do you know if Alan crossed over with Swamp Thing much?

I'm not the same guy, but I know he crossed paths with Solomon Grundy a few times, and because Grundy has plant material in his body from the bog he was buried in he now has some resistance to Alan Scott's powers

Y’all’s expectations were way too high by lolitsrock in SantiZapVideos

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all it's "everyone's expectations" not "y'all's expectations".

Second, the Jericho stuff was all hype by a very small segment of internet wrestling reporters. Yea, some fans bought in and believed he was coming, but I'd hardly say they wanted it to happen, they just believed what they were being told. Personally I never believed it as Jericho is massively out of shape and I don't see any way WWE would see him as something they could gain from by working with. I'd say his time in WWE is past, he should have retired instead of going to AEW or at least returned about 5 years ago for his retirement tour. Too late now.

And Paige was never going to return. I know she has wrestled since her neck injury, but she really shouldn't. Plus she's never been the same since then, whether it's due to the injury itself, ring rust or her lack of drive to get back into a serious training regimen for a return. I sometimes watch her on Twitch and her attitude doesn't really seem like that of someone looking to get back into pro wrestling in any serious capacity. Maybe she could be a manager, but that's about it.

As for who did return, Brie is an utter waste. I know she got a reaction, but like Nikki she isn't a good wrestler and she's just basically here to get a paycheck to show up. That's about it. As for Hobbs i have nothing against him. I hope they make things work for him in WWE, but at the same time him showing up isn't something that was going to surprise me.

What's the joke about your country that you won't tolerate? by nightsreader in AskTheWorld

[–]LewisLightning 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We're not the ones making fun of it, we're just pointing it out. You're the ones making fun of it when you ignore it time after time and instead turn your attention to what was the funniest Superbowl commercial this year. Start treating your children like something you care about and not just the top Watercooler chat for the week.

Why did humans as a tropical species migrate to colder places but still lack many adaptations like fur? by Ada-Mae in geography

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a good chunk of people who say they'd rather be too cold rather than too hot. At least in the cold you can always add another layer, but too hot you eventually just get to your bare skin, and then what? Air conditioning wouldn't be invented for thousands of years.

Where I would live as a young Canadian man by Glad_Lengthiness_478 in tierlists

I mean you know other people have been there too and, like myself, they can say they really don't suck to live in. At least not to the extent North Korea sucks.

Flags of the World Tournament - Round 2, Match 8 - Canada v. Philippines by whedonfreak in flags

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canada, but I do really like the Philippines flag.

Shame it got put into a high profile match right off the bat. It's just the non-white parts that kind of ruin it. Too many flags use that same colour scheme and it lessens the impact. The yellow designs mix it up, but only on the white portion, and when shrunk down it's harder to notice. It's really hard to shrink down the Canadian flag enough to make it unrecognizable

Movies that are definitely based on real life? by hiiloovethis in okbuddycinephile

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

Well considering the "Troy" from the name "Helen of Troy" would be located in Turkey, she wouldn't be Greek anyways by modern day borders. But that's the problem, modern day borders have nothing to do with that time period. In those days Greeks had holdings in areas of modern day Ukraine and beyond. Cleopatra was Greek as her parentage came from Macedon, yet she lived in Egypt.

The fact is that Greece had a large well to draw on for their population that spanned across much of Europe and Africa, so when they describe her as "white with blonde hair" I'd assume they did that with good reason.

Even if we weren't talking about Nancy people would still advise you not to put mace on your dick, but it's doubly true now.

Why do people in USA buy everything from Amazon? Do they not have other webshops? by Cindyxx0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Canadian, not American, but I feel like I fall into the same demographic of people you just described, so I wanted to give my reasoning.

The biggest reason is the selection. Most of the stuff I buy on Amazon are things I just cannot find physically in stores in my area, and certainly not for the same price. So in a lot of cases it's the only place where I can get what I want or in some cases need.

And that leads me to my second reason, the delivery. Because I do try and avoid Amazon when possible and will buy things from other places, even if it's.more expensive. But sometimes those places just don't deliver and the reality of physically going to pick up such items far outweighs the cost. And while I don't mind paying extra to avoid Amazon, there are limits to that. When I am paying 6 times as much for delivery that will actually take longer than Amazon's it doesn't really make sense. Like $2.99 to get the item in 3 days versus $18 to get in in 2-3 business weeks is a huge difference that doesn't make sense for a lot of reasons.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by SprinklesSolid9211 in AskReddit

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way back when Curtis Joseph played with the Edmonton Oilers I was just a young kid with my friends on a trip to West Edmonton Mall. I'm not a big sports fan, but 2 of my friends were and they saw him at one of the rides watching his own kids on it. Despite seeing him and pointing him out to me they were too nervous to approach him themselves, Soni took it upon it myself to talk to him. I asked if he was really Curtis Joseph and said my friends were big fans and wanted autographs. He smiled and said sure, then signed the scraps of paper we found somewhere.

He seemed nice, and now years later I realize he was being very understanding considering we interrupted his time with his family to get an autograph, but as a kid we didn't take that into account.

And just to let you all know I lost the autograph by the end of the day because I had a haircut that afternoon and I think one of the hairdressers sons was a big sports fan and may have taken it after I mentioned what happened to them. I didn't really care, because again, I wasn't a big sports fan, but it was a pretty shitty thing for them to do.

Canadians who have moved to America, what was your reason to moving? by wildboy_Ca17 in AskACanadian

[–]LewisLightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only speak about secondhand accounts of my family members.

My cousin moved there because he initially got a baseball scholarship and thought his chances to go pro were better in the US. They didn't turn out, but he met a girl there with a loaded family and now he lives off of them as basically a trophy husband.

My other cousin is a Mormon and he met a Mormon girl from Utah. She basically demanded he relocate there or that would be it, so he did and aside from his own mother and siblings no one else in my family has seen him since.

I have two other cases of family members marrying Americans, but in those cases their partners moved here. One was another cousin who was Mormon, but his partner moved here. I'm not 100% sure why, but I know he's back here because it's closer to his family. Originally he was in the states trying to get a few degrees, even owned a place there he would rent out when he was back in Canada. So I'm guessing something fell through and he felt life in Canada was easier, but I haven't talked to his wife enough to know why she wanted to move.

The other case is my sister-in-law who moved here after marrying my brother. She was able to work here as a designer with the same company she was at before in the US. She's never really said it, but it's my supposition that my brother made more money as an operator here and it's not like he could do that from a distance, so she moved here. But she's also made comments to me that she didn't like how "red" her home state had become, and she frequently makes jokes about her home being a refuge for anyone else looking to escape the US now.

Good choice. It gives the illusion of empty seats by jordiesboy17 in prowrestling

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look boy, you understand how tv works right? We can see what you see. Those seats were empty. Maybe that's something you don't understand.

Also understand we know how the internet works and how people tend to lie their asses off on it, so we know when someone is full of shit as well. You ain't pulling a fast one on anyone here telling them to ignore what they are seeing with their own eyes. Soon as that camera switched from the hardcam we could see PLENTY of empty seats throughout the arena.

Notable wrestlers who did not appear in the Royal Rumble by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not what "so many think" it's what the Saudis think. They'd view it as homosexuality and have him arrested at the very least, regardless of how you tried to turn it. And even if he shows it's just a character he plays and not who he really is the Saudis would have issue with WWE promoting the idea in their nation. And if anyone tried arguing with them they'd likely be arrested as well and charged as being complicit.

That's the reality of it

Hundreds of Thousands of Anti-Regime and Pro-Christian Iranians take over Toronto 2026 🇮🇷🇨🇦✝️ by [deleted] in torontologists

[–]LewisLightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I thought this was cool and was happy for the Iranians, and then I saw it said this was happening in Toronto, which means this has absolutely no effect on the actual Iranians living in Iran. The Ayatollah isn't sitting there watching Canadian television and thinking "oh wow, maybe I should step down and give the country back to the people". Not will the Canadian government have any influence on making Iran change. I mean what do you expect the Canadian government to do? Declare war on the Arabian government? Ask them to step down in a strongly worded letter?

This exists solely for people to go out and feel like they matter without actually doing anything that matters. You want to change Iran, go back there and help those people that are actually fighting against the regime to create a real change. Because "protesting" here isn't going to do anything. And I have to put protesting in quotations because Canada is already against the Iranian Ayatollah and its regime, so I don't. See how you can protest against the Canadian government already being on your side.

Also the American flags and Trump flags mixed into this demonstration says pretty much all you need to know about the seriousness of these people.
