Going to repeat my fantasy booking idea for a racist referee who can't tell black people apart so he's constantly letting like the New Day do twin magic and eventually like Mark Henry and Rich Swann win the tag belts when they realize what's going on.

I'm like 99% sure Kofi and Xavier did twin magic once

I feel like I'm in crazy insane opposite world when people start talking about how good charlottes promos are. They're always so hammy that I just kind of grimace and change the channel until it's over. I guess maybe the idea is that reaction means it's effective heel work? but I don't really care about her losing or getting hers or whatever. I just wanna change the channel.

I loving wish Charlotte would cut promos about how nightmares are the best part of her day and how Bayley should take a plane into a nosedive. We need someone in the women's division like that but all the good wrestlers either have an accent that wouldn't work with that (Asuka, Becky, the Aussies) or already have perfect gimmicks (Alexa).

If Rosemary ever leaves TNA they could pick her up or something.

I think Nikki Cross is doing a Jim Hellwig gimmick on the NXT house shows

Yeah, they were wearing the exact same outfit and had the exact same hair, and Xavier had his face covered by the rollup.

I never really noticed how bad they were until I had Raw on in the background this week. Her inflection is all over the place and she puts emphasis on the wrong words in every single sentence.

Her promos are bad. I didn't realize people were saying otherwise, but those people are wrong because she is bad.

my 2 cents: KO does that look because he knows it's unsettling and Landis and Reddit are reading too much into it, but I wanted to make a We Need to Talk About Kevin joke

I'm glad someone else has made this observation. One of the things that always has appealed to me for Kevin is that it seems like he is dead inside. Along with the fact that he is IRL witty and funny and a good wrestler. But then there are those moments where he comes off like a complete psycho.

Hahahah I didn't know that

I forget who it was against, bit there was a match with Nikki as champion where they pulled twin magic, Brie got pinned, and then she spent the post match pulling the tissue paper padding from under her shirt trying to get Nikki DQ'D to save the title.

I find it amusing that the (very bad) film director/writer can't tell the difference between someone playing a character and someone's actual personality.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
tbh I don't really know why people don't like Max Landis. I'm not gonna go to bat for the guy, but he mostly just reminds me of people I know who're cool to hang out with, like, sometimes. He definitely comes off pretty wired and maybe too intuitive? Like he seems like a dude who's never replied to anything by just being like "yeah..." in his entire life. But somebody said John Landis could have killed Vic Morrow and those two Vietnamese kids on purpose, and it would still be the second worst thing he's done after siring Max Landis, and, I mean, lol, but wow

e: Sorry for posting about Max Landis. I feel like he and Dan Harmon and Lena Dunham just pop up in unrelated topics all the time and the conversation just becomes about them for half a page, and it's probably really annoying to people who don't give a poo poo.

Landis is kind of a weirdo, but I generally like his work and he doesn't outright grate on me. By all accounts I've heard he's a super nice dude in person. It's just weird that people have this really specific grudge or hatred of him, because he's really no more offensive than others who do the stuff he does. Like, it's not as though he's everywhere or a really prominent star. He's super easy to ignore if you don't care about him.

My brother met Max Landis at a goth club once when they were both high schoolers and he says he was a cool guy.

I think people don't like him because he's said some myssogynistic things but I have no evidence of that nor do I care to dig it up.

Anyway, yeah, listening to people talk about wrestling is cool, especially when they actually like it.
