Sanguinia posted:This. I love when Kevin Owens refuses to do moves and takes his opponents on a trip to Chinlock City Bitch, but I love it because it's a fitting move for his character. Yes, it's objectively a heel tactic designed to get you to boo him, but I don't boo him because "Arg, I want cool moves," which is the traditional understanding off heel psychology. I boo him because his character is an rear end in a top hat and he makes me hate him, and excessive chinlocks are an extension of that persona and it's relationship to the audience just like rolling out of the ring constantly is. His corner cannonball is a "cool move," and it gets a ton of boos. Johnny Mundo had a good discussion on Steve Austin's podcast this week about ring psychology, and he said one of the approaches he takes in terms of face/heel psychology is "The face gives the crowd what they want; the heel takes that away." I thought that was neat. It doesn't have to be avoiding entertaining stuff. Not doing your high-flying moves is certainly one way to not give the crowd what they want. But there are also other ways, it's not just moves and anyone who gets locked in that mindset is boiling it down to just one aspect of what you can do. Interestingly enough, Austin and Mundo both agreed that they actually felt more free to experiment with moves as a heel, since if something sucked they weren't messing up at being the perfect hero.

STAC Goat posted:Like, yeah, its silly to call NWA a major promotion. But its NWA doing it so you know... I'm willing to just laugh and roll my eyes at that self aggrandizing. And then any one in the space between AEW/ROH and NWA is just kind of "eh, do we really wanna argue that Impact is a major promotion?" Mexico is part of North America so even that doesn’t work (Omega is under 40 and still holds the AAA belt). Would have to specify United States only.

ShallNoiseUpon posted:https://twitter.com/ryansatin/status/1247979400873697280 Jake's "quarantined" in a hotel room, because DPP told Jake that if Jake did the AEW appearance, he couldn't come back into DDP's place for a couple weeks because there is a baby there: quote:Jake also revealed he’s currently quarantined in an Atlanta hotel room for a few weeks following his last live appearance on Dynamite in the makeshift crowd of talent. Leave it to Satin to make it sound like Jake is showing symptoms or anything. And not to mention from the article: quote:AEW has reportedly filmed content to last the next few weeks, while WWE is reportedly set to resume filming at the Performance Center soon to film another batch of footage.

Alls well that ends well. He said in that article that he felt he had to do it because he "wanted to help those guys," so aside from wanting to prove himself, he may just like the idea of helping the new promotion succeed.

MassRafTer posted:It's much, much safer to tape 2 months of shows in 2 days than to fly wrestlers in three times a week for 2 months. It's not even in the same league of risk. AEW used a limited roster for two days, WWE is using almost the same amount of wrestlers every freaking live broadcast! And on top of that taped a Smackdown they never even used because Vince mandated live shows! So those wrestlers and crew risked being in the building all day because of Vince. On top of which, looking at who is there and who isn't, I'm a lot more confident that AEW's "stay home if you aren't comfortable being here" thing is legit. Like, they've been missing half of their tag team champs, their women's champion, Santana and Ortiz who were major parts of the Inner Circle angles, Matt and Nick after the first week, two-thirds of their announce team, their ring announcer...it seems to go up and down the roster on who is voluntarily not there, and for a lot of those people there's no particular indication that they were at any special risk. Meanwhile, the people who are there are a lot of front office people and their friends and family who would be in contact with each other anyway -- you got Kenny and Cody, Brandi (Cody's wife), Dustin (Cody's brother and a coach), QT Marshall who is involved on the front end and a coach, a bunch of people from QT's school which is where they were taping anyway, Billy Gunn who is a trainer and his son, etc. On top of that there's a couple of young dudes who would probably be pissed if you told them they couldn't be there (Darby who is local to Atlanta anyway, Sammy), and some new debuts who are eager to show their stuff -- Archer, Brodie Lee. And Brodie said they specifically told him he could wait to debut if he didn't want to do it in empty arenas. I know that doesn't make it much more safe, but there's something to be said for assumption of risk in all this. I have a lot less confidence that WWE would be okay with someone just saying "I'm not sick and I don't have any underlying conditions, but I don't want to come because I just don't feel safe." There's already rumors floating around that Vince is pissed at Roman, and Roman has all the reason in the world not to be risking it.

So yes, he is ironically praising a group for doing unpaid labor. Beyond the obvious tone of the tweet, knowing rovert's actual political opinions and feelings on the exploitation of wrestlers makes it even more obvious. rovert posts so much stupid, toxic garbage that it's not worth the mental energy to figure which of his posts are supposedly "ironic humor" and which should be taken at face value it's sifting through poo poo to find other, different forms of poo poo

Joey Ryan and Sienna talk about consent during a match: https://youtu.be/HpgQ3NYAFQI I’ve never heard any of the women who have worked with him say anything negative about him, and that includes women like Ivelisse and Taya who aren’t shy about speaking their minds. He also frequently responds to twitter trolls calling the dick flip stuff gay with “what’s wrong with being gay?” STAC Goat posted:I mean, there's definitely something "weird" about it but I dunno. Like that seems like its verging into the idea that he's "the patriarchy" and the crowd is society pushing people to do something they don't want to do. And I just don't think Joey Ryan is really that deep. And most cases I've seen the opponent is in the heel role grabbing Joey's dick as a cheap move or to prove they're stronger. Mostly I think Joey is just an idiot who wanted to "Hulk Up" with his dick. Joey is the heel a lot of the time but in those cases the face usually accidentally stumbles into it or goes for it as a test of strength. But you’re basically right about the hulk up with his dick part, although it wasn’t even something he came up with. I’m sure most have heard this story, but it was originally a spot Danshoku Dino told him to do to play off the stereotype in Japan that Americans have big dicks. Then the spot went viral and Joey ran with it, not even expecting it to last. He did an interview about it here: https://411mania.com/wrestling/joey-ryan-details-the-origin-of-his-penis-flip-and-how-it-went-viral-talks-treating-it-seriously-in-the-ring/ Joey’s gimmick is questionable in this day and age but I wouldn’t lump him in with a slime like Cornette.

I could be wrong, but I don’t particularly feel like Charlotte has some deep, untapped well of talent that is being wasted by the way WWE books her. It’s not like she’s been stuck doing midcard comedy routines that don’t fit her.
