General Wrestling IV: I want to say THANK YOU to VinceMcMahon for helping guide US to the Main evenT

[Anoat]

I’m thinking these Brie botch clips have gone viral. Already this morning I have one friend that only casually watches wrestling text me about it, and then a coworker who hasn’t watched in years, but knows I do, asked me about it.

[Nitsuki]

I'm the same in a way. There is so much talent and they give her more time than the majority. I mean, they fucked up Bayley and Asuka where both could've been huge merch machines and stars but they are still having Brie Mode be a thing. I recently watched the AJ pipe bomb and that shit still holds true in so many ways.

This is extremely true, and i remember AJ Lee’s pipe bomb, and you’re right on the money there as well. Shit, Brie is making me salty af, when i shouldn’t be feeling this way lol. What’ll happen today on SDL? She accidentally breaks Maryse’s neck? I seriously hope not.

[Krandor]

but they are still having Brie Mode be a thing

And let's not forget that Brie Mode started from when she wanted to get turnt up before WWE decided to start marketing it towards kids.

[Kalmado]

I hate typing this but I feel this is true. Asuka is smoking hot and absolutely gorgeous but because she's Asian and doesn't have BIG fake tits (she's probably rocking a large B?) she's not a feature on the main roster. Bayley's gimmick they fucked over to put Alexa over. Billy and Peyton got the big fake tits and I don't even blame them because it will help them.

It really sucks watching what happens on the main roster for the women because before NXT I didn't give a shit about women's wrestling. But watching Becky's transformation, Bayley and Sasha's feud, and then Asuka I was fully invested. Everything about Asuka screams main event player but look at her now. Blonde, big tits, or Rhonda, which I actually can understand that one, is what gets you to the top.

Yeah hilarious they make a shirt and that her gimmick when it's actually about partying and getting black out drunk.

[Zealot]

I still say they could, at absolutely any point, repackage Bayley and make her huge. All they would have to do is restart her NXT storyline that got her over in the first place, being that she's a huge wrestling fan and this is her life's dream, but she's not living up to her potential and she has to fight to make it happen. Asuka would be an amazing final boss of that story both because of their NXT history (Asuka won her NXT championship from Bayley) and because Asuka works 100% heel most of the time and it doesn't affect the way she gets cheered at all so being a foil for Bayley wouldn't change her own popularity.

[Zealot]

Also just make Sasha Banks a heel, goddamn.

[Kalmado]

Sasha's heel work was incredible and I loved the dueling ratchet chants she'd get. Asuka is like Kevin Owens in a way. They have to really go out of their way to get boo'd because their work is so good. Kevin is also a top guy but because he's not "the look" he'll never be on top for too long at a time.

[Krandor]

lol we would probably never see the ratchet chants on the main roster.

Sasha is exponentially better as a heel tho, and it probably wouldn't even hurt her merch sales since the Boss gimmick works even better as a heel.

[Delirium]

My suggestion is to take a few dollars and sub to a different women's promotions(of varying quality).
American Stuff
Rise Ascent - mostly includes American wrestlers that coming up. Includes women like Tessa Blanchard, Rosemary, Kris Wolf, Britt Baker, Chelsea Green, and Shotzi Blackheart. They are struggling financially right now, but the streaming service allows for binge watching.
Shimmer - mostly a backlog right now, but you can see a lot of the top women in the world before they went to WWE.

European
Pro Wrestling EVE - very indie, but has a ton of talent from around the world.

Japanese
Stardom World - Probably the most well known joshi promotion in the west. It has Oedo Tai, so it is awesome. Usually get a card a week.
Sendai Global - Meiko Satomura's promotion. Pretty much strictly wrestling based. Slower on the uploads, but they are building it up.
DDT Universe - includes Tokyo Joshi Pro which is more character and comedy driven(like DDT) than wrestling. However, some of the talent is really good.

Unrelated, here is Hikaru Shida cosplaying at Tokyo Games Show the other day. My inner 14 year old self will always love Tifa. I'M GLAD YOU DIED AERITH!!!! (not really)

[Xno Kappa]

I'm a fan of Truth TV lmao.

[Melena]

I'm a fan of Truth TV lmao.

I will admit I do miss Awesome Truth and their feud with Cena.

[Nitsuki]

LMAO Becky is great, and she just has the belt around her waist, what a boss.

[Xno Kappa]

To the surprise of no one.

WWE confirmed Morgan suffered a concussion while speaking with TMZ and said the 24-year-old is now going through proper protocol before being allowed back in the ring.

[Nitsuki]

Damn those clothes aren’t helping paige’s weight gain.

[Xno Kappa]

"That's my mailbox!" LMAO

[Nitsuki]

Lmao

[Tyrath]

I'm still loling at the reasoning for a no DQ match for AJ and Joe. If you can stop a HIAC you can stop a no DQ

[Krandor]

Their match wasn't in a Cell tho.

[Tyrath]

Err, I wrote that wrong. I meant to say there was a match in a HIAC that was still stopped so how having this pop up from the same show still looks dumb
