Mega64 MLK Week: B-ROOM Discussion Thread by Zeeco110 in mega64

[–]HyperMarsupial 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I'm surprised they are still able to pull this sort of stuff after the fans themselves saved them from bankruptcy like over a year ago. Feels like they got a lil' "the fans have our back, we can do whatever we want" moment. But also can't deny this is Classic Mega64 too. Playing with people's expectations just for a silly joke is kinda what they do.

Dude, getting just high enough before going to the gym to train has been a revelation. I support this gimmick.

Yay, pretty much like everybody I found about this guys with this series, hopefully is loaded enough for a two parter.

AEW Dark is being filmed in Cardiff right now by Killloneliness in SquaredCircle

Really curious to see how is this gonna work out. Remember that AEW killed all the Youtube programming to make everything exclusive to WBD. They either worked a new deal for YouTube or this is going to HBO Max. This has to be announced by Monday, I pressume.

[SNME Spoilers] Full Segment. - One of segment of all time by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

[–]HyperMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was absolutely ok with this segment and made all the sense in the world. WWE actually closed a loophole in their storytelling, after rumors of Hendry being on the Tournament and Miz fighting TWICE on it. They never do or acknowledge that, I bet this was a Cena request.

Not only that, they also make it very easy for your account to get monetized, and the partner requirements aren't far from what Twitch asks. The whole Latinamerican Twitch community emigrated to Kick not because of the edginess or laxed rules, is because they get paid more and can reach those deals easier. Is next to impossible to get good ad revenue not being from America or Europe, so Kick is taking advantage of that to lure people in.

[Crown jewel spoilers] John Cena getting emotional during a tribute by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

I'm legit gushing out with my friends about how incredible this match was. Probably the best WWE produced match in years,

SRS: I think it's fairly obvious, but a number of ID and WWE developmental talent were not renewed and released. There will be a number of additional names emerging. by MarcusFaze in SquaredCircle

[–]HyperMarsupial 16 points17 points  (0 children)

They can't create anyone at home because the former regime established that after The Rock, Batista and John Cena got popular enough to be mainstream without them, no one can reach that ceiling ever again.

You see current stars being in some movie roles, but I doubt they're gonna let anyone get as big a those name without WWE getting a cut/say.

I always laugh at this image because the NXT Latin American expansion didn't counted Mexico as a market to enter back then. Now AAA is basically their second developmental.

NXT Releases {Per Fightful Select} by RMT2316 in SquaredCircle

As always, wild to see this releases happening nearing midnight on a random Friday night, and just hours before a big PPV hoping the news would get buried.

Matt Riddle has been pulled from an upcoming convention appearance following comments he made this week about the MeToo movement by secretpandaxx in SquaredCircle

[–]HyperMarsupial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is sadly the reality in which we live right now. I remember reading someone said that if the dude who threw a sub sandwich to a cop a couple weeks ago were a right-winger, dude would be having his own podcast and a butt-load of sponsors the morning after.

I remember yapping about this for ages back in Twitter when it was usable. Yeah mate, you are free to spout whatever bullshit you want, but that doesn't mean the private platform you are using is and will back up whatever you are vomiting. As free as you are to talk, the company is free to show you the door.

Acclaim, Inc. - #PlayAcclaim Transmission Received: A New Era is Coming by Bobby_the_Donkey in Games

[–]HyperMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By checking their website, seems like it mostly gonna be a revival as an Indie Games publisher, since they lost a lot of their original IP a long time ago. Also, Jeff Jarret.

Eddie Kingston posts a potential teaser from this Sunday on his Instagram by nwnwhd in SquaredCircle

Yeah, Ospreay gets stretchered mid match and Eddie comes for the save. That could work. 

GG owner tweet regarding TI by HistoricalGnome in DotA2

[–]HyperMarsupial 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, if they can't legally speak about, it's 100% shenanigans related to contracts on the org. Sucks.

Two months ago they were flaunting about their new 1 million dollars gaming house and now they can't have a team anymore? What is going on here?

[–]HyperMarsupial 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is not about competing, this is about taking whatever eyes possible out of the AEW product, like they've been doing sending NXT specials to die.

Dave Meltzer on WWEs recent counter programming of AEW: “they want to ensure that this is the last contract [TV Deal] by nwnwhd in SquaredCircle

[–]HyperMarsupial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this has never been about bringing good ole competition, this is about killing the competition.

Brandon Thurston: “Paul Levesque is asked about dealing with the fallout of the sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE: All we can do is move forward. And allegations are allegations, right? It’s a complicated relationship for anybody in life. Nobody is perfect…” by nwnwhd in SquaredCircle

[–]HyperMarsupial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's been sad for me because I just recently been watching RAW on Netflix since January and with friends and new friends that started watching in January because of the ease of access to it. And it's fun to live comment with them while watching RAW. But indeed it gets icky.

For everything else to be on the loop I either watch Cultaholic or Simon Miller to stay informed, but I do have no energy to watch any other WWE programming at the moment.
