i posted it in the old thread but john cena is the only wrestler at the true volcel end of the spectrum. below that is "fucks, but not distracted by horniness". also it is a scale for wrestling characters, not real life performers, unless there is a young lion who is canonically his son. which i would gladly accept.

It's not whether the man is, it's how he wrestles. Does Tanahashi wrestle like he wants to gently caress something/someone right after the match? No, he wrestles with a purity of fighting spirit.

Like Randy Savage, Brock Lesnar, Scott Steiner, wrestled like horny men. I'd argue that while Fregal Devitt might be volcel, Finn wrestles with a will to pin.

And I'm glad that they added the stip that Charlotte, Ronda and Becky must wrestle nicely, just so they'd explode harder. I'm sorry, they thought this was America.

From what I understand, the wrestling journalist guys like Meltzer have asked and have all been assured over and over again that the idea really, genuinely, 100% is Corbin/Angle, but the idea is so terrible that all of them keep saying,"Well, they're saying it is.... but.... I mean seriously can it really be... I mean, they say it is.... but seriously? REALLY? I guess it is because they say so... but REALLY?"

I keep hoping Angle is gonna repeat the Cena debut by beating Corbin in seconds and cut a promo asking if this is really the best he can get, and then Cena comes out to show him... RUTHLESS AGGRESSION.

I keep hoping.... :negative:

Yeah, I feel like WWE is trying a bit TOO hard to sell the idea that it's actually Corbin, along with the reported "no, Cena DOES have something to do at 'Mania, but it's being kept top secret', for there not to be some sort of swerve going on there. It just feels like when Jericho would go "no, seriously, i'm not coming back" so loudly and so often that everyone finally just went "right, so you're coming back."

See, I feel like this is exactly what they want. They know Corbin gets lukewarm reactions, this way there's a ton of heat on him for eating Angle's retirement match and they're playing explicitly into that.

It's not particularly GOOD heat, but that's not a thing they've ever cared about.

scott steiner is a legendary wrestler on the horny spectrum. im honestly a little torn on brock after posting the original graph. i know i said this is supposed to be about wrestling characters, not performers, but brock the man and brock the character are hard to separate for me. like, in-ring, he gives me the impression that he is satisfied to throw suplexes, collect vinces money, and go home and have sex with sable. which, absolute respect to that, man. i cannot poke any holes in that. but also, that is not a man who is distracted by his horniness.

Either that or WWE really does think he's a great final opponent for Kurt. I'm not sure which ones sadder.

No last Rey/Kurt match is disappointing, though. This whole retirement tour has been the most obvious need to retire we've ever seen.

That whole segment was superb but I really do think her going full trash and trying to steal the cop car was the icing on the cake.

That and the brief pause as Becky and Ronda realize they've been left alone together and are free to kick the poo poo out of each other :kiss:

I like that they made it winner gets both titles in the women's main event, was hoping that'd be the route to raise those stakes and make me afraid that Charlotte's gonna win it. It makes zero story or real life sense for Rousey to win here, but I also like that it gives her an added stake in the match beyond just retaining the title she has.

I really feel like even WWE can't be stupid enough to spoil the first women's main event by having the bigger of the two heels win.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
The brawl was pretty darn cool It feels like the WWE still has one of these huge fun brawls in them once a year at least. Also I like them treating the third hour as a throwaway, I hope that stays the trend. I guess it doesn't matter in a world where I fast forward past most of the show anyway but if I'm ever stuck watching live it'll be nice to know I can zone out on the third hour.

the big raw brawl reminded me of the cool and silly time where ambrose and harper were having a hardcore(?) match on a PPV and brawled into a car and drove off. The show continued with a couple more matches, before the car returned and they both got out and continued the match. It was so goofy and so great :allears:

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.
