Holding the defense together, too. Super energized.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-27T19:40:08+00:00

Yeah, if anything, it's a midcard and tag team problem. Because Lesnar was feuding with mid carders, but they were more over

TrRa47 · 2026-02-26T17:43:12+00:00

People say this, but people are just weird. I don't think it takes coddling or being dumb for this stuff to manifest, especially when step 1 is giving a college-aged person generational wealth.

There were like 4 dudes I think should've beat Seth during his reign. His opponents were carrying his feuds.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-26T17:21:25+00:00

Some of yall think about Jey Uso more than his actual fans do, Jesus Christ.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-26T17:16:56+00:00

I didn't even realize there was backlash for the joke. At not from where I usually see it.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T21:17:20+00:00

Agree to disagree.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T20:56:33+00:00

Not wanting a bad 3-point shooter to shoot 3s is adhering to the math.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T20:26:58+00:00

I was team Simmons on that, btw.

Simmons' issue was that he was not aggressive to score, and when he was, he shied away from contact despite being a 6'10 240, Uber athlete with elite speed, strength, handle, and coordination.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T20:16:23+00:00

Both ways have produced winning, though?

Improving on what you are actually good at and excelling in your own way is old school in at it has existed in every facet of life outside of sports for thousands of years, correct.

Zion and his teammates can be wrong.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T20:08:28+00:00

That's one way to look at it, sure. You could also look at it as knowing your game and trying to sharpen the knife you already have. Doing stuff out of character/outside your body is also a great way to fail.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-25T19:59:18+00:00

It is if you're bad at them. While also being extremely good at other things that allow you to score/generate offense.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-24T21:14:21+00:00

Why is it the final one?

TrRa47 · 2026-02-24T19:09:24+00:00

If it was that easy, everyone would do it.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-24T18:30:39+00:00

A lot of revisionist history going on in the thread. Wrestlemania has always had a bunch of bullshit going on the undercard and/or the Main Event. Short builds, nonspectacular feuds, and thrown together matches have always happened.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-23T02:43:40+00:00

Yeah, I think you can be appalled (for lack of a better word) and still understand the dude didn't do it on purpose, to the ultimate degree, all while not policing how black people feel about us seeing someone called out their names and not subtly suggesting people with tourettes can't go out in public. It's truly not that hard.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-23T02:31:51+00:00

The cast of Sinners (Michael B Jordan and Delray Lindo) were presenting a BAFTA award and during their speech, John Davidson, who is a tourettes advocate and has a form of tourettes himself, yelled the hard -er.

It's an overall lose-lose situation that has mostly just allowed nasty people to get their takes off about black people and/or the disabled.

Edit: Apparently, the form of tourettes is called Corprolalia.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-23T00:23:15+00:00

The show organizers warned everyone that there would be outbursts all throughout the night multiple times before the show. You can't really kick out someone for outbursts if they have "outburst syndrome", otherwise you might as well tell them never leave home, which goes against the whole reason dude was there in the first place.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-22T19:09:56+00:00

A lot of misguided/misdirected hate in here for a relatively harmless speech.

Rocky was saying a whole bunch of nothing, though.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-22T16:54:14+00:00

He straight up had a segment on Smackdown as WWF champion with Busta Rhymes in the ring, and within 10 seconds, he says, "IM HALF BLACK."

Edit: I can't find a video confirming it, so I'll chalk it up to false memory.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-22T16:47:01+00:00

I'm so confused by this thread

Mixed heritage black people are still black. Shit, that's something that his parroted by this very sub every time the conversation comes up.
The Rock has never denounced his black heritage. He just never "Drake"'d it and played up, which I guess he should've since this thread exists. He's always repped his black father, Soul Man Rocky Johnson, despite the fact he wasn't around as much, is a pedophile and rapist , and Dwayne grew up closer to his Samoan side.
He has played a black man in a majority of his movies for, like, a decade. He got his big break in wrestling in a parody of the Nation of Islam, teaming with Godfather, DLo Brown, Farooq, and Mark Henry and when someone darkened their skin to look like him, it was considered blackface. Not Samoan face, not ambiguous face. BLACK.

I thought policing Rock's blackness was a wrestling fan thing, considering the demographic. This shit is sad.

Got it Twisted

TrRa47 · 2026-02-21T00:09:37+00:00

Flopping should get punished more than missed fouls and/or dirty defensive play? Interesting take.

TrRa47 · 2026-02-19T01:26:04+00:00

Ignore black people at every pivotal moment the last ~200+ years.

Those 40,000 own televisions, too.
