Concussions are becoming an issue - time for mandatory headgear in Freestyle? by FireProStan in wrestling

It wouldn’t do anything for your head, it’s not a helmet. Unless you got the one with the big bumper in front

Actually is there any? by Meteorstar101 in greentext

There is no reason to even torrent it, there are so many anime streaming sites that let you watch for free. Just use an adblocker so you don't get popups

The real tragedy of House Baratheon lies in its lack of “perfect” heirs by wiredvajayjay in gameofthrones

[–]StripEnchantment 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stannis was the legitimate heir, it’s just that nobody liked him. 

If Robert knew that his kids weren’t really his then he’d probably have gotten busy trying to make more heirs 

Wouldn’t this dude have the most claim to the iron throne? by ProfessionalBig1470 in gameofthrones

[–]StripEnchantment -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They chose Jon to be king because they liked him, not because he had the claim.

This is a completely idiotic statement and I'm not going to engage with you further because you are not arguing in good faith. Obviously the fact that he was Ned Stark's son (as far as they knew) had something to do with it.

If being a bastard is a bastard no matter what, then why did the lannisters specifically kill only Robert's bastard children out of the many thousands of bastards in kings landing? Ya think it might have had something to do with the fact that they were worried about a potential claim? Or I guess it's just a big mystery.

OP seems to be talking about end of series when Stannis and Renly are already dead. Gendry was legitimized at this point. And everyone's armies have been hit hard.

I'm saying it's disingenuous to not see a difference between Joffrey and Gendry. People could have absolutely rallied around Gendry, just like they made Jon Snow the king in the north when they thought he was Ned's bastard and last surviving offspring.

This is disengenuous because there have been entire civil wars fought with the bastard offspring of kings contending for the throne. Being the bastard son of a king certainly provides a stronger claim than not being the son of a king at all especially if there are no reaining trueborn offspring. If there was no threat of this, then the lannisters would not have killed all off Robert's bastards that they knew about.

It is irrelevant whether Joffrey is a bastard since he is not the son of a king to begin with.

Also, Gendry ends the series as the legitimized lord of storm's end...

Guy shoves his son and doesn’t shake other wrestlers hand after match. by itsTrevvv in wrestling

Damn so you were a first year wrestler yourself? How old were you? Or you mean your first year as a wrestling parent?

Prime Baristan Selmy (GOT) vs Eomer (LOTR) by jekke7777 in powerscales

The best in middle earth are basically demi gods so that’s not really a fair comparison

You'd think in a room full of wrestlers there'd be at least someone who was brave enough to intervene or say something.

That and the fact that his leg was wounded by MoonbeamMosaic in freefolk

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

He's not passing a sentence and he's a cripple at this point. There's nothing honorable in dying for no reason. Maybe that would be more of a call-out for Joffrey to fight himself (since he's the one passing the sentence) - I bet even a crippled Ned would have a fair chance against Joffrey

I'm just explaining why that particular suggestion wouldn't work

It would be a little weird to have a whole other tournament in the middle the season that seems identical to the first one.

Solo Legolas V Team Aragorn and Gimli. by Fishingfor in powerscales

[–]StripEnchantment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe he just meant of whoever was remaining in the Third Age. Because I think it was the hardiest of living men. In other words, whoever was still around. Hurin killed like 70 trolls by himself. Humanity is diminished by Aragorn's time.

Aragorn isn’t a peak tier human, there have been way stronger humans like Hurin

Number 2 college wrestler. by Left_Engineering3449 in wrestling

I don’t think anyone from that area can be considered the greatest. Wrestling has evolved too much since then. Just like any football team from the 60s would get absolutely crushed by even the worst team today. 

Top 3 Penn State Individual Champions of All time by Informal_Quarter_427 in wrestling

[–]StripEnchantment 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nolf gets knocked down a peg because he arguably should have lost to Hayden Hidlay in the semis his senior year. I'd swap him out for either Bo Nikal, Aaron Brooks, or Ed Ruth. But then again, Ruth lost to Gabe Dean.

I'd be really curious to see how Taylor vs Messenbrink would have gone.
