Thanks, I don't follow WWE , didn't know there are some problems there, (never understand why people might be interested in such a thing, they can watch movies if they want fake fights)

 

US wrestling is actually paying pretty good to its successful wrestlers. it's good news to watch him in action once again. he never met our top guy (only trash talking between them lol) 125kg will be very interesting in Belgrade with him, Akgul, Geno, that Mongolian tough guy and our wrestler (Zare or the new guy Masoumi)

I still can't forget how Geno lost to him in the very last second in Tokyo :cry: 

Many true sports entertainment wrestling fans like myself watch wrestling for the storylines that are created and, particularly with the European wrestlers, to watch big beefy men beat the shit out of each other. As for Gable, he hasn't wrestled a match since he signed and has hardly been featured. WWE clearly don't think he's ready, and think sending him down to their developmental brand (NXT) will waste his marketability potential and ruin how he comes across to fans. Maybe that's why he's been allowed to go back to traditional wrestling, to hone in his skills more and improve on a more relevant stage.

Hone what skills? Smashing a chair on someone's head? C'mon it's just choreography :lol:

it's not only the fights, it's a show at 360 degrees, it's more about the characters and the plots between the "stables".

 

it's the eternal "good heroes vs the bad boys" representation.

 

most people in the western world love this kind of things...it's like being on the set of a JC Van Damme movie all the time.

still, you have to be a decent actor to play that choreography in a reasonably good manner. ;)

 

more likely, they couldn't afford to pay Steveson as much as he wanted and started with the "not ready yet" excuse and moved him to the not so profitable 2nd tier league.

Most of the matches you see aren't choreographed. All of the wrestlers you see often improvise their matches and liaison with the other wrestler in the middle of the match to tell them what move to do next. There are obviously some spots that are pre determined beforehand, but a lot of it is improv (unless you're Logan Paul, who I don't count as a wrestler, who has all his matches pre choreographed months in advance).

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
