The only WM match I checked in on was Sami/Owens, and I was surprised (even with WWE's history of doing this) by how little payoff there was.
The build was Sami has turned into a conspiracy nut, and Owens is going to beat the sense back into him. But then they just had a match, with very little storytelling to it, and it wended with Sami eating a pin, then walking away still mad and frustrated. What was the point?
I still check out SaltyBet every now and then. Gotta say, they really made an entertainment mistake by tiering their roster and eliminating a lot of the random chaos.
@davesavedtheday: Just give us inter-gender videogame wrestling already, for fuck's sake. As Brandon Stroud once said on this very site: "If you can buy Big Show VS Rey Misterio or the physics of an Irish Whip, you can buy a woman fighting a man."
I've heard the big excuse that it "glorifies domestic violence," but that's as stupid as saying the way things are now glorifies domestic violence in homosexual relationships. It's weaksauce and it needs to go in the same pile as """""""""""""HILARIOUS"""""""""""""" blackface. Something else wrestling took way too long to throw out.
I like and want intergender matchups, but there are def ways to fuck it up. Lucha Underground got it wrong constantly, with spots like Alberto El Patron spanking Taya.
HOW has Brad never head that LFO song? How did he escape the 90s without hearing it? Lucky. lol
Honestly, it mostly passed me by too. By the late 90's, I was thru with radio and just getting all my music from going to punk shows, so stuff like that and "Butterfly" passed me by with little more than a glancing 'oh that looks bad'.
