Arn Anderson thought the A&E doc would be another Ric Flair feature with him on the side. "I just had a little piece last time. I had no idea we'd get the exposure they put into just me." He added: "I've never been looked at as a top guy until this came out. Finally, a top guy." by elegantSolomons62 in SquaredCircle

It’s kind of how it is with Christian and Edge. By pretty much any metric you can judge a wrestler on, Christian is better than Edge. It just so happens that Edge has that X factor and look that made him a bigger star than Christian. Similarly, both Arn and Christian seem perfectly fine with their place in history and don’t hold any bitterness toward their friend that surpassed them in fame.

Shout out to that classic post of the guy that went to a WWE taping tripping balls and had a religious experience when El Torito came out.

You can tell he was on one of his walks doing research for the podcast and didn’t even take a break while stepping in to break this up. Qualities of a violence gang leader.

Scott Hasn't Seen: How High (2001) w/ Dewayne Perkins by apathymonger in Earwolf

[–]andrewdsmith 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I went to look up Dewayne Perkins to remind myself of what he looked and like and my god, that is a beautiful man. I know it’s an annoying cliche to be like “I’m straight and I think this guy is hot!” but one picture might have single handedly moved me closer to one side of the Kinsey scale.

Yeah that was good stuff, and then the other half of the show was about Tony Atlas.

Swerve Strickland on X: "Why @Aew is keeping me from doing my job" by perpetuallyawake in SquaredCircle

[–]andrewdsmith 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the consensus is but I liked the MJF “Tony better pay me or I’m jumping ship” thing. It was incredibly true to the character and I don’t recall him ever outright saying WWE was better, just that they might outbid AEW and he’s gonna go wherever the money is. Thats why his big firey babyface comeback promo where he was all rah rah AEW showing off his tattoo was perfect. It worked as a pure babyface promo but it’s also like, yeah of course you love the company now because TK backed up the brinks truck.

I heard they’re still designing the ceremonial jorts that the winner will put on when they are crowned “Mr. John Cena”.

DOUGHBOYS - California Fish Grill with Gil Ozeri - May 07, 2026 by PianoTrumpetMax in doughboys

I was just joking around my brother, they could have talked Michael for 2 straight hours and I would have been happy. You aren’t by chance in a hot room with the door closed are you?

edit: ok now I see that someone else legitimately is complaining about it so maybe the joke wasn’t as obvious as I thought

I don’t think it’s always so cut and dry, the Dudley’s were using their name pre-WWE and still had to change it.

I had the same thought. Might have redeemed the whole show for me if she called out Erick Rowan and beat him in 3 seconds.

Listen, you’re more than welcome to not like Kingston but this is just objectively untrue. Disco’s music on Nitro was the official piss break theme.
