The Wrestling Thread Is Driving Through Suplex City! - Part 201

[zeroapoc]

Ouch!

 

[DarkSentinel]

So DS, are you approaching this as kind of a fun hobby you can do on the side? I.e. I'll pay these monthly fees, work some shows for CCW, and have a blast while I continue with my normal everyday life. Or do you have a longer term plan that involves indies in other regions, Mexico, Japan or even "New York"?

Either way, best of luck to you. The fee structure you described isn't nuts, and is kind of in line with when I used to take ballroom dancing classes.

To start out, yes. I want the experience. But I also have a firm mental grip on how I want to come across in the ring in terms of my gimmick, and every match I wrestle I will give 1000%. But if I get over and promoters see a viable act in me and I end up traveling, then hell yes I would quit my "normal everyday life" then and there. This is a craft I love and respect so it deserves MY best.

Which is why the first step is a car.

But thanks man, I'll keep you guys updated. Yeah, I didn't think it sounded too unreasonable.

Lesnar was Hulk if he was fighting Punkverine, and he is Doomsday when facing SuperCena.

Where exactly does Roman Reigns fall in the comic book equivalent?

Punisher trying to be Captain America.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Where exactly does Roman Reigns fall in the comic book equivalent?

Metrosexual Lobo.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I was thinking that too!

 

[The Batman]

Where exactly does Roman Reigns fall in the comic book equivalent?

Look wise, I'd say a samoan version of Chris Hemworth's Thor.

There's nothing for you to "get". And people aren't "making out" like she's something she's not. Attraction is entirely subjective. There's no cut and dry right or wrong.

Being subjective is why one would need to "get it" or not. Were it objective there would be nothing to get, it would be measurable and it either "is" or "isn't", no room for interpretation or the need to "get it".

 

[DarkSentinel]

I get it.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I was thinking that too!

"I'm not just the Main Man! I'm the Reigns Man! Get it? Huh?"

**dead silence from crowd**

"Someone ask Bagwell if they're any openings where he works."

 

[Fallen Angel]

Are they going to turn Wade Barrett "Face" seeing as he's going to star in a WWE movie this year?

Your earlier post didn't appear to just be talking about you personally not being attracted to her. In which case you're right, there's nothing for you to "get". You seemed to be "not getting" the concept of others finding her attractive, which is why I mentioned it being subjective. And the line about people "making out" like she was attractive read like they were pretending or something. Again, making it seem like you couldn't understand others having a different point of view.

If they do they better bring back the podium.

 

[brainchild81]

Ouch!

Lol. Not trying to diss him. They're both characters people seemed to like until they were pushed into spots where they didn't belong

 

[LOBO3315a]

I would say Lesnar is more Like Bane or Doomsday.

I can see the Doomsday correlation, as long as we are talking about the mindless version. Bane, I don't see. One of Bane's greatest weapons is his intelligence. Bork is a rage monster.
Maybe Ryback is more like Hulk?

 

[Lead Cenobite]

What did Hogan do to Steiner to piss him off so much?!!

It probably has to do with Hogan's politics in WCW. Maybe Steiner was going to be world champion sooner but Hogan used his creative control clause and vetoed the decision(like maybe around the time of Hogan's fake retirement and Steiner becoming the new leader of the nWo). Either way, he's as unstable as his character so it might not have to have been anything earth-shattering that caused the grudge.

 

[Lobo]

Metrosexual Lobo.

Btw I hate the main man's look in the DCnU

 

[sweetre15]

Considering how Reigns is robotic on the mic and was in place to be the next "Superman" of WWE, wouldn't it be fair to say he's Cyborg Superman from the Death and Return of Superman comic?

 

[LOBO3315a]

No that's John Cena. He was 50% man 50% machine, and his opponents had a 100% chance of fatality.

Ryback seems more like the "I'm the Juggernaut, *****!" version of Juggernaut.

 

[S. Grundy]

You know I was actually surprised JBL mentioned Brock's IWGP title run on Wrestlemania. It's like other wrestling promotions do exist.

 

[Lobo]

Ryback would be Strong Guy.

 

[Slushy]

It had to be Helmsley's doing. McMahon would've forbidden it.

 

[LOBO3315a]

Ryback would be Strong Guy.

Yep! I thought that right after I wrote my Hulk comment.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Ryback would be Strong Guy.

That's a great call.

Great Khali is Solomon Grundy
