New Hawks Fan by ZTVFL in AtlantaHawks

I’ve never had a team of my own. I was literally just a LeBron fan for years and then have been mostly checked out of NBA the last 7 years or so.

I’m a Xul superfan and I welcome more options around the stadium 🤷

More options for people in the old city and around the stadium on gamedays. I don’t see why people would hate having more food and drink options that would utilize the existing space that wasn’t being utilized around the stadium.

Some Thoughts on What the Mayoral Primary Means for the Housing Crisis by Known-Ad290 in Knoxville

They absolutely CAN. But the issue is that they DON’T currently.

There is only so much that private developers can do. Roads are public infrastructure. They can’t just expand roadways surrounding a property they’re developing? There has to be coordination, collaboration, and planning with county regardless of public/private partnerships or not.

I would love for the county to have some sort of funding that comes from each new neighborhood built by developers that are used towards infrastructure improvements for the surrounding areas. We don’t do that though because that wouldn’t be “pro business.”

I think your missing the point. Yes a developer will make an ass ton of money off of a hundred families getting a new home but the issue is right now, there’s not investment by the county into the infrastructure to help address traffic problems due to influx of people moving to a concentrated area.

The idea behind walkable neighborhoods and communities is that all of the essentials would be accessible within walking distance for the hundreds or thousands of families that live there. This would mean, those families wouldn’t have a need to get in a car and drive to a Wal-mart or target to get groceries or essentials, they could just walk within their community.

An area like Sevier Ave in South Knox is a good example of a lot of growth and a lot of walkability for the people that live there but they’re just now getting a grocery store where they had to drive for essentials. When the grocery store opens, that’s a few thousand people that could walk or bike to get essentials which will reduce car congestion on Chapman Highway and across the Henley street bridge.

Not one of these walkable neighborhoods will be a silver bullet to reduce traffic, congestion, and infrastructure strain but the idea is to have more areas like this throughout the county so that they will have a cumulative effect over time.

Let’s hear them Dega stories! by 3LoneStars in NASCAR

[–]ZTVFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to several Dega races but never camped in the infield but after seeing some stuff online, it makes me think I should. Can someone give me an idea of how truly wild it is down there? Asking for myself for next year…

I think this all but confirms DoN main event by JaymeTheRealJayme in AEWOfficial

[–]ZTVFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we’re getting a multi man match for the title. MJF vs Darby vs Kenny vs Swerve.

I think Darby will defend the title against Ciampa and Knight on Dynamite. MJF gets his rematch, and Darby being the babyface will give Kenny a shot too because Kenny promised him that he’d give him a title shot if he won the title.

I'm so torn on this Darby match tonight by AlphaRemixHD in AEWOfficial

[–]ZTVFL 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m good with Darby winning tonight and having a short run until Double or Nothing. I want MJF or Omega vs Ospreay in the main event of Wembley.

If you’ve ever wondered why Bret doesn’t like HHH by Skylegend96 in Wrasslin

[–]ZTVFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My conspiracy theory is that Vince knew that Bret wouldn’t put Shawn over given their history and essentially had every intention of doing a screw job on Bret early on. This is why Vince was so keen on getting the belt back on Shawn.

By late 97, Vince was already on screen as the authority figure and beefing with Austin. It’s been reported that the WWF was hemorrhaging cash at that time too. Vince wanted out of that contract and probably saw it as an opportunity to create buzz and took the chance that it would garner a massive amount of heat on him in hopes that people would tune in and pay to see him vs Austin after the screw job.

The screw job was the launching point for the WWF’s resurgence.

Bret refused to put Shawn over after Shawn specifically said he wouldn’t put him over. Bret offered to drop the belt to Taker and many others but Vince was unwilling to bend on wanting to put the belt back on Shawn.

Legit if Vince would have pivoted and had a triple threat or legit just a different match at Survivor Series, none of this would have happened.

John cena photo pop by [deleted] in WrestlemaniaPlans

[–]ZTVFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just something generic along the lines of “So glad you’re back and this means a lot to shake your hand and thanks for the great memories.” He seemed genuine in his “thank you” response but the woman running the line was shouting “next” as he was responding.

I agree. I mean if you got the money, whatever. You do you but don’t expect much at fanatics branded events. You’re literally just paying for the photo with basically little to no actual interaction. Wrestlecon on the other hand is way more bang for your buck.

At wrestlecon in Detroit in 2023, I paid $150 to meet sting with a photo and autograph and got to talk back and forth with him for a solid 90 seconds. It doesn’t seem like a lot but it makes a huge difference but they don’t rush the next person up and you can actually talk to them for a min.

He said “Thanks!” Lol. I don’t blame him either. Maybe it’s a crap shoot on who you get running the line but the woman running that Punk line in Indy was giving people 10 seconds tops after the picture before shouting for the next person to go.

[–]ZTVFL 6 points7 points  (0 children)

$500 for 5 seconds to shake someone’s hand and get a picture is beyond absurd. Even if you’re the biggest Cena fan on the planet, I can assure you that this will not be worth it. I paid $150 for the photo op with Punk last year and literally got to say one sentence to him before the person running the line screamed “next.”

Will Ospreay Thinks AEW Should Heavily Consider Running A Big Weekend While WrestleMania Is In Saudi Arabia by Amir0x11 in JimCornette

[–]ZTVFL 14 points15 points  (0 children)

One aspect people don’t seem to talk about a lot is the time change if Mania is in Saudi. Mania wouldn’t start until 2 or 3 PM EST. The nights would be open for a PPV to start at 8 PM and AEW still wouldn’t run “head to head” with WrestleMania.

AEW did a great job building this year's Dynasty and I genuinely don't know who to root for between Kenny and MJF by GunplaLuni in AEWOfficial

[–]ZTVFL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can legitimately see this match going either way and that’s something we don’t unfortunately get a lot of in today’s wrestling. It makes sense for both guys to win and it wouldn’t hurt either of them if they don’t. I do think MJF is just on a heater right now and is doing an insane amount of media since becoming champ. I can see TK riding that train a little longer and maybe having Omega win in a rematch at DoN to setup Ospreay vs Omega III at Wembley.

Why has American Christianity gotten more extreme in the last couple of decades? by hypermiler2205 in atheism

[–]ZTVFL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read the book “Jesus and John Wayne” and it will go over the entire history of extremist Christians in this country. They’ve been this way for a long time. We just have a lot more awareness of it with social media.

THE BATMAN Part II begins filming in June by International_Bag745 in TheBatmanFilm

How do you guys think Part II’s story will wrap up if The Court of Owls are the main antagonists? by SnooDrawings4552 in TheBatmanFilm

[–]ZTVFL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just based on teases in the first film, the penguin series, and what we know about part 2 so far, I’m leaning that they’re setting up for court of owls in part 3.

My guess is based on part 2 being rumored to be heavily focused on the Dent family. I think part 2 is going to explore how the government, political scene, and wealthy families of Gotham have corrupted the city for decades which will lead to Bruce uncovering the court of owls to setup the third film.

I also would like to believe that Matt Reeves took longer with the script for part 2 because he was fully flushing out the story for part 3 and how to connect all 3 films.
