I think Viking Guy is at fault for stumbling back instead of stepping forward into position, though that doesn't explain why Braun ate poo poo on his way out of the ring

Stuff like this is a wrestling pet peeve of mine

Hot take: Komander's top rope walk is lame as hell because even with massive suspension of disbelief it makes no sense in kayfabe at all; in a fight if your opponent is down why would you waste time/energy walking a tightrope for no reason then attacking someone

See also: Undertaker's rope walk, any rope walk

I'm all for flashy moves and high flying stuff, it's what makes wrestling fun, but stuff like that is so obviously just adding a gymnastics move for no reason it just takes me out of the match mentally

I mean, think of it this way: why did Michael Jordan take free throws with his eyes closed? showing off in unnecessary ways is a part of real sports too. I just never assume they're trying to imply it makes it more powerful, just an athlete being a showoff

zombie undertaker doing a ropewalk is goofy tho, undertaker is the most overrated Legend by a mile

Cody busted Brock open and pinned him like two other guys can say that in WWE.

Some of the Cody hate is getting unhinged again, post Wrestlemania for weeks it was jolly, starting to see some caremad stuff though that’s less entertaining.

Specifically calling Cody a cuck when Buddy Matthews exists…

Yeah he just won’t do sex scenes because he’s married otherwise he doesn’t give a poo poo

He was in the Netflix movie the 4 guys from workaholics made and one of them went full cock and balls out on screen for like 10 minutes

yknow theres more actors coming out and saying they won't do sex scenes bc they're just too faithful than ive seen explicit sex scenes in movies in like the past 10 years

just something I've been thinking about, its a real cheap heat move to say you definitely won't do something that's *not* in like, 95+% of movies, and furthermore a sex scene in a movie is soooo far away from anything really sexual its just kind of silly. its not porn, its smoke and mirrors like everything else in a movie

e im just saying if your character is scripted to have sex w someone else in a movie or show you're not actually having sex w that person anymore than if you're scripted to shoot a guy in the head you're not actually murdering a guy

I swear Cody admitted that the tattoo ended up being way bigger than he thought it would be. LMAO... how is that possible? Now I've never gotten a tattoo, but do you generally treat it like you're getting a haircut? "Oh put it on my neck right about here, not too big!"

I mean keep in mind if someone is tattooing yr neck its not like yr arm or leg, theres no way to actually see what the tattoo artist is doing and like, idk it just generally hurts I couldn't really geometry out the size based on what it felt like

To give Dave credit, he put in the work to become a pretty good actor. Like Cena probably has more natural talent for it, but it took him a while to put in the work to improve but Dave started to take it seriously right away.

yeah in interviews w Dave it really shows he's just a different kinda guy from rock or Cena, like once he broke into Hollywood stuff he like, kinda fell in love with the craft and really dedicated himself, and like he just really genuinely wants to be the best actor he can be. it's cool, idk batista is a cool example of a person who never stopped wanting to learn or grow and like, he was already kind of a late bloomer in wrestling to begin with before acting was even a thing for him.
