While I'm here you should check out SAW, it's dumb idiot fun and nobody takes it too seriously, we cut promos and make stupid little videos for the stream, hang out, sometimes watch old Canadian TV, drop sick burns on each other but we're all friends, plus TKO has a pretty strong presence with the Wrestlehut 2000 stable

The Enclosed Pool zone is also a great example because it's proof you can just post and set what you want the tone to be and people stick with it. It has its own vibes. Also a couple of posters hate it with red hot rage because they've made up their own impression of it in their head and think it's where you go to earnestly talk about which wrestler you jack off to and how cool it is Benoit killed people lol

It should be illegal to post in the WWE thread without watching the show. Even if it meant it was me and two other people posting. There should be a thread for talking about shows you don’t watch and people can be angry as hell in there.

Honestly, the WWE thread is just in that awkward point in a mock thread's life cycle where no one really cares in the first place, so all anyone does is throw out barbs from when they were still invested between brief spikes in interest. There's a reason NXT is what gets talked about the most these days. It's because NXT is where goofy bullshit happens. Otherwise you just have "Jade Cargill is still getting the Veer treatment" and "Cody/Sami/etc had a segment that was good enough to watch, but not good enough to show to your friends because WWE's house style is still annoying".

I'm not going to say the WWE thread needs to become a purely positive space or anything like that. But as a community we should probably take a week off from looking at it and seriously think about if we care enough to keep paying attention. Because we've all seen where mock threads go from here, and it's never good.

I hate his directing on its own merits, nothing to do with his stint as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Good actor, vapid director, zero opinions on his political offices.

Clint should have become a wrestler after the boxing monkey films, followed his true calling. Finisher would be a cutter, but he would deliver it on a stool when he was a heel.

Lemme give an outsider's perspective on why I don't post or read much in TKO in spite of being a huge wrestling fan and former Wrestlehut/PSP poster way back in the day, you might see that as someone criticizing without the right to do it because I don't participate, or you might think it's valuable to see why someone who's into the subject matter and would be a prospective poster takes a look around and says "not for me"

The vibe is too aggro, too serious, and too wound up about nonsense. The horny poo poo didn't help but if it's fallen off, good. It's wrestling. It's inherently stupid. It's stupid in the best possible way, but at its core, it's about the most unserious thing on the planet. Serious things happen with it, no doubt, but as a topic, it's supposed to be a fun one, and the vibe every time I've come in to lurk isn't fun, so I go post elsewhere and spend more time talking to people who aren't hardcore long-time fans because they look at it with the eyes of someone who's enjoying it for what it is

this is why we're promoting the Enclosed Pool Area as an alternative

I dunno, the threads have gotten so much better without MJeff. Anyone that posts double the next poster in every thread and is all just complaints while being a huge dick is a real downer.
