    My recent declaration

    Yesterday, I said that I would no longer mention people´s names when I post replies or begin to weave threads here. I just want to make an amendment to that. If I hear or see something I find unsettling for whatever reasons, I would rather not mention the name of the person. I will refer to them...

    Was Connor the Crusher a work?

    I hate to ask this so much. As I type this, I wish I wasn't writing the words you're about to read, but I need to get them off my chest. I've asked this question on another forum and some have said that it's possible that WWE used Connor to promote the company's image. If that was so, WWE...

    Why are shoots and promos scripted?

    Who came up with it? I mean, ECW never had scripted promos and it seemed very natural to me. People like the Rock and Scott Steiner used to deviate from the script and they delivered some of the most hard hitting and intense promos ever. So, why script promos?

    Vince Mcmahon's criminal threats

    I knew that "Mr. Mcmahon" always went off the deep end verbally, but during his feud with the Undertaker, he crossed the legal line. Please, check out this video and tell me that Vince qualifies as capital felon material under most civilised countries' laws... How on earth did he get away...

    Evaluation thread

    I thought it might be helpful for us to give feedback to each other about our threads and replies to help us recognise the best parts of us and, explore certain aspects of our forum personalities. For example, how would say my Teller Tristan persona on the shoot thread is doing?

    Mishandled legends

    1996 was a year in which a number of people got used badly. I don't know why and I would really like to. Let's start with Ron Simmons. When he first came to WWE as Roman gladiatoreasque Farooq Asad, until the NOD, he was like a rampaging bull. He had a very fast, hard hitting style, he...

    Little white lies

    I've noticed that since the mid 90's, there's been a tendency for people to lie, either in scripted events, or in legal cases pertaining WWE. I don't know if it happened before, but from what I know, it's become a tendency that's reared its ugly head from time to time and led to unpleasant or...

    The shoot thread

    I'd like to spin this thread to give us wrestling fans a chance to air our own shoots, using our favorite wrestlers, or our own fictional wrestlers. We've all Scott Steiner and CM Punk do their own shoots, so, since we were all tadpoles once, we can all turn into princes just like they did...

    Transcription thread

    There are times when the wrestlers expres themsevles using a kind of linguo that isn´t immediately understandable because it uses facts and figures to convey meanings. I get the jist of what they say, but sometimes I feel like captions might be helpful at times. Like, in his autobiography...

    The Total Divas Pipebomb

    On rare occasion, the wrestling world has been rocked by unscripted promos that have sent shockwaves throughout its land. One such example was the pipebomb dropped by AJ on the Divas Division in the summer of 2013. I'd like to pay tribute to it by sharing the slurs and taunts that Eva Marie...

    Does sex act like a drug?

    I ask because, according to what I read, men and women produce oxytocin, (which is a biological version of cocaine), and endorphin (which is a biological version of morphine, when they climax and during sex. Are romantic and married couples a breed of junkie? :emoji_hushed:

    Bullet shock

    In many films and video games, bullet shock has been exhibited in various ways, but one event that can happen that I'm not sure about is passing out from the shock of a bullet. What causes this to happen?

    Forms of dancing used in WWE and their uses

    Sometimes I see wrestlers doing a kind of dancing in which they hook one arm through their partner's and dance around in a circle with up to three people. What's this form called? I couldn't find it on the net. And when this particular kind of dance is done by wrestlers, what is it supposed to...

    The barb thread

    I thought we could release our darker conceptions of the world of wrestling. It could act as a helpful form of therapy and to create dark humor. Anything I post here won't be deliberately offensive. It's just inhibitions coming out that I always keep under lock and key. Let's see... I was...

    Lost in translation

    Sometimes, I think WWE scripting can use a few too many words in foreign language dialogue, or it uses expressions that translate in a funny way. I am nearly fully fluent in French. I can already read the language at an expert level. I can also listen almost as well. I can certainly spot certain...

    Why weren't some scenes filmed differently?

    I've been a cinema buff for many years. I've made it one of my keenest personal interests and I still enjoy a good flick, but truth be told, my attachment to the film industry is weakening. At times, I feel like films don't carry out scenes as effectively as they should and this tends to leave...

    Before and after

    Prove me wrong if I am, but I've noticed that some of the wrestlers change when they bring children into the world. Some even changed when they got married. Let's start with Triple H and Stephanie. From what I've observed in 2006-2013, both toned down a lot. They had their kids around this time...

    The concept of respect

    After reading various works of literature, seeing a wide variety of films and watching the news, I have arrived at the conclusion that for some reason, beating someone up is a way of teaching them respect. It is a street mentality that you can find in violent urban areas. The question is, why...

    Who am I?

    I thought I'd post this in the gaming session so we could play a little game. I'm going to write in the style of a Marvel character and I'd like you to see if you can guess who I am. 'They didn't take regular jobs. They turned away from them. Their paths in life were easier to choose than...

    Why did AJ leave WWE?

    I think this question should be asked for the following reasons... April Jeanette was only 28 years old when she retired from in-ring competion. True, she had a problem with her cervical spine, but since she hadn't yet reached 30, (the age of full physical maturity), reconstructive surgery or...
