Re: Mandy Rose reportedly released from WWE

I've now seen the particular video that has done the rounds, she's in the pool topless and is just generally chatting to the camera. Apparently Matt Bloom was sent the video and he immediately told Triple H which lead to this. Let's not forget that this is the same company that once pushed several ...

Re: Lessons learned from watching every WWF show from the year 2000

- I'd have pushed T&A more, but I think they came in one of WWF's golden eras for tag teams with the Hardyz, Dudleys, Edge & Christian and other over teams like the APA & Too Cool and I can see why they went cold. Just starting to read this now, but I have to say, when I saw the beginni...

It’s also the sort of attitude that would have me heading on over to Tony Khan and sitting at the negotiating table.

Tony is also more likely to allow Sasha’s outside interests like acting and wrestling in Japan.

Re: Mandy Rose reportedly released from WWE

That's a pretty wild one, but also says something that she'd rather keep doing that and be released than the opposite. I always feel like going the Onlyfans/whichever route is either short-term gains but no long-term repercution if you keep it relatively clean (bikini, lingerie, cosplay, ...), or l...

Lessons learned from watching every WWF show from the year 2000

So, as stated in another topic, I recently sustained an injury that kept me off work. Nothing too serious or life threatening, but meant I was sat at home. What could I do with all this free time I'm not used to? I began watching wrestling around late 1998, 1999 off an on when I was 9 or 10 years ol...

Re: WWE Raw viewership down, draws lowest-viewed hour in show history

Agreed... but it seems like at this point the rights fees are too high for them to be willing to give up. I've been off work with a rather serious injury recently and I have watched every show of WWE's from the 1st January 2000 so far up to late October 2000, and I have many thoughts as to how the ...

Re: WWE Raw viewership down, draws lowest-viewed hour in show history

Simple answer? Get rid of Hour three. No weekly episodic show should be 3 hours long. Agreed... but it seems like at this point the rights fees are too high for them to be willing to give up. I think it would be an easy enough negotiation. Network gets their third hour back to do whatever with. Raw...

I can see why this would be a sticking point. He spent the first amount of months being Kip Sabian's "best man" in pink Disney shirts, them his whole "god hating" thing came to nothing. So, I can see why he'd want clear direction. I don't quite think saying that the "God-ha...

Re: Tony Khan teases ROH television news after Final Battle

Tony should not be saying "AEW comes first". Whilst everyone knows this, you shouldn't explicitly say this. Also, if that is genuinely where your head is at, hire someone to sit at the top of ROH who's in charge of booking etc so you're not using it as an after thought. The rumoured ROH TV...

Everyone knows that it has to be Roman. But I agree with you, let’s not waste an entire Wrestlemania season, figure something else out instead.

Re: Did You Know WALTER & Jinny...

I did know this. I saw something on the social media a while ago, but it's definitely akin to the Aleister Black & Zelina Vega marriage, they seem so opposite in characters and personalities that you wouldn't put them together, but there we go!

Re: Jun Akiyama to make AEW debut on next Rampage

Another old Japanese wrestler? Why? Akiyama is a real, actual legend, and this appears to be only his second match in the US. If I were able to go this show, this would draw me, as he is my favorite of the 90s AJPW guys. That being said, it's not ROH bringing in Kobashi or Misawa, which is what I t...

Re: Colt Cabana reportedly not returning to AEW full time

The Superman Pin, I think, depends on how it is sold by the person taking it. That being said, nothing else you've said is wrong. He's not going to make anyone pay to see him and he won't move the needle on his own, but he's the sort of guy who because of his history, when used in the right spot in...
