This is getting thrown around a lot, but why do you guys dance around names? Call people out on it. I feel like people have their patterns of things they're known for, but I don't know what other level this could be on.

Well, that's because he doesn't deserve the vitriol.
I will say without a doubt that without Vince, things get worse on every level.
There's no verifiable way to tell, though. Has there ever been a stretch where two raws in a row didn't have his hands all over it? I could be mistaken but I don't ever recall the man taking any time off.
Because the automatic reaction will be "but I'm not a gimmick poster!" while they prepare their repo man outfit and ready a catchphrase because they want to play wrestler while posting on a forum.
However, people call dream a gimmick to his face. He just carries on with his tiresome shtick.

Well, I always figure why improve my life when I can make others' shittier? It's a selfless act.
I don't ignore anyone here, but I'm asking what the term means so I know what is being referred to. If it means paraphrasing some promo, probably everyone here has done that. I know gimmick posters like "goodcow is the amazon guy, gaborn was the horrifying news guy" but here I only really see people's preferences, unless something's really flying over my head. Which it might be.

No, it's pretty clear a lot of posters in here are more concerned with being a character than just being a dude who likes wrestling
Heel, dream, stro, Gonzalez, etc etc etc etc etc
Are people really mad Balor and Joe won the tag tourney? It's not like it was for the belt. It was basically the Andre the Giant Battle Royal but with slightly less prestige. We got to see some interesting match ups. Did people really want to see Blake and Murphy vs. The Vaudvillains in the finals?
AsuKana's debut match was everything... just everything.

Hey people I don't like Bayley
Did you hear me I don't like Bayley
Bayley's stupid
Bayley is someone I don't like
I don't like her everyone.
I have to tell you how much I don't like Bayley.
I can't imagine any reason you keep saying this over and over other than to provoke a reaction. I'm not calling you a gimmick here but you have definitely made a thing of this.
maybe because I actually don't like her? why would anyone talk about anything then
This is pretty much it. Becky was always between gimmicks in NXT, from that *shudder* Irish dancing thing, to the heel Becky with Sasha to the steampunk stuff...She was only just breaking out on her own and turning face during and after the Sasha match. If she had gotten the chance to stick around for another special in NXT she really could have nailed something great down.
And then she just got thrown in the main roster blender. Hopefully she gets an Emma redemption run in NXT in a while because she has nothing, less than nothing right now. A properly fleshed out Becky vs Asuka can definitely match Bayley Sasha, I believe it.
I think you misunderstand them. They aren't mad that Balor and Joe won, they just thought it would have made more sense to use the tournament to put over a tag-team and prepare them for a push in the tag-division. Balor is already NXT champ and Joe has his reputation, so they don't really benefit from the win as much, esp. since they're singles wrestlers.
He could just legitimately not like her and want to represent the other side. That's how I see Goldberg, and about 90% of the people here refer to Warrior/Nash/Bret/whoever we're beating on this week.

Absolutely. It got them super over, and they didn't need to pull some upset nonsense.
I don't doubt he doesn't like her. But do you constantly remind us that you don't like Goldberg?
but I don't like her lol, she's a decent wrestler but her character is atrocious and I can't stand her
and Goldberg isn't on TV every week, Bayley is, so I talk about Bayley
Only when someone brings him up as some miracle to wrestling or is the key in their fantasy booking. Or if we're discussing the era.
Yup.
Plus the non-carny ending where everything felt real meant that the next time they have a Dusty Tag it will feel important.
Having stakes and having heights to climb or defend is what wrasslin is about.
I'm not furious or anything, it was still a fine ending to it and they still got the other two tags over as stars in the process but the accolade does less than nothing for Finn & Joe. It'd be a great, easy way to book a feud with the Vaudevillians if either of the actual teams won it.
Although The Mechanics are probably going to get a title match out of it seeing as they did beat the champs.
IRS was terrible, you garbage pail.

Tanahashi new podcast out
Really cool that he put over Osprey. Dude is going to be big next year. Would not surprise to see him in NJPW or NXT next year.

Sounds like someone is asking for an audit. I liked IRS except for in the couple of games he was in. His move was hard to do right.
Agreed. Quality tournament with a solid, no-nonsense finish.

Some needs to book Tommy end vs Shibata
Repo was far superior in a somewhat similar gimmick. And right now I'm having to deal with this in my chronological viewings:
Kill me.
Dusty booked the Crockett Cup to have the top faces team up and win it at least once so it's not unprecedented.

Zach what's your beef with VK Wallstreet
Repo took Macho Man's hat and got worked, then Macho's hat was fine.
IRS took that tax cheat Tatanka's headdress and ripped it up in front of him, then beat his ass iirc. The IRS doesn't play.

It's great to see Tanahashi putting Ospreay over, would be amazing to have him in the BoSJ next year - crazy that he hasn't even been wrestling four years yet, but his résumé already includes matches against some of the top names in the business. Hope he kills it in 2016.

How big is Ospreay really? It's hard to tell. And I guess I can fuckin google.
Ouch, 5'8. Japan is where he needs to be. Hell of a talent, I love his work.

I actually kind of like how cheesy the man's whole career has been, how he's looked like a dad, but not in the good Arn Anderson way. Like, I find it impressive that he had a job longer than the Rapmaster P.N. News.
That being said, he is sooooo boring in the ring. I don't think I've ever seen him in a good match. Well... maybe when he was Mike Rotundo or whatever in a tag facing the Steiners or something, but he had nothing to do with it being enjoyable, that's for sure.
