sek69 Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 15 hours ago, Blehschmidt said: Several of the women are pissed off about it, Liv Morgan and Peyton Royce as well. I don't think they would normally care if this was fan made content, but this one was apparently put out by the WWE on Fox Twitter account, so the women who were ranked as being worth 1 and 2 dollars are feeling slighted. Something similar happened when Ryan Satin did a ranking of the women based on how they are used/how much they get on TV and everyone dogpiled him for ranking low the women who aren't being used or aren't on TV much. Like, I feel icky being in a position defending Satin, but if you're pissed at someone pointing out you aren't being used much it seems like your anger is being focused in the wrong direction. These incidents seem to have revealed some unhappy feelings among the women's roster in WWE and I guess since they all get programmed that nothing is the company's fault they have to lash out elsewhere.

Rah Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 Perhaps I'm missing something, but a lot of the ire seems to also relate to "valuing" women as a commodity - like property that can be traded for $$$. I don't for a second think that there isn't a huge elephant in the room when it comes to how women are treated in the industry but this seems like a weird one to blow up. There wasn't any backlash when this was done multiple times for the male wrestlers - in fact, this seems to just be an overdone meme being used again so that women are also included. There's also a "me not we" vibe to her Tweet which is incredibly problematic considering the context she is arguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted February 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 It seems Liv Morgan is dating Bo Dallas? That gives hope to the common man, to be honest. I mean, she used to date a massive prick like Enzo, and by all accounts she is a very wholesome person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 As far as I knew, Bo was married to a Swedish chick who used to be in NXT. I guess they got divorced. In any event, dude clearly knows how to punch above his weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The news article that is going around is just about how WWE is still paying Bo, and in the mean time he and Liv Morgan are starting a "family real estate business" and have a farm together. No where does it explicitly state that they are romantically inolved. They certainly could be, or they may just have two business together. I think people have seen "family business" and associated it as them being a family, when in reality I think it just means they are selling homes to families and not commercial properties. But, I could be totally off base here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NintendoLogic Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 The latest Observer says he "has a farm living with Morgan," which possibly means they're living together. Or maybe Dave meant to type "has a farm with Liv Morgan" and people jumped to conclusions based on the typo. I'd say both are equally likely.

Robert S Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 If they want to start their own business, I heard Bo has an uncle who knows a thing or two about making money running a family business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KawadaSmile Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'm conflicted. Dude has 4 of the top 5 best selling merch at the moment. Are his fans dedicated to the point they would go to the WWE Shop just to buy his stuff? Or does he have some sort of appeal even to that audience? Who knows.

PhilTLL Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 There's probably a tidy answer for this already, but doesn't WWE have to move the Thunderdome again when baseball season starts? Also, the youngest boomers using the most generous definition of the baby boom generation are now 56 years old. Most of them are old enough for Medicare and Social Security. Does WWE's demo stretch that high now or are we actually talking about Gen X? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, if you listen to Wrestling Twitter he's a nobody that's not going to make a difference, yet his merch is sellng.... so it's almost like people are just talking out of their asses. 4 minutes ago, PhilTLL said: There's probably a tidy answer for this already, but doesn't WWE have to move the Thunderdome again when baseball season starts? Yes, unless baseball delays the start of their season (the league and the players are squabbling over how many games will be played this season. WWE probably has until the end of March or the beginning of April depending on when they agree to start, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTLL Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 It seems like the regular MLB start date is a go. That would mean in about 5 weeks, between MLB, college/NBA hoops, and NHL/minor hockey, every major indoor venue in Florida will be booked up. Maybe they could use (bad Solie imitation) Tampa's Expo Hall, the beautiful Ocean Center in Daytona, the Lee County Civic Center in North Fort Myers, the Lakeland Civic Center... I'm being told the West Palm Beach Auditorium is now owned by the folks at the Jehovah's Witnesses, and we will uh, try to get confirmation on that.

Tim Evans Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Nia/Shayna vs Bianca/Sasha for the tag titles has been added to the ppv on Sunday. I'm guessing Sasha/Bianca win so they can face Dakota/Raquel as the counter to AEW on 3/3. I guess that makes sense but I wanted to see Dakota finally get revenge on Shayna.

Matt D Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 They should have done a Teddy Long thing where Miz got to be out of the Chamber but he needs to face Edge instead. Safe showcase match for Edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be weird because the way they built that whole segment on NXT Wednesday, it really felt like they're in the process of turning Dakota Kai & Raquel Gonzalez babyfaces, especially with their reactions to winning the first Women's Dusty Classic. I just feel like it would be counterproductive to bring up and build the past history between Dakota & Shayna like they did Wednesday only for "sike!" and book them against Bianca & Sasha.

If it wasn't for the stipulation that the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match only included WWE champions in it, I would've bet on Ali attacking Kofi and taking his place inside the Chamber; bringing things full circle to how KofiMania all began.
