Fuck wrestling sucks.
I don’t know why this moron got nominated for the Spammies. He clearly doesn’t follow any product intimately and spouts nonsense to garner a reaction. If your argument is that he’s good at trolling and getting posters riled up, that ship sailed a long time ago. You’re beating a dead horse and even the carcass has dried up now. He adds nothing to the overall discussion. He’s toxic and has no redeemable qualities. How sad is your life that you have to come to a wrestling board and be a classless joker?

I don’t nominate myself. I didn’t even know I was nominated. Glad it upset Dave though. And it doesn’t make the truth any less true.

You do understand that the posters who nominated you weren't necessarily being sincere, right? They're doing it ironically because you're a shit stirrer. There are actual good posters here and then there are sad fucks such as yourself.

Lol, New Japan are completely whoring themselves out like it was 2011 all over again. For shame, Gedo. For shame.

Taya Valkryie reportedly recently signed a deal with WWE.

Unless NXT is doing a wave of callups very soon, their Women's division is about to become even more bloated now. They already have more than SD and RAW's divisions combined last I checked.

Word got out that Tom Cole who was part of the Ring Boy scandal killed himself a few days ago. Far and away the worst shit Vince ever did.

That absolutely sucks. I heard a podcast about the scandal in December. Absolutely crazy shit.

I couldn’t help but think about the names of some of their announcers: Michael Cole, Tom Phillips. I’d like to think that is just a coincidence. But neither are those guys’ real names. Of all the possible names, you choose Cole and Phillips and even let an announcer call himself “Tom Phillips.” Like, if that was Tom Hannifan’s suggestion, someone should have caught that.

I remember the Olympics wanted them to stop calling it that at some point. It’s why it became the “Angle Slam.” I don’t doubt that something like this would have gotten in the way.

Lol I've got so many comments about this video. These guys are all in my wheelhouse

Scott Casey later went on to become a gigolo ala Buff Bagwell

Pete Doherty had a more successful run in 79-80 ish as the Golden Terror and was managed by Lou Albano. I remember his beating Haku out of nowhere in like 1989

I remember Sivi AFI getting booed out of MSG in his debut because they made it look like Jimmy Snuka was returning

Conan Chris Walker's issue was he was too short

A lot of these guys made more money working lower card matches in the WWF than they did in higher profile runs in smaller territories.

Emperor Smeat 02-15-2021 06:08 PM
I mostly posted the video because the guy in the thumbnail having a great looking wrestling mustache.

Also thought WWE's Golden Era started a few years earlier than their starting point of 1986/1987 but they consider the early years of Hulkamania to be its own thing.

haha yeah Big Bully Busick's stache was epic.

Yeah I would adjust it to 1984ish, but the company didn't have a lot of guys coming in and out so fast prior to 1986. Guys like Buzz Sawyer were rare. They did have a few legends at the end of their career work House Shows in the areas they had success in like Mad Dog Vachon/the Crusher in Minnesota and Mr. Wrestling II in the South, but they didn't make weekly T.V's

Emperor Smeat 02-15-2021 06:44 PM
That makes sense for pushing back the start of the Golden Era by a couple of years.

That reasoning also fits with how many people consider 1997 to be the start of the Attitude Era instead of 1995/1996 since 97 is when the era really kicks in and the flow of memorable guys and stars in the company.

Bad News Gertner 02-15-2021 06:52 PM
You hear a lot of people say WrestleMania 1 was the start of the "Golden Era", partially because WWE has conditioned fans that way.

I would say the Iron Sheik beating Backlund in December 1983 was the start of the Golden Era. Mid 83-Wrestlemania 1 is soooo interesting to learn about.

Turns out Vince's recent edict on talent not being allowed to have accounts or deals with outside third party services is even more stricter than previously assumed.

They recently expanded the ban list to include Twitter and Instagram in regards to tweets and posts promoting third party stuff and not even charities are excluded from the ban.

Just like with Twitch and Cameo, WWE is also now claiming ownership of their talent's social media accounts.

Wrestling Inc. has learned that the violations start with a warning, then a fine, and finally suspension. The company is claiming ownership of talent Twitter and Instagram accounts via a clause in their contracts that grants WWE the exclusive use of their likeness.

It has been made clear to talent who have complained that the current “flexibility” allowed in social media could be retracted by the company.

We first reported last September that Vince McMahon issued an edict stating that talent can no longer use platforms like Cameo and Twitch. Zelina Vega was released from the company last November due to fallout from her continuing to use platforms like Twitch and OnlyFans.

A recent study from LoveUX revealed how lucrative these social media posts. Their study estimated that Lana earned $625,922 off 59 sponsored posts in 2020 ($10,608 per post), while Mandy Rose garnered an estimated $490,104 off 71 sponsored posts ($6,902 per post).

Those $$ figures cannot be real.... Why would anyone choose to work for a company when they can take selfies and add in a few key hashtags and bank 6-figures a year?

erickman 02-15-2021 08:36 PM
still confused why lana signed a 5 year contract, she should have waited. she makes more money on the internet then she makes wrestling.

My guess is that WWE is guaranteed income. You get your contract, and barring getting released, you can bank on that cash. Also, your profile is now heightened because you're working for the biggest name in the game and gaining more eyeballs.

Job stability likely played a huge role since WWE is a known quantity while AEW wasn't at the time.

When she signed her deal, AEW had only just started taping weekly shows.

TNT renewing AEW as quickly as they did and locking in a lengthy guaranteed tv contract gave AEW the legitimacy and known quantity status it was missing prior.

Emperor Smeat 02-15-2021 09:35 PM
Yeah that for sure as well since the company didn't have any real problem with it before and you'd think with them swimming in money now, they'd barely care about it unless it was something inappropriate or conflicted with their own sponsors.

Even then, that would be a simple fix to do without needing to resort to the lengths Vince has gone towards his talent.

Wonder how WWE's employees feel that whatever excuse management gave for why they couldn't receive raises is being rendered moot by WWE going crazy with their current signing spree.

Even at the rumored $50-$60k range for typical NXT developmental deals these days, that's a ton of money the company is splurging for this new batch of signings.
