But wrasslin is THE alternate lifestyle.
Yeah I get ya I don't want to see a buncha d brys in wwe and shit but man, that topic is maddening
Sorry, toolkit online buzzwords for social justice discussions (that discussion of formerly overweight people is a hideous, mean spirited ad hominem based on zero evidence of intent), random cursing, and playing extremely loose wth facts (the 1% cited was wildly misunderstood by people who don't understand research studies) don't constitute a quality argument.¡HarlequinPanic!;172942348 said:
Honestly it could be more.
A major selling point of the WWE Network is archival content with most of it featuring Hulk.
I wouldn't be surprised if this delays WCW content getting uploaded and WWE sticks to advertising the Attitude era and I'm sure that their advertisers aren't a fan of them using non pg content as a main feature.
Half of the Merch and toys in stores focused on Hulk Hogan or Hogan Era WWF.

Wrestling really is similar to women's fashion magazines with how they want people to look unnatural to fit their definition of good looking
Did they really need to use Comic Sans?
Steph always tends to sell stock at suspicious times.
They already are.

You guys read about the Vince "Keep it up my Nigga!" McMahon skit?
"In the wake of the Hulk Hogan racist comments controversy, a hot topic among fans is how Vince McMahon dropped the "n word" during a WWE pay-per-view back in 2005 in a segment with John Cena, Booker T and Sharmell. The video is above if you haven't seen it.
TMZ has an article saying Hulk Hogan is "outraged" over Vince acting "so self-righteous" and condemning him for something Vince did in a premeditated way, and on TV for profit.
A WWE rep responded to TMZ and said everyone recognizes the 2005 segment with Vince "was an outlandish and satirical skit involving fictional characters, similar to that of many scripted television shows and movies."

Better not insult overweight women though, or you'll bring that dastardly Vinnie Mac into it.

What book is this?
Every time I come here it's the same thing. We have the same people body shaming. Then the same ones who won't let CM Punk be and have to complain about everything he does. And it's just never ending cycle where no one actually talks about wrestling but does nothing but criticise the people who make this hobby something they clearly love.
Never once has there been discussion about things that we enjoy or what we getting behind and want to share but instead finding ways to poke fun of someone being fat. Kevin Owens was given an opportunity and he made it work, his mic skills are unique and captivating and while the booking isn't always great he does the best with what he has got and I appreciate that but can we talk about that here? Of course not because supposedly all Kevin Owens is, is fat and nothing else.

All those wrestlers are fat and some of us are more critical of the product that others. We're just not afraid to express that. We're still positive when it's good. I just think it's a bit much to insult the entire community.
Same way it's shit to label a wrestler solely on his look, which isn't the end all and be all of a wrestlers ability to make money and entertain.
Wrestlers are not all the same, fucking deal with it and move on. Yes Kevin Owens is fat congratulations your eyes work in observing that but what else is there to Kevin Owens beyond his waist line? Can we talk about that for once with it reliving down the same path?
I think Kevin Owens is the best talker WWE has right now? Who is up for discussing that opinion?
Ignore lists are your friend. It has made this place more palatable for myself after having the same complaints. I just shake my head when I see comments from the folks I ignored quoted and it only confirms why I ignored them in the first place.
Of course, it doesn't help that these people are constantly at the top of the frequent posters list every month.

For the most part, it's seemingly just a current "meme" within the community to make fat jokes. You can look back to before he signed with WWE, and people (myself included) enjoy his work. For the most part we're all just teasing, that's it. I definitely agree we should discuss wrestling a little more seriously more often, but when people make serious posts, they usually get replied to in kind.
At the end of the day, our jokes are completely harmless. Hell, Rusev made a fat joke about Owens the other day on Twitter. It's when it's on TV being broadcast to impressionable kids is where it becomes a problem. But this is on a forum where everyone is in on the joke.

I know, too much talk about that Full Sail crowd is derailing this thread

You're complaining about people complaining about people complaining.

Shocking news, giving a guy the opportunity to work on his mic skills will see them improve, instead of giving anti-European racists the opportunity to rail on the guy for a minor botch involving four ropes.
I actually talk about wrestling and bring up new topics though.

Still reppin' Kidd. ; -;7
I'm a fan of a good chickenshit heel, but I lost a lot of interest in Seth after they took away the curb stomp. They really botched everyone in the Shield's single's push, honestly. Roman got rejected by the crowd, Seth's run has been.. less than stellar and Ambrose isn't really doing much these days.

But you still drop back to complaining about people complaining about people complaining. Or making Daniel Bryan jokes. Or swooning over Bruiser Brody.
What's wrong with that? He is a wrestler, is he not?
Also Daniel Bryan fans make more Daniel Bryan jokes at this point than I do.
I don't mind that he's playing that type of heel its just he's not allowed to be in anyway threatening. He's a joke - an afterthought, a side show pushed aside for a Bellator freak show main event.
Him being HHH 2.0 could have been legit but instead he's like a jobber heel who happens to have the belt.
Vince Russo's take on Hogan:

When did Russo turn into a crazy born again Christian? He's laying it on real thick here.

No doubt, me too friend.
But he's way over the line, JBL had a good balance of chickenshit I thought. Shame.
