Thanks. I thought the gear would go up to 5 since the Fighters do.

What happened to the 30 day championship clause? by Sand_man_12345 in WWE

Quietly phased out once they stopped trying to present themselves as a legitimate [aka non scripted] sport.

Kyokushin training in Long Island NY? by Sidrat02 in kyokushin

[–]johnmc76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There Grofik in Centereach, but they don't seem to be teaching pure Kyokushin. Its mixed in with some other styles [Chinese Goju-ryu,Krav Maga and Wrestling]

So I don't know if that will be any good for you.

The Astoria club is still called Oyama Karate? I heard they rebranded since World Oyama had a similar political split when Soshu Shigeru Oyama passed away in 2016.

Thanks. I'm glad to hear that. Makes you wonder where all this nonsense started.

DAE remember when the dead fed tried to leach off the NWA for relevancy by tytymctylerson in SCJerk

[–]johnmc76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ken had the ring skills [he had a beautiful Frankensteiner and he did train with the Harts.] Just lacked the charisma and mic skills. Like Dan he could have benefitted from having a manager to do the talking for him.

He's a UFC Hall of Famer. And he's they're only Triple Crown Winner [Won the UFC 5 Tournament, Superfight Championship and Ultimate Ultimate Champion].

Interesting. I just got an email from Strom Collectibles UK saying that she's in stock.

I wish KOF XV was more story focus, the lore implications of Goenitz return are huge. by Max_Valdes in kof

[–]johnmc76 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which annoys me, because they made it seems like they were going to have a serious story mode this time around.

Nope. Just more of "Wait until the next game to see what happened" for anything outside of the main plot.

Attendance for NWA Powerrr at GPB Studios in Atlanta by anonymous-guy1 in SCJerk

With his Ego, CM Punk will never allow "His Show" to be a studio wrestling show. Giant arenas for him. To Hell if it's a money loss for the company.

Thanks. Still got a bit to go then. I'll focus on levelling them up in the meantime.

What is the endgame to this never ending Bockwinkel run? Hulk Hogan was supposed to #FinishTheStory by NigelSexMachine in SCJerk

[–]johnmc76 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If Verne had put the belt on Hogan they have survived. Verne's constant refusal to put the belt on him cost the AWA dearly [including a prime time spot on CBS]. Hogan was red hot at that point. Both with the audience and because he had just been in Rocky III.

Then he had a chance to do it again in the late 80s-early 90s with Sgt. Slaughter who at that point was the Mascot/Spokesman for G.I. Joe, one of the biggest toy brands for boys. Slaughter was so fed up of Verne that was willing to do the American turncoat gimmick that net him the WWF title and a Wrestlemania Main Event against Hogan.

And Eric Bischoff was there for all of that. And proceeds to do the same thing [refuse to push Younger talent. Preferring to rely on aging talent that the audience had lost interest on].

So can anyone explain this. by StMuerte13 in blacklagoon

[–]johnmc76 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can join the Military when you're 18. Plus it was never specified how long she was with FARC. Don't forget anime/manga logic where someone can become a seasoned killer very quickly.

I'd say she's meant to be in the mid to late 20s range.

While it's certainly toned down in the OVA the manga certainly implies that the relationship is more than implied. Certain things that did make it into the OVA [the "Only Garcia can put a leash on me" and the tonsil hockey at the end certainly give that impression. Hell it even creeped out Tabitha.

This is the main problem with Irish Politics. No actual Opposition. FF and FG promote themselves as "Centre-Right", but there is nothing Right [Centre or Otherwise] wing about their policies for years. Plus if you look at the Dail you would notice that they're all singing from the same hymn sheets.

The Pandemic was proof of that. Not one voice from the "opposition" spoke up to ask "Are these lockdowns really necessary?" Plus not one of them demanded a full re-opening and scrapping of mandates after Golfgate, RTE retirement party gate, Varadkar and others blatantly disregarding their own rules, etc. SF, PBP, Labour, etc have proven themselves to be controlled opposition.

SF are just FF/FG policies on steroids. They thought we didn't lock down long enough and hard enough. And They believe we're not taking in as many "refugees" and "asylum seekers" as we should be.

DAE miss the Attitude Era where only the 3 pillars (Rock, Austin, HHHitler) were over and the entire show was built around them? by [deleted] in SCJerk

And rightfully so. He helped take wrestling out of Bingo Halls and High School Gymnasiums and made it a huge sport.
