Not gonna go back through three thousand pages, but anyone watching JCW lately? It's really the only show I can watch without being completely disgusted within a few minutes. The wrestling itself is pretty good, and they actually have interesting gimmicks (Brothers of Funstruction, The Outbreak, Steven Flowe.) NXT makes me want to kill myself; Oba Femi has breasts, and I can't watch AEW unless they've got Big Boom AJ and his fat son vs LA Knight or whatever.
Fuck this woman and her crocodile tears. Oh boo hoo, my sugar daddy got me a high paying job and then paid me millions to go away. My life is ruined and I want to kill myself because I then made it all public by trying to get even more millions from him. Women are strong and independent until they magically become children when some rich guy gives them money to be his personal toilet. Give me a fucking break.
Because Triple Nose is fucking lazy like his heart.
I want Vaquer to succeed but I'm starting to realize why Vince put all these flavors of beaner in mid-card hell.
It isn't even that they can't speak English; what she's saying in Spanish is 1st year of promo banter-tier. You can't even defend it by saying it's "Y2J-tier good but you just can't understand it, bigot".
Is she feuding with Dom or Liv? Cuz Liv looks perplexed and bemused; not enraged or pissed.
People bash the AE for being promo/interview/segment heavy, but at least the segments starred two performers who had to stand a walkway apart because they sounded like they wanted to tear each other apart. Contemporary wrestling stars sound like they're reading fresh off the prompter.
I don't believe Vaquer wants to put Liv in her place for being a nepo baby.
I believed Jericho pissed in Regal's tea because Regal sold the shit out of that sip. I believed he wanted to murder Jericho as a result.
But then again, the US will be a brown shithole by century's end anyway. Maybe Triple H is just that ahead of the curve by dropping English as a requirement.
The ultimate goal of a wrestler is to put butts in seats and stack buyrates to the moon.
Whether he achieves this by being the most charismatic and quick-witted son of a gun or an in-ring technician doesn't matter.
Incidentally though, all the most memorable wrestlers that reach the pinnacle and even break into the mainstream have been notable for their gimmicks and promo abilities.
Austin is there because he did what no one else could and was a big reason Vince overcame and defeated WCW.
I can understand where you're coming from in regards to Taker; the man really was only good at being a presence and was a one-trick pony who's trick just so happened to be really good.
Austin was not Taker, and that's why he made more money and had more considerations with the boss.
Dean Malenko.
Put Dean in Austin's shoes.
Give him Steve's lines, give him his gimmick. Watch that shit fall apart like wet toilet paper.
1000 holds and they won't draw a dime or pull a +.01 to the ratings.
Other notable wrestlers on the roster at the time who could never be Austin in any universe include, but are not limited to:
- Val Venis
- Stevie Richards
- Road Dogg
- Billy Gunn
- Brian Christopher
- Bob Holly
- Test
- Farooq
- Taka Michinoku
- Prince Albert
- Scott Taylor
- Sean Waltman
And on and on. You think X-Pac was going to make "Waltman 3:16 says I just kicked your ass" sound anywhere near as good? Would that shot of Vince angrily staring in open hatred down on Austin would've been as compelling if we swapped it with Perry Saturn?
And I like most of the guys on that list btw, but they were never meant nor capable of being main event level, let alone the guy.
The Power Trip run roughshod until The Rock returns and are eventually defeated by Rocky with help from Taker/Kane/Jericho and maybe The Hardyz since Vince was keen on pushing Jeff to singles stardom.
Not saying it's the best outcome, just the most likely.
If I had the book, I would've made it so The Power Trip backstab Vince and run the roost. Rock comes back and comes close but is ultimately no match for the cunning and tricks of The Power Trip, specially since he's got such a hard on for being a sigma and refuses aid from anyone (Taker, Jericho, etc). This leads to SCSA/HHH boasting about how they have achieved the greatest takeover ever seen in professional wrestling and how no one was ever as dominant and ruthless as The Power Trip- only for the nWo theme to hit and we see Hogan, Hall, and Nash appear and say "greatest takeover? most dominant? Get a load of this guy, Chico".
I just realized what annoys me about this Janelle Grant situation. I completely understand and agree with her being disgruntled about not being paid the correct amount for goods and services because that's one thing.
It's the fact that underneath her name in that press conference they actually put "victims advocate" or something to that effect. Seriously? Just take your money that's owed to you, don't try to parlay this into some kind of career as a victim rights advocate, shit head.

You know those tourist shirts that say things like I survived splash mountain at knott's berry farm? Someone should make personalized shirts for women who make accusations.
Why would you trust a carnie though?
Prime Sunny could’ve promised me the best sex of my life if we went back to her place and I wouldn’t have gone; that’s just begging to be robbed and assaulted.
Too bad for today’s talent they’re soyboys and/or actor wannabes and not Carnies.
