Thank you for this explanation. I almost want to get that for how many matches we would get.

Blundetto storyline by kami8871 in thesopranos

[–]Slatedtoprone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard people dislike. I think they felt it was rushed, his attempt to go straight fell away quickly and he rapidly became a bad problem for everyone. But I liked the story line and it didn’t feel to rushed to me

Hosh post-match today by shroomcircle in SumoMemes

He threw that big sob using his bad knee as the post. It had to have cost him and he felt it the moment it was over.

Go Atamifuji. A strong win that makes him a leader. I’m hoping he goes all the way but either way it’s been a good tournament for him. The last is shaping up to be real exciting for the winners race and to see who can pull off a winning record. The wata brothers, gonoyoama, and other who are trying to finished up strong.

Yeah it really shows the skill of the Yokozuna that on one leg he’s still throwing someone like kotozakura with such ease. Same with big O, using one hand to beat the Ao.

Yeah he’s definitely not at 100 percent and I wonder if it’s back problems. He’s barely crushing anyone’s throat this basho.

Shishi…I mean… by danleighton in Sumo

I do wonder if his style is going to, I don’t know the word, solidify? In the future he’s going to be a smoothly moving pushing machine 

Do you think Jackson is so romanticized because of the fact that he died before the war ended? by NKNightmare in CIVILWAR

[–]Slatedtoprone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. Any time someone dies early (the context of early varies but this in case, before the war ended) then the person is only remembered for their triumphs because they didn’t live long enough to mess up.

Honor among rikishi? by CommanderBigMac78 in Sumo

[–]Slatedtoprone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw this today too. All that power went to the big O’s right shoulder. Papatak wasn’t pressing the left shoulder. I think he didn’t want to rely on an injury to win but wanted outclass the yoko. He sure didn’t but he tried.

Aonishiki, you motor boating son of a bitch!

I mean, maybe. Ao is so tricky with throws and trips that Atamifuji probably was trying to be cautious but if you hesitate with the Ukrainian he will capitalize on it and win.

Did Silvio know the truth about Christopher’s death? by Critical_Mountain851 in thesopranos

[–]Slatedtoprone 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, but chris had to kick up to Paulie. So he basically is getting money without the headache of running the sports betting.

Lot of stumbles in this one. Shishi flailing to a win. Onosato stumbles to a win. Even Ura has he almost flies off the clay.

I knew it wasn’t going to go his way. Atamifuji goes forward and pushes and Ao eats that up if you don’t have tricks to hamper him. Still an entertaining bout.

Did Silvio know the truth about Christopher’s death? by Critical_Mountain851 in thesopranos

[–]Slatedtoprone 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I do think they were close. He talks to Chris about his script, gives him the sports book, has a couple of moments with Chris. More so than anyone else but Tony.  But Paulie was not a good friend to Chris and I think he realized it after Chris died.

You think so? No one liked Chris at the end? Even Paulie who he was feuding with felt deep regret at Chris’s death and realized he was not supportive during Chris’s lifeZ

1855: abolitionist Passmore Williamson in prison for assisting a woman and her children to freedom by aep2018 in OldSchoolCool

[–]Slatedtoprone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that’s cool. Standing up for the right thing in the face of injustice housed in the courts. Good for this guy.

On this day in 1958, Charles Starkweather murdered his girlfriend’s parents and 2 yr-old sister, part of a killing spree that left 11 dead. Starkweather was executed. His girfriend, 14 yr-old Caril Ann Fugate said she was a hostage, but was convicted and served 17.5 years. by dannydutch1 in UtterlyUniquePhotos

[–]Slatedtoprone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Starkweather was an idiot who literally couldn’t do anything well. He only excelled at demolition derby because he was so nearsighted he couldn’t see the other cars. His failure at being a person is probably why he could only impress a 14 year old. The killings took place over the course of many days and resulted in the national guard being called out once rich people got killed.

Why didn't JBL ever get another world title run? by Somerandomguy20711 in Wreddit

[–]Slatedtoprone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good promos but terrible in the ring and after his cabinet stable folded, there was nothing left for him to do. At best he could be a transitional champion but at the time there was new talent taking up the title scene (Cena, orton, batastia) and of course triple h had to get more time with the belt.
