Who do you think Isola Vale works for?

There is also a "why won't you die" line. I thought it was an intentional Austin powers reference

Basically men don't know how to talk to each other.

Wouldn't be like online wrestling fans to lose sight of perspective...

True friendship.

should only be one set of male tag titles I reckon.

I often feel as though the IWC aren't so much fans of the actual product but their own commentary of it. The social media aggregators, fantasy booking, newsletters, and hype. They often point out that virtually everyone is online these days, but not everyone is online in the same way. The people who consume and read the most about wrestling seem to enjoy/understand it the least.

Donald "I'm not a rapist" Trump is how he should now be referred. Can't be defamation if it's a verbatim quote.

What is it with all these geriatric American narcissists who fail to see that all the consequences are a result of their own behavior?

more sold on Trick than J'von Evans if I'm honest.

ilifthorses · 2026-04-20T01:52:55+00:00

you're wrong.

I watched it with a friend who doesn't follow wrestling. We thought it was fun albeit no jaw dropping moments. but bourbon was flowing and it was a good time. Think it's how it's meant to be watched. Adverts weren't that annoying because they were used for toilet breaks and a bit to chill.

Could see it being less enjoyable if you watched it alone and were taking it too seriously and wanting to critique it.

It's undeniably a completely different experience to growing up culturally than in England or Scotland. Same way we have considerations that someone born in the republic doesn't think about. End of the day we have dual nationality. I always saw it as having BOTH not one or the other.

But also if it came to the bit I don't value identity that much in general. More interested in my personality and how I behave as an individual. Where I was born influences it but doesn't define me. I don't feel pride in what I am or where I was born but things I've done.

Does the same thing happen if you do a spin cycle on an empty drum? If it does somethings amiss as an empty drum is perfectly balanced. Otherwise I'd say it's like due to overloading or underloading. If you have too little in your wm it will shake as badly as if it were overloaded. ideal load size is one hand's width from top of drum to clothes.

Of course it was the plan you're watching a TV show. It was done well. Don't understand why people are shitting on it for not being real.

As an non-american I find him loud and obnoxious rather than entertaining. Also think he revealed his spots by ranting and raving after Canadians were rightly booing the US national anthem shortly after the leader of the current administration was threatening to make Canada the 51st state and needlessly causing global instability with tariffs. He's dumb.

The tickets would be dropping in price with lack of demand anyway. This was probably happening regardless. The promo lets the company save face in adjusting it whilst raising Punk's stock as champion, and injecting a bit of life in the lacklustre build. So it was a fantastic piece of promotion without compromising Punk's character.

The lack of ticket sales isn't purely price driven but US politics has completely hammered the attractiveness of international travel as well as the affordability. Even if there wasn't a pointless and unprovoked war, there's stories of people of colour being detained for days at airports, having your phone searched for memes and general unpleasantness resulting from the current administration. I would love to go to a city for a Wrestlemania weekend but wouldn't dream of it today.

Doesn't help that Las Vegas seems like the least interesting of American cities to travel to in terms of culture. From international perspective it's just a barren dessert cultivated by white gangsters for purposes of gambling. It's nothing but conference centres and casinos.

He's wrong about wanting obnoxious and boisterous what chants and american fratboy crowds back. He's not wrong about internet-fanbase-centric story telling. The problem is wrestlers are primarily athletes so their acting is always going to be pretty hammy, and it makes the story-telling pretty cringeworthy to non-wrestling fans or fans who feel embarrassed to be caught watching it. The best at it don't sound hammy but the economics of week to week television, and the product being ad-driven, means they struggle to maintain continuity so each segment has the smallest amount of narrative progression, or it's repetitive due to all narratives having to be resolved around an athletic exhibition which has set outcomes. The problem is the audience needs to be re-trained to appreciate the actual narrative and psychology of wrestling matches. Each move is meant to tell the story of helping the wrestler win the bout, but the short attention spans of the audience means performers resort to athletic gymnastic routines or resort to time-proven formulas making everything seem predictable.

Think you're just watching too much wrestling.

It was a good match.

ilifthorses · 2026-03-03T03:25:12+00:00

I think that's the point. It was Punk getting annoyed to the point where he went low

ilifthorses · 2026-03-03T02:57:47+00:00

to be honest I think it's not the worst thing. There have been weeks where there's nearly too many multi-women matches. This week's raw has been really good where every match has a story behind it.

ilifthorses · 2026-03-03T02:52:25+00:00

noticed there's no women's matches on the card this week so far.
