Can somebody explain in detail the difference between a freelancer and a full time wrestler for a promotion in Japan? Is it as simple as it sounds and I'm assuming there's more to it?

Me reading your posts

It's just adult nerds with tons of disposable income. You should see some of the WWE Youtube shows where these people blow money. Wait until Gronk gets signed and starts going to video game stores with Xavier and dropping $7000 on Zelda swords

Hilariously enough, Gronk is actually pretty frugal with his money and lives entirely off his marketing deals; he has never touched his NFL contract money.

i'm here to say gronkowski spent hundreds of thousands of nfl contract money from 2010 to 2012 and that he never spent his "contract money" because he got a new contract after that time, and was able to get endorsements whenever he wanted by that point. Thank you

Yeah, Asuka is a giant nerd. Probably the biggest one on the roster when it comes to gaming. I'll see if I can dig it up later, but she did an interview with Eurogamer awhile back where she mentioned that she had like 5000+ games, and had to rent a climate controlled facility in Osaka just to hold them all. And she has the games she wants to play sent over from there, and sends the ones she doesn't want to play back over.

She also bragged on social media one time about owning every Virtual Boy game ever made. Which...I dunno why you would want to brag about that but whatever.

You know they say that all demons are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Pyro Jack and you can see that statement is not true, hee-ho!
Virtual Boy had some decent to good games (and also Waterworld) that have the unfortunate fate of being stuck on the Virtual Boy (except Panic Bomber, the Bomberman-themed falling block puzzle game, which had several ports)
