That LU news is great. Pentagod is straight out of Mortal Kombat but I think his look wearing his shirt is better than his ninja suit. He has a presence more like a *character* than a wrestler dressing up in a uniform.

I want a shirt of his but they are out of stock!

Also, I put the Kidd injury more on them rushing the match and not warming up. I heard stories that came out of NXT about not warming up and getting hurt under DeMott and others I think were involving Batista having an early-in-the-night match and the whole ringful pulling muscles and getting hurt from not warming up.

Vampiro was already a star in WCW before he feuded with Sting. He was THE most over new guy they had whether you liked his wrestling or not. Then Steve, the politician, refused to put him over and that was the end of that.

Not only did Sting refuse to put him over, but he NEVER let Vampiro look good. Vampiro got jobbed out by Sting with a bat, Vampiro got jobbed out trying to fight Sting after Sting had a match. Vampiro dumped THE RED LIQUID on Sting and Sting just became more of a Hogan super figure and jobbed all the New Blood out.

Steve Borden sucks dicks is what I'm saying. The only people he put over were people he didn't have a choice in because they were higher on the pole than him. Fucking even Hogan let Kidman, The Giant, and Triple H pin him.

I don't know.

Stang is kind of a weenie.

I have a hard time believing he did much of any politicking.

any other sauces on this?

Also, your homophobia has no place in the palace of wisdom, friendo.

What I have laerned from past Tough Enoughs

1 - The winner will do go nowhere or get fired super early

2 - Every women on the show will get hired anyway.

Why not make a show based on guys they actually really want?

Really, NXT seasons 1,2,3 are what tough enough is supposed to be.

To be fair, look at all the NXT winners. You have people who aren't in the company anymore either and then you have Wade Barrett.

I'm going to manually download that Austin podcast on LU since I stopped subscribing. I can't handle the country-bumpkin direction he's gone into.

True. But a lot of those guys are still here at least.

Bryan, Owey Oats, Barret, Ryback, Wyatt, Fandango, Darren Young, Titus, Alex Riley, Bryan Saxton(?), Curis Axel, Heath Slater, Naomi....

Kaitlyn and AJ both Divas champs even though gone.

That's the kind of employee Triple H is building towards with NXT and all the indoctrination. He wants everyone who works for him to be a mark for the company and a mark for wrestling. You get that and you get people like Daniel Bryan who are willing to do whatever they're asked whenever they're asked without asking for a pay raise or time off.

Wrestling is a shady, dangerous industry filled with hyperathletic social misfits who engage in lowest common denominator melodrama peppered liberally with racism and sexism, floating in a world where any fan, no matter how young, can instantly gain access to websites that speculate constantly on its backstage creative and social happenings. And it doesn't even pay all that well relative to the wear on one's body, anymore, compared to the riches that were possible in the past, because the main monetary locus of the industry has shifted to a single company that has absolutely flooded the market with free and inexpensive content, and the lower echelons of the market are limited by their small scale in how much interest they can attract. TBH, a certain shift toward markishness and fame-hunger of the performers is probably a major part of what will keep wrestling alive in the West, because the money is never going to be what it once was for any but the highest-level performers.

If we ever get another Tough Enough contestant in the Mania Main Event I wonder if WWE will do some revisionist history and try to say "_____ is the first Tough Enough contestant to make it to WrestleMania" kind of like how they tried to hype up that Roman Reigns could be the first NXT alumni to win the WWE WHC even though Bryan did it a year before.

So what you're saying is it's meant to be what Tough Enough was supposed to be, but it wound up being what Tough Enough wound up being. Not shocked

This is a good example of how a fat a** disgusting slob of a wrestler, like Pentagon Jr., masks his physique using ring gear to great effect. Tights, a compression shirt, cloth hanging loosely over trouble spots, and a decorative mask and face paint combo to draw the viewers attention upwards.

It's no surprise that no one here has mentioned Pentagon Jr.'s weight problem while Kevin Owens, who largely has the same physique, takes the brunt of the criticism. Owens chooses his ring gear like an insecure fat kid chooses his clothes to swim in at the public pool.

Since you're discussing LU I think "Gordo" is the word you're looking for.

I'm saying if you put Niño Hamburguesa in Pentagon Jr's ring gear, he could pass for a serious stocky luchador instead of the fat boy comedy role they put him in.

Also, imagine Kevin Owens if he tucked in his shirt like that...

Is Vampiro capable of putting on a good match with Pentagon Jr at his age?
Click to expand...

Reports at the show say
yes. Though it's not exactly going to be a moves match. It's going to be a bloody brawl and the 49 year old LA Park is able to put out 5 star brawls of that quality with the 49 year old Dr Wagner Jr so I don't see why Pentagon couldn't lead Vampiro to a great brawl


Plus it's good omens considering the potential of the storyline and they haven't even wrestled yet.

Pornhub’s $1,000 TwerkingButt promises VR porn and the decline of human civilization

......

yup this is real

NSFW... mosty because of humor....

“We can barely contain our excitement for the new TwerkingButt,” says Corey Price, Pornhub’s Vice President, showing the kind of disregard for carefully phrased statements you’d expect from a man promoting a technologically advanced take on the gloryhole.

TwerkingButt – it’s actually quite difficult to keep typing that name – will “provide the ultimate experience in interactive cyber passion” (it says here) by allowing you customize its twerking patterns, rhythm and vibrations.

Matsumoto had a tryout before and they didn't sign her, but Shida is the most WWE ready in terms of her style and look so if they want to sign a joshi, she'd be the one.

She's pretty good, but I don't know what they'd use her character as in NXT.
