untrained our of shape pro wrestler with 0 fight experience isn’t doing shit to a former champ. We aren’t exactly talking about bob sapp here, who still lost every fight he had despite being juiced to the gills.

He should have been named Haiku and done a Genius poetry gimmick.

They could have been an amazing tag team.

Ric Flair could be the leader, coming down to the ring in a limo and telling limericks.

Change his name to Limo-Ric Flair.

Rounding out the group could be a resurrected Pak Song, who would obviously sing during his entrances.

It would be "Sing, Sing a Song" by The Carpenters.

Kinda like Floyd Mayweather Jr and Big Show back in the day. If Big Show somehow managed to land a clean KO punch on Floyd in a real fight he could have killed him.
Lol, Nia isn't going to land a solid blow on Ronda. If Ronda had been drinking and was at the bar mouthing off and Nia caught her from behind, maybe, but in an actual fight, Nia isn't going to be able to do shit.

He still makes an occasional gimmick spot in New Japan, I think. Not sure if he does anything in those things, but I think his last one was last year sometime.

WWE could easily bring him back and have him do that to fill up time on Raw.

I don't agree with Cornette that Angle was bigger than Rousey at the time of their individual signings. Other than that, he's spot on.

Think he's referring to Angle being a legit Olympic gold medalist vs what Ronda done in the Olympics.

That's fair. Ronda is a medalist athlete. Not gold of course. Ronda also reached the highest point of her sport professionally. I don't think the difference of the 2 is much beyond Kurt falling in love with the business and Ronda not doing so.

I think Ronda was the bigger star outside wrestling, but Angle obviously fell in love with it and meant more as he adapted.

I don't disagree with Cornette or old-school guys taking issue with it. They made their money working, and some people even worked their families to protect the work. It's easy to look back on that now and think "what pieces of shit," but people being willing to believe, even if they didn't actually believe, was absolutely crucial to people emotionally engaging and buying tickets, etc.

Where it falls down with me is that this shit has been so fucking exposed. No one really works anymore. Well, MJF tries to and, weirdly enough, despite him probably having some errant comments in the past, Brock Lesnar makes people believe in him -- good, bad or otherwise. But I don't get modern wrestlers saying "Hey, don't call this shit fake!" when you've got John Cena going out there and doing pantomime with Bray Wyatt in one of the most heavily promoted matches at WrestleMania.

And then you've got Nia Jax sitting in a group chat with all her enemies and rivals talking about how it's a sisterhood and she's out there looking out for her buddies and it's all work getting upset at Ronda Rousey exposing that it's a work. If it were someone that actually presented themselves as legit calling out Ronda Rousey to get in the ring with them for five minutes, I'd be more like "Haha, yeah -- give it to her," but it's fucking Nia Jax.

There's a huge psychology problem in wrestling, and it's so weird to see wrestlers who classify themselves as entertainers and will do ridiculous shit all the time adopting this old-school mentality simultaneously. Makes everything look like a damn cult. If you're in it, you drink the punch, but if you get out and talk about the punch you're a target.

I'm all in favor of people working. People can still be fooled. There are people who think this is a work, even though it doesn't make any sense for your former Women's Champion to be talking about how that was all bullshit. People are generally idiots. But fucking pick a lane and stick to it. The irony of a green woman with little talent that hurts people and herself taking up for the business in a group chat that exposes the business is just...insanity. It's actually insane from the outside.

Honestly, that's what has made it become the clown show it always actually was. People have always known it wasn't legit. You simply just can't have the talent come out and acknowledge it though. It's not necessary and serves no long term purpose/benefit. Not only are you telling people that nothing you do or that happens going forward matters, but you're also saying that nothing that has happened prior mattered. It'd be like having the actors of a movie/TV show come on the screen every so often and saying "hey, this isn't real, we're acting", and/or occasionally winking at the camera. It's just going to take that little bit of illusion away.
