OK, that's the dumbest one because no angle will let you run the ropes properly without changing direction.

Also a gross misuse of the term "pentagon ring" :miedo:

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And I'm not afraid to die.

Penta and Fenix are small guys who barely speak any language I'm familiar with, and they're charismatic and compelling as gently caress.

Fenix is pretty fluent in English.

Penta knows very little, but he makes it count: "Joo are Babysaurus!"

I actually like that Penta speaks Spanish and Tay has an accent. Rosa intentionally exaggerates her accent too and it's cool as gently caress.

I know Shida and Emi are working on their English but I love that they have accents. I'm a cishet white guy and I really prefer a diverse and representative cast of wrestlers.

His response to the question about whether FTR can beat the Lucha Bros fairly was a brilliant example of this. He stands there, thinks for a bit, before looking at the camera and saying "No."

It was literally one word but the delivery was so well done that it doesn't matter how much English he knows. Besides, he has Alex to help out who is an amazing hype man so who cares if he can't speak that much.

It got deleted because even the circlejerk subreddit couldn't take it seriously, but I think the guy himself is serious.

This is an opinion of someone who watches everything but doesn´t feel any "forced" love for AEW or hate for WWE. I like wrestling. If it´s good, I´m gonna say it´s good, it can be in WWE, AEW, WWC or NWA.

And AEW wasn´t any good this year, because they have been trying to please a group of online smarks instead of focusing on the growth of the company. If Tony Khan stops being a huge mark for himself and starts to learn about what a promoter should really do, they have a chance. But honestly it has been WCW/TNA on a speedrun so far.

These guys love calling him a terrible failed promoter but he’s consistently outdrawing WWE in their own home territory and there’s not a single time in the past 50 years that that wouldn’t be grounds for automatic Promoter of the Year.

I can only enjoy an entertainment product if they’re doing it in such a way to grow the company in ways I will not specify rather than create content their core fanbase will enjoy and no I will not elaborate on why these are mutually exclusive.

Nobody who's tried to do right wing grievance grifting through a wrestling lens has made any money at it as far as I can tell. (I don't think Cornette really fits into that box even if he has elements of it.) It's honestly pretty encouraging. And Brad used to freely admit that he had never made a dime covering wrestling, so I doubt that's changed for the better for him as he's become even less relevant.
