guy, you're a WWE fanboy, I know. But this isn't America where company partisanship reigns supreme. We over here in Naija have bigger things to worry about , so let's leave the fantasy for those who are actually close to the wrestling companies.

I like pro wrestling as a whole, not just WWE. However, since AEW internet marks are so tribalist. I will continue to make posts trolling them from time to time.

Wrestling is silly! I didn't say this, other people did. It's a well known fact. And that exactly is my point - it shouldn't be. The silliness is the reason original NXT wrestlers can't draw (since it became 2.0), the gimmicks, excess scripts - you name it - have all been the reason for their downfall.

"Wrestling is silly." Oh what an insight! Welcome to 1990.

I, like most wrestling fans, don't give a damn about that. I just want to be entertained after work. If I wanted something serious, I'd go watch Channels News.

NXT 2.0 is a developmental brand, different from Black And Gold which tried to be a third brand. The roster is full of younger wrestlers rather than indie veterans. Also, they don't draw like Raw or Smackdown for the same reason the Championship doesn't draw like the EPL. However, they still draw more then every other wrestling show excluding Raw, Smackdown, and Dynamite.

ValeeLove:
Now they need good ratings to attract sponsors and brands in this new merger and they can't because wrestling (atleast in 2023) is silly - known fact. They now import wrestlers and actual stars that have no business being on that roster to be there, even if it's their asset can we atleast agree that it's an act of desperation and it's because the current crop of talent are not that good. Come to think of it, if the developmental guys aren't that good and can't make money for the company; where does that leave the future of the company? Leave company partisanship for actual Americans and face reality; wrestling today is bad.

Now, I don't know the details about their sponsorship revenue but I always see that they have sponsored segments, ad spot , and sponsored matches. I see them promoting new games, movies and series all the time. Not to mention, their deal with the Saudis.

Are you sure of this claim that you're making?

AEW acquires new upcoming talent after Sting's untimely retirement.

Now that I've completed fallen off the seasonal anime wagon, I can only pick a couple of stuff to watch at the end of the year. Now, I've been hearing good stuff about Under Ninja, has anyone here seen it, would you recommend it?

when people tell you "I watch for the story" or "it's entertainment", you know there's a problem. WWE ruined pro-wrestling like that. They made it silly, goofy and inauthentic. These are facts. I'm not saying they aren't selling merch, Disney is too, but that doesn't make it pro-wrestling. I don't have much of a problem with them currently cos they've cooled down on that storyline. All I'm saying is that they ruined wrestling and it's a fact.

And you are still wrong.

Pro wrestling was already "ruined" in the 80s when WWE had to admit it was fake to state regulators. It has always been "silly" and "goofy", The Undertaker literally debuted from a coffin back in 1984.

Wrestling was never ruined, you just never liked it.

ValeeLove:
we're not kids here. Remove the main roster guys completely and let's see what they make on a weekly. We already know what the number is so forget this argument.

Don't use your assets to maximise profit?

Not how business works.

samistry:
Same Punk who beat the entire shield in a 3 on 1 handicap match? Wwe is doing fine by earnings and merchandise sales but you'd rather stick to being finnicky about everything. Yes, there's always room for critique as exemplified in Purple's recaps but when you're renowned for always 'fed bad'. it gets exhausting. Even Jim Cornette on his podcast/youtube gives em their flowers when due.
There's plethora of alternatives out there.
You could always switch to MMA or Boxing if prowrestling isn't scratching your realism itch.

I know a fellow goofy when I see one.

ValeeLove:
but why will WWE even consistently tell Punk to "make Roman look really strong". They made wrestling popular but no one can convince me that they didn't ruin it.

They wanted the guy that they had chosen to be the future face of the company to look strong in defeat. Oh no, the horror! CM Punk was so salty about this even after John Cena made him look strong during their feud.

Furthermore, wrestling is doing quite fine and is probably the best it has been since the late 00s. We have WWE doing its best work in a long time, we have a big money prospect in AEW and their ROH cross-promotional stuff, we have TNA still going strong, we have NWA Powerrr getting a TV deal with CW, we have a decent indie circuit, and we even have mudshow cringe like GCW. Not to mention the NJPW, Choco Pro, and Stardom in Japan and the whole Mexican wrestling circuit. We also have WWE increasing the talent pool with the PC, they now target ex highschool and college athletes with talent like Bianca Belair, Tiffany Stratton, Sol Ruca, and even Logan Paul come to mind. Wrestling fans are eating good.

ValeeLove:
let's pretend that WWE didn't do that for a desperate attempt at ratings for NXT. It was a bad idea from the start and I mentioned it. Nobody truly wins in things like this but una no wan listen.
Meanwhile where is the 1 million ratings she popped for one night; does it still exist after then? THINK LONGTERM.

NXT Ratings have been trending slightly upwards since last year. Even if you call the ratings "fake" or whatever, WWE always has some popular talent without much to do on the main roster that can be put into an NXT storyline, so how fake will it be at that point?

ValeeLove:
Scrutiny on the way:


Now Becky Lynch - a multi-time World champion - has lost to Lyra Valkyria - a developmental wrestler - what's her value? I'm curious.

Becky Lynch wins, wahala because she's burying young talent.

Becky Lynch loses, wahala because she's putting over young talent

Just the West stinking up anime again.

Yoruichi's English dub 🤮 VA, Wendi Lee got dropped from her role because she is a white woman and Yoruichi is black(?). She was then replaced with a black VA, Anairis Quinones. However, the deal fell through and Wendi Lee got her part back. Also, Quinines voices Hiyori who is not black so I don't even know what that's about.

This is coming after Chad's English VA stepped down from the role because he is white and Chad is Latino. Then we also have ProZD, an Asian English VA, saying that his agent told him he can only audition for Asian characters.

These niggas actually managed to bring back segregation. Back in the day you just cast the best person for the job. A black man voiced Samurai Jack, a black man voiced Darth Vader and nobody gave a damn.

Like just imagine if we brought all this race segregation into the casting of Hausa-dubbed Indian dramas. How would every HR department in Northern Nigeria ever recover?

In summary, "dub bad; sub good" is still mostly true.

Oil beans 300 from mama put, add water, small maggi and boil. Filter the beans and use the water as soup with fufu 200 in the morning eat the beans with garri in the evening.

Next day buy 2 indomie 300 and fufu 200 add enough water and spices let it be like pepper soup, use the fufu to swallow with the pepper soup in the morning then eat the filtered indomie in the evening.

With these you might end up spending 500 to 600 daily

I have a feeling that even Hamas is secretly bankrolled by Zionists.
This gives Isreal legitimacy to invade Palestine. Like you said, there is really no good or bad in this matter. My hope is that it doesn't spill into a worldwide conflict. Humans can be petty over little issues.
WWII started over the death of a single Austrian Prince.

Your feeling is actually just a straight-up fact. It is absolutely true that Israel secretly funded Hamas during its inception because they wanted the jihadist group to overshadow other moderate or secular anti-zionist movements at the time.

Palestinians are resisting the people that is using the name of God to steal land. So funny how you will say God gave you my land.

I still don't understand how the God people will need to steal land before surviving.

The so called Well trained soldiers cannot defeat Hamas for 40 years now.

Hamas has knew how to bypass Iron dome. Watch out more damages on the thieves.

Palestine want their country to be free but israel want to keep them under till eternity.

For the humanity sake..... we all stand with Palestine.

Israel stole Palestine's land. This is true.

That said, Hamas is still a terrorist organisation that targets civilians and even uses its own civilians as meat shields. Egypt doesn't allow Palestinians in as refugees because of their extremist jihadist views.

It is disgusting to defend murderous rapists and terrorists. Likewise, it is absolutely pathetic to watch black people in Nigeria calling Jews "God's chosen people".

There is no good side in this matter and the jihadists and Zionists both deserve whatever they get.

Realistically speaking though, Israel will destroy in Palestine in full-scale combat and now Hamas they gave them the justification they need.

He made it, guys.

Ladies and gentleman, a new high for the manga industry.

Happy 10th Anniversary to Kill la Kill. This makes it 10 years since the anime aired and roughly 6 years since I put it on hold at episode 2 and said I'd enjoy it later.

Damn, I'm getting old af.

A friend once told me I'll be terrible at keeping relationships because I can never commit to one anime. You seem to have the same problem. Stop NTRing your anime and commit to one at a time.
