So will there be a day where women are held to same accountability standard to a man?

I think the closest that happened in wrestling was The Fabulous Moolah. Her legacy as a women's wrestling pioneer is pretty much tarnished due to revelations that she exploited female wrestlers under her tutelage.
 
I see Cody gave the Bucks and Omega a low-key shoutout during his "point at the sign moment" at the end of the PPV.

It'd be pretty wild if HHH managed to swing getting them to show up briefly at the Mania match to counteract the inevitable interference from Romans plethora of relatives.

you think they're still on good terms despite Cody leaving AEW?

Cody had a recent interview where he was very complimentary of the Bucks/Omega/etc.

I honestly think that he was dissatisfied with where things were going in AEW and left over creative differences with the Snowman. Tony has a very long and public track record of basically finding new toy, discarding new toy, finding new toy, discarding new toy. Some of them make sense (Keith 'Cheeseburger Locker' Lee) but guys like Cody? I dunno.

I'm not really a huge fan of Cody, either, and found his shit in AEW to be pretty drab and realize he had it pretty good (EVP role, his own reality TV series, shoehorning his harpy of a wife in wherever, etc.) but I do think he really understands the business, and the Bucks are another pair who do as well. The Bucks, in my estimation and much as I really don't care for them, are businessmen first and carnies second. Outside of CM Punk or Cornette when he's doing his old man yells at cloud bit, I haven't heard any negative stories about them. Which is fucking weird considering the business they're in.

I doubt they'll show up for Wrestlemania. I do think that Orton/Styles/Uso will interfere. They all have history/reasons to do so (Orton and Legacy, Styles and Bullet Club connection -- it doesn't line up timeline wise, but when has WWE let facts get in the way of shit, Cody was the only one who trusted Uso) and it would make for a better overall story, IMO.

She did marry a manlet who thought his lack of success was due to his skin colour so it was all down hill from there.

Everyday we stray further from well made architecture. Millions must be purged.

Seriously though, women wrestlers are all getting noticeably uglier and their wrestling isn't improving enough to convince me this "women's revolution" is anything but lip service. It's no TNA Knockouts Division.

TNA 02-11 still bears the crown.

Cocaine Khan wouldn't allow it.
Though it would be a neat spot akin to the nWo showing up for Sting after DX 2.0/Army came out for Triple "Paul Levesque" H.

I like R-Truth as well. Kinda wish he wasn't turned into a clown, but if the material is good (big if) then it's all good. He might not look that old but he is 52, so I understand the idea of not pushing him hard these days.

Many years ago, I had seen him in TNA as Ron "The Truth" Killings, so I got to listen to the less clean version of his theme song.
The line that was edited for WWE:

The WWE version:

TNA (specifically under Jarrett) had a thing for shit like that. Remember Truth was in 3 Live Kru with Konnan and BG James (Road Dogg), and their entrance music had the line "A redneck and a spic backed up by a negro?!"

Also AJ Styles and THE GAY COMMUNITY?!

With Dwayne now on the TKO Board, does that mean we have higher or lower odds of Rock-Roman being announced for Mania at Survivor Series?

And why will I laugh if Cody doesn’t get to “Finish the Story” until Summerslam? Again, “The Reign Ends where it Began” and associated taglines write themselves…

The fact that Cody won the Rumble makes me think they are definitely doing it.

It's the perfect way to distract from the shit going on with Vince by doing something fans have been begging pleading for for AGES (IE get rid of Roman as champion/push Cody as the top guy) PLUS allowing them to FINALLY do a full reset for the company by ending Roman's reign of terror and telling him to fuck off and get rid of Roman at long last.

And I can see Rock going along with it, if only in the sort of cynical longview that stabbing Roman in the back and telling him to fuck off not only proves to TKO that Rock will play ball and not play favorites with his family that are Vince loyalists, but also that Rock is fully committed to a new era in the WWE after a decade of Roman (for better and worse but especially worse) being the poster boy for the company.

And let's also face facts: Cody vs Rock is way more of a dream match than Roman vs Rock.

I'm not sure whether I like R-Truth's "retarded nigger" gimmick.
Click to expand...

He's been doing it for over a decade and actually makes it work because he goes all in on it, whereas New Day do their version of the gimmick with a level of detached irony that is somewhat cringeworthy.
 
R-Truth has natural comedic flair, kinda like Goldust. I blame the shit writing and overcontrolling writers for The Golden Truth being nowhere near as good as Booker/Dustin. Though there is something to be said about "the jester & the straight man" that is easier to make work over two jesters.

I remember that Billy's and Rodd Doggs music had some woman that was going to be raped in the VKM theme song, TNA were prophets.

Never thought I'd hear about glory holes in Amsterdam with Whang and Malakai Black

TNA Knockouts Division from back in the day is peak women's wrestling IMO. This whole "women's revolution" is astroturfed.
