Wrestling is popular?
Seriously though, Raw last night was actually good. They were dragging ass to WM but it seems like they finally got the lead out.

Rousey is a weird one in that she always looks like she's trying and failing to act tough, even though she actually is.

Funny how she's struggling to look tough in spite of having a somewhat succesful career in MMA, while Punk's over with the fans as a tough guy fighting champ who hasn't thrown a single successful punch or kick in the octagon.
Oh and you can't forget Rampage/Tito Ortiz stinking up the joint in TNA.

Imo she's got serious self confidence issues, what they stem from though I have no idea

It's because she had a winning streak in mma and became a star and then lost. She lost one more fight which was supposed to be her big comeback and then was never the same.

She wasn't really a great fighter. She was just better than the rest of the women in UFC at the time. Because of her, women's fighting became a lot more popular. And as a result, the competition got tougher and she wasn't able to keep up.

Is she though? Ronda Rousey was a glass cannon. She came out extremely aggressive and it scared the fuck out of her opponents.
Then one day Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes decided not to be afraid and punched her so fucking hard it knocked her out of MMA completely.

Punk is a fitting name for him, all the way back in 2002 when he got dog walked in front of a diner by Teddy Hart. That's not just Teddy saying it, it was confirmed by Sabu.
He's a pussy with a gigantic ego and the only thing that he can do is win fake titles and fake fights.

Outside of being paid and getting clicks, I don't understand the many podcasters that play armchair booker after a weekly show or PPV. They always focus more on the negatives than the positives, even if it's a match or segment they said they enjoyed.

Yeah, I think I remember hearing that the Khan empire was worth 4 to 5 times what WWE was when AEW started. That was before the TKO deal so I don't know what the situation is now.

It's a similar situation with NJPW/Stardom. The parent company is much bigger than WWE as a standalone entity. At the end of the day it all depends on the higher ups not deciding to cut costs as to wether any of these promotions can keep outbidding WWE for talent.

A recent example is David Finlay. WWE offered him the basic NXT starter contract which is rumored to be around 70k a year but TK backed up the Brinks truck and blew their offer out of the water because he wanted to have Bullet Club guys in AEW.

Doesn't Tony's Dad have an infinite* money cheat with the car patent thing he build most of his fortune around? Don't you think the old fuck will cut him off if it ever seems like he's wasting money they don't have yet?

Khan is getting up there in age and he's said on record that he's fine with his kids blowing his fortune now on creating stuff they like even if they fail. The money really isn't a huge issue.

Can't gloss over Shamrock though, he had a pretty successful time but it was short lived and he had more to offer the business. And he certainly lived up to his billing of someone who could legitimately whoop your ass/kill you.

Not just lost, she got absolutely embarrassed after being super arrogant in the leadup to it and not even tapping gloves at the start of the match. It completely killed her MMA career.

Fixed it.

If your hobby isn't making you happy anymore then it's time to consider another one instead. A simple advice yet people would rather delve on complaining all the time without doing anything to address the problem.

agreed a lot of these guys i’m talking about honestly seem like they started watching in the past 5 or so years, i’ll admit i mostly consume the weekly tv via clips but it doesn’t seem like the worst thing ever even if a segment is not 10/10, people just choose misery i guess

I just think it's funny that these armchair bookers on youtube are able to make grown men who fake fight with each other for six figures and get to travel the world doing so have complete meltdowns like teenage girls.

Don't worry she didn't tap gloves at the beginning of the match but Holly made sure to tap gloves several dozen times during the actual fight.
Also, Joe Rogan practically getting into the octagon and eating her asshole every time she got punched by Holly.
lol. lmao.
