I mean isn't part of Maki's whole thing being a loser? Jade squashing her would just be helping the gimmick and getting her more sympathy with the fans. :colbert:

What happened to Lana? When Miro was still in the company, she was frequently bringing up how hard he worked and how the company never rewarded him or recognized his efforts and now all of a sudden she's just...

'If I work hard and put in the effort surely I'll get rewarded for it!'

I can only imagine how awful Miro must feel for her.

Ryback was literally just a Goldberg ripoff with a guy who could do a half convincing Goldberg impression. Of course kids loved him and of course WWE hosed it up by not pulling the trigger and having him lose in a feud with Cena and Punk and then turn heel.

I mean it was probably for the best since Ryback is awful but still.

Remember when Ryback did the Jackhammer that one time and everyone loved it so they told Ryback never to do the Jackhammer again?

The WWE, everyone!

Mickie James revealed a few days ago that she submitted a ton of ideas to the WWE over the past couple years in a desperate bid to be used, since they had her sitting in catering. All of them got turned down.

One of them was a pitch for an all women's show but she got turned around because 'Evolution was our lowest rated ppv ever and women's wrestling doesn't draw'.

Yeah. :sigh:

On the other hand, the WWE is swimming in money at the moment, so who gives a gently caress if one show doesn't do as well as the others if it's doing something as reasonable as giving women a true platform to become star performers in their own right. The WNBA has been a money loser its entire existance, but the NBA knows the importance of keeping women engaged in the sport, so it continues to prop it up. Same should be true with wrestling.

Yeah. The last few years have been the most profitable years in the company's history and they have a ton of women who just...aren't doing anything.

I can't imagine it would take much time or money out of their pockets to give the women a showcase hour every week. You've got them all sitting around in catering anyway, why not fuckin' use them? Try it out and see what happens.

I mean, they keep 205 Live around, so...

And that guy later went on Jerry Springer - in that period before it was crash TV - I believe as part of an episode about crushes from high school and where were they now? They brought this woman on, and showed this picture of him as a teenager when he was just skin and bone, and that was the clip WWF sent them to use for “here’s what he does for a living now!”

Then the dude came out looking like he ate his high school self, and as a joke dropped to one knee like he was going to propose to her. Crowd popped for it.

lol Mickie James did something similar. She was on a 'Nerd to Knockout' episode of Jenny Jones and confronted her high school bullies.

However, just flat out saying 'school is dumb' is pretty....dumb. I mean, it sort of makes sense with his in and out of ring personality, but still, pretty lame thing to say.

Literally every person I have encountered who says 'lol math is dumb why do I need it?" is actually saying, "This math does not apply to my interests or area of learning" or "I do not even want to try to learn this because it makes my head hurt and do not want to put in the effort."

The point of learning math past the basics isn't to learn math, it's to learn how to look at a problem and begin figure out to solve it. It builds your thinking and problem solving skills. :eng101:

If I recall correctly, she got stuck with a 5 year ban the same way Speedball did, but I think bigger companies are hesitant to bring her in now because she's had multiple strokes.

Nash is the best part of the Dead Or Alive movie (based on the video game), although that's not saying much. He plays the faux-Hogan character who's just really happy and supportive of his daughter. (I will say that that movie is arguably the most accurate video game movie adaptation ever, and is a very good 'get drunk/high and riff on like MST3K film'.)

The Dead or Alive movie is good. Dead or Alive's barely got a story anyway and what's there is dumb as bricks anyway, so the movie just going 'this poo poo is stupid let's just go nuts with it' instead of taking it super seriously is pretty nice.

I do think it's funny they managed to work in a volleyball scene though. :allears:

e: If it was possible for a match to have too much psychology it was that series.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of clicking the trending topic and there's a whooole lot of people screaming 'OH SO NOW PEOPLE DON'T LIKE GARGANO AND CIAMPA'S FEUD BUNCH OF FAKE FANS HOW DARE YOU TURN ON THEM' etc etc.

Look I love Cage but he's been one of the more strongly booked guys in the company. He's been in a bunch of high profile matches and has won a fair number of them, has something like an 80% win rate in the company, and has been a pretty constant TV presence since his debut.

He hasn't had the best booking lately but a lot of that has to do with Ricky being hurt I think.

If he's really this upset about his situation, he needs to log off and go talk to Tony Khan, who at this point has a reputation for doing whatever he has to in order to make his wrestlers happy. Surely they can work something out to showcase Brian better?
