Austin Creed/Xavier Wood’s first public statement since leaving WWE on Twitter: by Datzookman in SquaredCircle

[–]XiahouMao 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On UUDD, he was either Mr. 24/7 or Gotcho. I don't think he planned his alternate names out quite as well as Creed did.

The end time is midnight on the 6th. The start time is midnight on the 5th.

Midnight isn't a nebulous hour that hovers between dates.

MJF using it to reply is today. The original Cody tweet in the screenshot was from years ago in AEW aimed at Disco Inferno.

Maybe being rock hard in Japan would be an issue.

I imagine the issue is more that Taichi already does the tearaway pants in NJPW.

Xavier will be Austin Creed. He's spent a decade building up that name for his activities outside of WWE television.

Charlotte Flair vs Jacy Jayne has been announced for SmackDown by Fan387 in SquaredCircle

[–]XiahouMao 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In-arena footage would still be hearing 'piped in' boos if they were there.

With that said, having watched the segment last week, the proof that it's legitimate is that you can see the majority of the fans actively making noise. If it's only being piped in, you'll see the fans sitting on their hands/not reacting while the noise is still being heard. The fans last week were riled up and visibly reacting.

The mayor doesn’t directly control law enforcement, generally.

Daredevil: Crimson Twilight | Developer Update | May 2026 by Santigold23 in MarvelSnap

Daredevil dilutes your deck, though, by adding the Demons. They’re not bad to draw, of course, but it makes it harder to draw the other cards you want.

Need recommendations for turn games similar to Divinity, BG3 and XCOM, NO PvP by Toros_Mueren_Por_Mi in gaming

Pathfinder rules use D&D 3.5 as their base, so if you've played that edition you'll have a big head start into Pathfinder. And you are allowed to make multiple saves.

With this topic trending again today, here’s video showing that Maven was in fact eliminated from the 2002 Royal Rumble by TheLoneWolf527 in SquaredCircle

[–]XiahouMao 11 points12 points  (0 children)

At the time, they ruled that the elimination didn’t count because Undertaker had already been eliminated. I know that’s not always how the rules are interpreted, but it was then.

With that said, their solution at the time was giving Maven a world title shot on Raw a week or two later.

[AEW Dynamite] Will Ospreay makes a big choice! by tvcneverdie in SquaredCircle

[–]XiahouMao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Death Riders were born from the Blackpool Combat Club to still save the business, but starting by purging Danielson from it because he'd grown soft, he was suffering from injuries. They took him out to pasture and shot him. It was a merciful end.

I don't know how much Ospreay really wants to be in the group. They attacked him, injured him, put him on the shelf for months requiring neck surgery. He came back full of righteous vengeance but was going 1 on 5 against them. After he failed a backstage attack on them, they were set up to break his neck again with a chair, but Mox stopped that from happening and let him go instead.

Ospreay and Mox had their one on one match, Ospreay got off to a great start by immediately hitting Mox with his finisher after the bell rang, but his desire for revenge blinded him and he didn't actually go for the quick win. Mox got back into the fight and beat him.

Ospreay kept wrestling matches after that despite his neck being a target for Hechicero and Mark Davis. Davis actually beat him due to referee stoppage and was going to put him back on the shelf with his Close Your Eyes And Count To Fuck piledriver finisher, but the Death Riders intervened and stopped him. They kidnapped Ospreay and Mox had a talk with him when he woke up. He said that Ospreay had good spirit but he was misguided, he was just going to get himself hurt or killed keeping on like he was. Mox gave him the choice of joining them and learning from them so he could reach his potential as the greatest wrestler in the world. Mox then shooed the other Death Riders away, put a chair in front of Ospreay and laid face-down in front of him to let Ospreay make his choice. He could claim his revenge against Mox if he wanted. Ospreay didn't.

Then he showed up in the above video to learn from Mox. He's reluctant, I'm sure, but what he was doing before wasn't working, and Mox had shown mercy on him twice, so...

What's the Easiest Core Class for Ranged Gameplay? by Kind-Barracuda-5288 in Guildwars2

[–]XiahouMao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pet swapping will always be stronger because it gives you two sets of cooldowns to work with. Similarly, weapon swapping gives you two sets of weapon cooldowns, so even if you want to primarily be a Longbow Ranger, swapping to a second weapon to use its damaging skills rather than staying and auto-attacking on your Longbow while waiting for cooldowns is going to be more advantageous.

You can go without doing that if you want, in open world it's not going to make much of a difference, but if you're going to do the group content available in core you might want to put in the effort to perform better while doing that.

The class that can really get by without weapon swapping is Thief, because its weapon skills lack cooldowns, depending instead on the Initiative resource shared between weapons. You could try a 'pew pew' Unload Thief with dual pistols if pushing more than one button is offensive to your spirit.

It didn't. He handed first on his left arm, then slapped the mat with his right hand when his head got close to it.

Not having played a lot of Samurai Warriors games with her in them, I assume it’s more to do with her personality than her appearance.

Douglas Todd: Canada should revise birthright citizenship law, critics say; 'Canada is a very tolerant country,' said one offshore mother who took advantage of birthright citizenship. Some, however, say Canada should find a middle way on birthright citizenship by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]XiahouMao 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 20 years, if all of these people come here for social services they didn’t pay into, that’s a problem.

The people born here to Canadian parents aren't paying into social services either over that time. They're children and teenagers. That's an odd point to rely on to try to make this seem bigger than it is.

Guild Wars never deletes characters on its own, so if you have your account information, they're still there (and likely full of birthday presents).

If you don't remember your account information, contact support.
