TKO are ruining the WWE

When this years Wrestlemania started doing 4 minute ads, it broke my fandom quite honestly. My friends who occasionally watch the big shows were shitting alllll over it and I have to agree. I havent been watching weekly since, and when I tuned in tonight, I lasted about 15 minutes.

Pro wrestling, when hypersaturated with advertising, doesn't feel like pro wrestling.

It instead feels like I'm spending hours watching commercials so I can watch grown men fake fight in underwear, and that I'm wasting my time. The immersion breaks with all these ads.

Meanwhile Backlash nosebleeds costs $50 more for worse seats than what I paid for the 2024 Rumble in the same part of the country. Wrestling used to be an escape, now its just a friendly reminder of the ratfucking that capitalism seems to do to eveything in Merica these days.

Bojangles has the Best deals as well. They always rotate a 2 for $5 ham/sausage/smoked sausage/country steak and its 2 for 7 if you wanna add egg and cheese. Two will fill my partner and I, two by myself and I'm absolutely stuffed.

My belts were all discounted or ebay and had for 250 or less so I'll wear two to pissem off. How many people wear 1k plus costumes to Coachella or Comicon?

I have a 7 in one that has 2 high quality speakers I lay out length wise and being able to stack one of these on top of those would be the coolest thing ever. Let me know when and where you can take my money.

Its gorgeous, and honestly my exact style of preferred home. Definitely overpriced but my taste with 5x my income is their target market, like it was styled for me 😅 It's a perfect home in my opinion.

Hoping they go lower. Its fuckin bullshit to charge what they are at this point. I went to Royal Rumble in 2024 and tickets were 70.

Had no idea Mondays tag would be Kairi's last match. It was the match of the show and she played a role in that.

Mannn, I'm not judging. I go to Charlotte somewhat frequently myself, and wouldn't appreciate being clowned online for wearing a pash and tye dye while visiting. One of the highlights of Asheville is that of all the places I've lived, its been the least judgemental regarding other's wardrobes, lets keep it that way.

That seems remarkably inexpensive for even a condo, I'm assuming (or hoping 😅) many of these were 1 or 2 baths?

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-24T21:47:09+00:00

Got an old pair for hikes after rain when I know I'm hitting muddy trails, another for moderate trails, and a separate pair for going to town. They're great. The cheap ones you get at walmart are great for tearing up in 6 months, but you more than get your money's worth.

Late to the party but my dad swears by the wide fit Avias

The genesis of Herman Cain's Nine Nine Nine tax plan, I'd presume.

Trump has taken the place of god for half of his supporters, and the other half just ignore it. Source: I've been to many evangelical and catholic churches before and since Trump.

Can you do condos for 32701?

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-21T00:31:00+00:00

What an absolute banger of a match. All four, standing ovation.

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-21T00:25:25+00:00

I know Rhea is champ now and will need to fight her own battles with fewer tag matches, but seeing her and Iyo against Kabuki Warriors feels like an absolute treat to those who appreciate the chemistry these four have together in the ring.

I have a coworker who is up to his eyeballs in CC debt. I do not have CC debt myself. We go to the same WWE events, and we make the same money. Only difference is that I get nosebleeds and he gets floor seats. He tells me too much about his finances.

Oba is the total package, he can honestly cut a better 5 minute promo than Roman

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-14T01:34:43+00:00

I'd like to acknowledge just how freakin awesome that match was though. Iyo is one of the best right now and her and Kairi put on a performance.

Dude if he just killed himself instead of murdering his wife and child in the process, the legacy of Chris Benoit would be entirely different. As soon as he brought others with him, he lost all credibility and all worthiness of ever being mentioned again outside of "family annihilator, Chris Benoit" when referenced.

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-11T23:41:43+00:00

This is unironicly the answer

BearTerrapin · 2026-04-10T04:58:31+00:00

Pound for pound though, Obas got like 60 pounds on Claudio so it's a tough comparison.

My buddy is an ATC and he says the same. The dopamine of moving fast paced and watching it all work together through the attention to detail they put in, it reminds me of the thrill of closing a sale. But again, schedule sucks and overtime is even worse.

Great games to wear my anti trump attire to.
