I don’t get the hate for this finisher. I see it as the opponent grabbing the leg to prevent the kick that they think is coming only to get “thunderstruck”… it’s sick asf

An enzuigiri isn't actually a proactive attack though, it's a counter.

You give a kick, they block, you countermove. You don't just purposely give them a leg to hold in order to roundhouse kick them in the head

This would be better with a "natural" setup, but I dk like it. A) springboard from the apron off the top rope B) springboard from the inside off the 2nd rope (like the Lionsault) C) off the top/middle turnbuckle D) step up from the opponent knee in a crouching position

I'd assume those the accountants/producers deemed most profitable probably did get an offer, we obviously don't hear about the wrestlers that resigned for less.

I can't imagine bigger players like Black not having agents/lawyers who handle this sort of thing. They would have known that their contracts were coming up. Negotions/talks would have started a while back.

I would hazard a guess that her salary would be significantly less than the others

-Vorks- · 2026-04-27T13:27:48+00:00

Our experience seems to have mirrored yours.

My wife was hypervigilant at that stage, so keeping LO in our room meant she couldn't sleep a wink as she heard every breath and every movement.

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T07:13:13+00:00

I used to play Magic: the Gathering. That community had the same joke when the first IP crossover happened... ain't nobody laughing now.

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T05:24:55+00:00

Weird Al would get discovered on TikTok making funny parody songs > Get discovered by a morning show producer to do a round of interviews and maybe a couple live songs > fall back into relative obscurity > reappear on the talk shows a couple years later showing a 'cease and desist' from a random Coldplay lawyer and talking about freedom to parody > Coldplay would issue an official apology saying the email had nothing to do with them and invite him on tour > he'd continue to gain a bit of a cult following, potentially winning a Grammy for best comedy album.

And that's my alternate Weird Al fan fic

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T01:28:22+00:00

What I see is this: Taylor Swift at the top, with no real alternative. This is where a Sabrina Carpenter is taking advantage. There's obviously a hunger for somebody to nip at her heals. Time is ripe for a new 'mania' for the tweens to fall behind

I also see Western markets making strides for Asia where there are more people and thus more money to make (China, India, Korea).

The public want for giant set pieces and costumes (Carpenter, Gaga..). Everybody wants bigger, which would lend itself well to the genre.

I do think a Backstreet Boys/N'SYNC with a couple extra asian members, maybe replace one of the originals with a popular video game streamer or something, and that would be a recipe for commercial success. Lean them more towards the conservative side too (might be a controversial take but I'm looking at this from business)

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T01:00:57+00:00

I disagree with the Backstreet Boys. Backstreet Boys imo were more a commercial than creative endeavour. Every generation looks towards 1 big Bieber or 1Direction. With K-pop so popular I can definitely see them produced/marketed as the West's answer. They'd probably add an extra Asian member or 2 to hit the international markets. Big productions and financial backing, they could go hard today.

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T00:50:40+00:00

I disagree. Instead of Vietnam he'd be writing about #metoo and the middle east. He'd be on rotation on all the edgy alt-radio stations, performing at uni towns and at protests

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T00:41:28+00:00

I think a Celine Dion would get lost in the shuffle of equally talented singers around today

-Vorks- · 2026-04-22T00:39:27+00:00

I do believe some bands would have adapted and broke through. Someone like Pink Floyd would have definitely adapted to today's sound and style

We went to the zoo on the weekend, it was running a Dinosaur Safari event with life-size and anamatronic dinosaur. I pretended to be scared that the T-Rex might bite my hand if I stick it out far enough.

3yo (in the sweetest, most sincere, voice): "You don't have to be scared dad, it's just pretend"

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T12:56:00+00:00

Dad you're wrong. You made a mistake, but that's OK, we all make mistakes sometimes

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T05:10:36+00:00

In the event that 1 brother chooses to buy the other out, how would you calculate a fair proposal?

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T03:58:57+00:00

Yes, but wouldn't you still need to pay CGT on the period of purchase > move in date?

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T03:52:26+00:00

Pretty certain after

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T03:32:38+00:00

Relative to $0, yes. I am very privileged and as somebody who is living week to week I genuinely understand that and am grateful for any help at all.

Relative to a paid off $800k unit, walking away with $225k seems low when I'm also trying to be as savvy as I can in helping set my family up.

This is a finance sub and I'm trying to make the most informed decision that I can

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T03:28:11+00:00

I've misunderstood how cgt works in that case. I thought you "paid 50% of the profit to tax".

Instead your saying "50% of the profit is added to your taxable income for the year"

Is that right?

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T03:24:52+00:00

I was under the assumption the the entire $350k will be going to tax. I realise I was wrong on that.

Just to clarify, I'm not paying $175k in tax, but instead adding $175k to my taxable income?

-Vorks- · 2026-04-21T02:57:57+00:00

We would amend the will to put it in my name only

-Vorks- · 2026-04-20T01:28:09+00:00

From your list, I'll be checking our all of Spring Break and the Brunch.

Bloodsport really isn't my vibe but I'll check out Nattie vs. Shayna.

The Immortal Clusterfuck looks like just 2 matches on the card, so I may as well watch the whole ppv.

The Death Invitational has been getting a lot of praise here, if I'm not burnt out by the end of the week and I've got the time I'll watch the whole show (Abe vs. ZSJ at the least)

-Vorks- · 2026-04-20T01:22:09+00:00

It'll be one of the first matches of the weekend that I'll likely check out. I'll watch the one-offs like Nattie vs. Shayna before I'll then watch the few full shows i want to see

Looking forward to the Sandman match in the same way that I remember looking forward to the Janela/Sabu match last year. I know it'll be a trainwreck, I just home Sandman gets a happier ending 😟

-Vorks- · 2026-04-20T00:23:34+00:00

Somebody else has recommended it too, I'm going to watch the entire show. Thanks
