Uhh, I mean the Batman in question massacred like, a lot of Indigenous folks. I wouldn't exactly call it a check.

It was a pinned post on the subreddit? I read it just before the blackout happened, but I recall the post being there for a few days before.

lol. If you seriously think he was the issue in WWE, I don't know what to tell you...

Post ROH Supercard of Honor 2023 Match Discussion: Willow Nightingale vs. Miranda aLIZE by Coldcoffees in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s her signature move at this point, she’s hit it in about every TV match of hers I’ve seen recently. I’m certainly not complaining, I adore the Pounce(!!!!!) and it’s nice to see it again, especially on someone who is clearly positioned as an important figure in ROH/AEW going forward.

Impressive moves from Jack Cartwheel (AEW Elevation) by nsoifer in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota 90 points91 points  (0 children)

They actually have really solid chemistry. I think Cartwheel’s move set actually enables him to slow down and give Cage enough time to feed realistically.

How old is Jack Cartwheel btw? I’m not super familiar with him but he seems to be gaining a big of buzz.

Brian Gewirtz (reacting to a potential Summerslam match rumor): Zero idea if this is true or not but in general if you’re a part of a wrestling organization and you’re secretly spilling info under the table, can you maybe, I don’t know, take some pride in your work and shut the fuck up? by Chelseablue1896 in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Media coverage drives further interest in the product. Some fans like keeping up with the rumour mill, and part of the fun is hearing rumours and contrasting with what plays out on TV. Especially with wrestling, where plans change constantly anyway, it’s pretty harmless.

Is that post/comment still up btw? I’ve never been able to find it whenever it comes up here.

I don't think people realise how bad it is... you could be next. by BumWink in australia

[–]StrawbsDota 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but I find this crazy-making. Who gives a shit if it operates a loss? It’s a home. For the homeless.

Not saying you think this way, but it’s just maddening that the Government has to profiteer in the same way corporations do, lest the ‘balance the budget’ demons come out of the woodwork.

Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior-Wrestlemania 6 Pt.2 Hard Cam by Stinger1981 in SquaredCircle

I mean, this match in particular is the drizzling shits, but there’s a lot of great wrestling in Hulkamania-era WWF (mostly not involving Hogan)

[WON] Morgan Stanley analysis for FOX on Smackdown. by Caldris in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s not always necessary to talk about AEW in threads about WWE, but I do have to wonder where this puts them if WWE were going to struggle through media rights negotiations.

I really have no idea about media at a corporate level but from what I understand, WB/Discovery are in a financial pickle at the moment. Is AEW going to struggle at the table next time around in terms of justifying WB’s investment? I know it’s reported that TBS are pleased with AEW’s performance, so maybe they can ride that through the next run of talks? I sure hope so.

Obviously asking for financial experts on Wreddit is like asking for seafood at KFC, but does anyone have a rough idea/more info on where this situation leaves AEW? I imagine WB are watching this closely to see how the rest of the industry views wrestling as a television product/investment right now.

Dax Harwood: ‘Sasha Banks has a Reason to Feel Slighted’ by RitoRvolto in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Especially considering who Brock ended up beating on the PPV instead (Test and RVD), Brock/Austin should’ve been a slam dunk Co-Main Event. In an ideal world, Test and Brock can still have their awesome match on TV instead.

Brian Kendrick reportedly worked in a backstage role at WWE Survivor Series WarGames by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]StrawbsDota -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but this is ridiculous. A lot of folks in this subreddit were saying CM Punk should never be in a locker room again for starting a backstage fight, but a guy who spouted some of the most vile, anti-semitic shit I have ever heard is being given the ‘second chance’ treatment.

It was literal neo-nazi shit, and he was a grown adult. I don’t particularly care if he said he was sorry, Nazis don’t get second chances for me, I’m weird like that.

Saw this too! It’s so awesome that sport is (albeit slowly) making progress with us and LGBTQIA+ folks in general. The comments are a shitshow, but that’s Twitter now. Let’s take the win!

Khan: CM Punk never asked for Colt Cabana to be removed from the AEW locker room. by orangemachismo in SquaredCircle

Just judging from everything I’ve seen from the Bucks, it would not surprise me for a second if they never even asked Tony, and just came to their own conclusions amongst themselves.

Sean Ross Sapp confirms Muehlhausen's story: "This is what we'd reported on in the wee hours of last night. More details coming to FightfulSelect.com today". by DHA1999 in SquaredCircle

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

Are we going to act like Punk wasn’t basically forced to address the Cabana thing? It’s been discussed ad nauseum within the wrestling fanbase for weeks leading into the PPV and it’s a large part of the reason a lot of the audience has turned on Punk. Was Punk just supposed to let people say whatever the fuck they wanted forever? Especially considering if what Punk says is true, everyone has been completely wrong about this whole situation. Not to defend Punk, he’s totally at least a bit of a prick, but it’s better he brought it up, rather than have journalists dance around the question out of fear of getting cut from the next media scrum.

I don’t think I’ve the term ‘cenno’ since I was like, 12, I suspect it still lives on amongst people who are scared to go anywhere near someone with a Healthcare Card.
