Cardio is one of the least important things in wrestling to me.
-
I think the thought is that if someone has no lucha it'll counterbalance my no Japanese ballot. I have so much UK watching to do though.
-
Alexa Bliss can be the CEO.
-
The problem is also not the curtain call in and of itself. It's the combination of the curtain call and all of the backstage stuff they now reveal. The ground is shaky underfoot because of what they're doing. Don't stomp around on it.
-
Is some of the issue the subtitles?
-
I thought that was implied in the "from Texas" part of your character's name.
-
I'm way behind here but Will getting all offended that people doubted his history knowledge and then when he started to bring it, everyone just no-selling him and moving on, cracked me up. -
I found Bayley directing traffic before the match so that she could do her pose in the side of the ring Sasha and the ref were in kind of amusing. That just brought it to mind. Sasha was very agreeable to that.

Vince would love ol' Johnny. Salt of the Earth. Target Audience.

The moment that the internet gave Hunter a fruit basket was the night the line was crossed.
-
In the set up promo to the Sasha vs Bayley stuff it bugged me a bit how much they hyped being the best at "woman's wrestling" instead of just wrestling, if that made sense. It didn't seem real to their characters.
-
Also, they can make a delineation on screen. Sasha giving Izzy her flowers is okay. Them showing it as part of the live special would not be not ok. Them showing it on a backstage special is maybe ok. The curtain call was okay. Them showing it on a backstage special was probably okay. Them showing it on the live special was probably not ok.

I would have bitched if they had showed Sasha giving Izzy the flowers. What they did show, I was okay with.

Maybe he heard Ray Stevens tell it once. -

I haven't been posting about it but I've been working my way through things lately. A few Zoltan Boscik matches. A bunch of Cortez. Liberal amounts of breaks. I'm just getting a sense of things still. -

I watched the 26 min Jones vs Finlay match last week. I'm ready to watch some more Jones now. -
I'm super high on the finishing stretch of the main but as a whole, it might have been overly ambitious. In general, I agree with Will. Some great moments. Not nearly as strong a total package as their last match. The heeling on Izzy was really striking. All that said, the post match stuff was one of those things WWE does so well. They made it feel like an unquestionable success. Sasha collapsing was a way more emotional moment than the horsewomen thing to me.

I know that Bayley has watched the Rude ones from the 90s and that's the most distinct spot.

Observer HOF prediction/ballot question thread
Matt D replied to dkookypunk43's topic in Megathread archive
Usually (as much as I hate the fact) I don't think that the work you guys do moves the needle too much. Here, though? Colon seems like he just needs a few more votes, so maybe it's enough. -
I predict that Sasha is going to get intentionally dq'd in order to pick up a fall.
-
Jerry Jarrett in the 90s was basically a mercenary. It's in his nature.
-
You guys basically need to settle all of this by having Chris Harrington be in charge of attendance numbers.
-
I want to see Chris talk about Sting
-
They're ironic heels. They were mocking Cena's genuine nature and his charity work?
-
I will admit that I am missing the daily uploads. Got spoiled.
