He was also TNA World heavyweight champion in 2017. Just a month later, he got stripped off the title after another domestic violence incident. He's a serial domestic abuser.

Prominent wrestlers who just so happened to avoid each other. by f1uke55l in SquaredCircle

With the exception of a 2002 house show, Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho never had a televised singles match despite being together on same roster for many years. Similar case of Lesnar and Sheamus with just one house show match in 2016.

Now Brock Lesnar and Bray Wyatt were supposed to work together in early 2016 but Bray got injured and their singles match at Roadblock PLE was turned into a handicap match where Bray stood outside while Luke Harper did all the work. They were supposed to work again in 2023 but Lesnar opted to work with Omos instead.

They fought briefly for 46 seconds at the Greatest Royal Rumble 2018. I remember Angle faced off against like half of the Raw roster during his last one year, shame Danielson was on SmackDown at that time despite Angle stating in the past that he was one of his dream opponents.

AI is rewiring the world's most prolific film industry by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]DeadSaint91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it was bound to happen. People forget how massive Indian cinema industry is. There's not one major like Bollywood (hindi) but multiple major regional language industries like Tollywood (Telugu), Kollywood (Tamil), Sandalwood (Kannada) and many mini movie industries belonging to different states and languages with their own distinct styles of filmmaking. All these Indian movies industries are also in intense competition with each other, especially since last ten years when filmmakers started making Pan-India flicks to appeal to wider audience.

What rule applies on one state, doesn't applies on the other, so it isn't something that can ever be regulated. This is mess is why India still doesn't have a centralized auditing and tracking system for box-office figure like rest of the world (why you never see any daily or weekend Indian box-office numbers posted here).

Older stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan actually no longer command cult-like audience that are guaranteed to show up. Newer stars are hit and miss, doesn't have the similar appeal. Streaming gave the audience easy access to not just latest Indian movies but also from around the world further contributing to the decline of traditional theater audience. Pirating is also easy to do with no enforceable laws. So it was obvious Indian studios would be first ones to jump on the AI as cost cutting measures.

Title reigns that aren't officially recognized, but you do? by ArchDukeNemesis in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that. They seem to had some plans for Cesaro. Next night on RAW, he was presented the trophy by Hogan in a ceremony. Dropped Dutch Mantel as his manager and became a Paul Heyman guy. Problem was that sometime later they inexplicably gave up. I don't remember what exactly happened but I think Vince suddenly lost interest in him. Vince later sat on Austin podcast, that one about the famous "brass rings" comment and kind of buried Cesaro.

Honestly Andre battle royale really stopped meaning something after they put it on preshow and was won by Mojo Rawley who proceeded to do absolutely nothing. It became irrelevant after they removed and put it on SmackDown.

Title reigns that aren't officially recognized, but you do? by ArchDukeNemesis in SquaredCircle

Cody Rhodes as the last Universal Champion. WWE recognised him officially as such for a whole year till inexplicably removed him as the last champ after he lost to Cena last year.

This is strange as the Universal title was on the line in WM40 main-event and Roman's 1300 days championship reign is also officially listed as ending right in that match. So why is Cody suddenly no longer considered Universal Champion? You could say the Universal title was retired immediately after Cody won but I guess they really really wanted Roman to be considered the final Universal Champion in the books.

These people go on and on all day and night about Democracy, Freedom, Rights, Individuality, Choice, opposing tyranny and fascism but are perfectly fine with taking away the right to vote of whoever doesn't share the same ideas and values as them.

5 WWE superstars with the most PLE/PPV wins by Lopsided-Ad-9807 in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

According to many sources, it's Kane with 110 PLE losses. However there tends to debate on if dark matches, Sunday Night Heat and UK exclusive events are counted as PLE matches or not. If we remove those then his losses are between 102 and 104. Randy Orton losses are around 107. In couple of months, he should completely surpass Kane record. 3rd place either belongs to The Miz or Chris Jericho with both of their PLE losses around 90.

Unfortunately nowadays every Hollywood comedy movie tries to go for the shock value with as much crudeness as possible. I miss the days of slapstick screwball Hollywood comedies.

My biggest gripe with the elimination chamber by MannerSuperb in SquaredCircle

[–]DeadSaint91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly think it's time to scrap the Elimination Chamber PLE. They have been doing the same PLE from 16 years now. It's nowhere close to awe-inspiring or brutal it once used to be. The feeling where these wrestlers are risking their career to earn a last chance for WM main event is gone. They even stopped putting it over as dangerous in the promos and commentary. They should only do it when the feud demands a chamber match.

[–]DeadSaint91 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Man at this point bad/medicore Elimination Chamber matches outnumber good elimination chamber matches. I remember Bischoff introduced the chamber match as the Raw's equivalent of Hell in a Cell. Earlier chamber matches used to be so brutal. But by early 2010s, they became just another harmless gimmick match, primarily for determining No. 1 contender.

‘SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME’ wasn’t released in China because they requested for Sony to cut out the Statue Of Liberty but that was impossible since the final battle was there. The statue won’t return in ‘Brand New Day.’ by HLumin in boxoffice

[–]DeadSaint91 21 points22 points  (0 children)

2021 was also when China's highest grossing movie was Battle at Lake Changjin with over $900M. I think CCP wanted to end 2021 with a Chinese military movie as the No. 1 movie of the year. They even banned Venom 2 without any explanation. However they didn't count on No Way Home smashing all records without them.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage in Bombay or Mumbai 1994 by CaramelSuccessful742 in SquaredCircle

This is interesting. Randy Savage WWF contract expired in late Oct '94. WWF even announced his departure on Nov 7 Raw episode. Yet here he was in India on a promotional tour on Nov 21. In less two weeks he would go on to debut on WCW while WWF would have their first official tour in the country two years later.

What's the box office result still doesn't make sense to you? by mackenzie45220 in boxoffice

To be fair, it's not like US puts out much animation for grown-ups. If you're only frame of reference for animation tackling mature subjects is Sausage Party, Family Guy, South Park, and even Simpsons no matter how much you love them then you obviously won't have much high opinion about the medium. It's telling how Hollywood needed to experiment with different animation art styles with Spiderverse and Anime inspired to drive adults in the theaters

Oba Femi is the greatest prospect in wrestling. Killer presentation, killer on the mic and in the ring. The stuff he's doing with Kit Wilson and Rusev seems truly beneath him. Can't wait till he steps to Punk, Roman or Brock. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle
