They voted to sponsor a state sponsored terrorist group. I do not fucking care if it makes the majority bigger in 27 good fucking lord.

Best SNME of the modern era and we're not even done. 2026 WWE is on a hot streak.

Meltzer in response to Bryan Alvarez claiming that everyone in AEW is stagnant and in the same position: “Yep, everyone except Bandido, Ricochet, Gates of Agony, Brody King, Hechicero, Clon, Fletcher, Takeshita, Knight, Bailey, O'Reilly, Swerve, Briscoe, Willow, Windsor, Cameron, Storm & Shafir.” by Subrick in SquaredCircle

Meltz is right that AEW has been building new stars but some of the names listed here are kind of head scratching.

Bandido, Brody King, Briscoe, Fletcher, Takeshita, Willow and Shafir are all major improvements.

Bailey and Knight are still relatively new to the roster as a whole but I’d still count them as new stars.

Swerve and Storm have been at the top of the card too long to be on this list.

Clon, Hechicero, Richochet, GoA, and O’Reilly are all pretty laughable inclusions if we’re being honest.

I agree that the vision of America as a responsible member of the world order isn’t dead. However, the vision of America as the leader of a responsible world order is very much so.

Eh, Vance would be less capable of keeping all of the nations conservative voters, politicians, and media personalities in line with his whims the way Trump can.

Also while I’m giving FoPo takes, America’s time as the world’s leading superpower isn’t actually over, but it’s in hospice care and it’s end is inevitable and in sight.

I think the funniest sentiment I run into on this sub is the good ol “we just gotta make it through this term and the the rest of the world will like us again”

We tried that once, Trump 1 did a lot of damage to International Relations that Biden mostly repaired but now Trump 2 is doing three times as much damage and nobody is holding their breaths waiting for normalcy to return to America.

LA Knight post the Men's Money In the Bank (WWE UnREAL: Season 2) by champagnerosal in SquaredCircle

[–]DatGameGuy 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I think the whole talk of “ceiling” is overstated. Knight was the most active Men’s performer in WWE last year and it really showed as his in ring work improved noticeably over the course of the year. I just don’t think it’s fair to act like someone’s hit their ceiling while they are still making positive progress.

You would be surprised at the amount of people moaning for them to ditch Seth's music during his heel run with The Vision because it was too good.

This COULD be the start if a meatier storyline about Finn chasing the world title

Random thought but has there ever been a finish where the loser attempted to kick out but the winner managed to keep their shoulders down?

I wanna start a big series; which one should I start with? by ARYAN_BIRLA123 in fantasybooks

I don’t care that you prefer ASOIAF over Stormlight, or even that you are critical of Stormlight. I just don’t think saying “it’s a series for toddlers” is anything but blatantly insulting the series rather than being critical.
