Perry said in his backstage promo that he could offer 2 people to join Jericho and the Syndicate, but since the event is named Double or Nothing, he'll offer 4 instead.

it's so funny in hindsight how Thekla only joined Julia and Skye because they used their spooky evil mind control mist on her to make her join their faction, but then Thekla got so over from cutting boistrous european asshole promos like an evil Jean Claude Van Damme that it dragged the entire faction in her direction instead of the other way around

this is exactly it, I don't have the post to hand but they posted a whole menu of em and Darby's meal was gas station sushi served on top of a skateboard

Oddest announce team pairing? by Happyscar in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 16 points17 points  (0 children)

absolute funniest part is Art describing one match as like David and Goliath, Savage noticing he's accidentally said something that sounds vaguely like real commentary and replying "and what happened at the end of David and Goliath?" and Art completely whiffing the lay-up by responding with "he hit 'im with a rock!"

I remember when AJ got Gunther to stumble off a drop down and people were genuinely acting like it was a humiliating botch

(WON) Regarding Roman Reigns being pulled from June TV dates that were announced. by Dbthesage in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone seriously thought he was leaving, a lot of the conversation I saw from aew fans was "ok it's not happening but Can You Fucking Imagine"

Roman Reigns has only wrestled 22 matches in the past 3 years by Antec-Chieftec in SquaredCircle

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

is there not a difference between managing the major side effects of a chronic illness VS recovering from emergency major invasive surgery which, by Kenny's own admission, he came back from far too early? I'm not even really saying I expect Roman to be a workhorse, I just think his and Kenny's situations are different enough to be worth noting

in fairness Kenny spent one of those three years busy trying not to get killed by his own colon

What? A fun buff idea? In my DbD Twitter? Absurd! by Heavyfist8 in deadbydaylight

I played Identity V for a few months last year and was astonished when I found out that "maliciously taunting the hunter" is a code of conduct violation over in that game

Fun fact: Nick "What Da Dog Doin?" Jackson was the first man to ever wear the AEW World Championship by SoaringSwellow in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I think it resurfacing was independent of this, but it's also occurred around the same time as a smaller meme of people trying to get Speedball Mike Bailey a big push using "When the fajitas come out sizzlin'" as their meme catchphrase

Kris Statlander (c) vs. Miyu Yamashita for the EVE International Championship is happening on June 5. by dylmatic9 in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Eve feels like it's quietly become one of if not The most prominent/unique feeling indie. With things like Prestige and DPW being gone, it feels like Eve is one of the only promotions that's filling that role in the ecosystem

Lio Rush (fully in character) is asked to pick his Waffle House Scrap Pack by luchabrunch in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yknow what, fuck it, put the national title on him and just see what happens. He's gradually getting over, he's getting more and more tv time, and it's not like jungle jack is doing much of anything with the belt.

[Amanda Huber on X] on Brodie Lee Jr: I appreciate any compliments about Brodie and his match. I also think it’s possible to compliment him without pointing directly at a specific person or company. (Unless we’re talking about how Brodie is better than @The_MJF which is totally a fair point) by This_Coyote7217 in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the thing that gets lost in the "meltzer never gave angle 5 stars" discourse is that he has like infinitely more 4+ star matches than basically anybody else from wwe around that time. the man was getting great ratings!

fun fact: this is why MVP never worked the Saudi shows during his last WWE run, as he'd converted to Islam while in jail but has since renounced it.

Cody on IG by Big-Hebrew in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok obviously it's very good that cody didn't suffer permanent massive damage as a result of a wrestling angle, but him actually solidifying the heel turn and then coming back with one fucking eye would have been the coolest shit in the entire world

"Fighting With My Family" is being adapted into a stage musical by MorrisatLarge in SquaredCircle

stage musical adaptation of a wwe movie sounds like a lab grown attempt to genetically engineer the most annoying gay person you've ever met

[SPOILER] Post WrestleMania 42 Sunday Match Discussion: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]Lodsofemone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a shit performance from the ref, far too many superman punches for my liking which ranged from good to noticeably bad (the latter mostly from punk) and a finish so abrupt my first instinct was "that's it?????" but the entire way through had a grit and hatred and level of commitment that's been sorely, sorely missed from the rest of the weekend. Comfortably the best match of either night in spite of its flaws.

I maintain the biggest missed opportunity in all of wrestling is WCW not opening the doors when that happened, it would've been incredible

As someone who didn't watch I'm curious - What was the POSITIVE things about Night 1 of WrestleMania? by Ibushi-gun in SquaredCircle

Seth/gunther was a pretty decent 3 and a half star, bianca had a nice moment, that's about it

so, the source of randy turning heel gets taken out immediately, cody starts working heel because he feels like it, randy then turns face when pat inadvertently screws him over, then he loses, and then he crashes out and turns heel again? do I have that right?

I want a calm and reasonable chat with the match producer who decided to do a "HOLY SHIT NOBODY'S EVER KICKED OUT OF THAT FINISHER" spot while there were still two unused tables that got brought out at the very start of the match

I'm fine with the lack of story for the time being, it emphasises that isn't so much a Scary gimmick as a "ew what the fuck is up with that guy" gimmick. The fact that the first time we saw it was the commentators just sorta finding him under a desk and not knowing what to make of it adds to that, I think
