projecthalaxy posted:I remember a few months ago there was an ad that you could come to such and such an indie show and meet Izzy and buy Izzy merch and pay $30 to hug Izzy. I thought at the time "this seems bad". And now, it seems I was right as it let people like this become emboldened. Paying $30 to a hug a child is uh...whew, that's a thing.

The problematic part is not the origin of the term "stan," it's describing yourself as a passionate supporter of a small child.

Imagine expecting a Japanese person to move to the US at like 35 and learn the language well enough in three years to believably act in front of a million people. I spent four years learning French as a child who was capable of learning things and all I got out of it was an improved ability to sing Psycho Killer.

Vince MechMahon posted:I'm pretty sure it's more likely that Edge, Bryan, etc. haven't been miraculously healed and instead WWE just doesn't really give a poo poo about the health and safety of their not employees. The way Dave discussed it recently made it sound kind of the opposite, like WWE's doctors are incompetently telling guys they can't wrestle ever again and other doctors are telling them otherwise.

They report good ratings for AEW when they beat NXT, they generally like the show, and in return they DON'T get to report exclusive scoops? Unless someone thinks they are literally getting secret briefcases of money every month for... nothing, really, what would it be in it for anyone? People are Reddit are permanently brain poisoned by Gamergate and absolutely believe that all journalists are being bribed all the time

quote:Austin, Foley, and the like never got out of wrestling. Wrestling fans love them but even at its peak, the most you got from a non-wrestling fan was "Oh, that is the guy who gives people middle fingers and is on that MTV show? And beat his wife?" for Austin and "he seems nice. Was he on a nickelodeon thing?" for Foley. Like, I suspect the Bellas are more popular among the general public than Austin ever was.

They literally said it out loud on Dynamite: Danielson is going through the Dark Order to piss off Page and to hurt his friends to provoke him. And to show off, because he feels like he's on a whole other level compared to Page and the Dark Order, so he can just take them apart at his leisure and then finish the coup de grâce by taking Hangman's belt. But what about Paige
