2021 Pro Wrestling Thread

the whole thing is so bizarre. Conservative media seem to be crapping on Cena way more than they did Lebron or Disney.

one of the dirtsheets said his thing “is not going over well in wwe.” As if the E didn’t do the exact same shit with Saudi Arabia....

 

I haven't seen the video if there is one, only heard the audio. But it sounds terrible, especially for a guy who has built his career on being a squeaky clean babyface role model.
Even though he's speaking Chinese you can tell by the tone that it's a weak-kneed apology.

At least with the Saudi situation the WWE could plausibly spin it as getting a foot in the door to start a long process (which also happens to make the company a lot of money).
And LeBron mostly gets ripped for saying nothing about China while earning millions from that market and then going on social justice rants about things in the U.S.
You didn't need a translator to understand that Cena's apology is just kow-towing.

 

Who needs the networks when you've got those great flea market exclusives.

 

He made bail!

 

After watching Dark Side's Warrior film, it was hardly "smut" as Dana put it. It didn't hold anything back, but I don't feel like anything was contrived.

And yes, it did credit Dana for putting the conservative feelings into Warrior.

 

He better stop calling himself “Buff.”

 

Helluva opening 37 minutes with the Usos and the Street Profits. There was more entertainment in that than in all three hours of Raw.

 

Bischoff on AEW? Ugh.

 

Is there a better entrance than Jericho’s when the entire crowd is singing?

 

It’d be really great if the Uso breakup is a red herring and Dominik pulls an “Owen on Bret”
on dad next week....

 

That's cute. After Tony Khan cut a promo on WWE president Nick Khan, WWE socials out a video of Nia Jax squashing Britt Baker.

 

You think Nick Khan was behind it? That this is the wrath of Khan?
