A split screen would be a literal split in the middle. Half on the top and half on the bottom, or half on the right and half on the left. What AEW uses is called a shared screen experience w/ background, or SCEB as we call it in the biz.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

He’s talked about it many times. It’s no more a ‘trick’ than learning that if you use correct form, you can get better at lifting weights. It’s just explaining how best to leverage your elbow so that it’s a shoulder and back movement as opposed to a bicep one.

I wonder if there's video of this. I want to be like Ryu, winning arm wrestling tournaments for my means of survival.

Lance owns. Being an absolute crank about minutiae like this is what makes life worth living. I implore all of you to find some dipshit little grievance that nobody else cares about and make it a significant part of your personality.

Yes, this is already what fuels a great number of podcasts and people posting about wrestling. You don't need to encourage it, you just need to swim through the near endless ocean of boring takes for people like Lance.

They helpfully explained the former in two promo segments and THATB happened on "show."

Looking at the Show Rundown I think we can safely say we have a classic Meltzer Tangent on our hands:

30:15: Best of the Super Junior lineups
33:43: The 10-9 scoring system
48:37: World Tag League participants

Kind of - WTL participants were announced while they were recording, but the scoring thing still morphed into a tangent where Meltzer couldn’t remember the word dominance.

I know it's because he went and looked it up himself but I loved that after all Dave's rustling and shifting and muttering Bryan finally just screams,"DOMINANCE!" and Dave, like a record that had skipped, just settles back into the groove immediately and goes back to talking.

liked how the whole spiel on the 10-8 system did not include an explanation of how scoring in UFC works. i figure the winner always gets 10 and if the other guy does well he gets 9, okay he gets an 8 and if he doesn't do well he gets a 7, kinda like a videogame

"And I did it, because I was a man who had exhausted reason and thus turned to magicks"
From context clues it seems that even being vaguely in the match gets you a 9, not being knocked out gets you an 8 and a 7 is reserved for when your opponent removes your skull and vertebral column from your torso.

Yeah that's about it,

It then settled to roughly 8 was near death / flogging and 9 was everything else.

But of course now lol it's back to just 10 9s

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
Basically, "10 point must" means that the round winner always gets 10 points unless there's a point deduction. Under the current rules, the scoring is *supposed* to work like this:

* 10-9 for most rounds.
* 10-8 for a round where the winner racks up at least two of what John McCarthy calls "the three Ds" of dominance, damage, and duration. So a total shutout should be a 10-8, as should a near finish, etc. But a knockdown is not an inherent 10-8 like in boxing. You can get knocked down and win the round 10-9 because it wasn't ostensibly a concussive knockdown. (Like if the fighter is clearly catching themselves the whole way down.)
* 10-7 is if the referee failed to do his job and the fight should have been stopped. Round 2 of Neil Magny vs. Hector Lombard is one of the fights McCarthy uses as an example of a 10-7 in his judging course.

(A 10-10 is theoretically possible, but can almost never happen in practice because of the tiered criteria breaking ties in the more important criteria. A legitimate 10-10 can pretty much only ever happen if fighters did absolutely nothing or a technical decision was called due to an accidental foul before either fighter could do anything in that round. Because the incomplete round is still scored.)

Also, I forgot to post this here:

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Could NXT dark horse win worst weekly show?
