All-Purpose News Thread Part II

i know i liked barry windham in a video game without ever seeing him on tv. i think he was the only character you were able to do a top turnbuckle superplex with

Was it this? Go to about 3:50.

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.

Bianca's promo can be wooden at times, but they are still better than Banks's. Bianca is also much better in the ring, IMO.

Unless she's put on muscle mass recently, Sasha is also getting alarmingly skinny for a wrestler. Compare to what she looked like during the Bayley feud in NXT and now.

You care too much about that shit, man.

 

[GKJ]

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

People are who they are, but that’s the thing that matters most. You’re not anything in this business unless they care.

Her in-ring and character is what got her over in NXT, the rest doesn’t happen without it. Everyone names her for a dream match for a reason. She got a good match out of Carmella somehow.

You care too much about that shit, man.

She did acknowledge that once though.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Meltzer is saying Sasha wanted to be paid the same as Becky and Charlotte and WWE don't view her at that level and the old classic "she was an issue backstage" line. He said they think she has "peaked".

Is this it? Sasha Banks is Trying to Change Her Physique For One Specific Reason - WrestlingRumors.net

I read/heard the rumor was she wanted to be paid more than any woman on the roster. Which is ridiculous because she ain't that good.

Also, Meltzer...

Yeah, probably. Interesting it notes that Vince thought she was injury prone since she’s almost never been hurt

 

[Scandale du Jour]

She is not worth nearly as much as Becky.

Charlotte, probably. Charlotte is not worth what WWE thinks she is anyway.

 

[GKJ]

Well, Charlotte and Becky needed Ronda in order to main event Wrestlemania and Sasha didn’t.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I personally view Becky and Sasha around the same level but I have never been quite as crazy about Becky as most people seem to be. Charlotte is somewhere in a dumpster.

 

[dahrougem2]

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

I don't know if this is her eyes being closed as much as it is her having some stuuuuupid long fake eye lashes that make it look like her eyes are closed.

Fake eye lashes trip me out.

 

[Jussi]

Well, Charlotte and Becky needed Ronda in order to main event Wrestlemania and Sasha didn’t.

Or rather Ronda needed Becky and Charlotte to main event Wrestlemania.

 

[Sheppy]

Well, Charlotte and Becky needed Ronda in order to main event Wrestlemania and Sasha didn’t.

I don't necessarily agree. Charlotte, sure. She was shoehorned in.

Becky was WHITE hot. The most over a female has been, possibly ever.

 

[GKJ]

Or rather Ronda needed Becky and Charlotte to main event Wrestlemania.

No, not at all.

 

[Khelandros]

Was it this? Go to about 3:50.

How do I get to 3:50 mark on a 2:37 video?

 

[DaaaaB's]

How do I get to 3:50 mark on a 2:37 video?

Haha I wondered the same. It's less than a minute in. Great video though, so nostalgic for me. I loved the wrestling games from that era and I loved that era of WCW.

 

[Megahab]

How do I get to 3:50 mark on a 2:37 video?

Lol I must have sent the wrong video. There was like a 20 minute video I meant to send. Same game though.

 

[Jussi]

Shotzi legit injured with a broken hand, out for 6 weeks.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Kind of a dick move by the WWE.

from today's pwinsider.com:

WWE pulled WWE Hall of Famer and NXT Coach D-Von Dudley from the Battleground Championship Wrestling event over the weekend at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA. D-Von had been slated to appear at the convention preceeding the show and then in Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) in his match that night against Matt Cardona.

The promotion's side is that they received a legal letter from WWE this past Thursday upset about BCW promoting a "Tribute to the Extreme" at the show, playing off the ECW intellectual property, which is obviously now owned by WWE. D-Von was then pulled from the show, despite, according to the promotion, personally reaching out to WWE Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque to get the edict reversed, which was not successful.

The promotion's Timothy Embler announced to the live crowd that the promotion intends to make "Tribute to the Extreme" an annual event every December.

Last Saturday's show was headlined by Rhino vs. Rob Van Dam and Super Crazy vs. Juventud Guerrera, plus appearances from Shane Douglas, Pitbull Gary Wolf, Francine, Joel Gertner, 2 Cold Scorpio, Raven, The Sandman, Tod Gordon, Bill Alfonso, Sabu, Tommy Rich, Little Guido, The Blue Meanie, Al Snow, 911, Jim Mitchell and Gangrel, working as Vampire Warrior (as he did in 1995 in ECW) and many others. The event sold out the 2300 Arena in advance.

Is it a dick move? A guy that works for you under contract decides to go out on his own and book his own appearance, with what looks like no approval beforehand. The dick move is on D-vons side.

Yeah - it's a dick move by the WWE. As a producer D-Von is allowed to accept outside bookings but the WWE does reserve the right to review each outside booking. It's not like he was scheduled to appear at an AEW show.

 

[BostonBob]

According to the show promoter the problem revolved around them using " ECW " for the show.

Someone told me the plan is for Walter to drop the IC belt to Brock Lesnar at WM. This better be a dumb rumor. What a waste on Walter if true.
