If people jump in to break a pin they essentially just keep the pin down for at least one seccond. And they usually jump in on the two making their contact the 3.

Also the person pinned still has both shoulders on the mat at 3, and usually 4, regardless.

Due to the new weekly show and the Fight Forever video game, I did a big-rear end AEW primer thread.

Just a bunch of effortpost stuff on different wrestlers and storylines.

Eventually his reasons for growing that mustache is going to come out, and it's going to be just as insane as everything else about him.

he always wanted a mustache but couldn't stand the idea of anyone seeing him in the process of growing it out, so he never had the opportunity until he was fired because he hasn't taken a day off for ~45 years

In all honesty I could see this being the actual reason.

reviews are mixed, but seem to generally agree the actual gameplay is good. it's supposed to be less cumbersome than the 2k games, and more like the intuitive pick-up-and-play style of the aki engine games, but snappier and obviously with some quality of life improvements

the osw boys+matt mcmuscles put it over hard enough (with some caveats, kinda to be expected for a pretty young company's first video game) that I'm actually considering buying it at launch price, which is something I almost never do, but man it got me hankering

Droz died. :(

It's funny how I, and probably many others, know him best as NOT a wrestler, but a guy whose wrestling career was cut short due to an in-ring injury that left him paralyzed. Also as a guy who was temporarily saddled with a gimmick of puking on demand.

I literally just found out this morning that there is apparently a theory floating around that Kevin Sullivan killed Chris Benoit & his family and that it wasn't actually a murder-suicide. I get where it comes from, but it seems like (putting it lightly) a bit of a stretch.

Some of the ultrahardcore Scott Keith types REALLY didn't want their workrate hero to 1) Be a family annihilator, and 2) Have the main reason that happened arguably being what they praised and worshipped him for.

There's also a theory floating around that not only did Chris Benoit actually kill his family, he did it with the Crippler Crossface

Holy Moly! DARKSEID IS!

I stumbled across the recent video where Mark Callaway and Mick Foley watch their Hell in a Cell match for its 30th :corsair: anniversary and it was weirdly wholesome. During entrances Mick recalls how terrified he was because he lied to everyone about his fear of heights and Taker jokes “the one time someone wished I walked to the ring slower.”

For a long time the Plane Ride from Hell was regarded as a wild time where fun was had by all and a lot of the uglier poo poo hadn’t come out yet. Then some of the details were revealed and WWE decided to do an episode of their short-lived cartoon about it that portrayed Flair as this delightful rascal that was just playing a few pranks. It wasn’t really until the Dark Side of the Ring episode that they started treating it as a bad thing and that was only after the backlash. Flair was still sexually assaulting women on live television until just a few years ago.

I don't think I'd even heard about the Ric Flair stuff until Dark Side of the Ring.
