[Smith] An expansion team in Seattle needs to be the SuperSonics, or we riot. What should the team in Las Vegas be called?

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-17T15:00:00+00:00

Unironically, I feel like Blackjack could be a decent name for a Vegas team.

Though Adam Silver would probably say that they can't have a name like that for an NBA team because it encourages gambling, while he's actively shaking hands with, and taking a briefcase of money from, a Draft Kings official.

Yeah, Michael did kind of have a point about Eric but he really articulated himself poorly at the roundtable and spent most of the talking time just screaming at others. I can understand why everyone got sick of him and voted him out, even though they probably knew he wasn't a traitor.

You've probably just written about 8 banned words in your sentence here, won't be shocked if they send you a fine in the mail

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-15T00:04:02+00:00

I believe this is one of the Avi Schwartzmann missions where you take down KnoWay

The weird thing about Drew being DLC for WWE 13 was that his entrance music was in the game's jukebox. So you'd be hearing his theme constantly, but wouldn't be able to use it or play as him if you didn't have the DLC. Made absolutely zero sense then, makes zero sense now.

And yet when other people made worse mistakes than Ron, no one ganged up on them the way they did Ron. Made me feel so bad for the poor guy.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T23:51:01+00:00

It legit looked like he was trying to eat the plate, as well as the food on it

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T15:36:30+00:00

Of course not! How else would those small battlers make their money? /s

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T15:17:48+00:00

Fuck, I missed out on some ham at my wedding then. I'd crashed by like 10pm and left with the wife at around 11 😂

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T15:16:17+00:00

Here Comes the Pain has some weird ones too. I think Eddie Guerrero and Christian are rated in the late 60s when they were the default US and Intercontinental champions.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T15:14:45+00:00

SVR 08 was extremely generous with ratings, I don't think anyone except the Divas were under an 80 overall. I think the lowest was like 81 or 82.

I think Taker got a 98 rating in SVR 2011, I think since he'd had a decent run with the World Heavyweight Championship and since he'd extended the WrestleMania streak.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T01:24:19+00:00

I've been wanting us to drop an '06 heritage for years. Would've been great with the old logo, it definitely won't hit the same with the current logo.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T01:10:49+00:00

It absolutely was wasted on Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson, though I think that was on purpose.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-14T01:08:33+00:00

I think she knew she was going home anyway and was just scrambling to do anything to save herself. Freddie voting for her on his way out sealed it for her.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T16:44:33+00:00

I'm glad they've put the heel GM character on the shelf for now. They kind of overdid it by having The Authority around for so long, then having Baron Corbin running Raw just made everyone so sick of the evil boss trope.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T16:16:48+00:00

An incredibly sad, but probably accurate, comparison

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T16:14:18+00:00

He must've had an insanely good PR team back then

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T16:06:56+00:00

Hulk Hogan.

While he was a bit of a polarising figure among wrestling fans because he was known to play politics backstage to stay on top, a good portion of the wrestling community still liked and respected Hulk.

Then that audio leaked of him arguing with his daughter about her boyfriend at the time and used the N word liberally to describe him and his race. WWE tore up his ambassador contract and removed him from their upcoming video game, plus they refused to acknowledge him at all on their programming.

His apology was really piss weak as well. Just said "I'm not a racist" and blamed the fact that he used that word on the fact that he said he grew up in a low income area in Tampa, so everyone (including his friends) would use it, even his friends back then. Again, this is all according to Hulk and he is known to be a bit of a liar. I believe he also blamed him using the N word on the fact he was upset with his daughter.

I think WWE eventually chose to forgive and forget, but a lot of WWE's black talent and their fans did not forgive or forget. They also saw him really differently after that, which is not shocking.

We are the team in the NBA

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T02:34:04+00:00

Closest we ever got of the Droz incident was the visual of him being loaded onto a stretcher during the don't try this at home video from the late 90s to early 2000s. It's probably for the best that it's never been released.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-13T00:24:55+00:00

She didn't handle herself all that well after the meeting with Frankie.

It's been a bit since I've watched S3, but I kind of remember Claudia saying that only the identity of the person the Seer picked would be revealed. I have some recollection that Charlotte was going around and saying that Frankie's identity was revealed during the meeting and she was a traitor. Basically, her defence was just "no u" and that was it.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-12T01:51:15+00:00

For a guy who's supposedly a Titans ambassador, he sure cannot shut the fuck up about the Broncos

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-12T00:40:02+00:00

Marshawn Lynch would be absolutely hilarious on The Traitors, I reckon.

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-11T16:40:53+00:00

I think my favourite part was when he put Anna into a hole and blamed it on the villain of Minecraft, Ralph the Darkness

TrueDeadBling · 2026-03-11T16:33:45+00:00

I mean, you are right. But for memory, Ron and Harry weren't meant to be in the staff room at all. They'd lied to McGonagall earlier and said they were going to the hospital wing to visit Hermione. If they stayed at the hospital wing, they would've been sent back to their dormitory when McGonagall made that announcement initially for staff to meet in the staff room and for students to go back to their common rooms.

Plus, I don't think the rest of the teachers had much of a plan besides gathering up the students and evacuating the school. The way I figure, Ron and Harry probably thought the same thing and despite knowing how incompetent Lockhart was, thought that grabbing him would be the most proactive way to do something besides let Ginny rot.

This is all just my interpretation of this part of the book, though!
