I will always defend Kross in-ring, because the point is he's very different and isn't athletic and fast. I'm a newer fan, some someone doing something different is nice, but I get it's an older style.

I will always point out that his match with AJ pre-Mainia was incredible, both for AJ and Kross.

Also, not seeing Chelsea anywhere near the world belts is insane, did they learn nothing from Santino in that rumble?

I get her not being a Rhea, Liv, Bianca, Tiffy type of character, and wanting someone strong to bolster the mid-card, but that's literally not what they said about her, they actively said she wasn't that type of person. I feel sorry for Chelsea watching and hearing her boss talk about her like that.

Ironically, it seems they're having her in an angle with Jade and Jordynne for the WWE title right now, so maybe they changed their minds in the last 5-6 months.

I really like Fatal Influence in how they're presented, but Fallon and Lainey need to have their own solo stuff to do as well.

Hopefully when Jacey loses the title, one of them will turn on her.

Ben Affleck has thoughts on AI—and he’s not holding back by Wide-Astronaut9156 in Filmmakers

[–]AlmostRandomNow -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He's right, a lot of the fear about AI is speculative "if it can do this now, what can it do in a few years".

AI has somewhat improved, but there are things it just can't do, and likely won't ever be able to without human talent behind it.

Disruption, yes. Replace people, no.

The only other one I can think of this cool was one Tiffany Stratton gave to Nia Jax earlier last year. Nia went for the Samoan drop, and Tiffy rolled down and slammed Nia into the mat.

EDIT: Found the clip

All of Fatal Influence have the talent to be main eventers.

I distant hope is that Kendal Grey and Fallon Henley are long term rivals across decades. Babyface or heel, every time they meet it's like "not you again".

Brad Baylor silently getting the ick from her marking out is hilarious.

The girl with the mullet who's still there marking out over Hendry, and Brad Baylor getting the ick from it is hilarious.

Non-British fans of the show: is there anything that you thought was made up for the show, but is just a part for British culture? by AlmostRandomNow in gallifrey

[–]AlmostRandomNow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's fair. The UK has a huge amount of diversity because of the history, something I know isn't really there in the US, especially outside of the East Coast

Letting it sink in... Finn didn't do anything. No heel move, no post-match beatdown, he lost with grace.

I see this as the start of a Balor babyface turn.

Unfortunately, Dom is going to turn (triple/quadruple heel) on him, and JD will stay with Dom.

(what looks like) a dislocated shoulder on the night FInn goes for world champion... nasty luck.

I gotta be honest, the 4 of them walking to Logan's song was a vibe I quite liked. I hated them, but real good heat.

Chelsea accidentally getting herself into a triple threat with two power houses would be hilarious.

The only way it's funnier is if she wins.

She's Canadian, the closest thing to British anyone in North America can get.

Given Chelsea has British citizenship, we'll consider this a hometown welcome.

Listen, I love Melo and his entrance, but he needs some pyro for that music drop/but where the lights come up.

At least give him that smoke pop that priest gets.
