You have two big guys pounding on each other you gotta choreograph the moves or someone’s going to get seriously hurt.
I thought Desantis was running against a giant mouse…
Nailed it last February.
I hope this means he will go back under the rock he crawled out from. Ick, he makes me feel like I need to shower just hearing him speak. The smarm just oozes out.
We’ll always have the time he took a piss on a hot mic.
Unless they’re supposed to to get hurt anyway. And even then there’s only so much choreography you can set up. Ask Mick Foley.
This “No women wrestlers” thing is deeply annoying. Women had to work damned hard to get past the Playboy shoots and bra & panty matches to the real thing.
Yeah, but I’d bet good money the people involved with this are, at best, third-rate wrestlers. Appealing to the anti-woke demographic is their only real shot at making money at this. Just like all those shitty movies they make. There’s a built-in audience ready to drop money on them just because, and quality doesn’t matter. You can still get rich, even if it’s not Top Tier rich.
Most likely. One of the things a wrestler has to do, is to “sell” a move; to make it believeable to the audience. So the guy flying off the top ropes and landing a flying elbow smash on the chest of his opponent, has to do two things: sell that move, and not hurt his opponent. (Aside: I know how this is done.)
But third-rate wrestlers? No way I’d get into the ring with those guys. They cannot sell a move to save their lives, they just beat each other up. They’ve watched too many “backyard wrestling” videos on YouTube, and they think that’s what it’s all about. No, it is actually an intricately crafted storyline, accompanied by elaborate choreography that is accomplished by practice, practice, practice.
I never worried when I was in the ring. The guys looked out for me, and when things went south, as they did a few times, all the wrestlers, heel and face, were concerned about me in the locker room later. “Jeez, Spoons, sorry about that. You okay? You sure?”
But third-rate wrestlers? No way. They don’t know how to pro-wrestle.
A super-quick hijack: Did the behind-the-scenes stuff depicted in The Wrestler seem genuine to you? Your post made me think of the final scene where Randy’s “hated opponent” was whispering to him in a clinch (he was worried about Randy’s heart condition), “You gave them enough, Randy! You can wrap it up!”
Pretty good show about women wrestlers (IMH-uninformed-O).
A look at the personal and professional lives of a group of women who perform for a wrestling organization in Los Angeles during the 1980s.
I’m not Spoons but it seems plausible to me from what little I know of wrestling. If, say, one of the wrestlers turns his ankle or something and needs to end the match, they’d need a way to discuss things while getting ready to move.
The only thing I liked about Ramaswamy is that, unlike Bobby Jindal or Nikki Haley, he didn’t convert to Christianity or acquire a less obvious name.
I cannot stand how condescending he is, particularly to women. What a little dick.
Election interference is the new word for campaigning, as long as the candidate is either a Democrat or running against Trump.
My opponent had people knocking on doors and telling people to vote for them instead of me! Election Interference!
I remember back when I first started getting into watching football, and trying to figure out the “pass interference” call. “Wait, isn’t interfering with the pass pretty much that guy’s job description?!?”
Remember last year when Republicans were convinced schools were putting litter boxes in classrooms for kids who identified as cats?
Apparently the OK legislature never got the news that that was 100% made up, because they’ve now introduced a bill empowering animal control to remove students who claim to be animals.
Last year a candidate for a far right party in Central Alberta started pushing the same “litter boxes in schools” garbage. These folks are not the brightest bulbs in the chandelier of life.
Rapey McForehead sez; “Women voters? Who needs 'em, amirite fellas?”
If they are old enough to vote, he wants nothing to do with them. Adult women are unacceptable, because they disapprove of his proclivities.
