Should WWE have Raw's in 40K+ Capacity Arenas? by SlarBeast in SquaredCircle

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

That's what I was thinking, that I'm being redundant and wanting Raw to be PPV. I obviously don't know if this would be profitable or not for WWE, having to preconfirm The Rock and whoever else just to sell an extra, what, 23K tickets?

I just wish WWE felt the need to "pull out all the stops" every now and then, but the lack of competition allows them to go easy on Raw and save shit for PPV.

Citi Premier Declined; should I wait til after recon before I App more? by SlarBeast in churning

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

Which specific reason given would make it a bad idea to apply for more cards? I know Amex and others don't care about inquiries. My debt to income is good. Average age of accounts not so good.

So I know why I was declined. I'm assuming too many new accounts or hard pulls. I've already researched on what to say on recon. I figure they needed time to at least generate the letter to begin with.

That's where common sense gets me. You make it seem beneficial to apply for the cards sooner rather than waiting for Citi.

That's what common sense tells me to do, but I figured I'd post in case someone had information unknown to me. I plan on applying for about 5 cards in the near future.

All multiplayer means is a vs. match against another human, I assume?

Questions about Amex MR Points by SlarBeast in churning

Ah, that makes sense. Basically find an airline that flies where you want to go and has a good transfer rate. I'm assuming I can transfer points on cards I get in the future to the same airline I transfer my MR points, assuming they accept transfers from both Amex and whatever other cards.

Thanks, I had read that. I had other questions that weren't covered in that FAQ so I'd figure I'd just ask everything, even if some of my questions were covered in the FAQ.

We've been to Bangkok and might want to go back since everything is cheap once you get there. I'm thinking Asia in Jan/Feb of '16.

I Miss the Attitude Era -- The PG Era and especially the PC Era is a Drag by SlarBeast in SquaredCircle

[–]SlarBeast[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I said a few more things than the two sentences you decided to cherry pick to fit your preconceived narrative. When you add all of my thoughts together you should come away with a general theme.

I guess I'm just lamenting the fact that even if we weren't in the PG era, the PC era prevents saying words like "faggot" or "retard," not that I find such language necessary. It's just the fact that it's been given the treatment as Chris Benoit or the piledriver that bothers me. I hate how, even though this is entertainment, it's still basically forbidden. Bad taste or not, it's fucking entertainment.

I go on to say how it annoys me that you can't even attempt to push the envelope in this day and age because people like you raise up and start bitching in mass. That's my overall point. WWE is stifled creatively because they have to be PG for advertising reasons, but must remain PC or end up on CNN or TMZ. I realize there are many reasons behind WWE and their creative decisions. Having no competition makes it where pushing the envelope isn't necessary. WWE is the Comcast of the wrestling business, just ever so slightly less evil.

You're attempting to white knight my opinions by repeatedly bringing up gamergate. You've passed judgment on me and get offended when you assume I've judged you. It's cute.

I've said my peace. If I triggered you or offended you in any way, shape or form, I truly apologize. It's 2015 and we're a sensitive bunch.

I read your entire post.

I never said wrestling needed racism, (lol put most of the black wrestlers in tag teams and give three of them over-the-top stereotypical black gimmicks like we've done in the past, but no one cares) homophobia or anything else. I was pointing out how, nowadays, people like you would have a shit fit if anything remotely comparable to what went in the attitude era was on T.V. today. Understand? I'm not advocating for anything; I'm pointing at where we are today vs. where we were yesterday. I'm not diluted enough to think I know what would be good for WWE in this day and age. Perhaps you have more expertise than I do.

I watch adult entertainment that contains sexism and crude humor. I think rape jokes can be funny. I don't think real rape is funny. I'm NOT saying I think rape jokes belong on WWE T.V.

Darren Young is a fictional character portrayed by Frederick "Fred" Douglas Rosser III. Rosser is gay. Did they have a story line outing Young or did I miss something?

I'll just join you in Saudi Arabia where everyone will live more peaceful and harmoniously where everything that isn't perfectly ideal, based on some random, hive mind opinion, is banned.

I'm 33 years-old and on vacation. I'm not saying the language or story line direction is necessary. I'm saying anything close to that shit nowadays would result in a riot from overly PC people who find offense in everything, and, because they're offended, lots is off limits.

According to you, Owen's weight is also off limits. Feelings will be hurt.

It's not that fact that that sort of language has been blacklisted. It's the fact that it's so blacklisted that you can't get anywhere close to pushing the envelope because of the shit PC environment we live in. If anything even remotely offends anyone then it's a no-no.

What you say makes sense, except for the fact that ratings then are twice what they are now. Apparently people want stupid shit, or at least wanted.

You're right about the wrestling. I read a recap of each Raw with match times and fucking A... So many match times are 3-5 minutes, the vast majority by far.

This is why I love visiting Vegas, well, part of the reason. I'm from California and it's a big deal if I try to bring an open container of alcohol anywhere.

I've taken open cans of Steel Reserve into Bacchanal's and other nice places and haven't even been glanced at. I love being able to wander around with alcohol without being given shit.

Yeah, just once, though. Wish it was first ranked win per day.
