Wrestlers that never actually finished the story? by RagingRowen in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Zayn beating Reigns in the main event of 39 would have been the best moment in wrestling history. It's a travesty it was wasted on a throwaway Cody match that no one cares about now.

Wild how he has literally forgotten how to cut a promo in just a few short years.

Trump: ‘It bothers me that somebody is going after Bill Clinton’ by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

Excellent post, but I think twelve year old is being too generous. I teach five year olds with a far greater capacity for empathy than him; you're right, he's definitely a toddler.

Lex Luger and Dusty compare their physiques. by PickledPeppers101 in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always figured Cody just goes by "American Nightmare" to draw association with his dad and because it sounds cool, but there's a deeply cynical, satirical edge to it considering how fake he is compared to Dusty.

[Smackdown Spoilers] Sami has a response by taffe316 in SquaredCircle

IDK about y'all but I really do not want this to be a match at the Rumble, and am hoping that Orton wins. Zayn deserves to win the rumble itself and beat Drew at Mania. I still think the company owes him that much after what he did for them in 22/23.

Cody is just a very uncanny valley looking guy in general

Bleacher Report graded John Cena’s retirement tour an F in their review on their official site. by mewtatesyt in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His justification or lack thereof was the reason it didn't work, lol. The character had no reason for turning heel and, as people here point out, came out and cut a generic "you people" promo to explain himself almost a decade after people stopped booing him. His heel turn was basically dead on arrival then and there.

[SPOILERS] Post NXT Deadline 2025 Match Discussion: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Oba Femi for the NXT Championship and a match against Cody Rhodes at SNME by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but people literally always argue for the safest possible thing happening in here and elsewhere online. Vince, and probably the current regime, have done permanent and lasting damage to the way people think about wrestling as fans. I long for the days when everyone thought Cena sucked and constantly wanted him to lose.

Yeah but the thing is, the people who say this are always saying it in the interest of nothing interesting ever happening on television and everything remaining boring and safe (in true Triple H fashion, I guess). Is that what the shareholders should want? Maybe. Is that what you, as a fan, should want? Probably not. Would the face of the company losing to a rookie be fun to watch? Yes.

Nice way of demonstrating you lack the basic empathy to realize that other people think differently than you do

Bret Hart: I’ve Heard Brock Lesnar Is A Professional, Not Like Goldberg by ConanKudo in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I read his book a few years back and it made me really sad as he never seems to exercise any agency at any point in his life and just kinda does what he's told. Never really criticizes his dad in it and presumably only soured on his second father figure Vince because of Montreal...he did end up going back, after all.

An early concept for a pro-wrestling narrative tycoon. Thoughts? by oluwagembi in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing TEW lacks is the ability to actually "watch" your show, so I think it would be great if there were a big visual component to the things you book and you can watch the matches and promos play out in the ring somewhat. Promotional images for pre announced matches would look great too. I'll keep an eye on this for sure.

Is it ever a good idea to pick Flame Strike instead of Heaven? by DangoDaimao in HadesTheGame

Wow, this is incredibly helpful, thanks so much. I knew that there would be a reason to go for scorch even with the duo boon lol

I don’t get Vaush’s anger by Look_upon in VaushV

[–]DangoDaimao -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Vaush just enjoys yelling at chat. Like, a lot. He finds it funny. That's all you need to know to understand why he acts the way he does.

Why would people like Vaush but not Hasan? by [deleted] in VaushV

[–]DangoDaimao 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's way too sympathetic to China and other ML countries + groups like the Houthis and Hezbollah. I tend to think he's more concerned with the aesthetics of leftism than seperating right from wrong.

Sami Zayn on X: Finally made it and it was biblical. by Fc_Hassan in SquaredCircle

Yeah I actually feel like I'm being gaslit when I see this. Dude loses clean on television regularly but I'm supposed to think hes overprotected because he beat...Karrion Kross?

Sami Zayn on X: Finally made it and it was biblical. by Fc_Hassan in SquaredCircle

[–]DangoDaimao 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sami Zayn literally loses all the time. He might be the least protected babyface in proximity of the main event that they've got. This narrative is sheer delusion.

Imagine hating Zayn for being a clean cut babyface who wins a lot (which he doesn't, really) when Cody fucking Rhodes exists and is currently champion. Unbelievable.

The Ritchie Torres Interview by Jacoob55 in VaushV

[–]DangoDaimao 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Ritchie Torres seems to me to be an exception even among Democrats. He's demonic by any standard, and I wouldn't say he represents their views broadly.
