Support NeoGAF

[Bronx-Man]

I'm excited about the future

Who is this cutie?

 

[Bluekaveli]

I miss Layla friends

And Michelle and Kaitlyn and Beth Phoenix

 

[Data West]

Tyler Breeze looks like a human rat.

 

[Hex]

Or facial expressions.

Or cheering fans

 

[Menome]

I hope GAF never finds out about all the Blackface that's happened in the WWE over the years.

Coincidentally, just watching Table For 3 with Roddy telling that story.

 

[Ithil]

Who is this cutie?

Nikki Storm, getting signed to NXT soon.

 

[Lrrr]

I'm LTTP but I finally got a chance to watch the Sasha Banks/Bayley Iron Man match from NXT Respect. Sasha

Spoiler

making that little girl cry

was one of the best heel things I've ever seen. The crowd reaction to it was awesome too. WWE needs to put the title on Sasha, let her run loose as a heel and it'll automatically create babyfaces out of everyone who chases her for the title. There's some serious money to be made with this girl.

She's the Ric Flair to Bayley's Stang.

Eva Marie is their Lex Luger.

 

[jmdajr]

Maryse was pretty fucking hot

lol no the way you do a Divas Revolution is through hashtags and 3 on 3 tag team action for 6 minutes every week

 

[Data West]

Maryse was pretty fucking hot

Maryse was like hot hot not wrestler hot.

Which is probably why she retired young. To keep that intact.

Smart.

 

[Menome]

Anyhows, that's over. Enough wrasslin' stuff for me tonight, going to go and read classic Transformers comics and come back once the Miss WWE Beauty Contest is over.

 

[Data West]

The best looking wrestling lady

In all forms

 

[Hex]

Why would you do that

I'm excited about the future

I support this completely

And Sasha is the goddess of Team BAD.
The sooner that this is understood the better it will be.

 

[bjork]

word to data. This is why you're the best one here

 

[Bluekaveli]

Maryse was pretty fucking hot

I remember her promos and you could sign up to receive invitations to see her videos when they arrived. It was weird but sexy. Very mysterious.

Miz win lol

 

[Bronx-Man]

Truer words have never been spoken. Bull da gawdess.

 

[bjork]

I heard Maryse retired because when she got with Miz, everyone would just come up to her and go "really?.... really."

I'll be here all week, folks

 

[Zach]

I should probably stop perusing this thread at work.

I should probably stop perusing this thread.

 

[jmdajr]

Maryse spends like her whole day perfecting her beauty. At least that's what I can tell from her Instgram. That's her whole job.

Her skin must be so soft.

 

[Aiii]

Get to work, hippie!

Whatever happened to the old blue and black cage? I found it weird they used this one at Sy. Valentines Day Massacre instead of the steel cage they just used a week earlier.

It hurt like fuck to bump against apparently.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Makes sense, apparently Shawn mentioned this in his book but I don't remember it.

isn't that the whole point though? today's cages look like a bunch of sideway trampolines, I guess there's a point in the middle

 

[Professor Beef]

The point of wrestling is to make it *seem* like the pain is real, not to actually make it real.

JR said he got rid of it when he got into talent relations as the boys hated it. It hurt and it tweaked their ankles all the time.

that's why I said there must be a point in the middle, the current day cages don't look painful AT ALL, guys just bounce right in and out of them

That, and she wrestled like she was a deer on ice.

 

[Ithil]

The point is to have wrestling that looks painful, but isn't. The worst thing to do is to have wrestling that doesn't look painful but is, like that cage.

 

[Professor Beef]

It's about perception. The cages today have a grittier look to them, so when guys are slammed against them or have their faces raked against them, it tends to look more painful than it actually is.

 

[Data West]

That, and she wrestled like she was a deer on ice.

When has that ever mattered in the WWE? She had a character down tact and knew how to work it which I would say is drastically more important in the WWE.

 

[klonere]

Fucking Data West I've had Texano Jrs theme stuck in my head for the last few days now.

What's a good match of his to watch (non-LU)?

...Longevity?

 

[Liquidsnake]

Im very happy that Von Eerie. is the GWF womens champ. She is awesome.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Thread's gettin' creepy!

Saying someone is attractive isn't creepy unless you're from the school of extreme hand-wringing.

 

[Zach]

Saying someone is attractive isn't creepy unless you're from the school of extreme hand-wringing.

Agreed. Pictures and gifs and occasional obsessions, though? A little creepy.

 

[Data West]

...Longevity?

The majority of women don't have nor want long careers in the WWE.

Texano Jr vs Psycho Clown

mookie also mad this rad WCW salary website

lots of good info

 

[Heroman]

Hogan wcw contract is fucking crazy, no man is worth that much.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Where's the creative control clause?

 

[klonere]

Sadly I have to put the "Ryback is dumb as fuck" thing to rest, he's got lots of money saved away (all which he did by himself via self teaching), going to fully own his house (with lots of fancy gym stuff) by the new year, studies at least 2 matches a day, an avid reader/audiobook listener and his pre-workout is 40 minutes of stretches accompanied by meditation music.

He shoulda been that ESPN segment talking about this stuff, lots of professional athletes could learn from him.

 

[slightconfuse]

Where's the creative control clause?

under additional terms and conditions. Letter E

 

[Angry Grimace]

There is is

Self teaching didn't save his title from Owens.

But yeah, a lot of the "Ryback is dumb and sucks" stuff is related to CM Punk being salty after he left and pretty much the entire IWC taking Punk's side (because it was funny).
