won't be long until they take away the Brian, what with the copyrighted name being 'Lexis King'

Why does his hair and beard look sharpie'd on??

Yeah, a frustrated son in the shadow of his father's legacy is a cool angle, especially as a contrast to Cody trying to live up to his father.

The other problem is they already have better implementations of pretty much all of the ways you can go with that.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.

Ah yes, AEW surely is doomed because it got less viewers than NXT on a week when a) it was pre-empted due to the MLB playoffs and b) Shawn Michaels had to drag Cena and the Undertaker to the PC in a ratings grab.

When was the last time NXT beat AEW without pre-emption anyway? Was it the last head-to-head before NXT went to Tuesdays?

NXT lost that one too.

But AEW is doomed because they did the same rating as last year. Or slightly higher, I forget if they did .24 or .26 last year.

I thought they won the final one because a) it was the pre-Mania PPV-lite (was it Stand and Deliver back then?) and b) it was a funny bit of irony that stuck in my memory.

But yeah, if we take the logic to the extreme we better take the book from Triple H because Monday Night Football exists.

Nope, AEW won that one too. NXT only won the week of the Dark Order beatdown at the end of 2019.

I still read WWE recaps when it's slow at work. The fact that WWE, in all these years, just has not learned how to use old stars coming in for a one off besides having them beat up the talent they're actually trying to build up, with no hope of making anything out of it, is hilarious to me.

Something random I remembered about Leslie. He subscribed to twitter blue but was too embarrassed to admit it so he hid the checkmark but would still edit tweets or post higher than normal character count tweets so it was obvious he was a subscriber. Meanwhile he complained how awful Twitter (now X dot com) was and how he was leaving for Threads.

I'm pretty sure it became trendy because much like feet, Rob Liefeld couldn't draw heads.

the head sock became popular before rob liefeld broke out as the biggest comic artist on planet earth, and the feet thing is a stupid meme because nobody draws feet

rob liefelds art was fine for the first few years and then got worse and worse as time went on and he got "better" at drawing and his current art is just horrible to look at

I dunno, New Mutants 98 is pretty ugly. I've been reading most Marvel from Fantastic Four #1, because I have a horrible completionist sickness, and Liefeld, even putting aside the meme complaints about feet and guns, just has such an ugly style. So much worse than his Image compatriots. And even the complaints that seem based on an old Cracked article are based in a fair complaint.

Suppose I could be willing to grant he was less artistically obnoxious when he was merely drawing Louise Simonson's stories, but by the time he was in charge his books were hard going just as far as looking at.

I dunno, it's also hard to separate Liefeld from the legion of people aping his style over the next 6 or 7 years. Which is not fair but man is it exhausting to read

I think Alaois is talking about earlier stuff, like the first miniseries he did for DC, Hawk & Dove. There The Rob had the very talented Karl Kesel inking his pencils and probably cleaning up a lot.
