some times people go into a thread and say mad words toward others who are engaging in conversation about a product, hobby, Or other. they say to stop it, stop being engaged outwardly, and to just enjoy the thing the way this person wants them to, instead of what they want to do. And someone is probably going to kill the people who do that, one day. Not me

He was just in a triple threat at Takeover.

I agree with that tweet, I don't see the problem. I like star ratings but it's all silly fun in the end, do what you like.

the irony of pete dunne playing cop for HHH while also being bitter he isn't higher on the kayfabe victory list is funny. idk how good he's really being used nowadays (he seems to jettisson all over the main roster, NXT, NXTUK so idk what the plan is for him) but if he ever left he'd immediately be huge for anywhere else. He probably isn't being used enough imo.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Where was dunne on the list? Is he pissy that he’s 60th instead of 40th?

Yeah, promoting that you are number one on a loving kayfabe list is pretty sad.

Kenny and New Japan barely acknowledged it last year. I got the issue in my Pro Wrestling Crate that month and reading it was the corny as hell. I can’t believe once upon a time I had ever cared about it.

I was going to make a gag about "what sort of nerd watches developmental?" but I'm also regularly begging for the return of the New Japan Lion's Gate shows which were exactly that and I'm looking longingly at the last one which was headlined by Shota Umino vs Ayato Yoshida.

Well the difference is, one is a system that produces wrestlers that take 0 poo poo from anyone. And the other produces cubicle nerds with pecs and delts.

Kenny Omega never needs to read these because everyone and his mom knows he's always going to be in the top 10 wrestlers in the world

If we ranked workers by kayfabe wins then we'd have people like "HHH, Jinder Mahal, Baron Corbin" at the top

Even by kayfabe wins WWE is so 50/50 these days nobody would come close to touching Okada given he rarely drops pins even in multiman tags

I enjoyed JR basically outing on that Conrad podcast that WWE developmental isn't to even train anyone in the "house style", it's to break them down so they do what the WWE tells them to do without question. So yeah, basically cubicle nerds with good bodies.

Also Hunter apparently complaining that Punk's rear end was too big and soft. That was certainly a thing, even Conrad had to pause and go "... wait, what?" and dig in on that.

whatever they're doing, it ain't cardio because a lot of workers get gassed quick. meanwhile indie guys like Zayn and KO can run circles around most of the PC people. iirc the PC encourages hosed up lifting programs that messes with people.

Rovert's lament with the constant injuries coming out of the PC points to that. If they are doing cardio training, its probably something destructive like sulphur masks or something.

I had to laugh at that because it's such a HHH thing to say. Cant push that guy cause his rear end wobbles.

Also JR confirming that Hero never got a fair opportunity because of his weight

I've only listened to a few episodes but I think JR is my favorite Conrad podcast. He goes into tangents but they're almost always interesting old timey territory poo poo.

Kevin Owens learned to speak English from WWF tv, that’s the kind of thing that gets Vince’s attention. Plus KO dropped like 100lbs before getting on NXT tv.
