    Well there's an image more horrifying than anything election day can bring.

    WWE producing = they control the narrative = not worth watching IMO.

    Knowing Vince, I would pretty much guarantee he felt Smothers and Anthony were too "southern rasslin'' but at the same time realized they were the type of guys the competition at the time could use to program potential new stars with. I suppose Vince might have felt some kind of threat from Smoky Mountain being bankrolled by a famous record producer, as he tends to when he thinks there's someone who might be able to compete with him financially.

    Not only that, but he was also presumably with the Bachelorette girl (or at least he was pursuing her) after proposing as well. I know his gimmick is that he's a lothario, but they do it so heavy handed (like everything in WWE) it comes off as comedy.

    Good lord, putting her in a match with Nia? They really are trying to kill Lana.

    Lord, we're going to do the endless "MITB guy attempts to cash in but is thwarted" deal again.

    Aussie Rules was always my go to 2am TV appointment viewing. Also apparently the real Tony Modra is none to happy over these developments.

    As someone who's wife battles with anxiety on a regular basis, I can sympathize with how much it sucks for someone like her who is really good at a thing that also seems to be a trigger for her. I wouldn't be surprised if she popped up on an indie show here and there occasionally, wresters never fully retire until they die after all, but it's clear at this point that working for a major promotion just isn't in the cards for her. At least it's been nice to see people in the business supporting her on social media, if nothing else as a reminder that sometimes pro wrestling as an industry isn't always complete shit.

    I for one am kind of looking forward to the familiar predictability of RAW continually stepping on their own dicks before the hellscape that gets unleashed tomorrow. I kind of feel like a condemned man at peace with his fate and in full "fuck it, lets see what happens" mode.

    I'll never get why Billy Travis got pushed as much as he did. Jeff is understandable for obvious reasons and he at least eventually grew into his push, but Billy was Just A Guy his entire career but always seemed to have a role higher on the card than his talent would seem to warrant.

    They're totally going to do the "good girl gone bad" deal with Aliyah aren't they? That whole segment gave me "early 2000 Steph" vibes.

    We're not even to Halloween yet and I'm already beyond tired of all the FIGHT FOR YOUR BRAND AT SURVIVOR SERIES talk.

    If you can judge a person by the impact they left on others, Tracy was a great guy. Seems like he never missed an opportunity to give young folks advice/support and not in a "do it the old timer way or it sucks" style that so many veterans utilize, He just seemed so happy to be able to go do some pro rasslin', no matter if it was on a major company show or some rinky dink indy in front of 50 peopl

    I for one look forward to him being promoted to the main roster and renamed Herman Finkelbottom just so they can have him sign a new deal to shut down his Twitch. I'm only half joking since we all know they are more than petty enough to do that.
  15. sek69
    Also it's something to see everyone shutting down their Twitch and apparently a meeting is scheduled for today. It would be both such a 2020 thing and such a WWE thing if after all the bullshit it's streaming video games that finally was the last straw for people.

    I mean, if "we have to change one of our talent's names so Google searches don't bring up sexual assault allegations and lawsuits" is an issue your company has to deal with, perhaps it's a sign you might want to have some serious conversations.

    Per the WWE website Matt Riddle lost his first name and is now just RIDDLE.

    It actually was the better show IMO at least, but yeah I'm sure the nostalgia was the big draw here.

    Shotzi can def run me over with her tank anytime.

    I seem to recall CM Punk saying when he was in WWE his contract gave the company rights to his name in terms of exclusive rights to merchandising and whatnot, but that he still had ownership of the name itself.I can't imagine WWE would give special dispensation to someone as....shall we say.....prickly as Punk, so if they really had Dusty over a barrel like that it makes it even more sad (and kind of explains why Cody is so hellbent on getting his IP back).
  21. sek69
    WWE can't possibly own Dusty's name can they? He used it before ever going to WWE or any company WWE purchased.

    Lumis would be great in a role like what Jake Hager has in the Inner Circle, just stand behind the leader of the faction and look intimidating while being the heavy in a tag match.

    Also this. It's been sort of mind boggling to me how little it gets mentioned how Rhea was the top star on the brand and it was flushed down the tubes to give Charlotte another Mania Moment that didn't even end up being all that great because it ended up in the PC instead of a stadium. I suppose there's probably folks in the company who don't think she can handle being a big star due to the issues rovert mentioned, but god damn that was some promotional malpractice.
  24. sek69
    To be fair, Lumis was already doing basically the same gimmick in TNA/Impact under his real name. WWE just tweaked it to be less "possible sex predator" and more "possible serial killer". He's one of the rare few people that WWE probably is the best place for him to be. He's really good at his character, and unlike Bray it doesn't hold him back in the ring. Hell, if anything it was Cameron Grimes's overacting that was hurting the match for me. Instead of being a character in a horror film trying to escape the monster, he was hamming it up to the point William Shatner would probably tell him to reign it in a little.

    Since my son is obsessed with Nightmare Before Christmas, I enjoyed Johnny and Candice's Jack and Sally costumes.
