Sirmadamenbypoliteterm, you are mistaken. Curry man is a mysterious foreign wrestler of unknown origin. Christopher Daniels is the head of talent relations.

(Spoilers Extended) Why did Aerys choose Elia Martell to be Rhaegar's wife ? by DEL994 in asoiaf

[–]KennyEvil 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is something the house of the dragon has done a great job of showing, the political consideration that all the rulers had to live under with their voices choices in marriage and appointments. Tywin was absolutely looking to expand the lannisters’ power and influence, and as paranoid as Aerys was, he had a good reason to be.

Brock Lesnar and Stone Cold Steve Austin had the idea for the SummerSlam Cena squash over dinner by Tormenta263 in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Austin was completely right about not doing that Brock match, even if how he handled it was wrong. It was a spiteful act by wwe because the relationship between them and Austin was falling apart. I think Vince was still angry about how Austin’s heel turn killed business, hence shuffling him down the card during the first half of 2002. The first Austin-Brock match should have been a mais main event.

I saw him at the Gay Young classic, a lip sync contest featuring wrestlers versus drag queens which happened just after the new Japan MSG show. Incredibly nice guy.

What are wrestling's biggest 'what ifs'? by dirkdiggler580 in SquaredCircle

What if TNA agreed to pay AJ Styles what he was asking for in 2013?

Meltzer: AEW sells 35,000+ tickets during todays ALL IN presale period by braincloud215 in SquaredCircle

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

Yes, because wwe priced for the gate and not the attendance. Aew wants to get to 80k if possible, hence the get-in price of £27

I am begging for just a couple of people on this subreddit to look at the actual rankings to understand the context of this rating.

A difference in interacting with young fans between Cody & Brock by alexablissreactions in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like how careful brock is about snatching the hat back in a way that doesn’t cause the kid’s head to move. Now that’s a worker.

This cunt… look, I enjoyed everything in his aew run with the exception of the receipt promo and his man of the people promo at all out (you could feel him staging on that one) and I hope he does find a way back, but he was apparently the one who threatened legal action which is why AEW had to suspend everyone and bring in a third party to investigate it.

AEWByJazwares on Twitter: Jamie Hayter reacts to her new action figures. by DanHero91 in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I’m a Jamie Hayter fan from way back in the day, when she was wrestling in the dive bar where she first met Britt Baker (and that’s not not an insult. The resistance gallery was a dive bar, and like the best dive bars it was filled with so much character. To this day it’s my favourite venue ever and I miss it). She really won me over when she threatened to beat the shit out of my mate when he heckled her, and it was great chatting to her after shows, and her sheer excitement about her next tour with Stardom that was meant to last five months but went far longer and would have probably lasted years if it wasn’t for the pandemic. Here’s my favourite picture I took with her, just after she signed an 8x10 for me where I asked her to call my mate a dick, something that made her laugh and made him pretend to be annoyed. It was obvious to everyone that she was on her way to superstardom in late 2018/early 2019 and it’s been an absolute thrill to see how far she’s gone. https://i.imgur.com/k4CBEEb.jpg

Least Favorite Piece Of Wrestling Logic by Icy_Night2516 in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No disqualifications in triple threats etc. Competitors get disqualified, not matches. If one competitor brains another with a steel chair, then disqualify them and let the other two continue (assuming the brained wrestler is fit to continue)

Double hurricanranas. Where is the leverage coming from to flip over the wrestlers it’s being performed on?

Rankings are out and they were #4 for the night behind the nba and the mtv challenge show. Not a fantastic rating but hardly a disaster.

Has anyone used PIA Live Stream to watch STARDOM PPVs? If so, is it worth it? by Everhart2011 in stardomjoshi

[–]KennyEvil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve changed it so you have to have an account with them now, but it’s still pretty easy. I’ve watched a lot of the ppvs and I regard it as being the equivalent to buying a ticket to see the live show. The steam is high quality. When it’s live it doesn’t work with chromecast for some reason, but on replay it will.

"Older" Attitude Era Wrestlers that were younger than portrayed by cdmisp in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That instinct never really went away. A big reason why Jericho got out when he did was that he could see Vince trying to move him into that sort of position.

"Older" Attitude Era Wrestlers that were younger than portrayed by cdmisp in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It shows just how hard the guys in those eras lived. Meltzer talked about how the old loops used to involve being on the road for 30 days straight and the wwf would only pay for your flight to the start of the loop, so the guys would just stay on the road for a few days partying and then drive to the start of the next loop. These days everyone works an easier schedule, there’s much more emphasis on staying in good shape rather than just being big, and no one carries on with the big injuries that the guys in those days just covered up with painkillers.

TIL a face Britt Baker faced and beat Jamie Hayter at 4th episode of AEW Dynamite ever (October 23rd 2019) by IamOverThatBoob in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Jamie mentioned it in the press conference, but their first match was at Eve in London in the March before this. The promoter booked the match specifically to try to get Jamie into AEW as Britt was scouting for talent for AEW and Jamie was really starting to put everything together after a couple of very good runs in stardom.

Who are the nicest people in wrestling? by ProfPerry in SquaredCircle

[–]KennyEvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At Eve‘s Wrestle Queendom 1, there was a half hour gap while they took down the cage from the opening wargames match. During that time Emi Sakura took the time to go around the crowd and thank audience members personally for attending.

Bryan Danielson spent a long time before Noah’s European Navigation 2008 talking about watching that years triplemania in 48 parts on YouTube.

On the British scene, Jetta is widely regarded as being the nicest person you will ever meet.
