Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Johnny Sorrow replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
Miss Elizabeth, Stacy Keibler, Torrie Wilson, Judy Bagwell etc etc. Youre generalizing againThere are exceptions, and I don't count "miss" as a name. -
Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling
Johnny Sorrow replied to Luchaundead's topic in Pro Wrestling
As a former strip club DJ, I can tell you that two word names stunk because: 1. They didn't roll off the tongue. 2. The girls created personas based on one name. It was easier to get them over with one name for the marks to recognize and refer to.As well as giving the marks the feeling that they already knew them personally cause they knew their "name". 3. And a one word name was far fucking easier to write on the board in the booth to determine order of stage work. Pro Wrestling and Strip Clubs are so fucking similar, I've said it ever since I worked at one. -
Your Favourite Episode of Wrestling Television
Johnny Sorrow replied to JaymeFuture's topic in Pro Wrestling
I love the Worldwide that started with a clip of Magnum getting splashed from the top rope by Kamala, had Paul Jones getting a delivery of a Dog Collar from Jimmy Valiant via a little long haired kid, Nikita killing David Crockett with a sickle, and then ending with Flair running into the ring while Nikita was beating up a loser, to avenge David. Fucking ruled. -
Separate But Equal?: The ultimate goal of Feminism in wrestling

Rusev on its own sounds bad ass. Neville on its own sounds the opposite of bad ass. And The Big Show is definitely better than The Giant. I remember when he debuted as "The Giant" and thinking that it was THE most unimaginative name ever. It'd be like calling Lord Littlebrook "The Midget". -
[2016-04-21-WWE-Smackdown] A.J. Styles vs The Miz
Johnny Sorrow replied to GOTNW's topic in April 2016
Miz has gotten so good and it's annoying how some people just cant get past old feelings to see what's right in front of them. -

The guys in Los Boriquas were just billed as "Jesus" "Jose", and "Miguel" for a blip. -
Do you really think that the George Steele bits were actually how mental illness was looked at in the Eighties? 😂
-
Watching RAW, Vaudevillians and Dudleys vs New Day and Big Cass fucking ruled.
-
Yet these same zilches aren't complaining about Asuka and Nak ? 😄
-
On Jericho's show last week, Sami said this was Neville's first injury.
-
Yeah, Jose is fun. So, is there some stupid dork backlash about guys coming there from TNA and getting pushes and not the so called "deserving" Indy guys? I haven't seen it here but apparently this is a thing? 🙄
-
Well for one thing, it was an epidemic everywhere and it's not like Pat was running around fucking everyone he could. From all accounts he had a long time partner.

Dillinger has a great job. He can be a good guy or a bad guy and he's their trusted guy to help guys learn to work the style demanded, while still managing to stay over. He's going to have a career in the WWE at this point. Which rules. Not everyone is going to have a career of being a guy on the main roster. The guys who see beyond that and realize there are other options are the smartest "workers".
-
With the exception of my pants, yeah. Edit: That joke stunk. 😆

Jimmy Valiant's elbow drop .

I'm sure Vince digs Byron because he's good looking and he has both an athletic background, ( he was a wrestler for a bit in FCW/ NXT), and he has a legit broadcasting background. He's that good looking suit who does the local news. And he can be good, but this total Melvin , geek, guy who acts like a total zero who wants a safe space character he's doing is the fucking worst. I want him to snap and go full school shooter .

That's code for "she wouldn't take it in the dumper".

PTBN Reaction Show: Payback 2016
Johnny Sorrow replied to Bigelow34's topic in Publications and Podcasts
I know. I feel so bullied and abused. Can't I have a safe space? Words hurt. -
Next to J-B-I love puro and Otto Wanz-L and Michael Cole? I don't really see it.Have you listened to him? He comes off as a dweeb, a dork, a wimp.
-
Them making fun of Byron isn't because he's black, it's because comes off like a giant nerd.

How much do narratives shape how we think about workers?
Johnny Sorrow replied to JerryvonKramer's topic in Pro Wrestling
So basically, is the role an actor..I'm sorry..wrestler ... plays if that role is permanent part of how he or she is perceived? Yeah. It is. It's supposed to be. -
Maybe it's bad camera work and bad sleight of hand . Chris Adams' superkick always had the sound coming from the thigh slap but you never saw it.
-
Burr grew up in Boston during the Seventies and likes to reminisce about Garea, Zybysko, Strongbow, etc. He's also one of the funniest stand ups alive.

How about "The Bad Idea" ? 👍
