Cromulent posted:I'm pretty sure days after Young came out, he tweeted a picture of himself in an airport holding the Divas title, so I would imagine he just has a good sense of humor and it isn't WWE putting the screws to the gay guy. Couldn't find the photos, but he first shows up wearing it around 1m10s of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADBjA-1lYec So if it is a rib, it's probably something self-generated within PTP, not Vince or someone breaking his balls.

I think it was some sort of convoluted demonstration to lay groundwork for the WCW lawsuit they were pursuing. Like, the idea that since Scott Hall was acting like Razor Ramon on WCW broadcasts, it was copyright infringement even though a more realistic way of looking at it was "Scott Hall used to work for WWE and imitated Scarface, but now he is working for WCW and imitating Scarface" but if the idea is "Scott Hall was hired to play a role for us, he left and we've filled the role but he's off playing the same role for our competition" I guess maybe they thought a judge would buy it?

Looking at them all at once, it is kind of interesting how the posters pretty accurately reflect three decades of booking philosophy and pushes. Wrestlemanias 1-8: HOGAN, HOGAN, HOGAN (plus whoever he is feuding with I guess?) Wrestlemania 9: HO-- Bret Hart? fffffff Wrestlemania 10-13: gently caress it, let's just sell it based on the name Wrestlemania basically Wrestlemania 14-17: STONE COLD, STONE COLD (and the Rock and HHH is on their level right? He isn't? poo poo.) Wrestlemania 18-21: Aww man, Rock and Austin are gone*, and to replace them we have... uh... the Wrestlemania brand again! Wrestlemania 22: JOHN CENA IS THE NEW FACE OF THE WWE Wrestlemania 23-27: Okay that's not really working let's not commit to anything and just put fifty people on every poster but let's make sure everyone realizes John Cena is #1 Wrestlemania 28-29: THE ROCK IS BACK ONLY HE AND CENA MATTER Wrestlemania 30: Okay Rock's gone, back to default * I realize that Rock was in a top match at X-8 and Austin/Rock III was at 19 and Rock tagged with Foley at 20 and Austin made a few appearances but between injuries and movies the writing was pretty much on the wall as of 18, certainly 19, that neither of them were ever going to be full time or potentially not even part-time going forward

Jerry Lynn's real name is Jerry Lynn, Jerry Flynn's name is neither Jerry nor Flynn. YOU GOT WORKED, SIGN-IN SHEET Also Scott and Rick put down their gimmick surnames. I am trying to remember which wrestler was on a podcast recently and INSISTED on calling Rick Steiner "Robbie" the entire time and the host gently tried to pipe in "you mean Rick Steiner" and the dude just wouldn't acknowledge that and go "no no no, Scott's older brother, Robbie. They were a tag team."

The best part about the Wiki article on him is that it makes it sound like he was brought into WWF just so they could have someone touted as THE WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN while Ken Patera was in prison.

SIck Boy and Lodi are apparently wrestling as "The Flock" in some southern indie, trading tag titles with the Bravado Brothers as recently as last month. Reis's last match was for Vince Russo's inaugural GLORY Christian wrestling federation, which as best as I can tell lasted two whole shows. The whole thing is worth recapping briefly: MATCH 1: Heel distraction/foreign object finish MATCH 2: Tag team partner turns heel on partner MATCH 3: Surprise heel turn run-in MATCH 4: Unannounced challenger wins via heel miscommunication MATCH 5: Jeff Jarrett runs in to cost Chris Harris an intergender match* MATCH 6: Jeff Jarrett wins clean [[Jeff Jarrett is converted to Christianity backstage]] MATCH 7: "Joshua the Carpenter" defeats EVIL (a masked Ron Reis) via Jeff Jarrett guitar shot, all glory to Jarrett *It was Kwee Wee doing a crossdressing gimmick, not sure if it was supposed to be intergender or 'intergender'

Carl "Crusher" Creel was a jailbird that Loki used to mess with Thor. He got retconned into an ex-boxer because someone in the 1980s decided he looked kind of like the guy Daredevil's dad fought. Charlie "Crusher" Hogan was the wrestler that Spider-Man beat in a shoot fight in his first appearance (which was retconned into some sort of weird Montreal Screwjob situation in a 2000s comic co-written by Raven) Harold "Happy" Hogan is an ex-boxer (also retconned into having boxed Daredevil's dad) that Tony Stark hired as a bodyguard, got married to Pepper Potts, and then died. Harold H. "HHH" Harold was a schlubby newspaper reporter who tried to get a scoop by interviewing Dracula and got the interview but also got turned into a vampire by Dracula and didn't want to whistleblow on vampires existing once he was one himself. Then later he got a gimmick change and became Elliott Gould as Philip Marlowe in The Long Goodbye, except also an android.

I thought he had some real trouble remember if UWF is supposed to be a work or shoot but I probably just hate Nick Spencer.

rovert posted:Brodus Clay getting promoted above him (I think it is called contributorship) was what made Gavin McInnes quit Fox News. Gavin was I guess a freelancer for years and got passed over time after time. Clay was the final straw. Gavin was largely a mainstream Republican or play one on TV up until that point. Immediately McInness went on the track he is now on. He had also, for what it's worth, formed the Proud Boys a solid eight months before he left Fox News, but  Also I had to check, Brodus/Tyrus *is* getting his own show but it's on Fox Nation which is just Racist Hulu it looks like. The show was announced in November 2018 so it's been cooking for over two years to let Tyrus do https://nation.foxnews.com/meet-tyrus/ Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Mar 7, 2019 |

rovert posted:Words matter. And yes Brodus was the reason McInnes quit. I do understand that you're probably basing this on a game of telephone where (after being let go from Fox in large part because he had started the Proud Boys and literally the week after he encouraged his Proud Boys to use violence against protesters at NYU and after a decade of being a lovely white supremacist) he posted a video explaining that he "quit" Fox News because of Tyrus, in the sense that in this video (which I am linking for evidence but surely do discourage people from clicking) he says: quote:That's the new Fox News contributor? That loving wrestler? That's it, I quit! I quit Fox News. Jesus Christ, I don't know how many times I've seen women and gays and blacks just go *rocket noise* past me. I am done with that loving station. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 05:21 on Mar 7, 2019 |
