You are watching the "sports entertainment" company so celebs always get treated better than the guys working 300+ days a year.

WWE has always courted the weird manosphere podcast world and Mc Afee is a big deal in that world despite being utterly talentless.

It's the same reason Rogan is still used by the UFC. He doesn't have a fucking clue what is happening in the fights most of the time but he yells a lot and has millions of fans.

Seriously, watch a UFC event with Rogan in the booth and marvel at the amount of times he says "OOOHHH! He's hurt!/He's got it locked in, it's over!/This one's pretty close to being stopped!" only for the fight to continue because none of those things were actually happening. You can hear the other commentators getting annoyed at him sometimes.

Pat is the WWE version of that. He barely knows what he is looking at but he makes a lot of excited noises and has a big built in following.

tbh I think he lifted it from Kinnikuman
early on one of the first times Suguru really seriouses the fuck up he comes out to Ride of the Valkyries, and he does a similar YEAH YEAH YEAH thing, his main gear is red trunks, he won one of his big victories over an established champ with a flying knee
Kinnikuman was a big influence on DBD's crop, Samoa Joe does the Muscle Buster, Castignoli does Warsman's giant swing

He apparently lifted it from Diego Sanchez and credited him for it.

For those not familiar with Sanchez, dude was a bit loopy and fell in with a strange selfhelp guru that basically tanked his career for a while.
 
Lyra Valkyria put on another amazing performance tonight, as she usually does. Will this convince the usual bad faith actors that pretend she's not good?
 
>Another samoan and he's also sucked into the shit vortex that is Solo and the rest of the non Jacob Fatu Bloodline
Fuck's sake please. I don't know who this Corn Cobb guy is but I don't need to see a fifth fucking bloodline member and I'm sure he can do more. Just break up this shitty storyline already and have Fatu go solo and Solo go out of a job.

Cobb is really good and i'm delighted he'll be spending the next few years making a fortune safely doing 5 moves whilst being in or around the top of the card because he's a Pacific Islander.

Both times Gunther has ever tapped it's been very fast. We'll see if that becomes a facet of his character, but I recall him tapping to Ilja super quickly as well.
 
Sabu passed away. F
PWInsider.com is extremely saddened to report that former ECW World Champion Sabu, one of the most vibrant and groundbreaking professional wrestlers of his era, Sabu (real name Terry Brunk) has passed away.

We are working on additional details at this time.

Sabu had just worked his final match over Wrestlemania weekend in Las Vegas on 4/18, defeating Joey Janela. He appeared last weekend at the Tri-State Wrestling Alliance reunion show convention at the 2300 (ECW) Arena, which appears to have been his final public appearance.

I can and will be writing a lot more about the life and career of Sabu.

On behalf of everyone associated with PWInsider.com, I'd like to send our deepest condolences to Sabu's family, friends and fans. He was one of a kind and changed professional wrestling forever.

That literally killed the 4 way. Cobb and Sikoa got them crickets reaction.
 
Damn, RIP Sabu. I got to meet him once years ago, I think it was 2009. I had friends/guys I trained with at the time that worked for ICP's wrestling company and me and a couple other students got to go with for The Gathering. Most of the wrestling shows were after midnight so we were walking around the carnival part and randomly ran into Sabu looking for drugs. I forgot what specific drug he was looking for, but all we had was weed. He rolled his eyes and kind of shrugged his shoulders before begrudgingly taking a hit from our pipe then went off to look for what he wanted. The next time I saw him was a couple hours later right before Bloodymania was starting and he was riding in the back of a golf cart, looking like he was fucked up and convulsing. My friend said he was pretty much the same backstage until his music started playing, then he rose up out of his chair like a zombie and shuffled off to make his entrance for a particularly shitty match against Raven.
I also met Scott Hall that year. Another funny story, I smoked weed with him and I think he wanted me to give him my bag after we were done. I was always more of a Kevin Nash fan and it was the only weed I was going to have for the weekend so I just pretended I didn't hear him and waited for someone else to come up with weed so I could sneak away. Later on that night I was hitting a bong and my friend ran up and ripped it out of my hands saying he had "important business". I chased my friend and then saw him give it to Psycho Sid, who seemed spooked and I thought I was about to get punched, but I just gave him a quick fist bump and let him do this thing. It was a pretty cool trip but it sucks now thinking back to how many guys I met are dead now. RIP to all of them.
