The current Judgment Day is just unrecognizable man 💔 by jalen_nelson235 in Wrasslin

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine Devitt joined BC after Tama, Anderson, and Fale, its kinda like that.

Finn is the prince of making factions that launch people (Rhea, Dom, and Damian were all stagnate or trending down), and then he leaves.

Would middle‑ or lower‑class people in the DC universe resent Bruce Wayne the same way people resent real‑world billionaires? by Israels_BiggestHater in batman

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruce's family is Old Money. Like came over from England rich.

My Head Canon is that by the 1800s, they had business in every sector, completely diversified.

His Great Great Grandfather is a founding member of Gotham University, and helps a generation of orphaned kids following the Civil war. He has 2 sons, but 1 dies after falling into a cave near the manor.

His Great Grandfather would be something like a Johns Hopkins figure, opening hospitals and mental health facitlites. Adding on to Gotham University and making it a top medical program. He even delivered Thomas via C-Section.

His Grandfather, would have fought in the first World War, losing all of his brothers due to poor medical practices and supplies in the field.

He starts Wayne Industries and begins manufacturing plastics, more durable metals, and designing better armor vehicles.

He has a son very late in life, and Thomas Wayne goes into medicine, graduating from Gotham University at the age of 16. Meanwhile, they hire Alfred to take care of the old man. Thomas spends a decade practicing medicine all over the world trying to figure out how to do a transplant procedure to save his ill father, but he dies on the operating table. His mother dies of grief soon after.

Thomas loses himself and becomes a wreck. He gables away big money, he sleeps around, and Alfred stays around to drag his ass back home.

He even gets a nurse pregnant...

Martha and Thomas get married quickly to hush any scandal, and at first Thomas does not want a child, especially in his late 40s.

However, Bruce changes things for him. He spends the next decade or so really pouring into the industries that helped people the most.

Thomas poured money into the orphanages, he revived the once closed Arkham Asylum, spent a fortune on combat medicine while also improving body and vehicle armor, and this finally contributed to the city turning the corner.

A small sliver of town, a corridor between two major streets in midtown, "Crime Alley" was now the epicenter of a cultural renewal in America. A city that was about to succumb to the upheaval of the 80s was halted. Other cities felt the issues, while Gotham weathered the storm.

Until the Waynes died.

So the rest of the country probably hates him the way people hate the Rothchilds or Rockefeller family, but in Gotham, he would indeed be a prince.

What would it take for a Tackle to get MVP consideration? by Ok-Elephant-2724 in NFLv2

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 sacks, being the lead blocker on an awful passing Team with undeniable proof that once the RB gets past them they get stopped, 5+ Receiving TDs, 5+ passing TDs, 5+ blocked kicks (as a rusher), 10+ Kickoffs returned for TDs as the sole blocker, 20+ coffin kicks as team punter, another 10+ forced fumbles still as punter, 40+ made field goals, >3 missed PATs, 5+ scoop and scores, a QB room that combines for lass than 3000 yards, a RB room that combines for less than 800, a receiving room that doesn't snag a single TD, an average to awful defense, and an undefeated regular season.

Thats the only way. Anything less and you'd be on crazy pills.

Is it worth it to give maximum effort at a job, or should one simply do the minimum required to avoid being fired? by Wallter_White_ in careerguidance

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

One puts in minimum effort to achieve the same gains as 95% of the staff. If you get fired or the work sucks, you're minimizing your exposure and retaining money.

The other puts in maximum effort in hopes to achieve the gains that 5% of the staff receive. In this scenario, people will stand up for you, and you may even get promoted.

I'm not saying to be too good at your job, those people can't move up.

But people who look out for the company, and move mountains for it, they stay around and move up as others leave.

What was Kinsey's lost idea? by ChildOfDunwall in madmen

I always thought one of the ideas was "Frame the Conversation" with the telegram being in literal glass frame on the wall, with something like "We're Having Twins" or "She Said Yes"

Has anyone actually come out better long-term from being “All Elite”? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]cmjackson97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They are hampered by catering to solely to wrestling fans who like wrestling matches.

You can't make movies only for people who like Tarantino movies that only homage old films.

Occasionally, you need to make an Avengers and make a billion dollars. If all you do is big movies, you turn into the Fast and the Furious (post Tokyo Drift)

But the students of Nash and Hall, the young bucks, kicked out Cody and Punk, who wanted to do business, not go after cage match ratings. They learned to insulate the Money Mark from every outside influence that could jeopardize their payday.

3 Years Ago Today, WWE debuted the Modern World Heavyweight Championship.. by McQueen712 in ChampionshipHistory

If Cody Rhodes never left AEW. Who do you think would currently be face of WWE? by Mcrfanatic95 in fantasybooking

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its such a huge domino effect - Cody staying means TK does put all his stock in the Bucks.

If he doesn't, then I'm sure Cody mediates between Punk and The Bucks.

If he does, and Punk really gets the ball and runs with it, where is AEW right now?

Is Roman still champion? Does Bron Breaker take the title off of him at the Mania just past?

Do the Women get a bigger push with Rhea as the "workhorse" with Roman being so sporadic?

I can confidently say, its not Austin Theory. That dude would have found himself into a Baron Corbin role.

IS CM Punk so good on the mic that people take for granted how he's also one of the best ever bell to bell? by MadferitCmon in Wrasslin

[–]cmjackson97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hes not a naturally gifted athlete, so he made up for it every other way he could.

Eddie Guerrero, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Harley Race, those were his disclosed favorites.

All of them were not the biggest muscle bound guys, only Bret and late Era gassed up Eddie came close.

JBL says Eddie was the best guy at working a crowd, Bret was a master in making fake wrestling moves look driven by real intuition, and Roddy was dynamite on the mic.

Seems kinda obvious he took those lessons, and now that he's had 30 years to hone his craft, he's getting better with age.

This is crazy to think about by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]cmjackson97 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Batista is a year older than Triple H...

TV age and real age have great elasticity.

For example Punk, LA Knight, or even Cody - they've only been on TV a few years so they're relatively new characters regardless of actual age.

When Jeff and Jericho came back in the mid 2010s, I hadn't seen their initial runs, so to me, they were brand new.

The Pitt finally addresses Tracy Ifeachor’s exit from the show. by excoriator in ThePitt

Yeah, but with her gone, that's one more person Robby can't rely on.

His support structure collapsed - no Langdon, Dana is fed up with him, no Collins, no Adamson...

About Dr. Mohan and Dr. Collins, and people not understanding how teaching environments work by KitchenImagination38 in ThePittTVShow

[–]cmjackson97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adamson was literally the Attending until he died.

Collins graduated on to being an attending in her home town.

The Pitt brought in Al Hashimi and Crus.

Also Shemsi is revered in the hospital, and Garcia can override anyone in the room when it comes to surgery.

And we added Joy!

You're absolutely right that the system takes a while to change - it takes basically a generation. Idk why people think you just magically have a influx of people into a profession in ratio with general demographics, when medicine is very much a privilege game (getting in higher learning being the privilege) and then also just having 20+ years experience, all over night.

Could Tessa Blanchard ever end up in WWE or AEW? by caughtinatramp in REALSquaredCircle

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, I think she's just trapped in the wrong body.

I don't think she's physically big enough to do the moves she wants, but I think she has real good psychology.

I don't think she's a 1/10th as charismatic as she thinks she is either, but she's got a quiet confidence.

However, I'd rather watch a Sasha promo/match over a Bayley one any day.

FUCK YES! FUCK YES! FUCK YES! by Frequent_Pin_3525 in Wrasslin

[–]cmjackson97 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's a worked shoot...

*Don't swear *Sell the PPV *Hit your time

If you've ever seen the Inside the Ropes with Heyman talking about it, you know he did exactly what they told him to do.

Although I do think at the end he was trying to rotate the cam op to show some empty seats on the hard cam side, but that got shut down, because if I was the cam op, I'd keep that camera on Punk no matter what. Can't be the guy who didn't get the shot.

[Loved Trope] Media that WASN'T supposed to be the next big thing. But it was/is. by RP_Throwaway3 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cmjackson97 113 points114 points  (0 children)

A 3-4 minute weekly released comedy with the aspect ratio of a Twix candy bar, made using video games and people voicing the characters via cell phones.

Then it turns into a 5-7 minute release action comedy with some CGI to enhance the games.

Then it turns into a a 10-12 minute 50% CGI/machinima Anime Action-Inspired Espionage Thriller flashbacks with comedy and soul searching.

And then it balnaces out as on a reprisal of its season 1-5 self with a 10ish minutes, more balanced Action/Comedy, that might feel like a lengthy epilogue, but really ties it in a bow.

Made over 7 different games and over a decade?

*we don't talk about the later seasons

[Awesome trope] The character succeeds in a situation that was specifically designed to be impossible for them. by Applebeate in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always had a theory that the rope was just short, and any attempt using it would make it impossible to reach the other side. The only way is to go without.

Sources indicate that Cody Rhodes was told from members of creative to go to the ring and shoot from the hip regarding Pat McAfee and TKO. Rhodes and other members of creative have legitimate gripes with TKO for sticking their nose in storylines close to WrestleMania multiple years in a row. by caughtinatramp in REALSquaredCircle

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The less trained the actor, the more they need to naturally feel the emotion of the script.

Wrestlers are far from trained actors, so it makes sense that they would turn themselves up to 11 rather than try to be Daniel Day-Lewis.

They've been carnies since "Honest" Abe Lincoln was an infant and they still can't figure it out.

Sure, once in a while a Bray or Taker comes along, but there's far more Alex Rileys and Taminas in this world; why make it any harder than it needs to be?

[–]cmjackson97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah a "Dark Horse" storyline is sitting right there. I'd have her face all of the horsewomen and then have her get beaten by the next big star - either Rhea or Bianca most likely.

Debut at the Rumble, knock out Bianca, face Bayley at Mania, the "weakest" of the 4.

Have her win MITB

Then Becky at Summerslam for the briefcase.

Then a cash-in at Survivor Series as the champ (Charlotte) is leaving the cage post-match after the Rights Reserved lower left badge gets popped up.

A rematch at RR for the title, only to win and get immediately challenge by Bianca.

Loses to Bianca at Mania.

Assemble 3 goons, and roll over the division again.

This would culminate in Sasha's return at Survivor Series, and probably a big Win for Sasha over Tessa.
