I didn't watch the promo but from the reactions it seems like the comment about confidence being a heel trait is spot on. Caring about wins and losses is a heel trait, too. As is being friends with your tag partner.

It's funny, because as that text is written, I could maaaaaaaayyyyyyybbbbeee see that as the start of a cocky heel thing like they did with the Kenny Omega build before he fully turned. But as it's performed, there's not even a hint of cocky heel. It would be hilarious if someone told them to write it as a heel promo, but whoever was directing the segment just didn't care enough that they were acting like babyfaces.

Vince McMahon presents his top 5 great heel turns in history: 5. The Choctaw Tribe donating money to help sufferers during the Irish Famine. 4. The Christmas Truce of World War I. 3. Cincinnatus giving up ultimate power as a dictator the very second he had successfully fought off an invasion. 2. Hachikō waiting faithfully for his owner to come home. 1. Jesus Christ choosing to die in order to wash clean the the sins of all humanity.

MysticalMachineGun posted:Who can complete that Sub-Zero platformer fastest I saw a tool assisted speed run of that game and I swear the sewer level was still like 10 minutes long if you don't get lost and do the most optimal strats frame perfectly. Only cool part of that entire run was reaching platforms you're not supposed to by making enemies uppercut you up to them. Jerusalem posted:Bryan spent so long stressing that what he heard was beyond belief and crazy that I figured no matter what he said I wouldn't be surprised, then finally he said the above and, seriously... what the loving gently caress? I got this on my "wait and see" list because he spent so long prefacing not to make a big deal out of what he heard yet.

I still maintain MK Mythologies: Sub-Zero is worse than MK: Special Forces (the awful 3D action game starring Jax) because even though they're both terrible, at least the latter has a vaguely sensible control scheme and more importantly doesn't have any platforming.

it's been said a lot before, but the things that WWE booking reveals about the Vince McMahon psyche on even the basic level are genuinely unsettling.

At some point Vince knew that calling yourself, "the genetic jackhammer" or boasting about how you had gigantic balls were kind of heelish.

No no, he went down for the three, then afterwards left the territory. People are sure he'll come back one day, but he's kind of moved on to better things and it's time we all got over that

I'm pretty sure he had a short farewell run before he left for good, but I can't blame you for not knowing. Even some of his biggest fans couldn't believe it at the time.

I tried to go back and follow the product from the beginning, but the face/heel dynamic is all messed up. Half of the time the main authority figure is just a complete rear end in a top hat for no reason.

Mox on a WWE return.quote:"You gotta say never say never, because you don't want to run back what you said years later because you don't know what'll happen. Just the creation of AEW was so vital to the wrestling industry, and that's part of the reason why I'm so proud to be a part of it. I wouldn't rule out ever doing business with them again, we had a mutually beneficial relationship for a long time. If they called I would listen, but I highly doubt we would ever be on the same page. I'd be open to an idea. I don't not like money. I got a kid on the way and gotta put it through college so ya know. I would take a phone call, but I highly doubt anything would materialize." He's absolutely showing up when he's 48 and winning the belt.
