that leverage or protection. Your weight and leverage is all very low in the body, while also having to hold the move tight for it to look good. Sounds like a head injury in action.

Keep in mind that death threats seem to be a common tool in ol' Corny's playbook. He has threatened to kill Lesnar before, and has threatened to kill some tinny indy promotion owner because he thinks the guy is a shitheel. While it is very funny to listen to, always take what Jim has to say with a wide berth, because it might be many levels divorced from what he really means.

Nut Bunnies posted:It is no longer held but you could always count on Unforgiven being a godawful show. They'd be coming off an at worst solid Summerslam and then they'd go into their usual bland/awful Fall season with a wretched show every September. Awful gimmick matches, bizarre finishes, dissatisfying endings. You name it, Unforgiven had it. Unforgiven 06 was worth it for Edge/Cena TLC alone. Great feud, great match. Edge probably should have won it for the sanctity of his TLC undefeated streak, but I cannot say that the match was not worth it.

Smoking Crow posted:On the other hand, if AJ broke someone's neck in WWE, he'd be released and the Styles Clash would be banned forever and ever The Style Clash does not break necks. Bad bumps break necks. Styles has been using that move for years and he has hurt two or three people, two of whom tucked their head when they shouldn't have done, and the last being a botch which happens. AJ himself has said that when he wrestles a guy he doesn't know and hasn't worked with before, one of the first things he does is runs through any moves each side might need to know how to take before stepping in the ring, including telling the person how to take a Styles Clash. The issue with the Clash isn't really delivery, it is receiving, and AJ does what he needs to do to ensure that receiving is safe. Really, the Clash is probably a safer move than many piledrivers which are used on a daily basis around the world by indies who don't know how to deliver the move safely. e; AJ said this basically all himself on the Talk Is Jericho episode with him on, which happened before the last two injuries in New Japan when it was just Lionheart Another Person fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Feb 27, 2015 |

Smoking Crow posted:You don't think that AJ would be the fallman for WWE corporate? If something like this happened in today's WWE, AJ would be out in a heartbeat. If anyone started to think he was an unsafe worker, he'd be gone. Oh, I figured this would just be another attack on the Styles Clash in terms of safety (it being dumb I understand). AJ totally would be on the chopping block if that happened in a WWE environment. But then, I'm not sure he would ever be using the Clash if he were ever in the WWE, and if he were, I think the consistent house show schedule he would be on there, working with all the guys all the time unlike he is now at NJPW, he would have gotten in enough practice and communication would be strong enough that the Clash's preparation would be discussed fully. e; if Neville were six inches taller he would not be known for what he is known for now. Flippy dos get a lot harder at that height. You can't be as confident he would be the same worker if he were on a totally different style.

AJ in all seriousness is a major contender for the single best wrestler right now just for how polished and smooth his ringwork is. I had never seen any of his stuff before his foray over to New Japan and was blown the gently caress away. I don't think Bryan has a patch on him for sheer ability.
