Roëmænce is ælive!
Breeze has been great as the top heel of UUDD. And he gets the best burns (seenotalent.mp4)

I 100% watched that entirely to see how mad AJ got, because he is very bad at video games.

AJ Styles is such a sooky baby when it comes to video games. I mean the whole point of UpUpDownDown is to have silly childish fun. But he always takes it so seriously and gets so tantrummy angry when he loses.

I mean, seriously mate, you are playing old video games with your friends who are hooping and hollering and laughing. Why do you care so much when you lose, why do you make schoolyard blaming the tools excuses for your loss, and where the gently caress is your sense of humour?

I suppose it's good he gave up his twitch for the good of the corporate overlords. Because I can't imagine watching him play would have been at all fun or entertaining.

On the other hand, Tyler Breeze is so charismatic. I love the others pantomime booing him. It is a true mystery why WWE couldn't do more with him.

I haven't watched AJ play but I have to assume (hope) that while he probably gets upset at losing at games, he probably turns it up to a higher degree to be that character on UUDD. Kind of like how Dan Ryckert can't possibly be THAT dumb, but he plays it up for the cameras/internet.

I hope. I'm probably wrong.

What’s an example of Dan’s dumbness since he seems okay in his appearances on the new day podcast? AJ, I think, legit gets mad since he’s broken a couple of controllers when he’s lost.

He recently claimed he had never made a grilled cheese before, then had his wife write instructions on how to make one, then streamed himself making one on twitch.

Even if you somehow live 35 years or whatever and never make a grilled cheese, there's no way you don't know the basic premise of a grilled cheese sandwich.

Things Dan Ryckert has done:

Has multiple Guinness world records
Had the first wedding at the Taco Bell chapel
Is a multiple time published author
Is a former wrestling manager
Defeated his nemesis Jose Canseco in a Kickstarter competition, forcing him to write the foreword for one of Dan's books
Went to a strip club with Mark Henry
Forced Peter Molyneux to review app store fart apps
Worked for years playing and writing about video games, a dream job for many people
Kicked Xavier Woods' rear end in Soul Calibur, winning ten out of ten games, forcing Xavier to eat mayonnaise as a punishment
Somehow ended up in charge of The New Day's podcast

I'm sure I'm forgetting some things, but we should all wish our lives were even half as exciting and fulfilling as that of Dan Ryckert.

The counterpoint is that he's just there working on podcasts, so I doubt Vince even knows he exists. He gets to avoid most of the bullshit.

Besides, if Vince ever did somehow meet Dan, that ol' Ryckert luck would kick in and he'd be running the entire company within a month.

When he was in grade school he purposely bombed a vision test because he thought glasses were cool, wore the glasses for years and permanently destroyed his eyesight.

the things we see as "lucky" are just the natural endpoints for dan's ambition and drive and all around charisma that opens doors for him

I do not think he is super smart or anything but he is super dedicated to whatever he puts his mind to. His story of defeating an elementary school bully by digging a pit trap in the playground is some extraordinary galaxy brain poo poo and required a lot of labor for a child.

On a Straight Shootin with Punk and Samoa Joe, Joe talks about beating the dogshit out of AJ at video games, to the point where AJ is blowing off stuff and forcing Joe to stay online and play against him so he can try and get his wins back

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Dan puts 100% into everything he does. The best Giant Bomb content after Ryan Davis passed was Dan just dragging Jeff and Drew into playing the things he wanted to do (Metal Gear Solid and Mario Party) and I know he's playing up his character to some degree but he works hard to make content.

I buy into his stories of never trying mayonnaise, Taco Bell being his favorite food, thinking glasses were cool when he was a kid and faking an eye test then ruining his sight and the Tornado story where he walked out of his dorm and just said "Nope, not dealing with this" and fell asleep in a closet.

He's was a sheltered manchild but he's a great producer and content creator, eventually he's going to end up being the main writer in WWE because that's just the story of Dan Rykert. He's an idiot savant
