What you do or don’t find awesome is entirely up to you. It’s your opinion. But, surely, you can understand how a lot of people might find it cool than in a male dominated industry, a woman is the biggest thing going. And this isn’t something that’s being forced by WWE. I rolled my eyes a bunch at all the “Revolution” and “Historic” stuff. It often felt forced. But this Becky thing is 100% organic. She is beloved by a whole lot of people. So, yeah, I think it’s awesome.

As an aside
Is this why Tyler Breeze got cheered and even some "Let's go Tyler" chants during the match with Dean? f*** outta here, Animal.

Animal is quickly reaching Billy Graham, Vince Russo levels of "LOOK AT ME, I'M STILL RELEVANT!"

Animal is quickly reaching Billy Graham, Vince Russo levels of "LOOK AT ME, I'M STILL RELEVANT!" I don’t remember what he said, but I remember him making a Facebook post last year that made the news sites and made him sound like the biggest asshole in the world. EDIT: Found it. It was a racist post about people of color being on the Grammys. So just completely f*** him.

Lmao I knew this place would have some good takes on those Animal quotes. How could he be so wrong about every point he tried to make.

I agree with maybe a couple things he said in that interview (about the Seth/Dean TLC match for example), but then he goes and says some bullshit like And apparently he thinks Lars Sullivan, who I actually liked in NXT but wasn't over at all, should face Brock at WM. lmao

"There is a problem in the wrestling business. Yes, the women’s movement is growing, but when the women are the main event and they have the best matches on your card, there’s an issue."
This right here is what made me mad I ain't gonna lie.
When i was my daughter's age I was watching Pudding Matches, she's watching them main event PPV's in Hell in the Cell and TLC matches.
I've said this before, wrestling was my major thing as a kid, and the stuff these women are doing now...Ten year old Shai wouldn't have believed it was possible.

"It's complete nonsense that a guy that once did fairly well for himself against Jushin Thunder Liger would think 'I might be able to beat Dean Ambrose.'", says the old man.

I just read the highlights, then followed the link to some from a couple weeks ago where he was complaining that he had no idea what the use penitentiary was about and how they're samoan and should be samoan. He then mentioned some of the Fatu's and how they honour their heritage by staying within their Samoan heritage. "I just like when it when the Samoan boys stay Samoan."
Most of what I read in those two groups of excerpts came off like a guy stuck on his prime years complaining about them darned kids and having no idea what's going on today. Definitely a lot of old man yells at cloud territory.

It really makes him sound like he doesn't watch much, because just about everything he said can be shut down easily by anyone who watches every week. Especially the stuff about Becky.

That's still slighting the women though, because the implication there is that the guys are inherently better than the women when they're on their game.

Definitely a lot of old man yells at cloud territory. It really makes him sound like he doesn't watch much, because just about everything he said can be shut down easily by anyone who watches every week. Especially the stuff about Becky. I think he watches as it seems like he at least knows who the talent are and what they are doing at the moment (example knowing that Fandango is Tyler Breeze's partner) so at least he has a basis to have opinions (even though most of them are short sided and don't make sense) unlike most of the other bitter old timers who I see in shoot interviews where they'll just say they don't watch it anymore and then proceed to go on the usual cantankerous old fart rant on how it's just high spots, no psychology, can't tell a story etc. Well if you don't watch then how would you know this? I thought some of his opinions made sense like his comments on the Ambrose/Rollins match but almost everything else he's way off the mark. For example Becky has gotten as big as she's gotten because of the whole "The Man" thing as it's gotten her more over due to her character having more of a edge as apposed to when she was the "white meat" babyface. I think it's just simply a generation thing. Animal, like a lot guys in their 50's, is someone who is just stuck in his ways and can't wrap his head around the fact that wrestling like everything evolves and change. IMO if the women are having the best matches and killing like Charlotte, Becky, and Asuka are then so what? If they are putting on the best matches and have the most interesting storylines then what does it matter? Unfortunately a lot of guys in that age group just have this mindset if it's not like how it was when they were young then it's not right. Don't understand it but it's just how they are.

Is there a separate thread for the Road Warrior Animal stuff ?
Don't want my Becky tweets diluted by an old man grumbling.
