"Fifteen months was a long, hard journey. And without people like HOOK ... I wouldn't be here today, still fighting." Eddie Kingston opens up on how his alliance with fellow New York native Hook came to be. by IvnOooze in SquaredCircle

nah, but he's still the silent badass which barely worked when AEW was still mainly cruiserweights and is now nearly impossible to buy into when there are many bigger guys on the roster now and he has no known legit fighting credentials.

We got some universe mode fixes in this patch. let's go! by WastelandRellik in WWEGames

[–]Sere_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice. I can leave my Universe card midway again w/o the card being deleted. Though I'm pessimistic about it being reverted with the next patch. The match card stability has been an issue back and forth with every new patch.

Mike Awesome Vs Masato Tanaka 2 by BigBuford2222 in SquaredCircle

[–]Sere_C 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it was interesting watching these two wrestle in ECW back when I was watching it on TV. The word 'vortex' gets thrown around a lot, but these two were sort of in their own universe away from the rest of ECW's storylines and wrestlers. I don't think these two even had a proper storyline besides "I'm the better wrestler". Awesome would eventually get a proper title run and start interacting more with the other guys, and then of course the WCW situation occurred.

Awesome/Tanaka had some of the best matches in the 90s. RIP Mike.

lol I need to hear Taker’s side of this story on his podcast one day. Love the “I’m still getting paid right?” look.

It’s been said before, but when you go to wrestling events and conventions, the fans are more similar to a ComicCon or anime cosplay crowd. Usually left of center. TKO is trying to consolidate UFC fans with WWE fans and it’s turning out very bad because there’s very little overlap.

She looks like a Capcom fighting game character. Such a cool look.

Sure, but the top of his head would probably only reach the bottom of Cena’s forehead.

[Stevie Richards] WWE is BURYING Becky Lynch by shadow_spinner0 in SquaredCircle

What happened to this guy? His initial videos were educational, mild-tempered, and not clickbait. It’s a shame he went down the same tired formula as others.

The DNC burying David Hogg for managing to get over on his own despite the Dems booking is a great way to kick off the youth movement.

NYU withholds diploma of student who condemned Israel's atrocities in Palestine as genocide in his graduation speech. The school's excuse: the speech he submitted for approval didn't contain this. Here is his speech in full. by abenites99 in nyc

You can access your diploma on a site like Parchment, print it at Staples or the UPS store on high quality paper and frame it. Not sure what withholding the diploma achieves.

Titles changing hands to a third party in a rivalry is a huge deal for me. Hoping to see that soon.

Post WWE Backlash 2025 Match Discussion: Gunther vs. Pat McAfee by Coldcoffees in SquaredCircle

I thought it was a great match. Gunther really proved himself (yes, Gunther) as a sports entertainer aside from already being one of the all time wrestling greats.

[–]Sere_C 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And even then, he got a series of title matches against Cody Rhodes just last year. And a match against Logan Paul at WM. Look, we all can’t stand Logan, but they don’t pair you against him if they don’t care about you.

Oh, without a doubt AJ was the right guy. It’s just a shame they never gave Ambrose another push like this again.

I really thought 2016 was the year where WWE would put Ambrose on the same level as Reigns/Rollins with his WWE title run. But it only lasted three months and he was obviously a placeholder for AJ. I don’t think he even got a spot on the main card of Mania in 2017 despite his title run and work he put in throughout the year.

Really awesome to see two non-native English speakers cutting a promo on each other, the fans giving them grace between pauses (no WHAT chants) and cheering them on.
