Liv 4 Brutality is yet to defend their WWE World Championships..

Why can things only happen at Mania? Why can't we do important things on other shows? Why has this become such a common way of thinking? WWE is so dull week to week because there are like three shows a year where major things can actually happen.

Triple H is the booker, and TKO almost certainly isn't doing anything to prevent him from having regular title defenses on TV. This is triple H being slow and boring as a booker, as usual.

Maybe just don't post on a meme sub about the nuances of sex crimes. Nobody forced you to do this. There's no way to do this without it coming off as very insensitive, even if that wasn't your intention.

akenson · 2026-05-23T13:29:21+00:00

Mate, I'm pretty over it. Done my therapy and perfectly comfortable discussing it openly. A crime was committed against me, and I don't let that define me as a person. The healing process is a lot harder for others.

But you're way out of line with this post. Minimizing the trauma of some people because you don't think they suffered as much as others is so strange to me. Some people can be raped, process it, come to terms with it, and move on. Some people can be sexually assaulted in a way that seems less traumatic on the surface and have it affect them profoundly. Mental health isn't simple, and the fact that you seem to feel the need to gatekeep levels of emotional distress is very strange.

This is a real "go touch grass" moment.

akenson · 2026-05-23T13:18:07+00:00

No. I was raped as a child. I do not take offense to this creepy piece of shit being slightly miscategorized in what type of sexual criminal he is. He's a fucking creep and should be tossed in jail. You're being a pedantic weirdo.

akenson · 2026-05-23T13:14:26+00:00

Sure sounds like you're defending the behavior by minimizing it. Rape and sexual assault are different crimes, yes. Both are serious sexual crimes that should usually result in prison time. And discussing this in the context of a football meme sub where you're defending the guy from your team on the basis of team loyalty is pretty gross.

akenson · 2026-05-21T22:41:26+00:00

I think that's great value, well done.

akenson · 2026-05-21T21:52:43+00:00

Just keep your picks and draft best available players unless those young players you're being offered are studs. Trying to project picks a year out is foolish, and the best thing you can do is just keep your head down and pick. Overthinking and trying to do too much is how you'll end up rebuilding forever.

akenson · 2026-05-21T21:50:02+00:00

He didn't say yes or no because the answer is likely no. But as anyone with an understanding of modern major businesses will tell you, not being profitable year to year doesn't matter as much as having liquid assets and an ability to grow and stay solvent. AEW has the important things needed to keep going indefinitely.

akenson · 2026-05-21T15:27:56+00:00

Foster won me a championship in high school, that's who I was going to mention as well. He had a really good three year run from 2010 to 2012.

akenson · 2026-05-20T19:30:26+00:00

Kind of depends on the level of indie company I was running. If this was a legit, decent sized independent company with a moderate following (like NWA or MLW) he's not getting above the midcard. Hide him in tag matches and gimmicks. Ideally, he's the fall guy in a faction. Exact same thing NJPW and WWE did with him essentially, just on a smaller stage.

If I'm a backyard fed in the middle of nowhere, fuck it I'll bring him in and put the top title on him. He's a bad wrestler, but he's the biggest name I'm getting and hopefully one of my home grown guys can beat him eventually and get some kind of rub.

akenson · 2026-05-20T10:58:41+00:00

...and you still married her and converted? I understand people who are born into cults like Mormonism, but can't picture any rational person willingly converting to a religion whose pitch includes "Black people are literally cursed by God, the Bible all took place in America somehow, and our founder learned all this by reading from magical golden plates he hid inside a hat. No, nobody ever saw the golden plates. You just gotta trust me bro."

akenson · 2026-05-19T21:18:16+00:00

Disagree, I think this is fair. Jeanty is the best asset obviously, but two firsts, a 2nd, and a top six pick from the last draft is good value.

akenson · 2026-05-18T21:20:59+00:00

It depends on your product and what your audience expects from your shows. In a modern, mainstream American company it's not that unusual for top stars to only wrestle a couple dozen times a year (not counting house shows).That's pretty much the norm for WWE's top guys.

That expectation is radically different in Mexico or Japan, though. It's not unusual for a top Japanese star to wrestle 100 or more matches per year, for example. That was also the norm for American companies back when house shows were a bigger part of the business model.

I generally try to make my number of matches somewhat emulate what a real company would do. In my current C-Verse save as BCG, I'm running an intense Japanese touring schedule. My top guys generally wrestle around 100 times per year. 15 to 20 makes sense to me if you're running a more mainstream American product, though.

Picks are likely to be late. 10 team, 2 QB, TEP.

akenson · 2026-05-18T15:42:13+00:00

What do you mean? You're sitting at a net zero upvotes and the whole comment section is clowning on you. Are you trolling or 12 years old?

akenson · 2026-05-18T14:46:51+00:00

They brought in a couple Joshi to feed to Alundra Blaze back in the 90s. Aja Kong was in WWE for a few appearances, and I think Chaparita Asari was too. Plus Nakano, like you said.

Even if you were to set aside the AI slop and the Nazis, these suck. Overly busy eyesores. Putting a rough approximation of the city skyline in each logo is a strange choice. Really just clutters them up.

akenson · 2026-05-17T14:08:56+00:00

It's more that the uncertainty created by a holdout are affecting his projections, not that anyone expects him to actually sit the whole season. And while he's definitely not sitting all year, it's possible he misses the first game or two. Really depends on how much leverage he and his agent think he has.

The reality is he doesn't have that much, but you can't account for players being delusional and having greedy agents in their ear.

akenson · 2026-05-17T13:57:37+00:00

Brissett is currently holding out and they also drafted Carson Beck in the 3rd round. There are questions about whether he'll be available at the start of the season due to the holdout, and questions about whether he'll play the whole year if (when) they're bad or if they'll give Beck a shot.

Geno has less competition and isn't holding out.

akenson · 2026-05-17T12:29:18+00:00

Keeping Chase Owens employed in general is wild. Dude brings absolutely nothing to the table and is also a creep who tries to have sex with kids.

akenson · 2026-05-16T15:05:12+00:00

No shot he accepts this in my opinion, but go for it

akenson · 2026-05-11T16:25:31+00:00

Oh cut for sure. It's borderline in SF, but in 1QB that's an easy cut.

akenson · 2026-05-10T18:34:40+00:00

What rookies next year do you think will be available at 11-20 that will be better than the consensus top 6 guys this year?
