All-Purpose News Thread Part II

[Emperoreddy]

I highly doubt it's just weed.

Most likely some nose beers involved, I'd say.

I saw it reported they stopped suspending people for weed a few months ago.

It's definitely something harder.

Gone. What did it say

 

[Sheppy]

I'm guessing maybe Many Rose' release?

Wasn’t it already confirmed as MDMA and Coke?

Voices of Wresting is saying that Sasha Banks is working on a deal to be paid on a per-appearance deal in 2023 by Bushiroad (New Japan/Stardom) that is ‘significantly higher’ than that they paid for Chris Jericho, which according to Dave was $100k, and is higher than they’ve paid for anyone.

So, the answer to whether or not she needs WWE is answered for now. It’s no.

Never understood her popularity at all. Always thought she was awkward as hell in the ring and her promos to be lacking.

Just don't get it.

I don't think it's been mentioned on here anywhere that Barry Windham had a heart attack last week. He was in the ICU for a few days but is stable now so hoping he has a speedy recovery. I was always a pretty big fan of Windham growing up and think he's underrated.

She has a presence, that's about it.

She can go in the ring, but she cannot carry a match. Her promos are mostly awful and fake.

Also has a batshit crazy following. Which I guess can either be seen as good or bad. Personally is weird as f*** to me lol

Yeah, her stans are weird af.

 

[Sheppy]

Sasha and Alexa fans are batshit crazy.

 

[Grackle Party]

I think Sasha is great.

 

[Jussi]

Kylie Rae had a match vs Dana Brooke on the Main Event taping before Raw. Wrestled as Brianna Ray, which is almost her real name.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Liv fans have climbed the ladder of weird stans. Honestly every popular female wrestler has a lot of weird stans lurking around.

 

[Sheppy]

I think Sasha is great.

She's grown on me. She's a definite star.

My only gripe and it still irritates me about her is that she cuts promos with her eyes closed.

I never noticed that I’ll have to dig up some clips

It’s not like full eyes closed the entire time but yeah, it’s a lot, haha

This makes me miss the coke fueled promos of the 80's and early 90's haha.

I was always a pretty big fan of Windham growing up and think he's underrated.

Yup - he's my all-time favourite wrestler. I'm not saying he's the best ever ( although he did things so effortlessly that he really doesn't get the credit he deserves ) but he was one of the few guys I liked both as a face and a heel - Flair & Piper being the other guys. I was always a Horsemen fan ( my user name was CanadianHorseman on a bunch of different wrestling sites ) so the day when Windham finally saw the light and joined the Horsemen still remains as my favourite wrestling moment ever. It was like even though I am a lifelong Bruins fan I still really like this guy on another team and then one day he gets traded to the Bruins. I was so happy when Windham finally joined my team. Get well BW.


And not that I need a reason but here is the video of that great moment and a few BW interviews as a Horsemen.

That superplex followed by the float over press was a thing of beauty.

It's a week old but here's his niece Mika Rotunda ( Mike Rotunda's daughter ) with an update on BW's health:

Just don't get it.

She has a certain star presence about her. Like an it factor. She's great in the ring but her promos are no good. Too forced. I feel the same way about Belair.

Then again, off the top of my head, I think the only woman who's promos I like on the main roster is Becky Lynch.
