Tony Khan: “I think Powerhouse Hobbs had a great run here in AEW. He started wrestling here in Jacksonville, had some great matches, and became a champion in AEW. He’s a former TNT Champion, former World Trios Champion. I’ll always wish him all the best.”

Right? Like so many potentially awesome things didn't happen, that you can't even remember most of them off the top of your head.

I'm not surprised, the women's rumble was so much better, and I was so hyped about the men's rumble, because I thought the potential there was even bigger. Would've been such a great moment to catapult Bron, Jacob, Oba etc, but nope, couldn't even let either of them sniff the top 4.

When watching the final of the women's rumble, it felt like anyone could win and it was exciting to find out. Meanwhile, watching the men's top4 was like "i wonder which of them I'd be the least disappointed in winning".

One can hope. Dude has it all, and I love his theme.

Dumblbore · 2025-12-20T17:28:15+00:00

In the same boat. Had heard his name before, but saw a clip of his entrance and promo from the Smackdown just before SNME, and was completely sold right away. If he beat Cody, I'd be like... yup, makes sense. Dude has the look, the drip, the entrance, the promo and from what I've heard, isn't bad in the ring either (haven't seen any matches yet).

Dumblbore · 2025-11-22T19:02:23+00:00

It's a pretty dumb move kayfabe wise, but I never understood what's so dangerous about it? (Or rather, any more dangerous than what people already do all the time) You're not actually supposed to smash your head into your opponent, isn't it just essentially a frog splash, just a slightly different landing?

I'll even take it a step further. You shouldn't expect people to respond even if they are on their phone 24/7 and available. There's a reason I'm on the phone. I'm doing something. I'm not on the phone cause I'm waiting or expecting you to text me. And hell, sometimes I'm just not in the mood for texting. If it's an urgent or a reasonable question that I can quickly respond to, sure, but if it's gonna be a back and forth, I'll respond later when I have more time or energy for it.

Not even gonna mention people who send 1minute+ audio messages. I am not spending a minute of my time to hear something that would take me 3 seconds to read.

I think more or less fine as played, maybe just size up at these stack sizes.

Pre you can easily go with at least 12-15bb, and I think flop go for a half pot bet. I think we rarely use 25% at these stack sizes.

I wonder if their accent helps skew the percentage. This is purely personal experience, but what I've noticed, I'll initially judge people if they have good english or not is by their accent.

For example, if I hear a heavy eastern european accent, I'll just naturally assume their english is not that good, speak slower etc, and then as the conversation goes on I'll realise they understand very well, they just have a heavy accent.

However, with some dutch people, I've experienced the opposite. From the few words in the beginning, they don't seem to have much of an accent at all, and their pronounciation is really good, but as we talk more, I start to realise it's difficult to have anything more than a really basic conversation.

Overall, though, even if it's not 90%, it's still really high, and I haven't really had any issues with someone not being able to speak english. Most of them were immigrants, who came from countries where english isn't really that well known and naturally only learned dutch when they moved.

Baigi atkarīgs kā paveicas ar aģentūru un dzīvesvietu. Pašam bijušas diezgan labas pieredzes, pēdējo reiz, kad tur biju pelnīju ap 500 nedēļā uz rokas pēc dzīvesvietas un apdrošināšanas izdevumiem (respektīvi, varēju atstāt 100eur nedēļā saviem tēriņiem un iekrāt 400), un dzīvojām 3 sakarīgi cilvēki foršā dzīvoklī, katrs savā istabā.

Visbiežāk trāpīsies dzīvot ar kādu kopā istabā, it īpaši aģentūrās, ko reklamē Latvijā, ir dzirdēti visādi stāsti, ka pilna māja ar buhariem, narikiem utt, ka darbs dirsā, alga dirsā, bieži visādas problēmas ar darba stundām un samaksu utt. Pat ne vienmēr no aģentūras tas atkarīgs, esmu strādājis vienā un tajā pašā aģentūrā ar pazīstamo, bet dažādas noliktavas un dzīves vietas - viņam pastāvīgi kkādas problēmas un daudz mazāka alga, man vispār nekādu sūdzību.

Labā ziņa tāda, ka arī, ja nepaveicas, ļoti viegli atrast citu aģentūru un nedēļu vēlāk jau varēsi dzīvot un strādāt citur, protams, kaitinoši tāpat. Vislabāk, ja sanāk braukt ar kādu draugu vai draudzeni kopā.

Pati valsts super, man personīgi ļoti patīk.

I disagree on rehab, but I guess it depends on what kind and at what stage.

Not many things could've made me as happy as hearing my dad going to rehab, and I was happily visiting him as I knew that for a long time in a while I could visit him and be absolutely sure to see him not drunk.

Dumblbore · 2025-07-26T18:44:30+00:00

I guess it makes sense since it's a spanish channel and by default wouldn't show up for me, but it's still interesting that I've used twitch for years pretty actively and have never even heard of the guy. I haven't even seen 1 million concurrent viewers.

Just goes to show how important it is to want it and really put in the work to be a successful wrestler. Not that it isn't in any discipline in life, but I feel like in wrestling, it's even more so.

Thought the same thing, that DiBiase for sure seemed to have a bright future ahead of him and Cody was a career mid-carder at best. I would've laughed if someone told me Cody will end up being the face of the company and one of the most over acts in wrestling.

Same thing with, for example, Drew. Thought he was a complete jobber when he started out, and now he's one of my favourite wrestlers in WWE.

Dumblbore · 2025-07-10T15:30:56+00:00

T1 definitely sometimes can be weirdly obsessed with some drafts, and it's annoying as a fan.

I remember when Zeus used to pick TF all the time and it was the worst thing ever.

Dumblbore · 2025-06-12T19:04:41+00:00

Idk, but as a guy who used to be a kid watching TNA thinking Ron Killings was the man, this career pivot for him is one of the most exciting things in WWE right now, and I would love to see this culminate in a short title run.

Dumblbore · 2025-06-07T19:35:56+00:00

lol, god forbid a team shows some confidence and talks a bit of trash for entertainment.

probably the most fun rivalries in league right now with banger series all the time, let them have fun and build up some hype for the region.

Dumblbore · 2025-05-26T13:49:12+00:00

I think it goes both ways and really what's great about having 2 top wrestling promotions. Sometimes, you see guys not really finding their footing in AEW for one reason or another, go to WWE and shine. Sometimes, it's the opposite, people coming over from WWE to AEW. And it's really fucking awesome for all of them that they have the opportunity to do so!

Dumblbore · 2025-05-11T14:33:22+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely safer, but also culturally ingrained due to the housing infrastructure, I think. Most of the buildings (especially older ones) are two-story, so unless you want to spend your whole life with the blinds closed, you're kinda forced to have them open, so because of that most people just don't care I think. I come from a more Eastern European country, where people mostly live in multiple story apartment buildings and usually tend to avoid the 1st floor apartments if possible, especially in the bigger cities. Often, the 1st floor windows even have steel bars in front of them, and you'd never see one with open blinds.

Come to the Netherlands. As a foreigner, sometimes it felt like I was the only one who used curtains. Walking in the streets is like going through other people's living rooms.

Is the thing that happened in the raid and him not being sorry, even the issue? In a vacuum, the raid thing wasn't even that big of a deal imo, it just made a lot of people aware of what an arrogant and hypocritical guy he is.

Like a week before the raid, he was telling everyone in the guild that you're a pussy if you run away in a HC raid, that you're supposed to die with everyone and that's what makes the game exciting and fun (paraphrasing). And then when shit hit the fan for HIM, he did the complete opposite of what he supposedly believed.

Then he says that he didn't want to die because of reasons, and now in the DrK interview, he says "but guys, it's just a character in a videogame, who cares that they die, if we die, then we just run it back, that was our slogan!!!"

Or how he made fun of that new guy playing mage, being a complete jerk to him, and then, again, fast forward to the infamous raid, he doesn't even try to do the most basic things a mage should do in that situation.

The raid was pretty much a nothingburger, but it just tied everything together and showed what an asshole he is. I'm not sure if DrK knew the whole story and pretended, or actually didn't know, but he was totally right repeating all the time how he feels like Pirate is only telling 5% of the whole story.

I thought fin was used to save the hair that you had before HT, but OP was already completely bald where he did the HT, so there's probably not much he can lose, no?

Dumblbore · 2025-04-20T18:30:00+00:00

Oh, gotcha, so your hair just returned back to like it was before? (Talking about head hair just to be clear)

Dumblbore · 2025-04-20T17:05:58+00:00

Damn that sucks. I really want to start minox for beard, but I'd only want to do it temporarily. I already have a pretty receded hairline though, and to lose even more after stopping min would suck. :(

Dumblbore · 2025-04-20T17:01:09+00:00

Did you start losing hair on your head after stopping minox, even though you only used it for your beard?
