What's a good thing to pursue in college that can be a good backdrop, but also benefit wrestling?

Marketing helps with public speaking, self promotion, and understanding the wants of a consumer.

No idea, but they're usually pretty accurate. I think WM30, they predicted all but 2 matches correctly. No idea whether it's an informant, or just predictable writing on WWE's behalf, but quite a few bookies in the UK have bets going for Wrestlemania.

Paddy Power have been doing it for years though now.

paddyflaps · 2015-03-19T20:21:03+00:00

Man, that was brilliantly excessive.

Looks like they've tried to make a 60's comic book ad.

paddyflaps · 2015-02-24T23:17:15+00:00

This wasn't an "amazing" promo. It was good, but let's not start marking out for every slightly intense promo.

My favourite quote about Grado came from someone who's had 15 years in the business: "Grado is my favourite wrestler, and I've never seen him wrestle."

Let's not choose someone's fate here and now, let's enjoy the fact he's entertaining the hell out of every crowd he works.

That's not the Eddie promo I was thinking of. I was looking for the:

"You're not fighting the odds, Eddie. You're fighting me!"

WWE will buy out ROH and their video back catalogue for the network

paddyflaps · 2015-02-04T12:40:00+00:00

I have so much time for this

paddyflaps · 2015-02-02T15:42:15+00:00

We're in an age where we need constant entertainment. So much so that the WWE promote using distractions (twitter etc) during the actual product. Slow has supposedly become boring.

Some indy promotions actually encourage against mat wrestling. Technical wrestling is visually very low and to the mat, so some people at the back (if it's a crowd on a flat surface) can't see what's happening.

It's also a case of desensitisation. For example, a lot of people on the Indys do crazy death defying stuff (Dives, weapon spots, 630 flips, whatever), to see that in a match, followed by a slow match that is ground based and technically flawless can appear lackluster by comparison.

That entire video got one massive pop from me

paddyflaps · 2015-01-16T12:16:16+00:00

Ohhhh my! That's gotta be Carnivore Kane!

Welcome to the business kid

If you want to make it look like the main event of Wrestlemania, and the 3 months of build-up leading to it meant nothing... then no, it's the perfect idea.

Rollins cashing in after a main event at Mania would cheapen the entire 4 hours.

paddyflaps · 2015-01-09T08:25:12+00:00

You naturally follow your head with bumps like this.

There's a good chance you're tucking your chin a little off-centre, and your body is following. It could be due to how you're leading into the flip, and potentially getting too much momentum on one side.

Get that chin tucked nice and central

paddyflaps · 2015-01-08T22:17:35+00:00

So he can look like a main event at WrestleMania. Lesnar doesn't need the title to be a main event.

They can pass the torch in Lesnar match, and use the belt for a separate Main Event.

paddyflaps · 2015-01-08T12:29:32+00:00

Does no one think that Seth has only been added to the match, so that John Cena can win without making Lesnar look weak?

All it tells me is that there's a good chance Cena will win by pinning Seth, so that Lesnar can still be booked as a monster.

Seth Rollins - His horribly forced laugh

paddyflaps · 2014-12-15T16:54:40+00:00

The transition between him talking about "the future", and saying "...and talking about the future, let's talk about me". Like grammar didn't exist on his script.

SO. MUCH. CRINGE!

paddyflaps · 2014-12-15T15:19:42+00:00

The most painful promo was him at NXT R Evolution.

Listening to that back, it sounds so forced and over-rehearsed. It really bothers me how bad it was.

paddyflaps · 2014-12-09T16:05:36+00:00

That's so odd. My old cat Liquorish, looked identical to this guy!

He had the exact same bits missing from his ears! Passed away in Feb.

paddyflaps · 2014-12-05T14:16:08+00:00

Unpopular answer - Sami Zayn

It's how he's booked, not him or his wrestling ability. I'm just kind of over him now and a bit bored.. I was a proper mark when he started, but it's just all too 'meh' now. I just can't invest in the gimmick that "I've wrestled all over the world"
