If you didn't figure that out with WrestleMania 7 then I just don't know how to explain it.

Well, have you Americans ever considered watching sports that aren't poo poo?

When you are the world's largest economy, you can decide which sports are and are not poo poo. But unless you're Chinese that's not in the cards. I hope you like basketball.

The way they did it to keep the company logo centered in the frame is more blatant than the most obvious product placement.

Now that there's finally some space since The Great Roman Push I mostly just feel bad for the guy. They hosed him up in every way possible.

He didn't do himself any favors in the press. Saying people boo you because they are jealous of how much money you make working three days a week? Whoops.

Given that pretty much every top guy in WWE has said some variation of this for the past 20 years I think it's what Vince has instructed them all to say.

So, him and John Cena?

I don't think intergender matches are a good fit for the WWE style, because every WWE match has the same formula where the heel spends most of the match smacking the face around and wearing them down. And even if the face wins at the end, seeing some large man stand over a woman and grind a boot into her joints for long stretches of time isn't very much fun.

Oh definitely. There is no match that is served well by the WWE style, intergender or otherwise. They can't do anything correctly.

They accentuate flaws and hide strengths like nobody else

RealFoxy posted:

No company should be booking matches like that.

Sure, but "no company should be booking matches like that" describes HOW much of WWE, exactly?

Someone here said that wrestling was like a fighting game in real life. In fighting games women and men fight all the time. If WWE went full on "this is fiction" I could see intergender wrestling being more common.

Now you made me imagine how unfun a fighting game where you fight shittier the less health you have and where you can just keep hitting people on the ground would be

sports bars in my city put it on the tvs, seems like a sport to me

They also show Seinfeld reruns, but seeing how many shrimp you can fit in your mouth is closer to a sport than driving a car or playing a video game.

He likes them to be very strong and beat everyone because that's what he likes to imagine himself as. He also thinks shittily bullying people is what a face does because he is a lovely bully.

I thought Alison Mack was that Nickelodeon show about the girl who gets super powers. Was very surprised how dark that show got.

Yeah it's definitely the forum's fault, not the bad product.
