jesus WEP posted:”please be more ethical and give money to Sinclair instead” Is there even a way to give Sinclair money to watch something like Glory By Honor V? You can watch Danielson vs KENTA on Youtube & I guess they'll get a fraction of a penny in advertising money but other than you either  the show or you buy a 2nd hand DVD. I have no idea how much of the Gabe era is even available on Honor Club yet. I know they've said they will get there eventually but that was in February and I doubt they have made much headway as they'd need to do a lot of editing on stuff like entrance music. Don't even know if they got to 2010 and that was past the point they stopped using real songs.I have no idea how much money I've given to WWE. If you include gifts people got me as a kid then a fair amount because there were VHSs, books, the official WWF magazine on occasion, I had a Hulk Hogan poster on the wall that might've come with a magazine but might have been a separate purchase. But even as an adult I've bought a few of their DVDs (I definitely had the Dusty one, think I had a Flair one & some assorted other stuff) & I was a Network subscriber for a while at least. Never been to a live show but still probably £150-£250 at a guess? And that ignores when a friend let me use their password for a good while so I could watch old Raws & Nitros & 90s PPVs. Which probably is a lot less than most people seeing as I've never seen them live & never bought a PPV.

Quantum of Phallus posted:An actual book written by Dave Meltzer sounds like such a horrible idea. I love his reporting and radio show but his actual technical skills as a writer are abysmal. God bless the poor editor who gets to deal with Dave's handed in manuscript.

jesus WEP posted:if you post in d&d at all you deserve what you get UKMT is a good thread  For real, if not for that thread I almost certainly stop using SA years ago, and probably don't start lurking in this subforum & end up hearing about Jericho in New Japan & deciding to sub to NJPW World & reigniting my love of wrestling & turn into someone who watches far too much puro. So I will defend that thread, crisps chat & all. Rest of D&D? Garbage. (Actually the EU thread is mostly interesting & when the French & Italy threads are active they are quite good too.)

Tonfa posted:This is NJPW's default mode of things, while the loser of the match is still a crumbled heap and the champ is celebrating their victory the next guy comes out with "I won a high profile match tonight and that's why I'm next" (or w/e their claim is), and if the challenger has a solid claim the match is made right then. The problem with this booking is it only works in a company where wins & losses matter to some extent.

It should go without saying that no one should be running wrestling shows in Florida right now. Especially if you've got people flying in & out of the state for tapings. I get that they'll keep doing it because nobody is going to stop them but holy poo poo this endangering their employees, their "independent contractors", but also just the people who might end up on a plane with someone flying to the PC from Vegas or wherever, & their own friends & family.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Nobody should be running shows You're almost certainly right but I've only heard about how badly Florida is doing rather than how the rest of the US is coping so didn't want to speak out of turn. But certainly I agree with the sentiment.

skaboomizzy posted:Florida just announced over 8900 new cases today. This is very impressive. The UK, which has 3 times the population of Florida, reported 1,004 positive tests conducted in the UK over a 24 hour period as of 9am today. Well done Florida. You're worse than this poorly run shithole island.

Jerusalem posted:This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen (the people who called it that, not your post!). Dave mentioned on WOR on Wednesday (maybe Tuesday?) that basically yes, the wrestlers should be quarantining 14 days after returning from Florida. So WWE aren't just risking the lives of their employees/contractors & their families but also entire states. Real cool company.
