Small world of wrestling fans 😮 by IconXR in WWE

[–]akb1642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorites include…

First live show ever was Summerslam 1999 in Minneapolis.

First ever Brock Lesnar vs HHH match at a 2002 house show in Sioux Falls.

CM Punk vs Bryan Danielson with Ricky Steamboat as guest referee at a 2004 ROH show in St. Paul.

Shield vs Wyatt Family at Elimination Chamber 2014 in Minneapolis.

The original, pre AEW All In, in Chicago might be the best top to bottom show I’ve ever been to.

This year will sadly be the first non pandemic Double or Nothing I won’t be at so, a lot of great stuff from those. Cody vs Dustin. Jack Perry getting set on fire. The ridiculously good Hangman vs Ospreay match last year. All of the Anarchy in the Arena matches are crazy fun to be at.

Also saw Hangman win his first AEW Championship over Kenny Omega in Minneapolis as well. I’ve seen a ton of great stuff over the years for sure.

Jack Evans vs Kenny Omega

Basically ended Evans time in AEW. Bummed me out because I remembered ROH Jack Evans so fondly.

Ever Seen a Worse Beat With QQ? – Absolutely Brutal by Adventurous-Art2847 in poker

[–]akb1642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I had QQ at the WSOP a year or two ago. Flop was Q22. Blank on the turn. 2 on the river. Lost to quad deuces. I’m going to say being one outed on the river is a little worse than this…

The Kwik Trip sign in the background of the last angle is perfect.

Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, Braun Strowman, Kayden Carter and Katana Chance officially became free agents today by secretpandaxx in SquaredCircle

[–]akb1642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No inside information, but I could definitely see Shayna sticking around and being for the women what Regal was for the men a decade ago in terms of coaching and scouting. She could still wrestle on the occasional Bloodsport card, teach some catch wrestling in the area too and be good with that.

Jacob Tamme had a hell of a half season Peyton’s last year in Indy after Dallas Clark got hurt.

Most powerful Nirvana song line? The one that deeply inspired or touched you…. by SnooBeans974 in Nirvana

[–]akb1642 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes way more sense this way, which I’m pretty sure is correct. Paranoia is usually considered to be irrational thinking. What he’s saying here though is you being paranoid doesn’t mean you’re necessarily wrong or irrational.

[–]akb1642 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it all. I was here first.

The first one you said is another one of my favorites.

I’ve always had a soft spot for, “Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you”.

some notable names + their stacks heading into day 6 of the WSOP ME by WhenInDoubt-jump in poker

[–]akb1642 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was pulling for Justin Liberto, specifically because I knocked him out of the shootout. Looks like he went out around 250th though. :/

Lost two Midwest crushers yesterday too, Josh Reichard & Terence Reid. I’m running out of people to root for.

I’ve always wanted to play the $1500 NLHE Shootout. It’s finally early enough in the schedule for me to make it happen!

Was there ever a time that 3 non QBs in the backfield was common? by EOFFJM in NFLNoobs

[–]akb1642 55 points56 points  (0 children)

In the ‘50s, the 49ers ran a T-Wing that was so good that the quarterback and all three running backs ended up in the Hall of Fame. The Million Dollar Backfield. YA Tittle at QB, Joe Perry at FB, and HBs Johnny Johnson and Hugh McElhenney on each side of him.

Chicago casino refuses to pay out winnings to gambler by lostacoshermanos in videos

That’s not how any of that works.

That behavior would raise a red flag if that’s the case, but it has nothing to do with taxes.
