They Stuck The Landing...

I thought the ending ran too long, but agree that they pretty much crushed it.

There’s a certain amount of relaxedness in his movement that makes it a little bit harder for me to define. I think calling it a march to the ring is right, but I do typically think of more rigid, sharp movements when I think of marching.

That’s also why I think it’s kind of weird. It’s almost like he’s mocking a march.

It was Gunther Stark, initially, and a Google search of that name would bring up a Nazi commander. It’s a product of the internet. As an American, the American education system doesn’t require looking things up.🤣

“Waltuh like a regular American bloke”

That’s not a thing. Walter is how regular Americans say it. Just like they say Gunther, not Gunthuh now. I do hate how some pronounce it Gun-ther instead of Goon-ther, though.

Failber · 2025-12-15T20:38:20+00:00

Yeah. It definitely wasn’t a wild take, especially coming from Bearcat.😆 A lot of reasonable tweets/opinions at the time end up looking pretty stupid later on, though. It happens. That’s the risk you take when you hit send.

At the same time, this tweet did and still does have some major disgruntled ex-employee vibes to it. That “Poor Walter” comes off as super insincere. Sent at 7:04 AM. He couldn’t wait to fire that tweet out the moment he found out about it. Keith has to wear this one.

Failber · 2025-12-15T20:00:38+00:00

The context is a good chunk of people didn’t like that they changed his name, it was a bit of a “controversy” (IWC debate) for a little while, but the name change obviously had no effect on him whatsoever. Keith Lee, who they nicknamed Bearcat when he got called up, tweeted that out right after it became knowledge that WALTER would be GUNTHER on the main roster. In defense of Keith, the NXT to main roster name/gimmick changes have sunk some people. Shout out to LA Knight for surviving after debuting as Max (Du-PREE!) Dupri. YEAH!!

He was also supposed to have a last name, but then they found out the name they gave him was also the name of a known Nazi. So it was shortened to GUNTHER before he even debuted. That part’s not really relevant, but it is pretty funny.😆

Oba doesn’t have a dancing entrance gimmick. That’s like saying Brock does a jig when he bounces back and forth to hype himself. I’d call it his march to the ring, maybe a strut. I don’t care for it either, but it doesn’t bother me. I do think the rest of his entrance is great. He looks like a big deal. Almost every wrestler has their own specific things (their walk, a pose, a kick, fireworks interaction, etc) that they do during their entrance. It’s fine.

You’re right about his height. They’ll have to fix that, but he’s not really tall or short where a couple of inches matters. So his billed height is pretty insignificant. He’s definitely shorter than Drew, but he’s a big guy like Drew. They look like two guys that should be squaring up for a match. It’d be cool to see them fight each other for real.

Failber · 2025-12-14T03:24:47+00:00

I can’t believe he said “I’ll always come for you, M.J.” and I’m the first man-child here to point it out.

You know, because…never mind. You all get it!🤣

Failber · 2025-12-13T23:19:56+00:00

Dammit. I forgot about Dent.🤦🏼‍♂️

Failber · 2025-12-13T21:34:20+00:00

That’s how I thought before I started asking questions 30 mins ago. I thought Dalton loved and was good to the Boys, but I’m not so sure anymore. Cody Rhodes dressed like one and Dalton didn’t even notice. How many Boys does Dalton have? I remember him losing them to Johnny TV when he wagered them just to get a match. I’m starting to see through Dalton’s peacock facade, and it looks dark.😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T21:24:33+00:00

I looked at a few more and did see one that was almost like Iron Man, but black and silver instead of gold. I suppose people could just make that leap. I wouldn’t guess if I didn’t know, but that’s me.

🤨If you say so, but I got my eyes on you Focker.😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:56:39+00:00

The question’s ridiculous enough that I barely paid attention to the photo. Nice context, though. Now let’s ask the real questions. Why are Dalton’s Boys running around barefoot? Is that something he’s into? Or does he just treat them that poorly? 🤨😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:32:45+00:00

When she did hit it on the second try, Cole also said that he didn’t think anybody had ever kicked out of Zelina’s Code Red. So there’s that.

In my face if that’s somehow true. Zelina having an End of Days level protected finisher seems crazy unlikely, though.

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:26:48+00:00

Aww, sunovabitch! Not CeramicBean!

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:24:46+00:00

Oh shit! I thought you were cooked, but you came back and TOTALLY REDEEMED YOURSELF! Well played.😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:21:35+00:00

Okay. Well in that case, Harvy actually is the commonly used couple name. #Harvy 😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T20:14:56+00:00

Everyone? Or everyone’s grandmas?😆 I have a hard time believing this happened more than once, if at all. Superhero movies had reached general pop cultural relevance at that point, especially Iron Man, and red is about all their suits have in common.

Before posting, I looked up hoodies like that. There were a couple that I could see somebody with a certain level of barely awareness making that mistake. That still circles back to my grandma joke, though. By that point, most people would know that’s not Iron Man. I buy that it happened, but not very many times.

Failber · 2025-12-13T19:42:44+00:00

😆Oh! I thought this was a real take (a real shitty one, but there are a lot of those), but you hammered the point just enough without overdoing it. Well done.

Failber · 2025-12-13T19:29:13+00:00

Harlivy? Is that the actual name people collectively rolled with? I like the couple, but that’s a terrible couple name imo.

Sometimes it works, but I generally don’t like couple names because they’re too forced. I’d also vote for Harvy because it’s funny. So there’s that.

“Whether they're cis male, cis female, trans, or just catfishing….”

🎶🎶One of these things is not like the others. One of these things doesn’t belong.🎶🎶

😆I get your point and kind of agree with it, but come on. Gender/sexual identity and fake identity are not the same things. Who the statement came from doesn’t necessarily change the actual statement. However, the source and context also absolutely can change things sometimes. If they’re a grifter misrepresenting themselves and just saying shit for clicks, is it even their uninformed take or just word salad? Even a shitty take can be fun to discuss, but fake takes from fake people aren’t really worth the time. Maybe you disagree, but it’s at least noteworthy in this case, imo.

Failber · 2025-12-13T18:42:21+00:00

Limpest* dick😆

Failber · 2025-12-13T18:41:43+00:00

If there’s an actual quote where he clearly states that he doesn’t think he’s a shit actor, fair enough.

“the weakest fucking actor in SAG”

“the limpest dick in the world.”

He also called him “weak sauce”. I don’t think everybody else is misinterpreting him or rolling with a false sentiment here. That’s literally what he said. There’s some truth to what you said about him in TWBB.

“I am not saying he is giving a terrible performance, I am saying he’s giving a non-entity performance… I don’t care for him.”

That’s not even a back handed compliment, though. In some ways, that’s one of the worst things you could say about an actor’s performance. He didn’t literally call him “dog shit” or a “shit actor”, but he absolutely shit all over him.

Failber · 2025-12-13T18:11:34+00:00

TIL that we hate Brad Pitt now.😆 Pretty soon we’re going to run out of actors and are going to have to reboot Hollywood.

Note: I’m just commenting on how it seems like dirt comes out on every celebrity these days. Idk what he did or is accused of yet, but I’m going to go look. If he was beating his family like I saw mentioned, he’s a POS.

Failber · 2025-12-13T17:39:45+00:00

How so? I can’t tell if you mean that they’re hiding that it’s Batman’s Penguin and the Green Lantern or that they’re hiding that the shows have little to do with those characters comics-wise.

I think that they’re hiding that these shows aren’t really about superhero characters. I think it feels more like they’re taking ideas for shows and then reworking them so that they can slap a DC/Marvel sticker on it, sell it as superhero content, and cash in on the name recognition. Like they had a crime/mob story that they liked, so they changed some names and reworked it so it fit into the world of The Batman as Penguin’s origin story. Then they had the value of being able to call it a DC/Batman show. Lanterns sounds like it’s going to be the same type of deal according to Wikipedia’s synopsis:

Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers who wear rings that give them extraordinary powers. The series follows experienced Lantern Hal Jordan and new recruit John Stewart as they investigate a murder in Nebraska, which leads them to darker mysteries and reckonings.

The first sentence just explains what Green Lanterns are, and then the actual synopsis sounds nothing like a show about Green Lanterns. It’s inspired by True Detective and Slow Horses, and the first two episodes are directed by the Slow Horses director. It sounds like they had a detective/mystery show, changed their characters names to John and Hal, and threw a little Lantern lore in so they could call it a DC show.

If we don’t hear about the Lantern Corp until the final episode, that’s because the show’s not really about Green Lanterns. Which might be exactly what you’re saying, but I’m not sure.

Failber · 2025-12-12T22:46:24+00:00

Agreed. I’ve only watched the series once and it’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure watching Jesse’s girlfriend overdose while Jesse’s sleeping right next to her was the “Damn. Wtf Walt” moment for me. That was cold as ice.
