That was a thing in VGCW early on, some of the characters literally could not win a match and it was discovered that one particular setting had a hidden effect of making them extremely weak in general. Like giving them them the leg brace visual item caused their stamina to drop to near zero. I'm pretty sure they just ran with it as part of the setting.

I think el jefe realized that he got himself into a no-win (for him) scenario by engaging with and endorsing the "free larry and synthy match" IZWF event (If you lose at the videogame, you gotta free them; if you win at the videogame, you look like a weenie because you won't let people post because your AI controlled avatar won in a wrestling game). By even taking part at all (hit cut a promo didn't he?) it really felt like an admission that he went overboard and wanted to walk back the punishments in a fun way that engages with the community he paid for.

Instead he's just ignored the website since except to occasionally post about buying hitler memes to lure people from reddit lol

there are three scenarios you can choose to believe

synthy is trolling
synthy is going stir crazy and believes theres an izwf conspirarcy and hes going to murder tld irl
there is an izwf conspiracy and tld will be made admin

I was watching simpsons at 0.75 without knowing until a scene where homer and bart were getting back massages at a hotel and the noises they were making were super drawn out like a youtube poop
I'm pretty sure TLD hacked the game, like he did this weird thing and went into this dimension where everything was a bunch of floating 1s and 0s and I just know he did something to them

There was a weird moment in Wednesday's stream where the women's battle royale started, the stream froze, and when it came back the women's champion was just... Gone. Not even to be seen walking off.

Like, I guess rigging like that is possible, but when you consider how buggy the game is when it actually works and

Yeah, I doubt it's possible to rig at all.

Really it should be possible to rig, though, because that's wrasslin', baby.
