OT: Pedro Morales passes away @ 76.

No it didnt the Ethnic stereotype characters were long a Staple Of Vince Sr.s WWWF way before 1979. Its how he ran his territory.
ALWAYS. the IC belt didnt open any doors, what it was for was it gave the babyfaces a title to chase, because they were only booking heels against Backlund. But that Ethnic Booking was Vince Sr. Always.

I mean Hulk got the last name "Hogan" on his first wwwf run when he was a heel and managed by Blassie because Vince Sr. needed "an Irish Heel"

that was before the IC title.


But yes Flair is better than everyone.

Vince jr does it too.

Sure. Its simple and successful but its not really the same nationally as it was regionally. Different Era, different time.

That was great. I remember Ox from Escape from New York, but never knew about the Price is Right.

While I don't follow WWE, an article on Rinku Singh came through on one of my baseball sites today. For
who don't recall the name, he was one of the two pitchers the Pirates signed from India and was the subject of the movie Million Dollar Arm. He's now with the WWE, which apparently hopes to get fans from India.

And man, has he gotten huge.

Yeah there’s been a big push by wwe To internatio.

India and Saudi Arabia.

Japan loves pro wrestling too but they have their own circuit there.

So bad.

When Becky Lynch is the fan favorite you know it’s a terrible product

Because wwe has zero competition and being publicly traded means they need to do pg and other lame garbage rather than the attitude era.

I’m rooting hard for aew to become a serious player

Vince has to be concerned about the lack of hype and story heading into wrestlemania.

I mean, there’s just nothing out there.

I guess he deserves this for burying Joe and Braun after one of the best matches wwe had in years for summerslam 17
