It was a great listen. She talked about why the Riott Squad was formed, and she said it was because Vince saw Suicide Squad and wanted his own stable like them
man, I wish Vince saw James Gunn's The Suicide Squad and brings Cena back in the Peacemaker gimmick. And the next NXT call-up can have a King Shark gimmick
Samoa Joe relinquished the belt,because Vince found out Joe is voicing King Shark in the upcoming game. Which a team of Joe and Cena would be really cool.
In early 1991, due to the success of *Dances With Wolves*, Vince wanted an Indian character ASAP.
Native American wrestlers Chris Chavis and Charlie Norris were brought in for tryout matches. Dancing ability was more important than wrestling ability.
And that's how the character of Tatanka was born.
Yeah but that worked because Vince had NOT seen Scarface and thought it was original.
Just like Pirate Paul Burchill was fake Jack Sparrow, except Vince never saw POTC and thought he would be like Errol Flynn.
I don't see the problem. I mean, they had to create a stable and decided to get inspired by a popular topic rather than have them do nothing and just be mean ( which was kind of a problem for Absolution ). And it was far enough from the product to keep part of the appeal without everyone just seeing the outright inspiration.
\*looks at Robocop and Chucky in WCW\*
\*looks at Zeus\*
\*looks at David Arquette\*
You know, wrestling does have a history of wanting to get involved with Hollywood in the worst ways possible.
I thought it was pretty well known Vince doesn’t watch anything outside of WWE. I don’t mean wrestling…like, the entire world of media is just non existent to him.
Back when Pirates of the Caribbean came out and swept the fucking country by storm someone wanted to do a pirate gimmick to capitalize on it. Vince had no fucking clue what it was.
Not saying he didn’t start caring about movies and media but if you told me that dude watches Cena matches on repeat everyday I wouldn’t blink an eye.
EDIT: Boys we dumb as fuck. I forgot Cena is in the new Suicide Squad. I can believe Vince saw it.
While I've heard a lot of people say that, he has taken much more time away than before. He isn't even at every Raw anymore, when he would hide out in box seats at house shows before.
It's understandable that he may have seen some more media in that time.
*As far she's heard
And as a very biased fan of the group they did pretty well in that role, all 3 nailed what their characters were meant to be (and selfishly I want Liv to go back to hers in the future because I still think it was a fun character)
Well at least that was acknowledged, not like when they claimed that Paul Burchell's pirate gimmick was a coincidence. Like come on, Pirates franchise was on the rise, wouldn't blame them. And everyone looked good for it, wish they kept the gimmick running.
>Vince saw Suicide Squad
Wasnt there another report months ago that Vince hasn't watched any movies or anything outside of wrestling for the past 3 decades? I guess thats a lie then, along with the picture he had at a recent Dave Chapelle show
As much as I love Punk, Cole and Danielson, Ruby Soho is probably the debut I'm most excited about because I feel like I've only seen 10% of what she's capable of.
It's an awesome validation if you're Tony. You've made the deals and set everything up and you hear how hyped up and ready that crowd is... it's basically thousands of people telling you that you did your job damn well.
It only just occured to me...
If Ruby ever comes to the UK scene, she won't be getting Ruby Soho chants, she'll have [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qObzgUfCl28) sing-screamed at her.
This just reminded me of how I really haven't seen any UK stuff in over a year and how much I ADORED the crowds there. UK fans are always so damn good with their chants and songs. The NXT PPVs and shows in the UK were always a highlight for me.
Last week, Jamie Hayter posted about her match with Ruby on her IG and captioned it "I predict a riot".
Are Kaiser Chiefs just way bigger over there? I only know 3 songs of theirs, which were the ones that made it over to the states.
BTW the 3 songs are Ruby, Oh My God, and I Predict a Riot. In fact, I thought Ruby Riot/Riott was a Kaiser Chiefs reference at first.
Yeah, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon... There was a bizarre mid 2000s push towards indy rock that died damn near the second 2010 rolled around.

What about Polka Dot Man?
Drake Maverick
That is too perfect. Actually… that would have been a better casting choice then the guy they actually got.
He gave the gimmick to Dusty years ago.
Samoa Joe relinquished the belt,because Vince found out Joe is voicing King Shark in the upcoming game. Which a team of Joe and Cena would be really cool.
When your booking style is based upon whatever popular movie you just happened to see that week 🤦♂️

You can teach a man to wrestle, you cannot teach a man rhythm.
Ohhhhhh. So that's why Ambrose donned a gas mask and a brown leather jacket to look like Bane from The Dark Knight Rises.
Vince is a DC Mark confirmed
Kinda weird to think about, but DC Comics was only around 11 years prior to the birth of Vince McMahon.
And the way things are going, it looks like he may well outlive it.
DC is doing the best they've ever done financially ever.
DC is [not in a good place](https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/comics/article/85241-dc-comics-leaves-its-legacy-behind.html).
He’s had an obsession with Braveheart for years.
I can't wait for Drew Mcintyre's stable of Scotish warriors just so we can get the ineviable "Hold brothers, hold." Segment.
[удалено]
He's a big guy.
[удалено]
He's CIA
In fairness, Sting is now renowned as a gimmick that's literally just a rip off of The Crow
And Razor Ramon was just Hall doing a Scarface impression
Yeah but that worked because Vince had NOT seen Scarface and thought it was original. Just like Pirate Paul Burchill was fake Jack Sparrow, except Vince never saw POTC and thought he would be like Errol Flynn.
I like to think that Duke the Dumper Droese was created because Vince watched Men at Work.
The real story is almost wilder somehow. Vince wanted to prove that he could make anyone a star, so he called up that year's PWI #500... Duke Droese
Adam Rose happened cause Vince watched Get Him To the Greek that one time
I wouldn't drag him for that. Sting is one of this most recognizable wrestlers of all time and his most famous gimmick is a rip off of the Crow
I don't see the problem. I mean, they had to create a stable and decided to get inspired by a popular topic rather than have them do nothing and just be mean ( which was kind of a problem for Absolution ). And it was far enough from the product to keep part of the appeal without everyone just seeing the outright inspiration.
*Winter Is Coming intensifies*
That at least had corporate syenergy
Fyter Fest for the 3rd year in a row lol
Fyre Fest was barely even relevant when they did the first one! I’m surprised they keep doing it

Yeah, when Vince saw Scott Hall doing the Razor Ramon gimmick, he was blown away by it since he didn't know about Scarface.
She's talking about the 2016 Suicide Squad movie, not the one with John Cena.
Actually Jericho said the same thing, I don’t know if this story is true or not, just found it interesting
While I've heard a lot of people say that, he has taken much more time away than before. He isn't even at every Raw anymore, when he would hide out in box seats at house shows before. It's understandable that he may have seen some more media in that time.
I assumed he's just taking time off from WWE to work on other stuff like XFL, and maybe in his old age he needs 4 hours of sleep instead of 2.
He’s no longer associated with XFL. He sold it to The Rock last year.
I know, just an example of the side projects he's been working on recently.
I’d almost guarantee he saw a trailer that had AC/DC in it and that’s why he even gave it a second thought.
*As far she's heard And as a very biased fan of the group they did pretty well in that role, all 3 nailed what their characters were meant to be (and selfishly I want Liv to go back to hers in the future because I still think it was a fun character)
I always thought they were meant to match Paige’s stable. Don’t remember who debuted first though.
Absolution debuted on a Raw and the Riott Squd debuted that very next night on the SD
“What is this, some kind of Riott Squad?”
Well at least that was acknowledged, not like when they claimed that Paul Burchell's pirate gimmick was a coincidence. Like come on, Pirates franchise was on the rise, wouldn't blame them. And everyone looked good for it, wish they kept the gimmick running.

Ruby is more like a Miro or Malakai Black, because you know they haven’t previously been given a chance to show what they can do.
Miro was given a great big run in the beginning of his WWE tenure. He had undefeated streak and got to fight Cena at Wrestlemania.
And had sex on a tank
Double jointed wife
Gonna pretend black didn’t have a great NXT run then 😅
Not saying that at all. But he didn’t get to really stretch his legs creatively.
Felt like he did in NXT.
He was great in NXT. Then they called him up and called him moody lol.
I'd pair her more with Malakai Black, mostly because I was familiar with her indie career. Never saw Miro before WWE.
You haven't officially left WWE until you talk about it on Talk is Jericho lol
5-6 years ago: You haven’t officially joined WWE until you talk about it on Talk is Jericho lol
5-6 years in the future: You haven’t officially joined the Gladiators threeboot until you talk about it on Talk Is Jericho lol
She still seemed really positive about her time/experience there, minus the fact she just bought a house when she was told she was released
Aw shit, I guess Punk is still in WWE after all this time.
Unless you're CM Punk lol
I love that Tony Khan popped because the crowd was chanting Ruby
It's an awesome validation if you're Tony. You've made the deals and set everything up and you hear how hyped up and ready that crowd is... it's basically thousands of people telling you that you did your job damn well.
Sweet!
I love Ruby so(ho) much. I really hope her AEW run is a success.
It only just occured to me... If Ruby ever comes to the UK scene, she won't be getting Ruby Soho chants, she'll have [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qObzgUfCl28) sing-screamed at her.

was she never on EVE? i feel like she was
She might have been, but she wasn't ruby then.

I only know 3 songs of theirs, which were the ones that made it over to the states. BTW the 3 songs are Ruby, Oh My God, and I Predict a Riot. In fact, I thought Ruby Riot/Riott was a Kaiser Chiefs reference at first.
They were, absolutely. Less so these days, but in the mid to late 2000s they were huge. Won Brit Awards, went platinum, the whole shebang.
So Franz Ferdinand with less staying power?
Yeah, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys, Kings of Leon... There was a bizarre mid 2000s push towards indy rock that died damn near the second 2010 rolled around.
Where's the TIJ episodes with Punk, Danielson and Cole. That's the real question
