Oh this is what simping looks like

What is a “simp?” Heh heh. It’s a bit of fandom growing over the... Maki Itoh. I am not one. Nobody else here is one. But you know what? A simping is for a real man. See, of all these posters here I am the best simp of them all. You give me a couple more matches, I’ll be a nice, thick simp. But none of these BOYS! right here... will ever be one.

I guess I don't quite understand this "muh freedums! :qq:" mentality, because it's just so alien to us Kiwis. We just started a week-long lockdown here in Auckland because there was a community outbreak, and when I popped into school to collect some poo poo I'll need, the roads were deserted.

The only way to escape is to climb the cage! Or ask the ref to open the door, I guess.

IIRC someone once posted that Bruno Sammartino would win cage matches via door escape by besting the other guy half to death, and then calmly sauntering through the door. That's the only time a door escape has ever sounded like a satisfying conclusion to a cage match.

I remember a cage match he had with Zbyszko basically ending like that. He eventually overpowers Zbyszko, batters the poo poo out of him, is on his way out, but makes sure to give him one last punch to finish the job, and then he leaves.

How about having a cage, and then putting a Hell in a Cell structure around it, and then having a bunch of dogs running around in between the two cages?

It can't possibly fail!



Seriously though: "escape rules = all bad" is not entirely fair, when it comes down to the manner in which it's applied. The Bruno v. Zbyszko cage match works really well because it's built around the winner battering the other down to the point where they can no longer capable of fighting, and then leaving. What I'm trying to say is, it comes down to how the rules of the match are used in the story that you're trying to tell.

Obviously if they rename him Loser Shortyboner and spend the next couple of months calling him a dick, he's sure to re-sign! He just needs to show that he really, really wants to be in the WWE!

I guess it follows that Daga would be there. He and Tessa Blanchard are married, right?


I wonder what the odds of Blanchard signing with the WWE are at this stage? It's not like they give a toss about problematic people they sign.

Because if it was WWE they would have just pulled him off TV for having the gall to have a family issue then never use him again while he runs his 5 year contract out

There's no need to speculate what the WWE would have done, because we all know what they did - they fired him during a loving pandemic and left him stranded in the USA, loving him over royally.

Every single person in management at the WWE should literally loving die horribly, the callous shits.

Corbin as a guy who was really into grilling and gave out full racks of ribs to the crowd would be a great gimmick. At least better than "dumb bald rear end in a top hat" or whatever his current gimmick is.

Just make him really obnoxious about his superior barbecuing knowledge, but with valid criticisms about the local barbecuing cuisine.

Both want WWE only. Hammerstone was really close to signing but something happened and I don’t recall what it was.

They realised that they'd fulfilled their "generic SNES beat-em-up enemy sprite from something like Streets of Rage or Final Fight" quota when they signed Karrion Kross?
