Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Nope. Doubt they ever will unless ratings go into dire straits.
One can only hope.
But even then I'm sure they would turn it into the keys gets Stephanie McMahon over as a business woman show
You could start by not watching if you hate the product and the people profiting off of it as much as you assert.

Definitely makes up for the bookers booking him right into a divorce
I actually like most of the roster.
It's the storytelling and 3 or 4 people that fuzz it up.

I'm ready for FGC Rusev, it'll be fun. He's already been written as an MRA dude so he fits in perfect.

I really like a sloppy reversal when it makes sense. I'll take a sloppy reversal over a flying nothing into a picture perfect reversal nine times out of ten because the sloppy reversal looks real. Of course it looks sloppy, the other guy wasn't planning on you doing it. Wrestling is entirely about the illusion of making it seem real at this point to me because it's got so blatant about calling its spots and exposing itself that I have to take those few rough moments that I can and seeing if this new generation can ever make me slip for one second and make me go 'oh that looked like it really hurt'
Jack Brisco was working the arm for the match. A very skinny Don Muraco went for a flying forearm, not a flying nothing, and Jack took advantage of it in the way you actually would. Unlike a contrived RKO spot, for example. Though I guess the latter is a lot more giffable than the former in 2015, and I do think wrestlers, at least a lot of indie wrestles, think about how many gifs per second they can spawn in their match.

It's fucking awful too. I know I can tend to be... let's say, hyperbolic at times? But trust me when I say that The Simpsons Wrestling game makes Yukes looke like a 5 star game developer.

Sad thing about that is if wrestlinggaf were watching that match, we'd see 15 posts in a row saying "BOTCH!!!!" followed by another 30 posts where everyone congratulates each other for spotting a "botch."

The greatest moment in the history of our sports
It was the highest rated soccer gamr in American TV history. You underestimate America's ability to give a shit about something once they find out they're good at it.

Oh man, look at this irrelevant nobody trying to latch themselves onto the popularity of a Ladies sports club
Of course Taylor Swift is there. I was wondering why you were pretending to care about this so much.
I am not that surprised really, Americans tend to only care about sports they
lead at. But,I do believe this is the case for every country out there. I mean, my fellow Dutchmen absolutely love watching speed skating and that is the most boring sport in the world. Winning at stuff is nice, so it makes sense.

That seems like it would be too nice for CM Punk to say.

Sorry Aiii are you saying that men are incapable of holding empathy towards women's issues? Is it possible that you're projecting?

Seriously. Literally billions of dollars of winning talent here.
But I wouldn't expect a Daniel Bryan fan to realize what that means.

Is there a picture of Taylor Swift and WNBA talent?

Pretty sure you're just mad at the USWNT because they bombed more Japanese ladies than we've seen in like 7 decades.
Notice that all the ladies in USWNT are of an 'agreeable color' for you, Pepsi

Very likely over. Selling out stadiums, TV deals, merch deals, promos for the games, autograph signings, talk show appearances, etc. and that's not even counting the book deals at least two of them will get. For the most worldwide* popular sport, it's not difficult to make dat cash.
*Specified worldwide so nobody goes "but superb owl"

Actually I think that we could be doing better, it seems that even though soccer is much more accessible than a lot of sports it is still very cost prohibitive for young people to make it into high levels of competition which prohibits lower income/minority players from ever making into the upper echelons of sport.
This is especially noticeable in our two nations, which boast a higher minority population than much of the world but we do not reflect our populations in high level competition - which should really be an "even playing field" based on individual skill and determination not a reflection of privilege.
At a glance the Canadian and US Womens National Teams have 5 and 4 minority players respectively and while that is a fairly small sample size to draw a conclusion from, I would like to state emphatically that we really should be better.

It's good to see Rusev smiling about something again
Soccer just has to get popular enough so that the really talented girls and boys from lower socioeconomic groups get shuffled into academies like boys do in the soccer nations around the world and like we do for Basketball in the states.
