Fans of wrestling thread

God Bless Lacey Evans trying to play ball with this confusing bullshit. I do laugh my ass off when she leaves them hanging after the entrance with the patriotic Country Music.

Oh shit! I got that game too. On my XBOX Series X. Haven't played it yet but bought it immediately after watching the trailer.
Those were good times - when a game could give the people what they wanted (Hot women wrestling in skimpy outfits with lots of boob jiggling and gratuitous camera angles), and not have to worry about the PC/Woke police raising a hissy fit.

I got Dead Or Alive 1-7 also. Those are fun games full of ample breasted Japanese cartoon lady figurine animes doing jumping jacks and picking up dimes off'a tile floors while valiantly engaging in battle.

PC/Woke people just make things less fun and more expensive. Bleeding hearts care about certain people as long as they don't come within 40 miles of them. Fact. I knew a guy from the Skakel family who I played football with in college. His family paid him a lot of money as long as he never made a visit. You guessed it... he's a bum.

What do you make of Aliyah pinning the wrong girl for the title? It was pretty chaotic and it doesn't seem like many fans (including me) even caught on to the fact that Io was the legal wrestler. Was it a legit mistake, or some really crafty booking?

Couldn't tell 'ya cuz I probably slept through it. Aliyah is a cute girl but she does not belong in a wrestling ring.

Why does Raquel remind me of a happy cartoon donkey when she smiles?
 

It's a testament to the Rock how he can take a lame, weak ass move like that and make it one of the most iconic in the business.

It's how the move is displayed. Why can Ron Garvin knock a guy out with one punch while bigger guys hit a guy ten times with less result? Jake Roberts used to put guys away with a single DDT. He displayed it as a devastating finisher. Now the DDT is sometimes not even a set-up move. Stan Hansen's Lariat is a legendary big ole Clothesline.

For sure, it's the showmanship. But as you can hear from the clip, it did not get a warm reception from the start (and it shouldn't - it really is a weak-ass move). I'm hoping Young Rock covers how he got the crowd to buy into the move.
 
Jim Cornette was talking about worked punches. He mentioned slowing things down showcasing your move so the crowd can absorb it. Selling has just as much to do with it. When you go 100 MPH with too many high spots and bunch of false finishes the individual moves lose importance while any psychology gets thrown out of the window. Too much hotshotting having to outdo yourself from week to week with a greater number of injuries as a result.
 
True. Telegraphing to the crowd what's coming next is a great way to get a reaction. Obviously useless in a real fight, but it's satisfying for fans to have that second or so when you see that setup for a finisher or signature mood. Anything from a guy dangling from the middle rope against Mysterio, or when Bubba slaps D'von and say "Get the tables"!

It's basically:
 
or when Bubba slaps D'von and say "Get the tables"!

Sure better doing it that way then just walking out and grabbing a table. There was a build to the finale which adds the excitement and drama.

Ric Flair used to say, "Noooooow we go to school!", while he had ahold of a guy's leg right before putting on The Figure Four. NWA had great jobbers who sold well for Flair putting him over big time.
 
This is why you don't put people on TV, or even YouTube, until they are ready to be seen by the mass public. Would you take a kid 2 months into Law School and suggest a respected firm to hire him to immediately represent clients claiming he'll figure out the rest of what he needs to know in court during the trial? Green is green and that type of green ain't money.

You can literally see it in her eyes that she lost her train of thought. Maybe they can play off this and make all of her promos non-sensical?

But to your point, a kid 2 months into law school WOULD get hired by a law firm where daddy or mommy is a partner. Similarly, I guess this Marina is a legacy wrestler? Something about her parents immigrating to Albany? Legacy wrestlers get a long leash and get on the fast track. Orton, Charlotte, etc are all good examples.

Nobody got done any favors here and this is your first impression of Marina cutting a promo. A good promoter or director highlights a person's strengths but tries to hide their weaknesses. Paul Heyman did a great job at this in ECW. He got the most out of his talent without exposing their negatives. You don't need to see how the sausage is made to be able to enjoy it when it gets onto your plate.

I hope I don't meet with that law firm and they dispatch the mail boy as my lead attorney.

Remember that "Journey to the outerworld" on Impact I posted a couple weeks ago?
This week, you have ...this.

I appriciate the creativity, but what are the guys at TNA smoking these days?
 
Wrestling has way too may Japanophiles running around. Now we respectfully give tribute to tentacle porn.

I don't watch Impact so I don't know what's going on over there. I actually DVR Impact but end up deleting it after not watching it.
