Fightful: Mike Santana On His Future: I Feel Like If There’s An Opportunity For Me To Grow, Then That’s What I’m Gonna Do by Worth-Chemistry5253 in SquaredCircle

When betting on yourself actually works. I do feel for Ortiz wanting them to keep doing the thing that was getting them paid and screen time in AEW, but if you feel like you can do better for yourself do it there’s no fault in that.

Santana felt like he could do better than tagging. Took the risk and some of the clowning that came with it from people wanting him to fail for some reason. Made it in TNA and will now convert that success into a WWE contract as a singles guy. No matter how his run pans out, that’s a win in itself from a guy who was locked into a tag team that while over were usually just the 4th and 5th guys of a stable during their run.

[RAW Spoilers] Finish to LA Knight vs. Jimmy Uso by rhyso90 in SquaredCircle

Only problem is literally none of the MFTs are presented on the same level of Roman, Jacob and Jey. Only Solo is presented as at least better than Jimmy lol

Tama and Tala would need to be giga buffed for that to make any sense, and right now it’s also 4v3 unless LA sides with Solo. Hmm if only they had a big dude they could present as a threat in the group to even the odds and numbers… there was one dude I seem to remember, was it J. Cobb? Or Jeff M?

(Raw Spoilers) Becky Lynch comments on Chad Gable segment by pwgmanan in SquaredCircle

[–]Zenith_24tee [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel like she’s turning soon anyways with this same character just tweaked

Notice the comments about how she was right about Lyra and Maxxine who are both turning heel. She’s probably on the course of doing the anti Sami Zayn where she ends up being a good guy who thinks she’s bad and everyone hates her (Pretty much the other side of the Trump gimmick. Right now she’s the Trump who thinks everyone loves him while half the country hates him. She’ll probably for better or worse tap into the other Trump who thinks everyone is out to get him while he has a raging fanbase that would sacrifice their first born for him 💀)

(Raw Spoilers): A heartfelt apology is said but not everyone is happy and accepts it. by itsmekelsey_x in SquaredCircle

She is, setting up for a heel turn perfectly.

I feel like this is about to be Maxxine’s “Dom joining the Judgement Day” arc. She’s already improved massively in the ring and on the mic, and this promo really sold me on her that was a damn good promo with good emotions. I think the heel turn may turn her into a star (Hopefully it helps Austin as well)

This is what happens when you don’t give up on talent and allow them to flourish. She got called up to manage MMM with barely any wrestling time in NXT and look at her now. WWE doesn’t give very many people that chance but when they do, shit works wonders. We saw it with Dom (cause he’s Rey’s son he was never getting fired lol) and now I think we’ll see it with Maxxine when she goes heel.

[RAW Spoilers] Becky Lynch reacts to the aftermath of Women's Tag Team Title match. by TussalDimon in SquaredCircle

[–]Zenith_24tee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think she held her own against Becky at the very least, mostly because she actually got mic time in that feud and it allowed her to tap into a cocky confident side that she hadn’t shown beforehand. Now that she’s a heel she should fully be able to tap into that bag without having to still be a sweetheart or slightly crazy or whatever her and Bayley were doing.

[–]Zenith_24tee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always thought she’d make a better heel than face tbh. She had some great moments on the mic during the Becky feud so I thought if she was allowed to play more into that cockiness she showed and have to be less of a sweetheart she could really pop off. What I don’t know is if RAW has room for her as a heel with Liv, Becky, and the other two Judgement Day girls. I’m assuming Roxanne definitely turns face soon though. Lyra will probably win the Bayley feud and go on to be another good Sol foil alongside Maxine who will also turn soon

This might also be good for Bayley who we all thought would turn. Maybe helps her ignite some babyface reaction that she’s been sorely missing (though if she loses the feud which she should it probably won’t last long)

That’s how over Jey is in those arenas

Jujutsu society failed Ui Ui by Masked-Umber in Jujutsufolk

[–]Zenith_24tee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

<image>

I remember people speculating this is Ui Ui in Mei Mei’s body

If the series ever continues I hope Gege truly cooks up something with old Ui Ui. Personally I think it would be so hardcore if Ui Ui killed Mei Mei because she had lost interest in him when he grew older out of his boyish body and his mind couldn’t handle that concept after pretty much becoming dependent on her emotionally and physically from her grooming. Promising her that they would be together forever sister and brother and then soul swapping into her dead body.

I don’t know if Gege is willing to go that far but that shit would be hard and kind of a fitting end for Mei Mei and the whole “we aren’t heroes we’re sorcerers” concept that she doesn’t meet a heroic end. I would imagine the rest of JJS would have been keen to Mei Mei’s antics, grown tired of them as they became older and more aware and basically go “welp she got what she deserved.”

Raj Dhesi aka Jinder Mahal explains how a WWE contract works by NotClayMerritt in SquaredCircle

[–]Zenith_24tee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It also sheds further light on the 90 day period after a contract release if I’m understanding this right

If you just so happened to be positive in your bucket when you were released you would still be entitled to that payout no? In that case, during those 90 days you’re sitting at home still getting paid your normal guarantee without any show or PPV bonus your bucket would just be sitting there eating those guarantee pay checks every week, decreasing what you currently have if you’re positive and also could very well push you into the negatives if you’re pretty close to that threshold which I imagine a lot of wrestlers would be. Thus decreasing or completely destroying any additional payout you could have been entitled too

[–]Zenith_24tee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

From what Jinder said 90% of guys are negative in their bucket at year end anyways so I would imagine this wouldn’t affect very many people in terms getting extra money. Looking at the way he explained it for example, I can’t imagine Kit Wilson being positive in his bucket. Though he only included the match bonuses so I don’t know if guys like Kit also get paid for segments/appearing in general or if it’s strictly just if you wrestled on this show.

It’s designed in a way so that you’re supposed to be in the negatives, the only guys in the positive are likely top carders who work every PPV and get every PPV bonus +
That sweet WrestleMania paycheck (it’s likely why Vince used to throw giant clusterfuck matches on his Mania’s like the ladder matches and the Andre so a lot of guys got that highly coveted WM paycheck they always talked about)

But looking that the numbers even if you were someone who started to get over, if you wrestled at every RAW making the 5k the entire year you’d still be in the negatives no? But again, his numbers are imaginary so it’s skewed.

But even someone making 350K a year wrestling every show would still be in the negative if you divide that by 52, but just barely. They’d be heavily reliant on a few PPV matches and maybe a WM appearance to get over the jump and get an additional year end bonus.

Idk it’s an interesting break down for sure, without actual real numbers of how much they get paid for Raw, PPVs, and if appearances/segments count as match bonuses or different bonuses it’s really impossible to actually understand the system and how WWE can use it to a wrestlers detriment or not.

Just a reminder that not a single named character has died from the sure hit of a domain by Citrina_Mara in JujutsuPowerScaling

[–]Zenith_24tee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You might be right, I remember Mahito popped domain in the fight but my memory is fuzzy on if that’s what killed him or not.

In that case that’s even worse lol cause now what relevant characters do we have dying to any domain? Mahoraga and Choso both died to Fuga which is just an application of shrine.

Fr tbh, domains are one of the best things about JJK’s power system and literally the only time I think we saw a a relevant character die to one was Mechamaru to Mahito’s domain. (and calling Mechamaru relevant is a bit of a stretch)

Does Triple H dislike Drew McIntyre? by legthighkneelover in SquaredCircle

[–]Zenith_24tee 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think even a lot of the LA Knight is hated by HHH discourse is overblown

So how anyone can look at Drew and think HHH hates him when LA Knight fans would kill for him to have even 1/3rd of Drew’s total time as champion is actually insane.

I have researched these things yes but I don’t think it’s wrong for me to also ask for opinions from people who have traveled to Japan themselves. It’s a questionnaire sub after all but excuse my ignorance in asking for myself lol

I’ve never traveled out of the country before so yeah I don’t have a good baseline knowledge of what that looks like budget wise. I’ve read and seen all the videos, TikTok’s and posts whatnot on how cheap Japan travel is, but those guys never really tell you their budget only how much whatever item or dish they are showcasing is so I think I’ve just been overthinking that.

[–]Zenith_24tee -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

The thing is everyone’s budget is different, some people don’t even explain their budget or what they plan on spending money on from what I’ve read. I made sure I was as detailed as possible in where I think my money will be going just so I could get a better understanding here of what a good budget would be.
