YMMV / WSU

• Broken Base
  • Becky Bayless the manager is one of the most celebrated women on the independent circuit. Becky Bayless the wrestler is a lot more contentious. To a lesser extent, Alicia and whether orr not the quality of her matches deteriorated around the time she left WSU, or how forgivable that was if so.
  • A lot of things about transfer of company ownership from Sean McCaffrey to Drew Cordeiro, after the former stepped down due to health issues. That is all. Unless you want to mention the transfer from Drew Cordeiro to DJ Hyde, which most people seem in favor of. At worst the brighter, happier Uncensored to United rebranding is divided between annoyance and indifference.
• Fandom Rivalry:
  • During the fallout with Beyond Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Syndicate stocked up on many disillusioned WSU favorites for it's BLOW offshoot and ran it in succession with it's standard shows parallel CZW, who had acquired WSU in the interim and began running joint events with it. Luckily for WSU, PWS had to deal with wrestlers not showing up and technical difficulties, which took a toll on BLOW's booking, so WSU didn't lose too much of its audience in the long run. However, the number of WSU shows proper drastically shrunk and the BLOW brand resurfaced in 2016...only to disappear along with the entirety of PWS due to internal upheavals. Whether or not CZW/WSU is/was better than PWS/BLOW, it certainly proved more reliable.
  • SHIMMER vs WSU vs SHINE, the three most prominent women's wrestling promotions in the USA. Between the three, the most vocal was WSU-SHINE, mainly because Made In Sin and Valkyrie were seen as "ripoffs" of The Midwest Militia and Rain's Army, and because like BLOW, SHINE came up when WSU was losing ground. Shine's would fire back that many women upped their game or revitalized themselves in Shine before returning or debuting in WSU, so WSU fans should be thankful.
• Funny Moments: Shanna resurrected her Brazilian football uniform and soccer "goal" routine at WSU United against Hania, but this time, after Hania endured it, Shanna performed her second attempt in the vein of Samoa Joe's "Ole" kick. Hania dodged and the ball nearly hit fan in front row...who then threw it back to Shanna so she could try again. Also, Shanna wore three tops and stripped the first one off after the first kick, causing a fan to throw a two dollar bill at her. As the match concluded she lost her second top and so went around collecting dollar bills from the front row to stuff down the bra she still had on.
• Memetic Mutation: Many revolving around Jessicka Havok, such as spelling her name with another K or four as she left a series of politically incorrect messages while the Midwest Militia was feuding with Mercedes Martinez, Marti Belle and The Soul Sisters (though her anti religious video didn't fit the theme). A later one was questioning about her son.^note If that flies over your head, LU features a wrestler called Son of Havoc.
