Man...a divas burger would be fucking delicious.

I'm talking about aged cheddar, top quality beef, iceberg lettuce, home grown tomatoes, pickles, jalapenos, red onions, special sauce, and a sesame seed bun.

You can keep all the other shit after lettuce. Actually I want the bun too, but beyond that..

Oh. People don't want the Divas to be successful. They want it on their terms, not on the terms WWE is providing. This way they can sit back and go "Ha! I knew they ain't shit! They couldn't do in a few months what we've had for decades!"

Cuuuuuunts

I just don't understand why it merits such heated discussions and drawing lines in sand. Wrestling is supposed to be fun, and simple. Women's wrestling even more so. It's basically just like a CW show. This hot girl is a jerk, this other hot girl wants to win, etc.

Everyone should just bring me food instead.

It's the same reason why Anita Sarkeesian used to criticize film and other forms of media, but nobody cared - they were already having those discussions.

Turn it on kideos? "OH NOT IN MY CLUBHOUSE, BITCH"

That's why Canadian Hero Bret Hart was fucking glorious. He was hated as fuck in the US but when WWE went to Canada it was bizarro world.
Click to expand...

There was a point where Bret clearly turned heel, though. Like, at the start, his actions and words were 100% accurate. By a month or two after WM 13, even proud Canadians couldn't pretend that he wasn't being a real Shitman.

If anything the whole Divas Revolution run expose the fact that there's more to women's wrestling than overkill matches *don't get me wrong...I love my NXT divas matches*. You got to be able to cut a promo, work a crowd, and tell a story. It's unfortunate, but WWE conditioned their crowds into believing that segments>>>matches. At least Char has a following despite her rough time in the revolution storyline.

Times like this...I miss WOW. Women need a promotion to show off their true potential. I'm aware of indy promotions like SHINE and etc...but we need something on a higher level. Which is why I suggest that NXT become a complete women wrestling promotion.

I was #TeamBret the entire way

Growing up, Hart to me was what Hogan was for the 80s generation. I'd never turn my back on the real hero.

She was a real badass. A rare breed, a one of a kind talent. Glad she got her HoF moment too.

WWE didn't do that. That's been how TV basically has always been for wrestling. At least since the early-mid 80s. The whole point of TV has been to basically be an infomercial for house shows/PPVs. I believe it was the great Glenn Gilbertti who said wrestling shows should be 80% entertainment, 20% wrestling. I agree. Maybe 70/30. WWE has actually done the opposite, training the themselves to believe that a match is equal to or better than a good character segment. Austin/Hogan/Rock didn't get over based on their 4 star TV matches every week.

Characters and character segments have always been more important than the wrestling. Even in the days of Gorgeous George. Wrestling has always been secondary to engaging and interesting characters and stories.

New Day has gotten MUCH bigger in the last month or two, for good reason, yet their best match was that one they had against Cesaro/Kidd, no? If anything, their actual matches have gotten weaker since they went full over-the-top heel, becoming more about their taunting, Xavier screaming, short tag-ins to keep the face in peril, etc. Yet this is FAR more entertaining, and makes everyone more money, than a hypothetical alternate reality in which, say, Kidd didn't get injured, and they were having their fourth 4-star match with Cesaro/Kidd. I love great matches, but three-hour Raws with lengthy matches every week have shown, more than ever, the importance of character-building promos and vignettes and how diminished the returns on long, "big fight" matches are.

Entertainment > Wrasslin' for a lot of people and wrestlers themselves. I like wrestling more than most, but I can appreciate entertainment.

I'd love to see them do this. The Naruto boss fights, the cinematic ones, are amazing. I'd like to see it done in OP, because OP is wonderful.

the story was alright in Danganronpa 1 but the "word shooting" mechanic thingy really killed it for me, I gave up in the 2nd or 3rd case

it's just a less good Ace Attorney
