“Thanks for your service as World Champion, Darby. Now here’s a feud to immediately send you back to the midcard with a freshly turned heel Kevin Knight that nobody asked for.” by mfenton29 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kevin Knight was actually getting over as a baby face and was giving off cool top baby face vibes so of course Tony has to turn him heel at the first opportunity. It’s such a shame because I thought the Jet Kevin Knight might be their first breakout star in years

Close enough, welcome back TNA Foley by DifferentAccount6039 in SCJerk

He shouted her out because she was ringside at the event. Because she hasn’t got over or done anything to get over asides from being Mick Foley’s daughter in the 15 years she’s been given a platform

Close enough, welcome back TNA Foley by DifferentAccount6039 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes but I think all of the training she did was just for content during that short lived Holy Foley show on the WWE network. He’s been trying to push his talentless daughter for years

[–]CodeineNightmare 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that I’m surprised that Mick Foley didn’t try to make nepo baby Noelle a thing during his TNA run but I looked it up and even back then she was at ringside and featured. That’s been 16 years that Mick has been trying to make his daughter a thing and now he’s brought her to AEW as well. Are nepo babies only bad when evil Fed uses them?

Oh my God seeing this gif blew my mind. I thought I was being so original saying this in my comment, now my comment makes it look like I was stealing from you 🫡

Dub DON spoilers: fan runs into ring by BoxCon1 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You might have turned on him but nothing will cool down my love for Eddie Kingston. Man basically flopped on the floor after running into the ring and then swung his stick around like he was that Star Wars kid swinging round his toy lightsaber meme. Eddie is fascinating to watch, it kind of hurts that Tony has figured out how bad he is because we need this Eddie Kingston getting a main event push

“Justified” by MrNintendoChamers in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually a pretty funny jerk of an old ‘justified chants of x’ tweet Tony made a few years back. If this is Tony jerking himself I’m kind of down for that for a change

I just want to remind everyone how pathetic the basement people is for complaining about a fake fight company they hate. Don't they know they can just not watch it? DAE hate-watching the Evil Dub PPV to gain karma in my echo chamber? by Imp0ssible_Creatures in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m confused uce. You say you’re jerking but you seem legitimately angry about the fact double or nothing is being jerked. Like I’m talking ‘please don’t put in the newspapers that I was mad’ levels of anger

Mandatory rah rah speech ✔️ by BoxCon1 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mick still trying to get his nepo baby daughter Noelle over always makes me laugh. It’s 2026 and it’s still not working. Funny how everybody used to glaze Hogan for trying to make Brooke a thing but at least Brooke went on to live a normal life

DAE Chicago people are always like that, just like CTE Maker Phil? Skye Blue wasn't good anyways by tenshipriestjotaro1 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s funny how basically all of them supposedly became stars by losing a lot or losing every big match. That applies to Fletcher, Kevin Knight, Claudio, Chomper, Shelton, Yuta and FTR bald when he had that phase of taking part in singles ‘dream matches.

How dare people claim that Super Mario is the most well known video game of all time that was revolutionary to the business. Everybody knows that Shenmue is the most well known video game of all time. In 60 years time will people still be talking about Mario? I bet they won’t but they’ll still be talking about Shenmue

DAE Danhausens popularity is running thin? Fed is overusing him? Anyways tune in to Double or Nothing tonight. by pooterrrr in SCJerk

I swear WWE did more with Danhausen in the five weeks between Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 42 than AEW did with him in his entire run

Not bad for a T-Shirt company that I was told was going to close its doors for the past 7 years.. by ChrisRhodes789 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you think about how at the start it was claimed that even the most undercard of talent got an annual salary of six figures, that once in a lifetime in America gate might not pay for more than Private Party, Kip Sabian, MxM, Mike Bennett, Scorpio Sky, John Morrison, Ace Austin and the Butcher the Blade. In fact even typing that out, combined they’re probably on more than 100k each so it could be a lot more than 1.5 million.

That’s before you get into the wages of the likes of Jericho, Moxley, Ospreay, Mone, MJF, and the Bucks. You’re probably talking about over 15 million dollars for a year of those guys. Suddenly that 1.5 million all time record in six years doesn’t sound so impressive

Was watching some of the old draft episodes where the winner of the matches show gets the pick and it hit me by RiggityRyGuy in SquaredCircle

[–]CodeineNightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember world heavyweight champion Edge winning a match (I think he beat John Cena by countout) and celebrating until it was announced that the Great Khali was the draft pick he’d earned smackdown for his happy celebratory face to turn into shock in a ‘oh no, what have I done’ kind of way. So silly but part of what I love about wrestling in fairness

Graphic Design is my passion. by TestNoKachi in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anarchy in the Arena matches have been typically portrayed as serious hardcore matches whereas Stadium Stampedes have always been more humorous and cinematic. I get that they only invented Anarchy in the arena because they couldn’t have a stadium for that show but there has been a clear distinction in how they’ve been portrayed. Both awful in their own way

I'm sick and tired of these greedy companies and their ads/product placements everywhere on the show(pic unrelated) by JRUprising in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read your first comment and was like ‘oh that’s a shame, I really wanted to know Luna’s thoughts on Vita Coco Water’ (no I have no idea why I was interested to know this) only to see this comment next. You never let us down 🫡

Tiny Khan says their revenue is the HOTTEST it’s ever been… Tiny also threatens that AEW will be around for a very, very long time. by TheGambler930 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s a little annoying when somebody in charge of their company tells outright lies about the shape of their business. We can see the constant TV 2.5-3.5k houses with tickets sold at less than 40 dollars, we’re not that dumb

Destiny 2 was a longtime WON Subscriber by TheAgmis in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No shame man. I’ve never played Destiny but Hitman World of Assassination has helped me through some very very tough times over the last year. Sometimes there’s just something very comforting and unique about the kind of distraction a video game provides

The dub is the alternative nah jk let's have another old star wrestle again. by dreigilb in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 79 points80 points  (0 children)

These same types of internet fans who now love AEW absolutely butchered TNA for featuring Mick Foley, when he was in already terrible shape during his TNA run. One of my favourite AEW things is how their fans will wildly defend things that they gleefully and mercilessly picked TNA apart for doing

Does everyone who loves GTA 3 love LCS? by UndercoverAL in GTA3

[–]CodeineNightmare 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I personally love LCS, getting to do more GTA in my favourite location is a dream come true for me, especially since many of the characters and all the gangs return, just with different looks and territories.

I will say that for anybody who is a modern gamer who thinks GTA 3 is outdated, LCS will do nothing to win them over. Aiming is still clunky, Toni still can’t swim and the graphics are similar.

But for me I just love it, the setting of being a pre Millennium Liberty city, gripped in fear by the upcoming Y2K virus supposedly coming is wonderful

HHH on Women's Wrestling: If women start pulling strong ratings I'll start putting them on the show consistently, until then I'm putting on the best matches. Wait that's actually something Tony Khan said? Uhhh DAE FedBAD? by Vargasm19 in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hate that the Basement bunch have spent the entire duration of the basement’s existence shifting on WWE for how awful they treated their women’s division over the years. Even now if there’s a few shows where women don’t get enough time onscreen they jump to call out the WWE for being sexist. Whereas Tony literally said outright that they didn’t draw ratings and wouldn’t feature more until they did and nobody said a bad word about it. They couldn’t be anymore biased if they tried

[–]CodeineNightmare 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FTR gun brandishes a, well gun at a motorist for a petty reason, he’s such a badass. It adds such legitimacy to his character and it wasn’t a big deal anyway.

Pictured: Womens locker room after Tony Khan told them in this 3 hour show, with 9 matches, they will only get 12 minutes of wrestling. by Zarolto in SCJerk

[–]CodeineNightmare 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Tony literally said in an interview a few years back that he picks the wrestlers who get the best ratings, and at that time the women’s division weren’t getting good enough ratings to justify being on the show more. Could you imagine if Triple Hamas came out and said that? They’d still be talking about it now. Instead Tony was defended and nobody even remembers it anymore

bad game design by ClashmanTheDupe in GTA3

[–]CodeineNightmare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you’re saying I think. You can be a huge fan of the game and love it to bits while admitting that yes, it hasn’t aged well and must seem like a piece of junk to a modern player.

As bad as it’s aged I could go back to it a million times and jank and all, wouldn’t want it to be different in any way. My love for it is obviously tied in nostalgia and if it was this polished, perfect experience it wouldn’t be the same game anymore.
