It's Randy's initials. It also sounds like TKO but personalised for Randy. It's also the name of the film company from the 40s.

What are some facts about wrestling in 2022 that would have shocked you if you were to have heard them in 2003/2004/2005? AJ Styles will sign with WWE and not only will he not be regimmicked as a total loser and jobbed out as "punishment" for being a TNA guy, he will go on to have a decent WWE title reign and be Undertaker's final WrestleMania match.

It is odd to me how I've seen people talk about "predicting" AEW. Like, I think it was the consensus around here for years that the only thing that could compete with WWE would be a billionaire money mark (who could actually run a live entertainment company). It's just that no one thought it would happen.

He's a super rich guy, who probably played a bunch of TEW, who as of yet only vices appear to be cocaine and posting online, with what appears to be some experience in management outside of carny business. Unless there's a bunch of rich dudes like TK around something like AEW appearing was never gonna be a certainty.

Rich Guy chat, did Ted Turner's wealth really never recover enough after the AOL merger to take another whack at it? I know logically he could have soured on the whole thing by that point, but everyone knows people who want to throw money at wrestling are always at least a little insane

there's a rumor going around that turner is responsible for getting tony in the door to negotiate for "Jane" when they wouldn't even talk to him previously, so potentially thank/blame him for OC's switch over

I was just doing a bit of tech support with a dad and his kid trying to log onto our learning platform using AOL Explorer. I'm still reeling about it and now this comes up. This is the most I've thought about AOL in 20+ years.

He is just a rich guy who has constant overtired toddler energy who apparently doesn’t sleep because he’s up all night booking angles and tweeting. This is very cocainey behaviour.

Energy = Cocaine. simple as that. If you stay up late? That's cocaine. IF your rich...better believe you're doing Cocaine (this part is actually true). When Tony agents a match, he makes sure to tell everyone their Key Bumps. lol. They won't sniff the top of the card, or Blow up big, unless they're partaking with the man himself. Just rumors.

It's probably some combo of study drugs. He's got billionaire level pharmacist access. Why risk coke? But people's shorthand for this guy seems to be unnaturally excitable and energetic is cocaine. (Although he's on record as saying his days partying in L.A. with entertainment types were crucial to the later tv deal)

What is the longest name for a wrestling maneuver? What is the wrestling maneuver with the most amount of modifiers? For example, avalanche, exploding, reverse, inverted, gutwrench etc etc etc. Also, what are the mechanics behind these suffixes/prefixes? What is the damage modifier or save penalty for each?
