I don't give a fuck. This was entertaining TV. At first I had big doubts about those two making an impact in WWE, but man they delivered. It was great.
Arguable the most successful addition from ECW born stars. Yes even more than RVD.
As a legit short dude, nah, height really isn't much of an issue overall. Lots of ladies out there in the world that will be plenty interested in you as long as you're presentable, at least somewhat confident, and a nice guy.
In my 29 years I can only think of a couple of times where I've been passed on for being too short.
Oh shit. Thanks. Gonna have to watch this some time today.

I quoted the Tweet mostly for the anti-Ric Flair sentiment, but sure, if it helped.
There's a distinction between Ric Flair and Richard Fliehr. But maybe, when you live the gimmick for so long, you delude yourself into thinking that there isn't actually a difference between character and person.

When you're the Man That Gravity Forgot, it's not about height limits, it's about no limits.

There absolutely is not a difference between Ric Flair and Richard Fliehr, which is which why Fliehr has a dead son, 4 ex wives, hundreds of thousands of debt, and was selling merch at his son's funeral.
Fact?
It was a response to Flair who constantly berated the NWO, Nash, and Hall. Famous for his 'Shawn Michaels had a 5 star match with a ladder' comments and saying the NWO couldn't touch the Horsemen. Nash's natural response is to tell Ric, 'It's not real' which should be the response when someone is talking about fake fighters being 'more powerful' than other fake fighters
I think you mis-worded that because a hell of a lot of promos have wrestlers saying that they are better, more powerful, fake fighters than other fake fighters.
Unless its in terms of booking power or backstage power then yeah, then I'd say that's probably fine.

I think the takeaway here is that all wrestlers are fucking liars, which is what I've been trying to teach wrestlinggaf for years.
Yeah it's a pretty futile argument to introduce when you're discussing wrestling.
Jesus...please let this not be real.

You either die a Hall of Famer, or live long enough to see yourself become the gimmick.

You know, this actually makes me reconsider the case of Ric Flair, whose gimmick has always been a shitty chickenshit piece of shit. Do you think he backed off like this when Jackie Beems was getting heat on him?

I forgot how brutal the Steiner Screwdriver was:
I remember this in the old N64 games. Picture perfect execution here.
He isn't pulling anything down from the top shelf.
The Scott Steiner of that era was basically a real life No Mercy character out there just spamming finisher-like moves at will.

Psychology is a hell of a thing, even before you factor drugs, alcohol, and brain and other bodily trauma into it. Fliehr, by all accounts, conducted himself financially in bad faith on multiple occasions, and there are anecdotes that support accusations that he mistreated his coworkers throughout his career. However, I don't take any anecdotes from any wrestler without at least 1 grain of salt. That leaves financial mismanagement and fraud as the blackest marks on Fliehr's life, and I'd like to think we're mature enough to separate the man from the performer.
But sure, let's condemn him.

Was it over your head, Beeflet?
You mean really good at being drunk enough to not give a fuck?
When I used this algorithm for Bangai-o and Aiii, they called me crazy.
It feels like the age of the modern wrestling is ushering out the time where the only guys at the very top of the business are enormous shit bags (Hulk/Warrior/Michaels/Flair).

What he say?
and then we complain about them not being carny enough to take chairshots, or keep kayfabe 24/7 or physically assault fans who throw things at them/give them shit.
its one or the other i think
Didn't the WWE Champion cheat on his fiance with noted racist Zebra Schreiber?
Your dick can be pretty stupid most of the time. I half way excuse that whole thing.
Other than that, Rollins has really good character outside of the ring.
