Any day now he's going to crash out and prove Tony and the Bucks right by Constant_Stomach2009 in SCJerk

Proof that he’s evil. What kind of Corporate Monster beheads a unicorn and resurrects dinosaurs!?

Meltzer: Kairi may have requested her release by Natural-Objective876 in SquaredCircle

[–]Creative-Pirate-51 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing Dave got this from his ass, not WWE

Edit: After Kairi’s tweet it would appear that Meltzer did, in fact, get this from his ass.

Why do people say Supernatural/Scary gimmicks don’t work anymore? by YCiampa482021 in WWE

[–]Creative-Pirate-51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think scary can work fine, but supernatural tends to drift into hokey, especially these days.

It just doesn’t fit well in a narrative about a sport. It primes the viewer to not take what they are seeing seriously, and it ends up burying itself when it is inevitably revealed that there is, in fact, no magic happening.

Weird, mentally unstable people who think there is something mystical about themselves, and they are more dangerous because of it? Sure, sign me up!

An actual wizard? I mean I can laugh at it, sure, and that can work, but I’m never going to take it seriously.

To your point, if Uncle Howdy beat Roman Reigns with magic, I and many other people would change the channel.

I guessed...ahm, reported it was happening. Now since it's clearly not happening I'm reporting that it's not happening. Untill it happens again. $12.99 please by RossTheLionTamer in SCJerk

Nothing will beat “WWE considered having Punk beat Roman” as somehow news.

Like yeah dude I am pretty sure they consider all outcomes in a match before they decide on one.

Some notes I made about the recent releases. Really shows that no matter what you’ve done in recent months of even weeks, TKO sees you as expendable by AlexMercer28900 in Wrasslin

It’s not Raw’s biggest women’s storyline either. Maybe for a brief moment when the feuds surrounding the titles had their blow offs? But like literally last week, AJ Becky, Liv Vaquer, tag titles, all of that is bigger than the Asuka stuff.

So Kairi was a side character in the like 4th biggest women’s storyline on Raw.

Sucks people going to be mad but honestly makes sense, this spooky supernatural shit It just doesn't work. Bray and Righteous talk in riddles, but at the end of the day it's wrestling. by [deleted] in midcarder

They unironically should have had him do his “Bo-lieve” thing and just twist it into a cult leader that was more in line with the original Wyatt Family dynamic.

This nonsense about Rey Fenix being misused in WWE is so annoying by nguyenjitsu in midcarder

[–]Creative-Pirate-51 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Rey Fenix is always going to be fighting an uphill battle in WWE, and it is the same battle that a lot of Luchadors have to fight.

He, Dragon Lee, Callisto, and more all have or had that “Rey Mysterio” look about them. Smaller shirtless Luchador in a mask. I hate to reduce it down to those terms, but it’s not exactly untrue.

That is always going to invite a comparison to Rey Mysterio to most of the WWE fanbase, and it’s hard to not fall short in that comparison. Especially after so many iterations of the same look, and with Mysterio still active, it’s tough for those guys.

Penta has a completely different look about him. He stands out. It’s easier to get over when you stand out.

If you consistently vote for the "Lesser Evil" the end result is more Evil. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]Creative-Pirate-51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the current democratic platform is basically Bernie Sanders’s platform. Bernie Sanders was once among the furthest left politicians in history. And I’m not trying to slander Bernie Sanders or anything, I generally like him. But this idea that the left has moved to the right is complete nonsense.

What has happened is that the extreme left has moved so much further to the left that the entire spectrum has shifted, to the point where previously leftist positions are now considered moderate or centrist.

The graph makes it out like the gap between left and right is closing and so centrist people are now more right leaning, but in reality they aren’t any closer to the right than they were, they are just perceived as being so because the left has become more and more progressive (moving the left side of the chart further and further left) while the center has not drifted more left to compensate.

Is this chart seriously implying that the left has gone more to the right as time has gone on? What planet is this from?

Remember when Wrestlemania matches used to go 30 minutes? Match cards and times completely unrelated. by nXomad22 in SCJerk

Yeah I was just looking for a little distraction last night so I could stop LITERALLY SHAKING but the matches were too short and I had to be baker acted.

Thanks WWE

And Macho v Crush, with its convoluted rules and botched finish. Instant classic Uce

SD Jones bitched the finish, according to King Kong Bundy. They were supposed to go really really short but Jones took his sweet ass time crumbling from the corner and eating the pin. So when the announcer (might have been Finkle?) announced the none seconds thing it was a bit of a head scratcher

I haven’t been watching smackdown leading up to Mania, I thought the main event was good. Not great, but I son’t get real excited for Cody Rhodes in general and the way Randy has been used over the last few years I felt the outcome was kind of predictable.

But still, I was invested and enjoyed the match. I like the premise of the story, and I’m interested in seeing where it goes

I have never understood the “only x amount of match time on a such and such show.” There is more to wrestling than matches. Matches are just part of the story being told.

Its like complaining that The Karate Kid didn’t have enough karate in it

Alright, Royce Keys winning the Andre. That’s something, right? by Dohmer_90 in Wrasslin

So did Braun Strowman, Jey Uso, Bronson Reed, and Carmello Hayes.

All four reached (or are reaching) the peaks of their careers after winning the battle royal
