THE WRESTLING THREAD: BROCK LESNAR HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!!!

No, that's mark thinking and the reason why AEW is in the situation they're in.
Doesn't matter if you're a trillion dollar company, you don't just throw whatever dollar amount people want in order to sign them.
Eventually, you will run out of money. Look what happened to WCW.
Like I said before, she'll eventually make her way back to WWE and at a reasonable salary.

Mercedes should go for the bank, she’s worth every penny. Not sure WWE will meet her demands, but they will definitely sign her after some negotiations.

AEW is in the situation it's in because of bad booking not high salaries.



We're not talking about any average wrestler here. We're talking about a generational talent. You give them what they want. Not everybody will or should be making the amount of money Mercedes would be making.



Again I'm not saying everyone should get big time money. Only the few who deserves it.

You all seem to forget that WWE has Jade Cargill going through the PC. I think NXT would be a waste as the women's division there is SUPER cookie cutter. You HAVE to put her on the main roster! Mercedes leaving just opened up that spot for her. Unless you want to bring her back to NXT and she's not having that

I agree Im pretty sure her request for top dollar is to secure her place as the main event. They are not going to pay her top dollar to put over the NXT Talent. I am sure that is her reservation with returning, She does not want to become Natalya.

Yeah she tweaking....she's a great talent but I think she needs WWE more than they need her....I don't feel the women's department is lacking. Right now they have a bunch of good wrestlers that still need pushes.

This right here...

I'm all for her getting paid...but WWE has a whole farm system full of talent they can mold into superstars. Mercedes/Sasha is a superstar but she CAN be replaced.

The whole Four Horsewomen thing adds luster in her coming back, but WWE doesn't need her. She doesn't need WWE either, but she'll never be as big a star elsewhere.

I can see why Charlotte got paid, she's a star and has always played by the book. Can't recall her having backstage issues, so I can see that as a reason for her getting paid.

Mercedes has walked out a few times, and although that was under different leadership, I hope that doesn't work against her. Her and WWE would have to meet in the middle. I hope she doesn't price herself out.

I really don't get the appeal of Riho. She about the same size as my 13 year old daughter. I always look at (male) wrestling fans that love her work a certain way.

LOL, every time I see her on TV I always think who let this 12 year old girl get in the ring and wrestle.
And she always has that same confused look on her face. :lol:

A female wrestler's size never concerned me. If you can work you can work. Doesn't matter how small you are. Those old sexist Vince McMahon/Jim Cornette perceptions of what a women’s wrestler should look like need to die. Riho can't help it that she's small that same way Rey Mysterio can't help it that he's small. You are what you are and your size shouldn't stop you if you want to be a successful professional wrestler.

Hey, I've always liked basketball, but I'm too short to play in the NBA. I accepted that long ago.
Does that mean I should be allowed to play on an NBA team just because I want it really bad and it's always been my dream? LOL
Yes, there are outliers like Muggsy Bogues and Spud Webb, but they are the rare exception.

Size matters in wrestling and you're not going to be taken seriously when you weigh 80lbs soaking wet.
Even with Rey, the only reason he got that big push and won the title at WM was because of Eddie's death.

Rey at least looks like he throws weight around in the gym.

Riho looks like she plays on the JV golf team at her high school....

It's not about being allowed to play in the NBA it's about having the skill level necessary to play in the NBA. If you had handles like Tim Hardaway, passing ability like John Stockton and scoring ability like Issah Thomas. YOU would be in the NBA regardless of your size. Never automatically discredit yourself because of size.

Exception or not if it's possible IT CAN BE DONE!

Size doesn't matter in wrestling because we're talking about a fake scripted sport that has people with supernatural comic book gimmicks. Once you allow that shit in you can't come back and say Riho can't be taken serious or isn't realistic because of her size. Professional wrestling isn't real combat sports. It will never be 100% realistic nor it should be.

I think it's just the princess get-up she uses. She should switch it up for American audiences. She's no smaller than some of top women in WWE. Hell Alexa Bliss was running around knocking bitches out with one punch not too long ago.
 
Lolz I'm not even into blonde white girls like that but this is what I mean by Alexa Bliss looks like a woman. Riho looks like a damned child.

Do like Mercedes and test yourself against the best women's wrestlers in the world in "Stardom" THEN come back to WWE.

And that's why they re-signed.
Click to expand...
Yeah I'm just surprised at a lot of people on X and Reddit who act surprised that some of these people re-signed. Mercedes always spoke about her love for joshi wrestling and wanting to wrestle in Japan. Her leaving is no surprise. She's young, of course she'll be back eventually.

Charlotte has never wrestled outside of WWE and became a wrestler later in life after her brother's death. She's never leaving. Becky did the indies, than quit and finally got into WWE. She's never leaving either. Bayley I will say I would not have been surprised if she had left and tried another promotion for a bit. She's friends with a lot of non WWE wrestlers. But she's has a hot streak going now, so I understand.

Crazy that damn near all of these women have been featured on Raw in recent weeks....
