The only good way to really apologize for something like that--really, truly apologize--is to essentially enter with no self-defense and focus solely on owning how you hosed up, why you did it, what you did to the person/people involved, what you have done and are doing in response to them--which, in general, is going to be saying you're sorry and then leaving them the gently caress alone and making sure anyone in your following does the same--and what you're doing to make sure you never do it again. The moment any element of "but here's why I thought it was okay" or "but here's why it wasn't so bad" or ANY form of self-defensive ego gets involved, it makes it immediately clear that you're not actually sorry you did the thing, you're sorry you got caught doing the thing and you're sorry it's making YOU feel bad, and what matters to you is how you make yourself feel better.

Despite being a giant rear end in a top hat in virtually every other walk of life, Dan Harmon had one of the better cases of doing this. But it doesn't happen much, because very, very few people are actually sorry or actually care about changing. They just want to feel okay with being the way they are.

I have one fond memory of Disco Inferno's entire WCW tenure, and it's the Konnan music video parodies.

TJP is fascinating to me because he IS a very skilled wrestler, it's just he's such an arrogant rear end in a top hat that it filters into his work and makes your eyes just sort of slide off of him even before you know what an arrogant rear end in a top hat he is

Yeah, Twitch's answer to the "oh no, sexy streamers" problem was to get ridiculously draconian in ridiculously sexist ways and it's the dumbest thing ever.

Yeah, while the WWE is by no means above ripping off anyone, "dingy secret fight club" is a pretty fuckin' well-worn trope.

Roman has always struck me as someone who's a lot more into the WWE than participating in wrestling unto itself, he does not seem in any way like the kind of guy who's secretly itching to go get punched in the face by Tomohiro ishii or something

The real fun Takada MMA moment isn't even the obviously worked fights, it's his retirement fight against Tamura where they had clearly worked it some but not quite enough, so when Takada charges in Tamura reflexively knocks him the gently caress out and immediately realizes he hosed up and thus celebrates like this.

Is he implying that there's a noble way to make money off of diseased marks?

Absolutely: Any of the several dozen Feed Me More-branded nutritional supplements Ryback will sell you from his website, which are seasoned with monkfruit and stevia rather than those icky things with sucralose, up to and including the $419.99 Everything pack which you could otherwise get for about two hundred bucks but it wouldn't have Ryback's catchphrase on it.

Lawler’s commentary was mostly racist jokes until it became mostly boob jokes.

would you like to go into more detail about what exactly she was refusing to apologize for, stephanie

seems maybe kind of relevant to your current climate

It's the same as In-n-Out, they're places that are massively regionally prized when they're basically just slightly nicer fast food

How many of your own coworkers will you humiliate to defend the honor of being the second person to think of hitting someone with your knee from a marginally different angle

We talk about how incredible and rare it is when you lose a Brodie and hear how much everyone universally loved him, but we don't talk nearly enough about how incredible and rare it is that in an industry with as many disparate assholes as wrestling, absolutely every single one of them loathes TJP.

All of them are good because taste is subjective and very few things are bad.

Except FFVIII, which is irredeemable.

Josh Barnett told reporters that Cris Cyborg's punishment for missing weight in Strikeforce should be getting assaulted by an anime tentacle monster. He is one hundred percent that dude.
