AJS269 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 The entire argument that Shimmer "only hires good wrestlers" goes out the window when they gave/give Daffney bookings regularly. A girl who can't even take a fucking bump right.  Calling her an "athlete" isn't fooling anyone. She's used to draw in the perverts who like goth girls, there is no denying it.  When has anyone said they "Only hire good wrestlers" the selling point of Shimmer is that it takes womens wrestling seriously unlike say TNA or WWE.  Also Shimmer was brought up to show that it is wrong to say NOBODY buys tickets to see women wrestle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAFKA Family Guy PMSL Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Yeah Lita was obviously deeply emotionally scarred by her send-off. That's why she's made a couple of cameo appearances since and has remained on good terms with the company. I bet Jericho was really pissed off with those security guards who carried him out of the building when he was fired in 2005 too. Edit: daz  I'm not saying it was emotionally scaring I was saying it was disrespectful. Big difference.  Yes, and the counter-point you ignored was that she clearly didn't feel disrespected, otherwise it wouldn't have happened.  The second point was it's not real, and that it wasn't actually Amy Dumas' vibrator John Cena was waiving about.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2011 What's their biggest ever attendance at shimmer? And what's their average pretty much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJS269 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 That's how heels are supposed to leave companies, though. It's like Chuckles said, with the Jericho thing, he was asked if he had heat with the company for his exit and his answer was something to the effect of 'No....I'm a bad guy. It'd be shit if I was clapped out the arena.'  Being escorted out by security and being humilitated and implied to be a slut are two different things though. Just have her at the end getting beaten, going on the mike saying something to the effect of "Fuck this Shit I'm leaving" ala JBL at WM25 and end it at that.

Paid Members air_raid Posted May 2, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 2, 2011 The Icon is quite clearly Newcomer of the Year thus far. Â Fittingly for a lad called "The Icon," if the pCc were modelled after the order themselves, I'd propose pursuing him like he was motherfucking Sting. Â If he's not interested, I'll get a mate with a similar IPP to sign up and pretend to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Whats your point, its more than zero, which was what my point was. I think its about the same as any average indy show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 As for the Jericho thing I'm sure I read (maybe in his 2nd book?) that it was his idea to be carried out kicking and screaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â But, her character was a bit of a slut so there was no real difference. Â I don't get your point, really. She was portrayed as an absolutely MASSIVE slut during the whole 'live sex celebration' shenanigans, but because she's leaving she should be treated with some reverance? Why? it's still a work whether you're staying or going. Stop being such a sentimental ponce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted May 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2011 Being escorted out by security and being humilitated and implied to be a slut are two different things though. Â But she was implied to be a slut for the last 2 years of so of her tenure there. It was pretty much her gimmick, so there's nothing wrong with that last appearance. It made perfect sense. Â What's their biggest ever attendance at shimmer? And what's their average pretty much? Â Whats your point, its more than zero, which was what my point was. I think its about the same as any average indy show. Â More than zero people bought Heroes of Wrestling. Doesn't necessarily make it a good draw. Â Does shimmer draw better than GLOW, for instance?

She had sex with Edge live on Raw, she fucked Matt Hardy off while he was injured to shag Edge, got pregnant by Kane for some reason that escapes me, and sucked Vince McMahon off at one point to help her man out.  Now I know it gets confusing, because one of those things actually happened, but if you can't see the line between fiction and reality, you should stop watching TV before you're stood in your local Town Center hitting Leslie Grantham with a handbag for shagging Michelle Fowler.

Daffney is never going to win awards for being a five star worker, but she is no where near as bad as you make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
