Tampa Bae posted:The bar was really low in the 80s and 90s when the best advice Kevin Nash ever got was "buy a house where you grew up and the fed will never own you again" To be fair, that was really good at advice. JJ Dillon in his book talks about how Vince really wanted to leash you to the company by peer pressuring you into buying a house well beyond your means in his part of upscale Connecticut but WWE would oh so helpfully offer you a loan.

They still do this today with NXT signees, using shady realtor connections to push them into expensive Florida homes

The best part is how that dude's logic accidentally loops back around to the "minorities are more violent" stereotype.

quote:I know nobody will agree, but (the worst Full Gear match) was MJF vs Darby, which was laid out like a Danny Garcia vs Dante Martin match. Every spot was constantly signposting just how of the future they are, aren’t they so evenly matched, aren’t they so athletic, isn’t this just like seeing a rookie RVD wrestle a rookie Jerry Lynn, especially when they both Kip up at the same time. These guys were so presented as the stars of the future that they no longer felt like stars of the present to me. It just sort of established a theme of overindulgence that ran through most of the card. Could have just said "it insists upon itself" and saved a lot of typing.

MassRafTer posted:It's better than the usual AEW criticism of "too many notes." yeah tbh, I think that's a fair criticism worthy of the discourse. I'd much rather talk about the merits and inherent dangers of blatantly performative physical altercations than say the sate of AEW's women's division.

reddit having a normal onequote:Just find it kind of strange myself that people had no issues with Jay Lethal and weren't bringing up his alleged past in every ROH thread/ PPV thread, or out of the blue as a discussion point, but now that he's signing with AEW he's in the same tier as guys like Marty Scurll and Joey Ryan and should be blacklisted from the business? Where was this talk whilst he was working with ROH? Why is it a talking point now, and not the past few years that these alleged stories have been out on him?

Scurll was also like the highest paid guy in the company and had just been made the booker so it was a lot harder for them to simply ignore his allegations

Scurll also admitted to what he did but tried to get away with it using the age of consent argument (leaving out the part where she was not only a 16-year-old schoolgirl but also drunk at the time)

The only thing worse than yikesposting with no explanations is going "Actually all your yikeses are wrong" and then following up with an explanation that doesn't actually explain anything.

Working with Jim Russo should get you frozen cryogenically like Wesley Snipes in demolition man. But Jay Lethal probably was still a scummy creep.
