She has the same horse face that Sasha has after the cartoonish amount of makeup they throw on her.

I wouldn't really call them reviews though.

They're more my random thoughts and observations on WWE programming in 2002.

Cool King 10-22-2018 03:18 PM
I am surprised at the positive feedback I've been getting on them though.

I didn't really think anyone would enjoy reading them as they're mostly just random thoughts and observations that don't really serve any purpose other than to stop me from being bored on Sundays.

It’s a lot of fun to go through them, Cool King. Document them properly. Maybe you’ll want to go through them at a later time.

It's not that GLAAD were saying that gay people can't be bad. They were just pointing out that this was another case of wrestling doing it bad.
I remember the pop when they said they weren't gay. It was great (in a humorous sense).

I think the best thing for wrestling when it comes to representing homosexuality is to just not mention it. Don't make a big deal out of it and make it come across as a gimmick.

Kinda like what the WWE are doing with Sonya Deville. She's gay but they don't mention it, or what they did with Darren Young. He came out and they supported him but after that, it wasn't spoken about.

I was actually thinking about doing that kinda stuff once I reach King of the Ring 2002.

Cool King 10-22-2018 03:26 PM
I think that's next week for me.

Cool King 10-22-2018 03:28 PM
Just reading up on Darren Young and I had no idea that his mother is a lesbian.

Cool King 10-22-2018 03:28 PM
What a fun family.

Personally, I never saw anything wrong with making Rico a heel because of it all. I think it all worked out perfectly. It just all made sense. It was a good storyline.

It's stuff like GLAAD's reaction to it all that I hate when it comes to stuff like that. Rico was never actually gay by the way, he was just flamboyant at times and it was just insinuated that he was gay because of it.

GLAAD were fine with Rico and the insinuation that he was gay until he turned heel and it just came across to me that GLAAD's reaction to it all was saying "Gay people can't be bad. All gay people are good. If you imply that a gay person is bad, then you're homophobic".

Bad gay people do exist and also, it's a fictitious character that's part of a storyline on a TV show.

It wasn't like the WWE created the storyline to mock or ridicule homosexuality. They built a storyline around the insinuation from fans that Billy, Chuck and Rico were all gay. In the world of kayfabe, Rico knew that they all weren't gay but he knew the fans thought they were, so he exploited it to get what he wanted but he knew Billy & Chuck would crack at the wedding, so he had 3 Minute Warning appear to punish Billy & Chuck for ruining his plans.

Whatever though, maybe it's because I'm not gay but I've just never understood the backlash to Billy & Chuck's wedding. I've always felt the reaction from GLAAD and the LGBT community was a bit over the top.
Yeah Rico was always more of a flamboyant type character but it was just WWE's poor handling of the wedding swerve that caught them a lot of heat with GLAAD. Like it came off as Billy and Chuck were only pretending to be gay for some cheap laughs, Rco exposing himself as being gay in the process since he wasn't in on the gag, and Rico trying to force them to marry as some sort of evil gay punishment.

Forgot if they told GLAAD of plans to make them into a positive role model for LGBTs or GLAAD just assumed that was going to happen and instead got played for fools by the WWE.

Apparently there is a rumor going around the net that the Bellas were mad backstage about Ronda's promo last week. Similar to the AJ Lee Pipe Bomb promo, they felt Ronda went a bit too far in her insults towards them.

Also according to the Observer, Ronda's promo also had her real feelings towards the Bellas and others who use their looks to become successful.

Cody seems to be teasing moving into a new role in wrestling. He gave a thank you to the NWA and suggested that he continues his "remaining dates" with ROH. Given their working relationship with New Japan, I doubt he'd have "remaining dates" if he was sticking with New Japan either.

A lot of people are speculating WWE, but it lends more smokes to the rumors of that Jericho/JR promotion, since I just can't see Cody wanting to go back to WWE.

Also, all the "notes from -H" on BTE, including a certain suit that was left in Cody's bag... it's never the obvious.

Mr. Nerfect 10-23-2018 02:45 AM
It took me ages to work out what you meant by BTE. I thought you meant that Cody was on BET.

Droford 10-23-2018 04:31 AM
BET should do a wrestling show

I think Dean/Seth and Braun/Drew will feud for months.

Could easily then switch partners out and voila, WM35 feuds:

Drew/Seth - Universal Title
Dean/Braun - the reverse Brock/Dean w/ heel Ambrose
Batista/HHH

Top WM35 bouts right there

Was reading about secondary leukemia...Seems survivability is 36%.

The median survival rate...7 months

I obviously know jack about Romans specific case...
But from what I’m reading...he has a tough mountain to climb.

:(

The Universal Championship is such a tainted title.

• It's been vacated twice with the first time being due to injury right after the inaugural champion won it.

• Its longest champion has been a part-timer who held it for over a year.

• The second time it was vacated was because the champion was diagnosed with leukaemia.

• A new champion is going to be crowned in Saudi Arabia during immense worldwide criticism and condemnation of the country, as its ruler has murdered an outspoken journalist in one of their consulates on foreign soil, breaking International Law by doing so.

• There's a 50% chance the new champion will be the same part-timer that won it before and held it for over a year.

It's also a red belt and red is a commie color!

Cool King 10-23-2018 04:00 PM
I was actually going to mention the fact that it's an ugly red colour as a joke but I decided against it.

Some new details about what WWE is currently considering for a new tier to the WWE Network.

Nah, I'll stick with my £9.99 subscription, thanks.

The losing champion never gets a guaranteed rematch either.

The only time it felt like a real title was when Goldberg and Brock held it. I suppose given the scope of his push, Roman holding it felt normal too. Don't really buy anyone else as a champion, and it was never going to feel that special in a company with two World Titles anyway. Goldberg and Brock helped it because they are special.

Both an interesting and classy move. I wonder if this is in any way acknowledged by WWE, even internally.
