quit asking about what threads you can have on here. I'm loving sick of people being afraid of posting a thread but whining about needing one. can we please have a containment thread for people to whine about wanting someone else to make a new thread?

as i reflect on my "kidding around" post above, i feel that it comes across too harshly with only a minor hint of silliness. That's not who i am. I think it's from the cussing

On that ACH shirt, I totally believe they had some designer whip out these 50 NXT shirts over three days or something, needing to be signed off like four times, so as he grumbled the impossible task, he thought it'd be "funny" to try that poo poo for ACH since it wouldn't pass anyway. Then it did either because nobody above him cared enough, or Vince say it and thought it was Good poo poo.

Lemmy was one of those nazi memorabilia collectors who would go out of his way to condemn nazis. So probably pretty bad

Does the merch people interact with the talent in terms of asking what designs they might want on their merch? It can seem like a lot to ask for that type of interaction but it would go a long way to making the merch personal.

The "merch people" are probably a sweatshop in southeast Asia that Vince sends a couple dollars to each month.

Pinche Rudo posted:I was thinking about posting this same thing. J-Ru can we get a Cornette Quarantine thread? If people want to still give him clicks and attention despite the racism/homophobia/transphobia/misogyny that's their choice just keep it confined there. If you or anybody else want to make a thread specifically about Cornette  it, but there's no reason not to be able to bring up Cornette in any other thread where it is relevant either.

I remember when Hero/Ohno would go to Japan and constantly posed with nazi and swastika merch in their stores with a shocked face and people thought he was a nazi

I'm always reminded of the Father Ted episode (please don't look up what Graham Linehan is famous for now  ) where Ted meets another priest who is fascinated by World War 2 memorabilia... except ALL of the memorabilia is Nazi poo poo and it's basically just a shrine to Hitler, and when Ted asks where all the Allies stuff is the priest goes,"Oh I have no interest in any of that rubbish..."For as lovely as Linehan is now, that episode (Father Ted tries to prove he isn't racist) is still loving hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkL91LzCMc

Yeah I don't see any malicious intent on his part, part of his gimmick is playing up to the silly notion that he's a legitimate actual dinosaur, but it's a joke that is gonna fall flat with a hell of a lot of people for perfectly understandable reasons.
