And, in that time period, they said "Stop streaming" ... the argument they made when I was like "Why can I not do my hobby?" They were like "Technically, we have the rights to your image." And I was like, "Ok, I'll just get a new image."

I don't know how many ECW shows were in Buffalo in 1999, but if there was only one, I was there.quote:256. ECW in 1999, they ran a show in Buffalo, NY. Mikey Whipwreck had invited his brother and some of his brother's friends to the show. Judge Jeff Jones gave GhB to Mikey Whipwreck's brother, who subsequently gave it to one of his friends, who then OD'd and died. Jones was subsequently fired from the company. For all those wondering why Jones disappeared all of a sudden, there's your answer.

Fun thing going on Wednesday at 5pm ET. There's a Twitch/YouTube group newLEGACYinc who do a thing every two years called the Royal Rumblethon. Every day January, they sim a Royal Rumble in a different video game while doing commentary. The jankier and glitchier the better. Now it culminates in the Royaliest Rumble, where all 30 winners face off in the latest WWE 2K game.  Yes, there are three Andre the Giants in there.

TVGM posted:Punk would also bring up the fact that the wrestlers don't have a union in interviews, making it seem like he could spark the fire Jesse Ventura had tried to so long ago. Nothing ever came of it, even with the SAG-AFTRA talk when that one wrestler with a popular Twitch channel complained about having to give WWE a cut. You have to be regularly charismatic and liked by your peers to organize a union. Punk by all accounts is a power tripping psycho in the locker room that would pull a Hogan on any organizing if he was told he got to be officially made "Locker Room Leader" and "Supreme Justice of the Wrestle Court." Half the reason he ended up feuding with the locker room at AEW was that he was insulted that guys with 15-20 years of experience, some of them working for many different promotions and abroad, weren't bending the knee to him as a sort of master wrestler. I imagine the second he even brought up a union, the immediate thought was that it would be CM Punk "cult of personality" group. It's his song for a reason and to paraphrase Taz, he's just like Mussolini. I imagine he didn't try anything in AEW too because he was on Heels and thought it was going to keep going or qualified for SAG membership and didn't care.

Moxley out of WWE and in AEW is still one of the best things to have happened ever, both for himself personally and for wrestling in general. Amazing things happened when you threw the script away and let him loose on the mic.

If so, I was there too, but I don't remember Mikey being on the card. There were some damned good matches though. Awesome v Tanaka was legendary, New Jack did a good dive off a basketball backboard, and I really enjoyed Sabu v Candido. It was also The Sandman's first PPV back from WCW and I dove under a chair to grab one of the beer cans he threw into the crowd. Still have it. It was by far the best wrestling show I've ever been to and it sucks to have found out over the years that almost everyone involved was an insane psychopath behind the scenes. That Danny Doring video about him hating the women he degraded was pretty eye opening.

That Danny Doring video about him hating the women he degraded was pretty eye opening. That is actually a weird quirk of human psychology: we can often do things backwards. You'd THINK most everything would be 'something happens'-'I have a reaction to it and come to a mental assessment about it', but there's plenty of cases where 'I have a mental assessment' - 'something happens' where our brain goes "Well I had this mental assessment, but this thing happened, and it shouldn't have happened if I had this mental assessment, but it did, ergo I must actually have THIS mental assessment'. The story I heard was Ben Franklin knowing some guy who didn't like him, so Ben asked to borrow a rare book from him (he didn't even want it, he just wanted to borrow something that only the guy had that seemed important), he kept it for a week, then returned it, and the guy and him got along better from then because the guy went "Well, I don't like him, but I loaned him a book, which I wouldn't do if I didn't like him, ergo, I must on some level like him.' Problem is, this happens with negatives as well. So if you find yourself in a situation where you're harming, degrading, or worse people, and it's not something you're inclined to do, then your brain will invent justifications for it. A classic example: many Nazi guards did not hate Jewish people, but they still had to shoot, murder, torture, and whatnot them en masse, so their brains warped to hate them to inwardly justify what they were doing, and the more they had to torture them, the more their brains twisted to hate them to keep justifying it. Same with Doring. He needed a reason, so his brain gave him one, and he accepted it, the weak pathetic gently caress. As I've said before, be careful who you pretend to be, because you are who you pretend to be.

Excellent psychology on Franklin's part, establish a positive relationship and association, and even trust, to defuse tension. Sounds like CM Punk is your classic manipulator; he'll say true things if it serves his purpose, and they're still true, just doesn't make him good without consistent actions to back it up.
