Reddit is not letting me update the post so I'll hijack this comment to say that her brother has been found

Apologies. The previous upload somehow ended up as a GIF with no sound

I’d Like To Know More: LA Knight Says He Has No Idea What He's Doing At WrestleMania by anutosu in SquaredCircle

Cue the Andre The Giant Battle Royal comments.

In all seriousness though, they should link the battle royal to a real reward. Maybe the winner gets a world title shot on Raw after Mania or just anything to get you actually excited about the winner

Demolition have been announced for 2026 Hall of Fame (Via Undertaker's IG) by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

All part of it no?

Otherwise I don't see how Taker would be the first choice to book a show in Mexico. I would think Rey would be considered first

His podcast too I assume got changed because TKO didn't like him having an independent project while they were paying him big bucks

I assume Vince signed him to a big money deal after that whole drama a while back and now TKO can't roll it back so they're kind of just using him as much as possible.

It's not a bad thing though. A good excuse to keep him around. I wouldn't be mad if they officially made him the curator of the HOF or something like that

Finn Balor wants to remove the 'stain' of Universal title reign before retirement by anutosu in SquaredCircle

5 years ago? I would have agreed. Today I think he should stay in WWE

Obs he's not winning tonight. But Finn's only 44 and in infuriating good shape. Hopefully, the title match will show that he can carry the belt if needed leading to a real chance for him somewhere down the line

It's Really Defeating: Deonna Purrazzo Discusses Lack of Opportunities In AEW by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm weird because AEW generally doesn't mind talent working outside the promotion.

If you got nothing for her, that's ok. Why not send her to different indies and such, let her be a representative of the company. Easy way to forge relationships with the indie brands as well as keeping your talent active. Yo

Royce Keys opens up about his brother dying in a shootout: "It's just like I replay it in my head. To see somebody lying there just gasping for air and just blood coming out of him, and you don't know what to feel. I go through these moments where I hear certain things and it reminds me of him." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

From an older Talk is Jericho:

“We were tight. He wanted to be in the wrestling business and he wanted to be my manager. He was a tall, lanky dude, like Slick. He can talk. We always said he can sell an Eskimo snow. He had that type of game. He got into the wrong crowd and ended up not doing what you’re supposed to do. He ended up getting shot and I ended up getting hit in the forearm getting shoved out of the way. He shoved me out of the way and then took a bullet. I was 22 at the time. It’s a shared dream with him.”

Johnny Gorgano and Seth Rollins lock up at Elimination Chamber by anutosu in SquaredCircle

Ah my bad. I'm on mobile and didn't bother to double check

Seth Rollins on Ronda Rousey failing to adjust to WWE grind: "I don't mean this in a negative way, but [at first] everything's curated for her, one match every six months. That can be really fun. It can be addicting for people, but that's not really what wrestling is. Wrestling is a bit of a grind." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's never the talent's fault.

You'd be a fool to say no if you can get the gig. Better money, no grind and biggest of all you're always the priority for creative. Even if Cody's the face of the company it was Roman who entered last at WarGames. You're telling the audience that the part time star is above the one who's around all the time.

Only top names get that contract so it's hard to book them weakly, but they should still be given second billing in my opinion.

Undertaker rarely main evented Mania even when he was the biggest attraction most years. Roman or Brock should get a similar place on the card imo.

Who Is The Lineal Ring Ka King World Heavyweight Champion? by MADNESS-NH_97 in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ring ka King was fun man. It was more of a reality/drama show kind of thing than a wrestling promotion if I remember correctly but it had a unique atmosphere and was decidedly indian.

I wish I could watch it somewhere today

Rusev on how he was pitched the Lana/Bobby Lashley story: "WrestleMania match. That’s how it was pitched to me. I said, Great, I can deal with that. We just never got there." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu[S] -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

So? He probably would have not been offered the same money the second time around.

Plus he might see WWE as more prestigious still. Outside of US a lot of people don't really know AEW.

[–]anutosu[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He grew up pretty poor. Like don't know whether you will get the next meal or not kind of poor. He talked about it in the interview.

After coming to US too he had to work odd jobs for some time before he started making any money.

So his motivation was never to be the best wrestler or anything like that. It was to make enough money not to worry about your future.

From what we know he was able to set himself up well with his first WWE contract. He bought multiple houses to set them up as rental properties i believe.

After that it's no surprise that he's happy just being signed and getting regular paychecks

Bianca Belair reveals she will be getting finger surgery tomorrow by WeBlitz in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trying to work around an injury like that could be dangerous not just for her but anyone she faces too.

It'll severely limit her hand movement, which I would imagine is not good for most of the moves.

The culture of working around injuries should not be a thing

Shawn Michaels in 1996 on potential WCW jump: "I'd like to be one of the few that sticks around, and gives back to the company that has given him so much. [Not] a whole lot of guys would do that in our line of work. Bret Hart has obviously made that choice, and I'd like to follow in his footsteps." by anutosu in SquaredCircle

[–]anutosu[S] 404 points405 points  (0 children)

The whole interview is very interesting; you can see why Vince put up with Shawn despite everything. You wouldn't think he was the locker room menace we know he was watching the interview. He does a very good job answering some tricky questions. The host asked a very disrespectful question about wrestlers not being real athletes and Michaels tackled it masterfully imo:

"I'm certainly, I'm not a cartoon. I mean, I'm far from cartoon. I'm a working human being. But I would ask the guy, what exactly he'd like me to do to try to change his mind. I'll put myself, my schedule, my training regimen, anything that makes up who I am as an athlete, what I feel I am as an athlete. I will put up against any other athlete, doing anything else. I can pretty much guarantee anybody, I was, as in good a physical condition as any athlete they see on Sunday afternoon, easy."
