Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 440: These Superstars Are Literally Shaking

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nah, there was plenty of guys Russo buried that had obvious talent. Young wasn't one of them.

Did you actually watch his matches the rare times he was actually allowed to work instead of just do comedy spots wearing underwear?

So overall since WM

Raw got 16 wrestlers from SD, 5 from NXT, and 3 from Free Agency

SD got 12 wrestlers from Raw and 6 from NXT.

Big Cass is the new SD 7

I want Big Cass to come out to Enzo's theme for extra confusion.

This is officially AJ vs. Shinsuke.

There is a hypothetical scenario where by the end of Backlash, SD has

WWE
Universal
IC
US
Raw Tag
SD Tag
SD Womens

And the only title left on Raw would be Raw Womens

Yes.

I'm with Iceman on this. EY was reasonably talented, sure. But he wasn't even in the top 20% of TNA talent or anything.

And the fact that he did comedy spots forever made it seem really impressive when they let him out of that, but only by comparison. And he still wasn't nearly as good as the better serious heels like Roode...
---

Can't wait to watch this guy wrestle every Tuesday night


---

Please don't agree with me, Muffin, it makes me very uncomfortable.

In all seriousness, yeah, I'm not saying EY was bad. He's a midcard level talent that can have perfectly acceptable matches.
---

Eric Young is someone who is average in most things, but has a huge heart and it raises his level all around. Like I remember when he had that whole afraid of his pyro thing and then he had to fight for TNA itself and he power through his fears just to stand up for the company and it was a really compelling thing.
---

Is there anyone in history that got a more raw deal from Vince Russo (barring Owen if you subscribe to that of course) than Eric Young by the way?

Eric Youngs peak is going into that B+ storyline and then losing to the authority and proving they were right

Styles vs Nakamura set for GRR

This is hilarious, and it's disappointing that Becky is being misused so much. She should be up at the top with your Charlotte's and Asuka's.

Looking at SD now, is Carmella really the top heel at the moment? Tamina, Kay, Royce, and Absolution are the only other ones I can think of on SD.

The faces are very top heavy, Charlotte, Asuka, Naomi, and Becky. Seems like one of them is going to have to turn heel sooner rather than later, unless I'm missing somebody.

So I guess some shady stuff is going on with ticket sales for the Saudi Arabia show. You can only get decent seats if you bring a woman with you, and women can only get tickets if they go with a man. Then they choose your seats for you. If you are a man getting tickets without a woman, you can only get cheap seats in the back.

This is apparently because Saudi Arabia is trying to maximize the amount of women at the event on TV to show the world how progressive they are. This feels super scummy.

I HATE Vince....

And more than anything I hate that you all don't hate Vince as much as I do.

I depise he breathes, and I dispise that in a topic full of "progressive liberals" I am the only one who despises that he breathes....

He in his life, currently has ZERO redeeming qualities. None. He is one of the absolute lowest most evil men on planet Earth, and at least previously while he was killing the territories and lying about everything WCW did while doing the same, (but usually worse) you could rightly claim well, Hulkamania right is amazing, or, Austin was created out of this and he's why we watch..... That doesn't exist anymore, he has no more viable excuses for being this despicable, there is no trade off anymore, no ends justify the means.

So progressive that they refuse to allow women to perform. Do they think people are that stup... They probably will convince a lot of people.

I've learned enough about MWC's flawed logic that I can connect the dots here. He's blaming Vince for taking their money, because the goal of a business should be social awareness, not making money.

I despise Vince too, but I'm not going to wish death on the guy. I wish he'd retire and leave the decision making to people who are sane and understand what the audience wants, but I don't want anything bad to happen to him.

You think Vince isn't part and parcel to this.....

This couldn't sound like more Vince unless he said "god damn pal, let's just move all the women upfront so people will forget we left all ours at home, to clean or take care of the kids or whatever they do"
Frigging mark.

Vince is actually a lizard person cabal illuminati sect

He called you a mark! I hope you can recover from that devastation.

No.... not exactly....

The goal of a business SHOULD be to make money.

I have zero problems with that, and if this was anytime before 2014 when girls were mainly remembered for lingerie pillow fights more than anything no problem. But ever since Paige vs Emma a HUGE part of the business plan by this raging sexist has been the "women's
Revolution/evolution.

And you are the ultimate piece of shit hypocrite in the world if after 4 years of this shit you'd sell out now proving it meant nothing

Fuck you Vince!

Funny thing about the mark thing.

My buddy who is actually a wrestler will routinely joke around with his fellow wrestlers about them being marks if they do so much as mention Meltzer's name or try to talk about backstage dirt sheet stuff.

And when we talk, we will routinely call each other marks for the same thing. It's literally a joke among wrestlers to call one another marks.

In business you gotta grind and make sacrifices for a big pay day, this is a gigantic payday for the WWE and I am sure that everyone sees that and therefore are willing to accept that sacrifice.

But you're right it is that sexist bigs doing and we should all yell and pray for the day that he croaks!

Yes you should.

But I'll play along with this asinine reason for a sec....

WHAT THE HELL IS VINCE SACRIFICING?

he's sacrificing a enormous pay day for the girls. So I guess something was sacrificed... though not by their choice. But what the hell is vince sacrificing?

What is he giving up?

Thank god for Trips.

So that he was able to get his due before he died. (Poor Macho)

Hunter saved the legacies of Bruno, Cornette, Goldberg, Warrior, (maybe too much) Jarrett and Prichard. Am I missing anyone?

There is yet hope for Earl and Punk.

Maybe he can even convince Martha someday....

Wow that comes as a shock. RIP Bruno

May Roman have a 7-year reign in your honor

For whatever reason I thought Bruno was a lot older than he actually was. Still comes as a surprise since I haven't heard anything about him being in poor health.

RIP

Just came here to post about this. The craziest aspect of this is that Johnny Valiant lived down the street from Bruno and died two weeks ago.

One of the guys I worked with he said that Bruno Sammartino was his mom's first boyfriend lol. Bruno used to carry her books on the way home from middle school lol

He cant see my posts, but the answer is capitalist business with no moral center responds positively to obscene amounts of money.

The seating thing isn't totally bizarre. Certain malls and clubs don't let you in at certain times without a woman with you, and Aspire Park is often family only. I'm not at all surprised they've made that the focus. Trying to be showy about women going is very typical too. My school looked like a hospital until the day before an inspection, at which point it was suddenly painted and glammed up and had pictures and stuff added to the walls. There's a considerable "brush your teeth 8 times before going to the dentist" sort of culture. Many parents want all As on their kid's report just so they can celebrate it and show off about it, even when there's data showing that the kid absolutely isn't anywhere near an A

So yeah both the seating and the deceptive reasoning for it are not surprising whatsoever.
