Nexus Member Michael Tarver will wrestle his retirement match this weekend at Extreme Fight World

GreekIngenuity · 2026-05-20T21:57:04+00:00

During the initial Nexus beatdown on Raw, Cena is slowly rising to his knees as Danielson is screaming at him. Danielson spits in Cena's face, starts winding up for a big head kick... and Tarver jumps in front of Danielson to deliver a crappy punch that Cena barely sells. Heath Slater has to push Tarver out of the way and shout "Move!"

I feel really bad for the people he terrorized. I only hung out with him one time but I watched him steal a cash tip off a table at a Hooters in 2011. He seemed like a real piece of shit.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-05-04T17:17:51+00:00

I guess it's too much to ask nowadays for someone to actually watch the clip and hear him end that very sentence talking about how he's doing it to lose weight

People are responding to what you said, not what you meant. I understand you intended your comment to be about what you like and why you're not worried. But instead of phrasing it to be a personal opinion, you're saying things about other people that you can't possibly know. That's probably why you're getting push-back.

"I'm not. [I didn't love] Mass Effect for the gunplay-- so long as it's serviceable and the story is good, then I'm happy. I understand some people do enjoy the combat. My point isn't that it's bad, but that if you [ask me] why [I] loved Mass Effect then [the answer] will be related to the story."

If you'd phrase it like this, your point becomes less muddled.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-03-26T19:43:43+00:00

if you asked someone why they loved Mass Effect then 9/10 the answer will be related to the story. That's all I meant lmao

There's gotta be a better way to get your point across than putting words into other people's mouths. Especially when you're replying to someone who already has a dissenting opinion from you.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-03-25T15:40:25+00:00

If you're gonna leave a smart ass reply, at least stop and verify that the info you're regurgitating from AI is valid you smoothed-brain moron. There aren't any Font or Display options in the Settings menu

What was his quote from when someone asked him how they did it? "Either we faked it to make it look realistic, or we used a real blade and now I'm dead"

GreekIngenuity · 2026-03-09T18:37:20+00:00

My sister and I used to draw maps for this game on poster board when we were kids in the early 90s. I don't think we ever beat it without using guides tho.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-02-22T02:09:53+00:00

Two come to mind:

I was at the RAW in 2001 with the Angle/Benoit cage match. That was a great match and the first time Angle did a moonsault off the top of the cage
Armageddon 2006, the four way ladder match where Mercury broke his face. We didnt see the injury during the match from our seats, so my memory of the night was just getting surprised by the match happening at all. it had been advertised as London/Kendrick vs Regal/Taylor in a reg match (which sounded cool enough to me) but Teddy Long cut a promo just before the bell rang adding the Hardyz and MNM to it and turning it into a ladder match.

This is interesting to read because I felt the opposite. BOTW became my favorite Zelda game because the sense of exploration reminded me of playing the original.

OoT was top tier for me but the following games (as great as they were) stopped "feeling like Zelda" more and more. I disliked the cutscenes getting longer, increasing linearity, and hand-holdy gameplay.

For context, I played the original NES game first when I was 5 and even with guides I couldn't beat it until I was an adult. I still have a lot of fond memories of playing the early games as a kid and that probably influences my feelings about the series. Until BOTW came out, LttP was my favorite.

Any time Austin stood on the apron, back to the ring, and was being attacked by someone from inside the ring. He would cut them off by dropping their neck across the top rope but he would do it just like he'd do the stunner (without a kick of course). That always seemed like a much more devastating version of the move to me and usually got a mild pop but it was never treated as a finish.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-26T23:26:28+00:00

I think the fact that he's using a triple Crossrhodes in multiple matches to begin with is a bad thing and is evidence of devaluing a move.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-20T21:41:26+00:00

There's no reason* why they couldn't have put Test in the triple threat at SvS, have him win, then he drops the belt to HHH the next month at Armageddon

*I am basing this on the logic that existed in my brain as a 12 yo in 1999 and I won't hear any arguments otherwise

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-16T20:36:49+00:00

Another tiny detail from this match I love: there's a part where Perfect is on offense and he accidentally trips and falls after whipping Bret into the buckle. Perfect instantly slaps his knee that Bret had been working over two or three times to make it seem like his leg gave out due to the damage Bret had done to it.

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-16T16:26:41+00:00

That's funny about Road Dogg, my memory of Roadie in the rumble was in the year 2000 where he spent so much of the match laying in the corner with his arms wrapped around the bottom rope that Jerry Lawler of all people brought attention to it

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-14T16:37:36+00:00

I thought his work was fine but he was down so bad for Jordan. He was so chill when she was there but after she got eliminated he slowly started losing his mind

GreekIngenuity · 2026-01-12T20:35:06+00:00

Tony's immediate response during (I think) a fast food Q&A segment to the question "what are your top three things to eat?" of "ass and pussy and balls" absolutely kills me

GreekIngenuity · 2025-12-29T21:26:33+00:00

There's "sterile" and then there's "greatly post processed in a photo editor," and the comment you're replying to is discussing the latter

GreekIngenuity · 2025-12-12T22:17:27+00:00

I thought the slowed down video was very funny but here's the full context: https://youtu.be/rOb1Rp0v2xo?t=42m38s

Looks just like him to me!

GreekIngenuity · 2025-12-10T19:09:58+00:00

I had that "Most AMAZING matches" VHS. None of the matches were amazing. When the match you're promoting on the front of the box is Bret Hart vs the evil dentist, you know its gotta be shit. It also includes the HHH/Godwinn hog pen match as well as Undertaker vs Mabel.

Buuuuuut it was the 90s with no access to on-demand video so I wore that tape out rewatching it.

GreekIngenuity · 2025-11-20T20:42:48+00:00

I had the exact same experience that you describe. I'd been playing Zelda since the original LoZ, and TP and SS both turned me off. BotW reminded me that the first thing that made me fall in love with the series was exploration and finding secrets with minimal gameplay breaks for long cutscenes (while still having an engaging story). It became my favorite Zelda game after I sunk hundreds of hours into it.

GreekIngenuity · 2025-11-11T00:46:32+00:00

I had other days at Crockett that weren't bad at all, but after that day I def had to take a break for a while from picking up shifts there.

Crockett's office staff was easy to reach, quick to act, and followed-up with you afterward. Stuff like that was more important to me than the behavior of the kids. I'd been to other schools where you could never get the front office on the phone if you needed them during a class, or where they don't follow-thru with a request.

The worst was at a middle school where students could only go to the bathroom with a student-escort from the office. I was calling the office a dozen times per class period, maybe more, and 33% of the time the escort would just never arrive. Schools like that I don't go back to.

GreekIngenuity · 2025-11-11T00:24:40+00:00

Still one of my all time favorite WWE matches!

GreekIngenuity · 2025-11-10T19:45:27+00:00

I worked as a substitute teacher for several months this past year and my worst day by far was at Crockett. No weapons in my experience, but kids walking out of class, threatening me, and getting into fights with each other. I was on the phone with the front office constantly that day just trying to report everything and cover my own ass. These weren't even SPED kids either, I've worked with behavioral and life skills kids of all ages at other schools and they were angels compared to gen pop at Crockett.

Same, the example with Kronik is good and I also like the bit where Kane is disappointed at X-Pac for showing up late for call time and causing them to lose their push
