    Aren't Canadian Destroyers generally safer than most other pile drivers? I can't imagine WWE being cool with them otherwise.

    Canadian Destroyers are the most dangerous safe move so it’s popular as as shit.

    I think they're counting on out-of-towners buying tickets without actually looking at a map.

    Lakeland's also a regular spot that ROH hits once or twice a year, so they've got at least some familiarity with the area crowd. They held Supercard there when WrestleMania was in Orlando a few years ago.

    Also, I'm super jealous of how close the WrestleCon and Collective shows are this year, gonna make it so much easier for folks to show-hop than last year.

    Hrm

    That seems doable as long as the tattoo requirement is "has to include the person in it somehow"

    But also I am getting a tattoo with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on it this week so what do I know

    So this is a bunch of context and tweets, it's long so I'll spoil it
    HHH was a dick to Paige at 1:10 of this going "I'd like to see them live healthy lives....Edge has kids...Paige..you know, she probably has a few she doesn't know of..."

    Paige admitted a personal detail previously about her life (she had a miscarriage when she was 17 and can't have kids) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkc2xi81l2M

    The "joke" hasn't gone unnoticed, thankfully

    Did...did he think someone would find that funny? Or did he just lose his filter for his Vince + HHH closed door bantering?

    It's both bad and an uncommon fuckup from HHH.

    Canadian destroyers look cool but I'd much rather watch Suzuki or Ibushi suddenly go blank face dead eyes and drop someone with a strike.

    The only good canadian destroyer is the one that Orange Cassidy "posed" Blank and Still Life with Apricots and Pears into.

    Yoshihiko used to be able to pull off some wild canadian destroyers.

    In terms of ridiculously dangerous bumps that no should ever be dumb enough to take but they still do, nothing tops that time Yano suplexed Omega onto the turnbuckle pads.

    People need to stop doing the Canadian Destroyer for a while, I can't believe it's pretty much become a transitional move at this point.

    As a lapsed fan coming back, the first time I saw a Canadian Destroyer was... Lucha Bros on Dynamite? And I was like "This is awesome!"

    And within a few months it has become "Oh. Even Goldust can do that. OK."

    The absolute disrespect being shown in this thread to Petey Williams...

    Petey is fine, but I've seen more destroyers this week than I did stunners that time Austin came in and cleared out the WCW invaders.

    The gist I can see is Gabe is claiming that David Starr's "wokeness" is just a gimmick to get himself over and that he doesn't believe in any of it and also that he decided to cut professional ties with Starr after the "embarrassing" photo of Starr crying at the Holocaust memorial.

    Which

    Even if some of the stuff about Starr being tough to work with is even true

    That is a fucking disgusting thing for Gabe to say

    The whole thing started when Darby went on TiJ and gestured to gabe not paying talent well or on time

    Starr has more directly addressed that and gabe is Tweeting Through It

    Also in the middle of it all someone straight up asked Gabe "cool, now how about you pay your wrestlers" and Gabe responded "but then we lose the tryout spots, it's debatable if anyone really benefits from that"

  • Options
    BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah Gabe basically pulled a FOR EXPOSURE defense by saying there are a handful of spots in shows that go to local indie folks that aren't paid but they don't have the budget for it so if they had to pay them those poor local wrestlers wouldn't get the appearance so he's really helping them out!!

    Gabe deleted his tweet so nevermind.

    The beginning is the best because Gabe has never once been above stuff and posting through it.

    But isn't Starr typically a heel? Like a really awful shitty narcissist heel?

    And he regularly trashes promotions that would be significant off-ramps for his career?

    But he's just doing all of this for the attention and to get over with crowds in church cafeterias?

    Ok sure.

    I used to love the Canadian Destroyer when Petey was the only one doing it, and I loved Trevor Murdoch's as well just because of the incongruity of seeing someone his size do it. But it has definitely lost a lot since everyone does them now.

    I am married to a Jewish woman and had the honor and privilege of being with her and her family at Yad Vashem, so have no doubt that it comes from the bottom of my heart when I say, "Fuck you, Gabe."

    Joey Ryan posted and then deleted a shitty tweet about Twitter outrage not being real and not really mattering, most likely in reference to the whole Tessa thing.

    Rightfully got dragged for it and disappointing to see it from him.

    Ha, he even deleted his follow up tweet about Twitter winning.

    Joey Janella has been moderately scummy for a while just not in super overt ways

    Shit like referring to female fans as ring rats and the like
