WWE superstar Elias chirps the city of Toronto and the Maple Leafs

[lomiller1]

Jericho is a Winnipeg boy

@irunthepeg

So is Kenny Omega

Brock Lesnar lives just in Saskatchewan just a couple min away from the Manitoba border. He's apparently friends with Byfuglien and shows up at Jets games once in a while.

It's all scripted and fake just like the WWE itself.

Just like the marvel universe.

[McGarnagle]

I love how this thread has gone

Non-Leaf fans and easygoing Leaf fans with a sense of humor: Heh, that was pretty good

Oversensitive Leaf fans: WRESTING IS FAKE AND FOR HICKS AND STUPID PEOPLE

 

[BrockLobster]

So when they punch or kick each other in the face, it's with the same impact and force as UFC?

No?

Then it's fake.

No. They are actually leaping onto each other. They are actually hitting each other. Its not mirror tricks. Its really happening. Its choreographed, not fake.

Probably all the Leaf fans like Seth Melvinson who have never seen the Leafs live because they cannot even afford to get into the building.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Nobody.

That is the answer.

Wrestling is fake and terrible.

Wrestling is not the equivalent to a TV show like Game of Thrones.

It's the equivalent to the Bachelor.

It's portrayed as real love but everyone knows it's not.

 

[Paris in Flames]

Hot Take: wrestlers put their body through more than almost any other athlete.

Don't @ me

 

[Lunatik]

You mean like every other form of television entertainment? Or do you think Ironman is real?

Don't @ me

I think Kevin Owens has been through more in the last 2 months than a full season of any professional sport.

 

[irunthepeg]

Love it!

They had to get Trish to defend Toronto's honor though? Couldn't they get Edge or Christian out there?

Isn't Jericho Toronto a Toronto native as well? I forget.

"I'M FROM WINNIPEG, YOU IDIOT!"

Class Jericho line

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Its actually not fake. What you see is really happening. Its scripted.

 

[Ms Maggie]

Amazes me WWE is a thing. Meh. To each their own.

 

[BrockLobster]

I love that guy

No wonder he quit!

 

[Lays]

Completely forgot the WWE still exists. Used to be great when I was younger and then they got all PG and corny.

 

[SeidoN]

So many NJPW marks these days

 

[Lunatik]

That and having to work in Toronto.

 

[BrockLobster]

Game of Thrones is terrible.

And i thought i was alone with this opinion! I watched half of season and couldn't continue. It was brutal.

 

[bigdirty]

I was really hoping this thread would result in some nice Maple Leafs/WWE photoshop mash-up.

Kadri hitting a low blow while the ref's back is turned, Lamoriello turning on Shanahan with a chair shot, etc. Lot's of potential.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

As someone who is fine with it all, it really does bother me when people even bother to say the two companies compare: they do not. One is vastly superior, even when its booking blows (WWE).

(I know that isn't what you were saying and you were even just kidding of course, but just mentioning NJPW and how people go nuts for it triggered me to say this, hah).

 

[VickAshley]

The biggest joke is wrestling in general. The second biggest joke is how he is wearing his grandmothers nighty

It's literally called a Kimono not a "nighty" and it's actually a ROBE that actual MEN wear in Japan, let's try to actually be knowledgeable about attire and international lounge-wear before saying such ignorant and culturally insensitive things like this, please.

 

[Rodgerwilco]

Nobody.

That is the answer.

Wrestling is fake and terrible.

Oooo, hot take!

 

[Paris in Flames]

That and having to work in Toronto.

I am now an offended Leafs fan.

How tf do people not know what kimonos are? That's a Japanese thing that crossed the pond that I thought people were pretty well aware of.
