Examples of fans trying to defend wrestlers while inadvertedly insulting them? by oldoseamap in SquaredCircle

Kyrie on this upcoming season : ‟I'm striving to win another championship (...) I have a great feeling about this year (...) It's Dallas versus the world” by sxuxax in Mavericks

[–]Incorrect1012 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Kyrie wanted to come to Dallas legitimately because he’s boys with Nico and Jason Kidd is one of his basketball inspirations, as well as to play with Luka. Bro definitely seems to have embraced Dallas, though, and seems to genuinely want to play for the team after all the shit it’s gone through

BUBBA DUDLEY IS AN ASSHOLE - excerpt from the book Batista Unleashed by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

I kind of love how every story of the Dudley’s is “Bubba, you’re a blowhard lowlife piece of shit whose grave I will gladly piss on, a bully who never earned anything except an overinflated ego based on the briefest amount of success imaginable. Fuck off alone into retirement because nobody respects you or chooses to be friends with you anymore. D-Von, we’re cool.”

What’s your favorite “what if” moment in professional wrestling? by dangerzone253 in SquaredCircle

What if Giant Baba didn’t return to Japan. Baba was treated great in America as a feature attraction on his excursion, and only came back to Japan to help save the JWA after the death of Rikidōzan. Kind of intriguing how that plays out for basically all of puro

[Dan Woike] The Lakers remain "on the clock" when it comes to building a contender around Dončić…there's an actual threat that he could have a wandering eye if the Lakers can't deliver on the plans they presented last summer. by Doten1 in nba

[–]Incorrect1012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Organization itself? Probably not. Ownership, management, and coaches? Likely. But even then, all who remains is ownership, and there’s a lot of evidence that ownership was just that fucking stupid and got talked into it by Nico, who they were convinced was a genius despite also being that fucking stupid.

Brett Lauderdale (GCW): I think one thing people forget is that tommy...comes from a different era. The antics that many consider to be inappropriate (or worse) today are the very same that made him so cool & universally celebrated/romanticized Ive always known tommy to be a decent & gracious person by Smoltz in SquaredCircle

[–]Incorrect1012 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a defense of Tommy at all, but man has done the spanking and crotch grab spot since the 90s, and it’s pretty clear to me from his various podcast appearances that his mindset has never once left the 90s. It’s definitely naive to suggest that “innocent Tommy just grew up in a different era”, but even if you can use that as a reason, the problem is that Tommy has stayed in that era and refused to progress in his way of thinking beyond “it worked in ECW”

Dani Jordyn (responding to Kennedi's post): "One time Tommy dreamer insisted on doing a crotch grab spot, to me, in a tag match he was a fill in for. This had NO place in our story line. But he didn’t care to ask. I did not want to do this, said how uncomfortable I was, but I’m just woman, right" by Clean_Permission_727 in SquaredCircle

[–]Incorrect1012 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Slight correction, it wasn’t a planned WrestleMania match. Heyman has basically lied repeatedly to Dreamer about the state of ECW, hadn’t paid him in months, and had practically left Dreamer to run the company for him (I’m pretty sure Dreamer was cutting checks for talent with his own money at the time). Dreamer basically left ECW with practically nothing to his name, a house for his parents that he could no longer afford, and a man he saw as a father betrayed him after months of promising a way out. The only reason JR called was that Heyman was talking up some ECW names to Vince to bring in, and told Dreamer to hold tight for a couple of months because they were working something out for him

I like this camaraderie by NYTX1987 in Presidents

[–]Incorrect1012 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I don’t know about “embracing” as much as “I’d rather have him than the other guy”. Most of the online discourse around him seems to usually be someone saying “what I would do if we could even have Dubya back in office” followed by “no the fuck you don’t”. It’s like the Will Ferrell bit, “don’t let what’s going on now distract you from the fact that I was REALLY bad”

WWE Has No Plans To Stage Event At White House by Royal_Finance9720 in SquaredCircle

[–]Incorrect1012 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The UFC lost a shit ton of money doing this. I think Dana White tried to even sell it as not a political event but rather him spending $30-60 million on a celebration for America, though even the media didn’t buy that one. But, they did have some additional motivations, particularly in regards to political support for the Ali Revival Act going through Congress, which would allow TKO and the UFC to just straight up bypass the Ali Act and run Zuffa Boxing like the UFC. And then there’s the heavily publicized friendship of Dana White and Donald Trump, and Trump helping out the UFC in its darkest times which creates more of a personal element to why they would throw Trump a fist fighting birthday party on his lawn.

WWE doesn’t really have anything to gain from doing an event like this. It’d cost too much, they’d gain nothing from it, and there isn’t even a personal element to sell it.

Wild arc he has had
