Which is what is helping me enjoy WWE now. I sit through months of awful awful stuff and bared with it for the bright spots of stuff I enjoyed. So that satisfaction of enjoying it is top notch feelings.
Pretty much how I was with NOAH because for a while it was bad, but I kept through it and it get better so I understand that fully

no im just always shocked your constantly adding ppl to the list of wrestlers you dont like is all.
The list isn't as long as it seems and most of it is due to fans more than the wrestler themselves to some degree. I also use the term hate and dislike interchangeably. The only wrestler I truly hate is Punk, and that would be a essay on its own. Cody, Cole, The Bucks, Jericho, and Mercedes I strongly dislike mainly because of their fans, how they pride themselves like they are the second coming of Jesus, and how everyone just treats them like they are these amazing stars, and a few other minor things. And I get that is all opinion base, which is fine and dandy, but when you get told your opinion is invalid you tend to fight that back towards them. As for the Noami thing, if she went to IMPACT she would get the belt handed to her because "ex-wwe" and all that shit and that burns me. Call it old school thought or whatever, but i have the thought if someone has busted their ass they deserve a reward. Like how Mayu deserved being the ingural champion or Kairi, for example. My "hate" is meant to come off as criticism more than anything else or a showing of a difference of opinion.

And I will be honest I do have a gatekeeper supercity complex/tendency to me, I am sure people are aware of that, but I have been trying my hardest to get rid of that mentally, but it is hard to do since ever since I was on forums, I had to play defense so much. Mean hell, I went from being the biggest Kenny Omega hater to exposing that I am a huge fan of him and have been since his days in DDT, and I have explain my reasoning on that.

Anyways, I am sure that covers everything and all. I am going to go take some acid medicine, try to go to sleep, and remember to never drink Red Bull again.

Hatred of a wrestler and hatred of their fans are two different things.

but considering her husband is part of the biggest storyline in WWE I can’t imagine she couldn’t have worked something out with them.
Just shows that nepotism doesn't always have to play a part in negotiations, which is actually a good thing.

Especially if you have one person being an important part of the biggest storyline of the company, while the other person is a mid-tier talent (which hasn't been over on a longer, consistent basis for years at that point), who also simply wouldn't fit at all into that specific story.

Yeah i think disliking a wrestler because others like them is immature and stifling your own enjoyment for no reason.

Honestly don't see her going anywhere on her own unless it's back to the WWE, she's probably fine shadowing Sasha around and riding her wave.

Yeah, but you aren't annoying though. That is the difference, lol. You Sammy banter and all doesn't annoy like others.

Yeah it makes us even.

Missed my point totally, but I digress. And I honestly, I never enjoyed anyone I mentioned in my post, but again I digress.

Trinity Starr... that's a good porn star name.

:hayden3

Wherever she'll ends up, I truly wish her the best. Who knows, maybe it's gonna be an actual career resurgence.
