May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981340 Yeah I would expect if push comes to shove Sasha would go into making movies/TV at this point, especially if she can ride the Disney train with her Star Wars gig.
May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981341 If Sasha is stuck with her WWE contract she pretty much has to go Hollywood to have any leverage.
May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981342 She had like 2 lines on the Mandalorian, this idea that she has a burgeoning Hollywood career is a bit of an exaggeration.

You realize it's not Rock level or bust in terms of wrestlers going into movies/TV, right? No one's saying she's going to be an A+ superstar actress, but she can easily carve out a nice career that probably pays as much or more than WWE without the bullshit.

The Mandalorian and the Star Wars universe are a million times bigger than WWE is or ever will be, so even if she was a background extra with no lines, that would still make her instantly more famous and culturally relevant than any top WWE wrestler.

There are actors who aren't huge movie stars?????? NO. I'm sure she could parlay her success into some sort of acting gig, but you've watched Sasha Banks, you've heard her cut a promo? You watched the build to the Belair match at Mania last year, do you think that she's a good actress? Do you think that she really could make a ton of money acting? She might, I don't know, all I'm saying is let's pump the brakes on this idea that she can make a great living in Hollywood tomorrow, it's not exactly the easiest business. 43 minutes ago, C.S. said: The Mandalorian and the Star Wars universe are a million times bigger than WWE is or ever will be, so even if she was a background extra with no lines, that would still make her instantly more famous and culturally relevant than any top WWE wrestler. Ok, this is just silly. There are no background extras more famous or relevant than people who are on national network TV every week. Name one.

As far as I could tell, this was definitely not the case? Her segment felt a bit random, but I'm hoping they don't turn her at least.

It was an exaggerated response to your silly post minimizing Sasha's role in Mandalorian because she had "2-3 lines." That alone still makes more famous and relevant than even the top WWE names, period. Star Wars is a worldwide phenomenon. WWE is a niche with a cult following that depletes more and more every year.
May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981352 Let's put it like this : way, WAY more people around the world have actually *seen* Sasha Banks, without knowing who the hell she is, than people who know who Roman Reigns is.

I'll cop to minimalizing it, but only because everyone else seems to be maximalizing it. I'm sure a ton of people have 'seen' Sasha Banks, and I'm sure a ton of people will 'see' all sorts of people in very popular things, and this doesn't have anything to do with the popularity or lack thereof, of the WWE, it has to do with simply appearing on a popular show does not make you a successful working actor.
May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981355 And while we'd have to actually know Naomi's salary to really know, as a fan of B-movies, someone with Naomi's "name" from both her WWE run and her Total Divas years means that she's not going to starve making Lifetime or Hallmark movies or straight-to-streamers. As others have said, being a working actor can be quite lucrative, take way less toll on your body, and allows you much more freedom to pursue other jobs (she could still work indies and conventions, for example). So, yeah, Naomi might not land a dream job with Marvel like Batista did or be the next Rock, but I could see her landing a few roles here and there that will likely be more than enough to keep her not only making money but healthy and happy. Again, we'd have to know her current salary though and compare that to SAG minimums, for example.
May 17, 20223 yr comment_5981356 Not to mention, open an OnlyFan for 6 months and sell pictures that WWE would put in the magazines in the late 90's and make some EZ money.

It's more about the connections she can have after The Mandalorian. Having Favreu cast you because he saw you on "Hot Ones" on Youtube (pretty telling THAT'S were Sasha grabbed his eye), getting the gig, being good at it to the point you continue to be on the show for more episodes in Star Wars hottest franchise in 2022 is a better entry point into Hollywood than most other gigs.
May 18, 20223 yr comment_5981365 Time for NXT, as far as I can tell no one's left the building so we're off to better start.
May 18, 20223 yr comment_5981367 however minor Sasha's role is or was, she did manage to get an action figure made off of it.
May 18, 20223 yr comment_5981369 Sasha has kind of felt like she's had one foot out ever since she came back from that hiatus from severe depression due to WWE beating her love of wrestling out of her. She's had a lot of great performances since then, but the spark has been out of her eyes ever since. She's had the rug pulled out from her and consistently pushed aside in favor of Charlotte/Ronda/Bliss. If they really were going to have both Naomi and Sasha job to the singles champs (on the same show no less) while the tag champs, I can see why they'd be like "why the fuck are we even the champs then" and leaving.
May 18, 20223 yr comment_5981375 I'm sure bringing over Jordan Devlin (who lost a loser leave NXT UK match) won't cause any issues with a PC full barely legal women.

I mean, being the little brother to one of the greatest tag teams ever and cousin to the TRIBAL CHIEF must have helped a lot. The Anoa'i family might as well be the greatest dinasty in wrestling.
May 18, 20223 yr Author comment_5981380 Man, I think Lash has a very high ceiling. She seems to improve every single match, has freaky agility and is strong as fuck. Plus she can talk and actually work a crowd. I did enjoy the story of Taytum trying to lift her but ultimately failing. Maybe in the future?
May 18, 20223 yr Author comment_5981381 Bron Breakker has that main event tan going on. Holy shit he's ORANGE. But man, I really don't give a single fuck about Gacy.
