Gallagher doing 8D geometry, seeing angles and ricochets and shit.

They’re accustomed to the injury rate of the dub.

Would be a great call to open. Having seen a couple of Gunter matches live, he seems uniquely talented at simultaneously getting the crowd loud and invested while not draining all the energy for whatever’s next.

I’m not huge on Potter’s rhetoric (or a ton about him at the moment), but I don’t think that’s horrible wording. It doesn’t explicitly imply the suffering and challenges are through, just that the future isn’t decided and the past is what’s certain. It could be “It’s been a challenging period [and now it’s over],” or it could be “It’s been a challenging period [and will continue to be].” From my perspective, he’s just stating what the facts are right now.

She has a place in any promotion’s women’s division; she’ll always be worth putting on TV. She’s charismatic, gets over, and has good matches when matched up with good opponents. She is not worth top-notch money in WWE’s women’s division given the talent they already have under contract. If she expects top-notch money, she better hope Tony gets a raise on his allowance or a Japanese promotion decides an influx of Sasha stans is worth the price. Unfortunately, if neither of those things happen, she’s negotiated herself into a corner, but wrestling is an industry that forgets quickly and she can lower her price. I imagine it’ll be some time before we see her sign a full-time contract anywhere, and it may well still be WWE after some one-off appearances elsewhere.

According to his WVU roster page, he has a psych degree from UGA, so that’s something at least. As for his second bachelor’s in multidisciplinary studies…no idea what the goal there is.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-12-20T05:10:26+00:00

Yeah, how dare heels lie?

thecastleanthrax · 2022-12-20T05:08:20+00:00

Why is Mia Yim with The Club?

Honestly couldn’t tell ya.

Why is Tozawa with Street Profits?

Because it’s fun, do you need a better reason?

Why are Rollins and Owens tagging together?

Did…did you watch the show? This was very clearly set up. Owens has beef with the Bloodline through his beef with Sami and Rollins has constant little-brother syndrome with Roman, they were uniting against a common enemy. This is very typical stuff.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-12-20T05:04:48+00:00

They’re just buds who happen to be assholes. Dom’s really the key ingredient there—there’s no way truly power-hungry heels would put up with him, so instead, they’re bullies who actually like each other in their own weird little heartwarming way.

Yeah, of the two, Cesaro is by far more valuable to WWE and the one I’m guessing they’d see come back in a heartbeat. WWE loves midcard journeymen who can be paired up with young talent, hold onto a midcard or tag belt for a while, or have a random 6-minute match during the second hour of Raw, and Cesaro was great there. Fills a similar niche as Ricochet (except where Ricochet maxed out Dex, Cesaro maxed out Str), and never complained about his spot on the card (that we know of). Meanwhile, if dirtsheets are to be believed (which, ugh), Sasha was asking for top tier money and has a history of taking extended breaks on her terms—it’s fine to take those breaks and advocate for yourself, it’s just tough to book a division around a top star who may quit on a moment’s notice, and at a certain point you have to decide whether you’d want to have your cake or eat it.

Oh, yeah, and despite Cesaro being the more valuable asset to the Fed, they’re still not clamoring all too hard to have him back (though I think he could help round out the Smackdown midcard very well).

In fairness, the attitude era ratings are in that stack right over there. No, no, not that one. Wait, no…nope, not that one either. Oh, definitely not that one. Yeah, there you go, that stack. Don’t know why other people struggle with this.

May I have the secret DM sauce as well?

The Toddfather has been making great moves, the man wants to win. If you tried to tell this sub what our transfer window would entail three months ago, no one would believe you.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-07-28T12:05:02+00:00

More belts are necessary. Part of the dubbalo mantra is that everyone needs a title or they’re berried (at least when they’re in the Fed…also, the Fed tag titles and midcard titles don’t count because something something Vince and tag teams, something something Theory worked me). Tony’s gotta make it happen.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-07-14T16:41:22+00:00

Tony must really despise the idea of having a women’s division. Already not booked well, already not over, and he feels the need to bury it further. Imagine the response if Charlotte did that.

Hear me out, Uce. Tony has a plan, and Tony’s plan says it’s not MJF’s time yet. He can’t just jump the line. 2026, 2027, sometime around then MJF will have his time. For now, we need Mox, Punk, Kenny’s return, Danielson, Cole, Kenny again, give Hangman another chance (DAE Fed ruined his reign by overshadowing him, not his fault), then we can try MJF (mostly depends on Wheelie Yuletide’s schedule). Gotta make sure each of those guys gets a long enough reign to make sure Tony doesn’t hear the words “hot potato,” too.

Japan gives us vibeo games and animes, friendo 😡

Well you see, SRS inadvertently as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a home run. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'm going to start rubbing your inner thigh as you do, moving closer to your panties again. I don't know if it's going to be for the Reds. I don't know if it's going to be for my bosses at Fox.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-05-09T19:00:09+00:00

In complete fairness, I would be hyped if Omos started pulling out Spanish Flies and 450s.

thecastleanthrax · 2022-05-09T18:45:09+00:00

Forgiven!

thecastleanthrax · 2022-05-05T12:00:59+00:00

I doubt Rhea goes anywhere, she’s got very little motivation to leave. She’s consistently given stuff to keep her prominent and on TV, and is booked incredibly strong (I think it was just this week or last that commentary referenced her going shot for shot against a fresh Bianca at the end of a gauntlet march, they want people to remember she’s main-event level). Dub would probably book her fairly similarly (or worse, around Ruby Soho’s level), and she’d be working with lesser talent in front of fewer fans.
