If you light a bunch of candles in a circle, it's what causes all the flames to flare up and lean toward the center.

Gei posted:I was gonna say, wrestling in a ring of fire is about the same level of safety (or lack thereof) that you see in a lot of circus acts. wrestlers have literally set themselves or others on fire besides cutting their foreheads or some the rest with deathmatch wrestling with knives and broken glass slicing their bodies up. like this picture is cool because Onita is blocking Mr Pogo's fire ball with a broken table or something but other times he's literally lit a flame  edit: if you want to see a NMS picture of how insane Japanese deathmatch wrestling tolls take on a body, look up Jun Kasai's back and be disgusted.

Speaking of ghastly wrestling spots, is Hangman the first to do the blood drinking thing? I don't mean licking blood I mean squeezing a man's blood right into his mouth.

Gavok posted:Now it culminates in the Royaliest Rumble, where all 30 winners face off in the latest WWE 2K game. Life has some truly strange ironies. The winner of the Royaliest Rumble? Not Andre, who had three chances. Not Undertaker, or Hulk Hogan, or Edge, who won Royal Rumbles in real life. Not Kenny Omega, who has never been in a Royal Rumble, or Shane McMahon, who wanted to make the 2023 Rumble all about him. And not would never ever win a Rumble under any circumstances in real life entrants like Eugene, Tajiri, or Goldust. It was, in the end...CM Punk. The ironing is delicious.

Imagine a child really being into superheroes and dreaming about becoming one when they grow up. Then they learn that all superheroics are fake, not just fictional but diegetically pretend-fighting and so on. They still want to be a superhero. They then learn that being a superhero often involves being in tremendous pain, having a lovely private life, suffering from drug addiction etc. and they still train all day to become one.

Foxfire_ posted:Mick Foley seems like a fine human being, but he still absolutely belongs in the crazy person column for being willing to do all the stuff he did. The question with any wrestler is, how big a mark are they for themself? If it's a whole lot, chances are they're an egomaniac. Punk is the biggest CM Punk mark on the planet.

Mick Foley is the most goon like of wrestlers. Used to shower, dry himself off with his ring gear, put it back on, and drive 600 miles to the next show with a giant bag of popcorn from concessions for his dinner.

I saw Hefty Leftist did update the front page. I don't have PM's, so if someone who does could ask him, if it's possible, to update the selection of effortposts in the same post, I'd appreciate it. And a lot of wrestling and those who stuck it out makes a lot more sense when you remember that half of wrestling's innate nature grew out of a deliberate effort to con people out of money by offering something they could not actually provide, and perhaps also the mindset that these people 'deserved' to be conned because they were 'normal' and that fact was a form of aggravation to the ones doing the con. A world of people who are still doing that to some degree, and what it does to the mind, and what people might do to relieve the pressure, well...speaks for itself.

So Laurinaitis' lawyer has finally spoken to the media, and he's pitching Laurinaitis as another victim of Vince who was coerced into it all the same way Grant was. "Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial sexual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them.”  https://www.vice.com/en/article/epv757/co-defendant-in-vince-mcmahon-sex-trafficking-lawsuit-says-he-was-a-victim-too

That reminds me of the theory that even if a politician or businessman isn't a pedophile or has some extreme deviance or crime, that 'the ones who generally run the world' will take them to Orange Grove and have them 'stumble' onto something horrible, like, children being abused, and basically go "You tell, we'll say you were one of us and your career and life will be ruined and you will never have power." It wouldn't surprise me if there's a tiny sliver of truth in Laurinaitis' claims. As said, one of the secondary goals of any cult leader is to turn everyone close to them into clones of themselves. Maybe Johnny was a sex pest bastard, but McMahon helped push him along to being an UTTER ABSOLUTE bastard. Which...does him absolutely no favors, because it takes two to tango.

You are giving him too much credit, hes a horrible fucker and would never have managed to stay working in another company even before these allegations.
