Nitter

Not surprising in the least as a lot of people figured she’d be on her way out the door once D’Amore was canned (they are engaged for those not in the know). Expectations are that she ends up in Maple Leaf Pro but I could see her doing the indie rounds easily as well.

    Earlier I said I saw Odyssey Jones was released, and my reaction was “…who?”

    And now I see Gisele Shaw has been released from TNA.

    Again…who?

      All of your “who is this wrestler?” questions can be solved in seconds thanks to a new internet invention called “search engines”. They seem to be the latest online fad, as there’s Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo, just to name a few. They’ve only been around for a couple decades, so I can understand why you might not have heard of them.

      Tap for spoiler

      Big freakin’ /s in case it isn’t obvious.

      In all seriousness, save yourself the down votes and use Google, or whatever your preferred search may be.

                    He was also the bomb as Batman, yo.

                    Tap for spoiler

                    Seriously, I was genuinely excited at the idea of Affleck as Batman. He really wanted to do the character justice (no pun intended), and he’s the one actor that looks the most “Bruce Wayne” of all those to portray him before or since. Unfortunately, Affleck as Batman suffered the same fate as Affleck as Daredevil, the interpretation was poor. If he had written and/or directed those movies himself, the hate would be warranted. But as an actor, all he can do is give the best performance he can within the confines of the director’s vision. Hell, look at Ryan Reynolds, people hated him as Green Lantern but love him as Deadpool. The difference is GL is a shit movie, while DP is great. Seems everyone loves DP.

                    Who’s down with DP?

      Dude, If ya don’t know Odyssey Jones, that’s one thing. If you’re only watching the main roster and not NXT then he’s only ‘been around’ for a literal month and now is gone. Blink and you can miss him.

      If ya don’t know Gisele Shaw then you don’t watch TNA period cause she’s been on screen for 3 years and ya probably shouldn’t comment on stuff you don’t watch cause ya can’t have an opinion on it lol. Look the people up at least, ignorance helps no one.

      I don’t watch the NHL but I ain’t going to the hockey community and going “Who?!” after the news of the guy who died last week lol.

        Oh, I don’t watch WWE in general, or TNA. But I still know who Moose is, and Joe Hendry, and Jordanne Grace.

        The top people in a promotion tend to make waves, and headlines. And then there’s people who just sit on a roster, appear regularly, play their part, and nobody talks about them.

        With NHL it’s even worse, because you have Wayne Gretzgy, and then a WHOLE LOTTA “who?” since the league founded over 100 years ago. But their problem is that NHL fans don’t really talk about NHL to anyone. So non-fans never hear the names, or know who’s a good player. Same problem with the MLB.

        My dad HATES wrestling. Like he actively detests it. He still knows Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and The Rock. I’m unclear if he knows John Cena or Ric Flair, but he’s demonstrated proof that he knows the others I mentioned by name. Because society talks about those guys. Or at least they did when they wrestled. But I could fully understand why he wouldn’t know who Shelton Benjamin is.

          This disqualifies your opinion of “I’ve never heard of this person, so they don’t matter.”

          The top people in a promotion tend to make waves, and headlines. And then there’s people who just sit on a roster, appear regularly, play their part, and nobody talks about them.

          If you’re not watching in the first place, why do you feel the need to express an opinion? The “big names” don’t just instantly burst into household name status, everyone starts as bottom of the barrel fodder. Even the people who found fame outside wrestling, still had to build themselves up in some way. The stars don’t align for everyone to become recognized outside of their weekly audience, and you don’t need to shit on them for it.

          But more importantly this:

          The top people in a promotion tend to make waves, and headlines.

          The people in question are literally making headlines, and you’re still playing the “who?” card.

          With NHL it’s even worse, because you have Wayne Gretzgy, and then a WHOLE LOTTA “who?” since the league founded over 100 years ago. But their problem is that NHL fans don’t really talk about NHL to anyone. So non-fans never hear the names, or know who’s a good player. Same problem with the MLB.

          And if this were an NHL forum, and you were acting like anyone who isn’t the The Great One is irrelevant, even though you don’t watch the NHL, we’d be having this same conversation.

          My dad HATES wrestling. Like he actively detests it. He still knows Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and The Rock. I’m unclear if he knows John Cena or Ric Flair, but he’s demonstrated proof that he knows the others I mentioned by name. Because society talks about those guys. Or at least they did when they wrestled. But I could fully understand why he wouldn’t know who Shelton Benjamin is.

          Your father’s opinion on wrestling and knowledge of certain wrestling personalities is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
