There shouldn't be an apostrophe in "t-shirts."

I haven't seen anyone just burn up all their goodwill so fast in a long time. I can't stand her and even I was willing to give her a chance because she seemed to really at least be trying to do well. But this is just annoying and she's dragging Becky amd Charlotte down into this shit with her Bless Becky and Charlotte's hearts, they're both STILL trying to get this thing back on track while probably knowing it's been f***ed up too much. Becky's putting stuff up with her trainer trying to heal the kayfabe knee injury she knows is stupid, while Charlotte's played her role well from the start.

If anything this cemented Charlotte for me as someone I just..love so much. I would LOVE to hear Becky and Charlotte when they talk about this clusterf**k amongst themselves. Because regardless of how it started Ronda feels like the third wheel in this saga now

lol This is one of those shirts that's supposed to be cute and dorky funny I suppose, but instead just comes across stupid. It's like if you had the John Cena Five Knuckle Shuffle NES instructions shirt but it instead made references so obscure nobody you ran into would get it.

You had an easy job to do, and instead of "The most important women's match in WWE History", you get this, a shitshow where everyone no matter the outcome is just shaking their heads at once again a WWE "what could have been if they weren't f***ing stupid" Stupid. Absolutely stupid. If this doesn't even main event Mania anymore I won't be shocked. All they had to do was make a simple video Shot of Rousey training in a gym with a projection of the Hogan/Andre staredown on the wall, Gorilla's "The irresistible force meeting the immovable object!" plays. Shot of Charlotte training in a gym with a projection of Taker/HBK facing off in the Streak vs Career match, someone yelling "The Showcase of the Immortals!" Shot of Becky training with a projection of Tyson raising Austin's hand and JR yelling "The Stone Cold Era has begun!" Then a split screen of all the women looking determined and saying "It's OUR turn now" IT'S SO SIMPLE, yet they've turned it into something even Russo would have struggled to come up with. The problem with that approach is that then you won't get sick burns on Twitter to build up the match. Dunking on people must continue until morale improves.

I think the reason a lot of us get so up in arms about this, is because we want this to be good so much. And it’s just not. The stuff on TV is bad enough. Add this unnecessary, unappealing crap and it’s that much worse. I think that's the thing with a lot of wrestling opinions as well. Most of the time people go by what they want in regards to feuds and wrestlers rather than what they think will happen and how things should be. Ronda's just trash and yeah she's good in the ring but I don't care how good she is if her story and character isn't good. Ronda sucks. It's weird to use the word "sucks" in 2019 but shit, she suuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssss. I haven’t watched her ascence but if Ronda ruins Becky’s push that would be the most wwe thing ever. Becky's cheers and hype have definitely decreased since this Ronda thing kicked off that's for sure. Yeah she's still the most popular woman, yeah she's still the most pushed woman but to say it hasn't impacted her would be a lie.

Let’s not act like we were above them doing the Twitter stuff the whole time, because we have a 50-page thread below this that says otherwise.

Wrestling is so much more fun when it’s inherently over the top and stupid, why would anyone want to bring reality into it?
Give me giant Vikings trying to run a zombie mortician through with a sword any day over this nonsense. lol

I’m still not getting the hate for Ronda. I think for someone as unpolished as she is she’s been damn good since he get go. Her matches are good and she’s believable as somebody who could beat the piss out of the rest of the roster

Edge did the Rated R stuff, first If the proceeds are going to a mental health charity, I can't hate that. That's all I will say, regarding the shirt.

You left out the forgettable attempt at promoting boxing and the colossal failure that was the XFL, which I can’t believe he’s trying again. Oh I can’t believe I missed his worst failure ever the xfl. Also let’s not forget he tried to executive produce the Rock movies before he told Vince to f*** off. An executive producer funds a movie. They’re not on the set or anything. The Rock obviously knew he had a lot more value than being involved in projects like The Marine or The Chaperone.

Having followed Rousey a lot over the years, she’s a perfectionist, that’s how she became an Olympian an won a podium in 2008. That being said, when things don’t go her way, she has a breakdown.
She thought that she was the best striker ever because of con man Edmond Tarverdyan, then after her losses she refused to give interviews. Now in the ultra competitive world of pro wrestling, Becky shows her superiority on the mic and she again breaks down.

It wasn’t just that it was that Vince’s carny ass wanted a cut of the box office lol. The biggest slap in the face was in 04 when Rock did the tonight show a week before wm 20 and didn’t even mentioned the wwe.

That Tonight Show deal was just mentioned on the Something to Wrestle podcast.

Crazy how Wrestle Kingdom managed to have no worked shoots in it (even as a bunch of major figures were on their way out to go start their own promotion) and I enjoyed that show from beginning to end for the stories it told and the matches they put on. It's almost like when people know wrestling is scripted, the appeal for it becomes that of regular media, and working within those fictional lines creates an appealing and interesting product that keeps people engaged, while WWE spends half its shows peeing off a bridge and onto your head below while drunkenly jeering about how it's raining and you don't have an umbrella. The weirdest element of Wrestle Kingdom was a kid dressed up as Kushida. And, while that became a meme, that didn't overshadow the match Kushida had with Ishimori. WWE's major matches leading up to its biggest show features a convoluted storyline where a guy has to overcome a gauntlet match just to get a title shot to face off against a pretentious eco warrior, an absentee champion defending against a guy who's spent the past few weeks doing a reunion tour, and this. And that's just heading to the show. We can only imagine the nonsense that's going to be on the Kickoff with the Andre & whomever Asuka's going to be stuck facing.
