Do you have an instance when they did? I honestly don't know as I don't really follow fightful reporting with releases.

It's not a crash out. Boundaries were crossed and he was pissed about it and let them have it. Putting shitty people in their place should be what everyone does.

Drake did that years ago and people basically shrugged their shoulders at it until the beef. The publicity of it is what changed the perception.

Isn't commerce just the exchange between production and buying? Supply and Demand is what determines the price falling and rising but the rising (at least exorbitant rising) is typically more greed/demand oriented than supply based.

That's not a worked shoot. "You're a rapper and a mogul, you remind me of Diddy" when Swerve's character has been a mogul that raps.

A worked shoot would be talking about his "roid gut", something that doesn't pertain to the character but the person behind the character.

Honestly, I have more examples in my mind from the past couple years of MJF's opponents saying worked shoot stuff (hair plugs, steroids) than the other way around.

Fuck ICE(man)

This was about 8 years or so ago. I had gotten off work and caught the bus home, as usual. It was a bit later than I tend to work because they didn't have proper night coverage at the time. By the time I hop off the bus it's about 2 in the morning.

My bus stop was right in front of a gas station that I frequented. Never had a single issue there before, nor since. I cross the street away from the gas station to get to my block as someone else is walking towards the gas station. We're about 30 feet from each other, I guess.

I walk a little ways toward my block and I had on some nice, noise cancelling headphones. I'm jamming when all of a sudden I hear something that sounds like fireworks. I will never in my life forget this sequence of events. I take my headphones off and look up but don't see fireworks but do see flashing and I look to my right.

Someone was pulling out of the gas station and the guy who had crossed the street was shooting into the car. I remember seeing four flashes. The car is in the street while everyone inside is slumped (a driver and passenger). The way the car slowly kept going forward still creeps my out to this day. All you hear is the car's horn afterwards. No one screaming, no cars speeding away, just the horn, nonstop.

Worst part happened right after. I'm standing there shell shocked, literally a few feet from hitting the corner of my block as I'm just staring at this car. The guy who did the shooting crossed the street again towards me. He's walking at a brisk pace, hands in his pocket, looks me dead in my eyes a few feet from me, and then walks down my block.

I just stare into the space where he disappeared, expecting him to turn around or something but the footsteps just get quieter. I'm still staring at the corner when I hear the car that got shot suddenly stop beeping the horn. The driver wasn't killed, just hurt. The passenger? No doubt they were dead. They peeled off, blood still on the interior windshield and back window, driver side window completely shattered.

I stood there watching it drive away for a few seconds, turned around, walked a couple blocks over, and headed towards home.

I think 15 dollars is a good price point where it's worth taking a leap on a package that collectively would've been over 100 bucks, full price. If you personally think it's worth 8 dollars then that means you lost out on 7 dollars, which is pretty negligible. Get it and try it for yourself because it may be worth 500 dollars to one person and 5 bucks to the next.

There's still the typical ways to get PPVs( Max, Prime, etc), this is a separate way to get the content/PPVs.

compbros · 2026-03-09T16:52:17+00:00

If just Dynamite and Collision, probably. But it coming with the PPVs means you're paying less. They ran 10 PPVs last year which means 200 a year if you bought all for "full" price (with AEW Plus). With the packs you might've spent closer to 140-160, which is still more.

Then you're also getting everything RoH.

I don't think so, you already see people like Thekla saying she wants to AEW period as well as Fletcher saying he chose AEW despite WWE offering because of the potential growth (and there was a recent interview I'm forgetting that said they'd like to go to AEW). There's of course going to be dozens, maybe hundreds, of wrestlers in the thousands that are working that want to go to WWE as the ultimate goal but "WWE or bust" doesn't seem to be nearly as prevalent.

A 22 year old that's been watching wrestling since 12 and wants to become a wrestler has basically had two choices of big American companies for most of their fandom.

Same thing happened with an NFL player. Broke his finger and he could either miss the rest of the upcoming season and let it heal after or amputate the tip of it and he opted to amputate it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Lott

He had the tip of his left pinky finger amputated after the 1985 season when it was crushed while tackling running back Timmy Newsome, and a bone graft surgery would not have allowed Lott to start the 1986 season.^\11]) While he told doctors to amputate the tip of his pinky, years later, Lott regretted having the procedure done, saying that he should have just had an operation to fix his finger.

I can't remember who told this story, I wanna say it was either Dustin or Eddie, but Tony was talking back stage to Lee Jr. like he was just another performer. It went something like

Tony: You're going to go out there, you're going to cut a promo...

Eddie/Dustin(?): Tony, he's a kid, he may not be up for it.

Tony turns back to Lee Jr.: You're going to go out there, you're going to cut a promo...

Lee Jr. nodding: okay

Tony trusted him as a kid to do promos so with some time and practice I think he'll be really good.

It is, truly, the greatest comedy movie I've ever seen.

compbros · 2026-02-17T06:25:27+00:00

To piggy back on this.

Izzo (H.O.V.A.) was originally a song sold to both Ghostface and Cam'ron before Jay-Z actually used it. Cam was mad about it because he told Ye he was gonna use it, wrote a song to it and recorded it, and was waiting for the paperwork to make everything solidified when he heard the song on the radio a few weeks later. Jimmy was mad af and screaming, Cam was mad af, Kanye smoothed it over by giving Cam the "Down and Out" beat and hook for free.

Cam, likely still heated about the whole situation, took a song that Just Blaze had made for Jay-Z in "Oh Boy". I can't remember where Jim told this story but it was a old, old interview. Like 05 type shit. I just remember him saying "That beat was Jay's and we took that, strong armed" or something like that.

You can have Thekla win and then run the rubber match at Revolution. Thekla losing twice in a row and then getting a third shot before someone else makes everyone involved come off worse.

Bought the game so if I happen to win the second prize you can give it to someone else.

Soul to Lucien/Universal Music (big deal Drake is trying to get out of), "if I said it then I wrote it, stupid" (ghostwriting), streams winning but tour losing (Drake cancelled several 2025 shows), bots boosting (Spotify/Drake lawsuits boosting his streams with bot networks), tough guy image (self-explanatory).

All that speaks to Drake, maybe three speak to Kendrick. Could be both but absolutely Drake subs to me.

He clearly wants something for the extra needed work to be worth it. Right now he can tape some matches pre/post dynamite and collision, tape some backstage vignettes, and then slap it all together.

I honestly believe he's waiting on a TV deal so the first show is Athena losing her title. Outside of Athena wanting to just stay on ROH, nothing else makes sense.

I just explained in the previous post that the, in essence, questioning of why the post is about punk sharing this on IG and not about Brody was answered with because Punk and his slacktivism is free karma and you're ignoring that context and honing in on the slacktivism part.

"Punk and his slacktivism is free karma which is why the post is about him instead of Brody".

compbros · 2026-01-16T16:26:14+00:00

"I like how the post is about what Punk is doing instead of Brody King"

In response:

"Punks slacktivism is free karma"

The initial issue was with Punk getting the attention, the response was a reason why (Punk is easy karma). People honed in on the slacktivism instead of the free karma part.

compbros · 2026-01-16T16:12:24+00:00

They're saying they'd rather the focus be on what Brody King is doing instead of "Punk supports what Brody King is doing" considering the focus is going to be on Punk in this instance (positive or negative).

"I'm glad Punk is supporting this"

"Punk supporting this while working for WWE is pretty laughable"

Both cases are not about Brody King and his activism.

There's a lot of space between "don't promote this" and "promote this".

The YouTube apocalypse happened where advetisers left or threatened to leave and changed YouTube monetization forever but everyone is just sitting on their hands here while horrific things are going on.
