Lots of libertarians have weird pet causes they break their ethos for. Gary Johnson loving loved roads when he was governor of New Mexico. Perhaps Kane's is libraries.

wyoak posted:Alot of you (me) probably came up in the Hogan squash everyone era, which was pretty poo poo unless you were a kid. Or that awkward era between Hogan and Attitude that was poo poo unless you were a kid. If you were lucky you came up in the Attitude era, and you don't remember anything that didn't involve Stone Cold or the Rock, because that was also pretty poo poo unless you were a kid.

Minidust posted:Yeah, I mean an unsettling amount kids' entertainment in 2018 is literally videos of Other Kids Opening Boxes Of Things. I mean without even debating the merits of insipid Disney Channel sitcoms, that's a pretty low bar to clear. WWE will be fine at getting new young fans, for better or for worse. And the kids’ entertainment that is on a somewhat higher level (Steven Universe, Gravity Falls) tends to get loudly coopted by a vocal and somewhat creepy adult fan base. I mentioned to someone that the kiddo was a fan of Liv and Maddie and the guy started going on about how hot Dove Cameron would be when she turned 18.

boar guy posted:sorry to keep making these glum-rear end posts but i been watching this poo poo since 1982 and making a conscious effort to do something else during Raw and Smackdown feels weird Keep with it, man. I quit watching Raw after WM32 or thereabouts and Smackdown after it got lovely shortly after the brand split, and I have so much more time for good TV, reading, video games, cooking, and so on. Not that I wasn't playing games and reading while "watching" the shows towards the end, but this way the TV screen is free at least. I unsubbed from the Network a couple weeks ago too and it feels good to no longer be supporting this garbage company. Not like they need my money anyhow.

jesus WEP posted:I loved AV a whole lot but I kinda fear the second season being super derivative of the first The early reviews have been pretty positive so I assume they got past that hurdle. Definitely doesn't feel like a concept you couldn't milk for more than three seasons and even that might be pushing it.

wyoak posted:Attitude was admittedly less poo poo than most eras but there was still alot of poo poo Imagine WWE having a whole roster smaller than the Raw roster now, but you actually gave a poo poo about the majority of the people on the show. That's what they really had going for them in the 2000 Attitude Era. I am a big proponent that the roster size these days is killing interest in the product. I just cannot give a poo poo about all 200+ people, or however many people they have, with halfhearted pushes of the vast majority of them because there are too many people to write compelling storylines for.

Including free agents, NXT and a few UK folks, there are 160+ active superstars on Raw, Smackdown, NXT and 205. There's no room for all of them, and especially when there are so few featured wrestlers with stories or matches at any given time. Ugh. Ugh!

Part of me really wants to quit WWE and spend my time watching New Japan or indies and what have you, but I've reached a point where writing about it online is easy and regular money and I have a wedding to save up for and... Anyway, here's all 38 Hell in a Cell matches ranked from worst to best!

rovert posted:This wasn't offensive offensive but I still can't believe this made air: Vince very likely found that goddamn hilarious, and that's all that matters to him. You have some people trying to justify it as "oh well they are just showing the goofy side of Asuka!!!" When you could clearly see that neither Naomi or Asuka wanted anything to do with that awful segment. Apparently the audience didn't react to the segment at all either. I think they are intentionally trying to sabotage Asuka at this point, simply because she's more over/popular than Charlotte. Becky was turned heel (and it seems like WWE is trying to double down on it this week), Naomi is already pretty non-existent, and they are kneecapping Asuka. They are going to turn Charlotte into the female version of Roman Reigns at this rate. Because they are doing/did the same thing with Roman as they are doing with Charlotte. Kneecap anyone else who is even remotely more over than Charlotte because she's the face of the women's division apparently. If they don't do a double turn at Hell in a Cell, I don't think Charlotte is ever going to turn heel. And the crowd will hijack the Ronda/Charlotte match at Wrestlemania if they keep kneecapping talent that the crowd likes more. DarkstarIV fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 13, 2018 |

i don't want to ruffle anyone's feathers, but why do you guys still talk about people being pushed or getting buried or hoping they will have plans for a particular wrestler? like, do you guys not realize that nobody is important now? i see guys talking about Finn Balor and Asuka or whoever and they're like "man i hope they push this guy" and i have to wonder if you people are new to watching the WWE, or delusional, or what. Daniel Bryan came back after not wrestling for like 2 loving years and they put him in a garbage nothing program with his lovely wife and the the worst wrestler on Earth, The Miz, and The Miz's lovely wife. why do you think Becky Lynch is going to be the new Stone Cold. did you guys see what just happened to Kevin Owens? that's the whole roster. everyone on the roster is Kevin Owens and is a moron retard who never wins and is also a loving idiot with no long-term memory. how can you still have the capacity to analyze this in any meaningful way.
