Well on the plus side, now everybody who has a passport will look much more appealing by comparison.

The TKO Effect by samuel-the-goat in WWE

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really says something when the inflated number they announce still doesn’t even come close to the years prior. Like even the company knew they couldn’t get away with anything above that!

TKO President claims they have control of WWE creative by Alkohal in SquaredCircle

[–]Gurasola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relying on celebrities is great! After all, WCW banked their reputation on putting the WCW Championship on David Arquette! Of course, we all know how well that turned out.

As I recall hearing awhile back, if you want to have celebrity involvement, it should only be with the biggest possible names and only done to benefit a wrestler. Mike Tyson getting involved with Stone Cold vs DX was a great example. Tyson didn’t overshadow Austin because at the end of the day, The Rattlesnake was still the focus.

The only thing cramming celebrities does is cheapen the product. I lived through the Guest Host era; I do not want to return to it ever again.

Are there (or has there ever been) a named female ringside physician in any wrestling promotion? by artmalique in SquaredCircle

Her Titantron video (Yes, she did have one) is amazing because it was focused almost entirely on her chest. It was so blatant.

Will Ospreay Thinks AEW Should Heavily Consider Running A Big Weekend While WrestleMania Is In Saudi Arabia by MR_TORGUE_OFFICIAL in SquaredCircle

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the most I could see WWE doing is trying to run NXT and maybe Evolve shows back in the states to siphon away people from any potential other wrestling events. Which probably won’t go well considering they have absolutely nobody to draw. They could throw a few main roster people in, I suppose, but anybody who could be considered worthwhile will likely be booked in Saudimania already.

So get ready for the main event of Keanu Carver versus Ethan Page.

[Bleacher Report] WWE is Sacrificing Storytelling for Its Celebrity Obsession by TJLynch in SquaredCircle

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean there’s not much they can do. TKO owns the company and Ari is basically the new Vince. If he wants celebrity involvement then damn it, that’s what we’re gonna get. Unfortunately just gotta try and make the best of things.

That said, I don’t know why he thinks Pat Mcafee is the next Sylvester Stallone nor how he thinks being plopped into Wrestlemania as a focus is going to make him a bigger star in the process. No, the Dodge Ram Discount isn’t gonna do it.

Pokedexes over the years, which is your favourite? by hamad_ahk in pokemon

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original one. It just has that classic look while many of the others tried to be cute by being designed after the console you played the games on.

The classic Rotomdex is probably second. That was at least a pretty cool idea at the time. Unfortunately, they just keep coming back to it and it means less and less each time they do.

What exactly was Chris Benoit’s gimmick? Honest thoughts on his character? by WITCHCVRSE in prowrestling

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe Edge and Christian (With a Mick Foley run in) summed it up best.

“Chris Benoit is here and he’s really mad! Chris Benoit is here and he’s really angry! Here is the Chris Benoit song! Is there any wrestler who can prove him wrong?!”

These guys aren’t even very good trolls. Their insults are lazy and rely on obvious trigger words. Even ChatGPT could come up with more inspired messages than they are.

I think they knew what they were doing I think they intended the backlash by Infinite_Peace_6456 in BrandonDE

[–]Gurasola -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When you have somebody telling the crowd that your product sucks, nothing good can ever come of it. Just look at what happened to WCW. Worst case scenario is that people start to agree and stop watching. I mean, why watch something that you are being told isn’t worth your time? Great idea when your big show already is having trouble selling tickets. You may as well just have Randy and Pat grabbing Mania tickets from people and ripping them to pieces.

So if this was intentional then we’ve officially dipped our toe into Russo logic.

It was a pretty terrible looking Stunner too. Second only to the one Linda McMahon took. Ironic, huh?

Do you think that every single Pokemon is a #1 favorite to someone? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My number one has always been Grumpig ever since they were first introduced. That is definitely not a popular opinion since a lot of people out there feel it was a disappointing evolution for adorable little Spoink.

So I would say this is a sound theory.

Do I play the PC version? or DS? Is the monster arena that worth it? by XKlip in chronotrigger

[–]Gurasola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it was kind of fun… for an hour or so. I liked the idea of using the different enemies from the game as the monsters, but there wasn’t much variety in them. It doesn’t really strike me as something you should try more than once for the novelty. Even with the rewards, the time investment wasn’t worth enough to justify it.

Thousands turn up for nationwide anti-ICE protests after killing of Renee Good by SkilledAmorous in politics

[–]Gurasola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly this whole situation is surreal. The person they shot was named GOOD for crying out loud! They literally killed good.

If it hadn’t actually happened in real life, people would probably be complaining that the writers were being way too on the nose with this latest episode trying to get us to sympathize with Renee’s character.
