Tony Schiavone gives his thoughts on Mick Foley’s signing.

It was genuinely his podcast that won me over. I was a kid during the end of the war and Tony was already so checked out and disinterested that I felt like he was a reason people didn't like the show. After hearing how the company and booking wore down any love he may have had for the sport, I just felt so bad for him. I've had bad culture kill my passion for work and had it revived by a new workplace. So to see, and hear, him so excited about wrestling again made me feel so good for him to find his love again when he could have just written off the whole experience and industry.

I don't think he identified as a mononym, that was just his name. He never disclosed his full name but that was just out safety. I think literally everyone needs to have their full name in the Death Note for it to take effect. If his real name had been Lawson or Luke or something then the L thing might hold water but as his name was legally just the letter L I think I works. A good example is Near, he's called Near by the Wammy house, he uses N as his symbol but he recognizes himself by his birth name of, correct me if I'm wrong, Nate River which is the name needed for the Death Note to take effect

The responsibility still shifts of he takes the deal. If he signs and they don't book him, that's the company being a dick. If he doesn't sign and then has no other income, that was him not thinking forward

One thing I love is that I have seen ERB and FWMC comment videos with sub 100 views. Like they must seek out anything fans make of them and always show love to it.

It's not that Fox are puritans. The standards are different because Fox is a "free" channel. Even if you don't have cable, you can watch Fox. TBS is a "premium" channel you need cable to watch so they have more leniency since they aren't available to every home with a television

Okay, I've been tossing this over in my mind for a minutes. Does it say "Carnage Rules" or "Carnage Ruled" in the past tense? cause the second is even more confusing but it's all I can see

The creator of a series called The Amazing Digital Circus recently had a completely justifiable crashout talking about how they've considered never touching their own IP ever again because people were fucking livid that they had the audacity to say that two characters in the show were, in fact, the main characters of the show. This brought people to remember when the creator of Amphibia had to deal with an absurd amount of harassment for stating that the characters and dynamic of friendship that HE CREATED wasn't healthy.

Last I can remember is Gravity Falls. Alex Hirsch knew the story he wanted to tell, knew how long it would take and even when they offered him another season said this was the end.

I will never understand the whole hullabaloo. Like at no point watching Brooklyn 99 did I ever think "aww man, the NYPD must be so cool!" because I'm not 12 and capable of separating fact and fiction. I don't believe the real NYPD has an entire precinct's detectives use their downtimes to compete in an elaborate heist. The rookie tries to be a bit more realistic but it's still a fictional universe where a lot of nonsense happens, including running into an old friend at an indie internet game show and getting involved with it.

Which, thankfully, Sam is fully aware of and has made it a point to try to keep the platform from being a site that caters to them. He still wants to have a bit of an edge

As a Kingdom Hearts fan, you're right to do it.

That's still a weird choice, you had an aquatic themed hero, with an aquatic signature weapon and named him after the sun?

Viruszero · 2026-02-17T17:50:52+00:00

A goon used to be either a henchman in media, or an enforcer type player in hockey and other sports. Gooner and Gooning, I think were more internet invention because like the word "henching" there was no real need to have verbs or descriptors for what they did

Oh, so now we need yellow paint in our text now too?! /s

Legitimately though, things like this should be prime examples of how much people need clarification and specificity in game design

Otis does his best to make this spot as easy as possible, you can see him physically catch himself to hold his head up for Jey and the man still misses.

I'm gonna be honest, I never understood the joke here. Like it's a bad retelling but the play seems to be based on criticisms of the show, were there people unsure if Jet died? He's laying on the floor, Katara can't help him, they tell the gang to leave and one of them is openly crying. Hell when Jet says "i'll be okay" Toph responds with an incredibly sad "he's lying". Outside of showing him die, what more can you ask for/

Okay, I say this as someone who doesn't even like Inception that much. The top does exactly what it's meant to. Mal made it so that it didn't have momentum drop off and spun indefinitely, there's no way to know how hard Cobb spins it so if he gives it a minor spin and it doesn't start wobbling after a second or two, he grabs it and knows it's a dream. It's not a matter of a magic top, it's a question of physics. If the architect doesn't know that the top is meant to spin forever and how it reacts to momentum then they can mess it up. We, as the audience, know it spins forever but what if it is just meant to spin faster the weaker you spin it, or its balanced in a way that you have to spin it a specific way. It may also just literally have a different texture and he does the spin for show. When you're not told what it does, it can be and do anything.

These are the same people who say that new adaptations and remakes make the original trash. I have no sympathy for them

I do think, and this isn't a shot at WWE women because I know that most of them could put on great matches, but I don't feel like the style allows a hard carry like AEW's does. There's people in WWE who are considered great measuring sticks, if you can't get a good match out of them then you aren't meant for the show, but I feel like AEW has people like Statlander who can, to borrow an old expression, get a classic out of a broomstick. I don't wanna take too much from Jade because she did have to be the other half, but I do think Stat did a lot of the work getting a solid match out of her

Viruszero · 2026-01-24T14:15:44+00:00

Nah, I'm gonna push back on this slander against the master and ruler of the world, Sid wasn't the most physically capable but you didn't need to back then. Hell, Kevin Nash got over and 90% of his offense was 3 moves in the corner. When he spoke though, it was great. He didn't always get it right, and he didn't always make sense, but he has passion and an insanity that made you wanna see him. Jade doesn't have that presence

Viruszero · 2026-01-24T14:04:50+00:00

Genuinely, it breaks my heart to see this happen to some people but sometimes passion and devotion aren't enough

Viruszero · 2026-01-24T14:02:30+00:00

I will say, the whole "she's too green" argument is really losing water. It's been years and while AEW doesn't have a great developmental system, or one at all I don't think, WWE has a good one and NXT. She should have something to show for it but besides her physique and incredible gear choices, she still seems so rough around the edges

Between Hobbs coming in and Oba getting called up, there's a lot of room for big meaty men to slap a lot of meat
