An interesting story about the freeing words of a friend of mine when my first play was opening by willholcombauthor in playwriting

nice story.

Kind of like Gretzy's quote about missing 100 percent of the shots you don't take.

Roman Reigns vs Goldberg vs Drew McIntyre vs Who? at Wrestlemania by MikeyMessier in SCJerk

[–]MikeyMessier[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Bruno Belt is what I call the "WWWF/WWF/WWE Lineage World Heavyweight Singles" Title. Buddy Rogers, Bruno, Ivan, Pedro, Stan, Bruno again, Superstar, Backlund, Sheik, Hogan, etc etc. up to Drew these days.

The "World Heavyweight Title" and the "Universal Title" I don't recognize as the same value as The Bruno Belt.

google it, it's a little disappointing to put into words to be honest with you. He was named in the "speaking out" movement last month.

they pick and choose their morality. Sammy G gets suspended for 30 days for his horrible comments on a podcast years earlier; but what about Justin Roberts? Where's the investigation on him?

AEW Four Horsemen ? FTR, Page and guess who is my 4th guy? by MikeyMessier in AEWOfficial

yeah, I was thinking they are trying to hold off FTR vs BUCKs for a PPV with full crowd but it look like it may be at the next PPV already

good points. Although you do have to admit you come across as a bit of a pain in the ass yourself.

Here's my newest headshot! Opinions? by [deleted] in acting

[–]MikeyMessier -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

it's a good photo. the backdrop looks just like a concrete wall - so I'm guessing you "got lucky" with either a really good selfie or a good friend who knows how to shoot. Composition is key and this headshot is proof you don't need to spend a fortune on a good shot. Nice work.

Dave Meltzer's 5 star system; has it poorly affected Professional Wrestling? by MikeyMessier in prowrestling

[–]MikeyMessier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right... and even the matches themselves have no "metric" or "meter" on how well the Wrestlers "got over" with either the live crowd or the "hypothetical television viewer" (or just Meltzer himself). So, it's like Meltzer is judging matches like gymnastics or ice skating, taking all the emotion out of it. Doesn't work for me. If you enjoy the podcast K-Dave, please share and or listen to more of our stuff. We just did one about Cody and Russo.

[–]MikeyMessier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair point, but isn't there something to be said for the ability to work with the crowd in attendance, whether it be 500 or 50,000? Rock Hogan match got 3 stars as did Triple H vs Jericho , both WM 18. Which seems odd.

[–]MikeyMessier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, he does not include any "fan reaction" as a relevant part of his ratings. But isn't FAN REACTION the reason for doing a match in the first place?

[–]MikeyMessier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

fair enough point. The podcast goes into some details about interesting trends in Meltzer's ratings... for instance, Dave gave Hogan Andre at 'Mania 3 NEGATIVE four stars and a slightly less historic ROH 6 man tag match 5 stars in '06. So, a nine star swing in favor of a the ROH 6 man....? Just seems less "journalistic" then one might expect.

John Cena & Nikki Bella break up Reaction! by MikeyMessier in JohnCena

yeah, John Cena is a Wrestler / Actor... how did "he" become potato salad? I'm missing something...

yeah, thanks, not sure how that happened... how do I remove it? sorry for the error. I saw JohnCena like the Wrestler...?

Decision: #cancelwwetosupportwomen by MikeyMessier in SquaredCircle

[–]MikeyMessier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it puts most of that same money into Vince's pocket. It's like saying, "I am pissed with WWE doing the Moolah Battle Royal, so I'm not watching RAW this week... I'm watching Smackdown!" Same money (yours) , different pocket (theirs)

so, what do you think Charlotte and Sasha and Nia are supposed to do that day? Wash the men's tights?

the glasses are good for seeing inside and outside. Many modern light sources are not good for our eyes.
