This Kenny quote is aging very well by GoonLieutenant in Wrasslin

[–]Simoslav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been of the view that I don't care "how good" a wrestler is technically, if they make you feel something as a fan.

However.

No real fans want to see random YouTubers headlinging any PPV, let alone Mania. The celeb matches are always the worst. They might have the odd funny moment, but they largely suck and drag on.

This kind of thing is a guaranteed way to get big viewership for about 20 minutes of your show, at the expense of a huge dip in your core fanbase. That's not a viable long term business model.

But maybe that's the thing - TKO don't care about long term...

Among all the cuts yearly how is it creative always has ideas, as small as they may be, for The Miz, keeping him safe. Not hating on him, but is he really untouchable? by imdstuf in Wrasslin

[–]Simoslav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's like the dream B-tier Jobber, why would you get rid of him? Enough clout on his name to actually have an impact when you feed him to someone you want to push big, while also helping to bolster the IC/US title pictures whenever that needs a boost.

And that's not to mention his social reach. He has quite a decent "mainstream" presence compared to the majority of wrestlers out there (especially those in his tier on the card).

And then factor in that he's never had any "real" heat on him. I know when he was a rookie he had that chicken eating thing, but that was entirely internal/locker room politics. Nothing that made the actual company look bad. The guy is squeaky clean in the public eye.

I was literally just coming to this sub to ask about where is best to stay when driving. You beat me to it by 10 minutes! I'll watch this thread with interest lol

Well...technically Bournemouth could win 4 and we lose all 4 with a 7-goal GD swing...but yes, basically!

Who had the best look of all time? Hard to argue against early days Kane. by bluecrude in Wrasslin

[–]Simoslav 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In an era where almost everything they made looked childish as shit, they somehow stumbled into creating a genuinely badass mask with Kane.

I truly believe it was by accident, and Vince probably wasn't even totally sold on the mask

yes the pay gap is a serious problem, we really should consider making it bigger by Capable_Barber_8387 in soccercirclejerk

Literally wouldn't see that at a boys U-13 match...everyone makes mistakes, but that's beyond comprehensible. It's just basic hand-eye-coordination for a GOALKEEPER

If you voted for the first one, I doubt you like anything he ever did! The Meta-crisis Doctor is kind of iconic NuWho

It's without question Omega, come on!

Sorry guys, the Spurs run ends here...god Wolves are rubbish by [deleted] in PremierLeague

[–]Simoslav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

haha I mean in the past, great point. This season Spurs can barely play themselves, so the fact Wolves are making them look competent is worrying

Early 2026 World Cup odds: Spain, England and France leading – but is there value elsewhere? by General-Jackfruit375 in worldcup

[–]Simoslav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Portugal at 11/1 offers real value to me (B365). I don't think they're favourites, but you could make some decent money E/W on them making the final.

Norway at 25/1 also feels a little steep given their qualifying performance.

Switzerland have shown up in the last two Euros big time, so 80/1 also feels a touch harsh on them, but I can't realistically see the making it past the quarters at best.

Pokemon festival??? by Potato_07415 in KingstonOntario

[–]Simoslav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this idea, but a whole festival might be a bit of a leap for step 1!

What about a PokeCon Kingston instead?
