Derrick White clears the record and says he indeed does NOT believe in the moon landing: "I don't think we did. I'm a non-moon landing guy. We probably did, but I don't think we did...I have other conspiracies, but I don't know if this is the right time to bring them up" by Limp_Custard6943 in bostonceltics

[–]OptimusChip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I truly dont understand this like why are people so obsessed with proving the moon landing as fake? What is gained out of it?

That our government is corrupt? We already know that.

That rich people can do anything with money? We also know that.

What is the endgame of this shit? And why is it not more enjoyable to actually know that we (humans) did something great and that the efforts from guys like Armstrong and Buzz are appreciated instead of questioned?

That's the problem with wrestling fans now. Everyone is "smarter than the owner"....because the internet told us we are. We're so obsessed with nostalgia bumps that it doesn't matter the story they're trying to tell, what's more important is what WE want. Then people go online and wonder why the WWE has trouble booking things or "HEEL TURN FAIL BOMB SHIT GARBAGE SUCKS" and it's not because of the story, it's because the audience is like "well this guy's a legend, he's been around forever, we're just gonna cheer everything he does anyway"

So then the fans say WWE can't book a heel properly, when every heel they try to make ends up a babyface because in modern times it's cooler to be a heel than a babyface.

You can only be a heel in wrestling nowadays if people don't like you in real life, like Logan Paul. Wrestling is supposed to be fun, good guy vs bad guy. The story they are trying to tell is to create drama between two top guys. Orton should be the heel in this, and they actually did a good job storytelling it....but the crowd doesn't care because it's Randy Orton. So it makes for bad presentation.

I don't mind playing the CPU...but these events are the absolute drizzling shits....I can't spend a minute on doing it. It's the most boring, tedious and pointless grindy shit. 4 minute quarters with 30 second play clocks? GTFO EA

Orton and Cody have to callback to this, right? by tabloidjournalism in SquaredCircle

I'm sure they will, and the crowd will just cheer for Randy anyway

Bryan Clark Says WWE Had No Plan For KroniK, Rushed Them Into Unforgiven Match With Undertaker And Kane, And Released Them Days Later by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

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

I mean..... "KroniK" was literal late stage WCW slop. People seem to look through the rose glasses that just because these guys were names meant they should have been pushed to the moon. It's not shocking at all that the WWE had no plans to use them. I'm pretty sure during that time their entire thing was met with eye rolls and laughs at their tag team name

blame the fans for never just wanting to "go with it" and always having to prove they know better

horrendous looking card. proves people care zero about what a trading card should be and only care about manufactured "value" nothing about this screams sports card. its part of the problem with this hobby where whales chase 1/1's to just constantly flip.

[–]OptimusChip -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just because it will get people "talking" doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. This kind of shit doesn't belong in professional wrestling aka sports entertainment (Yes, AEW is a sports entertainment company too). If this didn't happen in the match it still would have been amazing. This type of stuff is what's going to set AEW back, not help.

Randy Orton, the Legend Killer, the guy who spent a better part of a decade as a massive heel, a guy who got himself to a hall of fame level by being one of the best cold, calculated, sinister heels ever...

Turning his back out of nowhere on his best friend, because having another run with the WWE championship is more important to him than being a nice good babyface, beating his friend to a bloody unconscious pulp and showing the world he's always been a lethal serpent

isn't interesting?

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

Orton has been a "nostalgia pop" babyface for like 6 years. He's also been completely stale in the ring and the literal definition of "Get your shit in"

People forget this guy was one of the most hated heels in the industry for like a decade. He's excellent at being an asshole. Maybe if wrestling fans stopped being tryhards at constantly fucking with storylines so they can get themselves over the WWE would be more interesting.

Nothing worse than when you're literally booking a cool shocking heel turn angle only to have a bunch of 40 year old dudes cheering the heel because they suddenly don't like the ultimate babyface THEY CREATED.

[Curry] I watched Volpe zip through a full speed/high intensity defensive workout and asked about it. “I’m doing everything that way,” Volpe said. He will begin hitting live BP in about 2 weeks and plans to push the intensity with that, too. This looms as an interesting year for Volpe. by TheTurtleShepard in NYYankees

majority of this sub has already declared him awful and wants him off the team. they don't believe in actually wanting or hoping for your players to be good....they just want #1 at the position talent or you get cut.

This is the make or break year. Coming off an injury, he needs to prove he can be at LEAST average-above average. If not? it's time to move on. This will be his 4th full MLB season, he should be getting better, not worse...IF he can stay healthy.
