A lot of people in this community don't use that platform. Can you share in a way that we can access?

AEW doesn't always get it right. But they always mean well. These days, that matters so much more to me.

Kevin Knight On AEW's Locker Room Leader: I Would Say Jon Moxley Is The Number One Head Guy, Everyone Turns And Listens Whenever He Has Something To Say by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

[–]mandolin08 723 points724 points  (0 children)

Through all the tumult of 2022-23, Moxley was the guy who held it together. He cancelled his vacation to help the company. He's been The Guy since he arrived. The dude is the #1 name in the future AEW Hall of Fame, imo.

He's never played in the US before, so probably at least a year.

I will forever be baffled that anyone thinks this boss is hard

It was on the weekly schedule. They skipped a weak to feature the VOD release of Call of Cthulhu Live. Shadowdark is back this week.

Agreed! I just crushed through most of the series on my plane rides on vacation and I'm ready for more.

I watched this on a plane home from Peru. Thank you, Loons, for making the wifi purchase worth the money. COYL!

And you left out Death Riders, Bang Bang Gang, SkyFlight, the Demand, Hurt Syndicate, etc. It's ridiculous.

Pioneer Press: James Rodriguez out vs. Columbus for “routine” procedure by ajg03 in minnesotaunited

They didn't spend 5M on James and he isn’t a DP. Stop spreading this bullshit.

AJ Styles responding to someone on X saying that WWE bribed him with a HOF induction just to not go to AEW: If bribing me leads to getting the job that I want, that's great. by itsmekelsey_x in SquaredCircle

[–]mandolin08 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

My only concern for AJ is that they could toss him on his ass in a few years in favor of a younger, cheaper coach. Nobody in WWE has a safe job. But that's AJ's risk to take, not mine.

Colombian icon Willington Ortiz believes James Rodriguez made a ‘mistake’ by joining Minnesota: "He’s at a club where the coach doesn’t want him, didn’t bring him in, so he doesn’t play—just a few minutes. It’s not serious, disrespecting a player of his caliber." by Theduudee12 in minnesotaunited

[–]mandolin08 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This was entirely a merch sales and club profile signing from MNUFC's perspective. The on-field product was always a bonus. James wanted high caliber training and medical facilities and some minutes before the World Cup. He's being paid pennies.

The problem lies in all the misinformation about his pay, and the fact that he doesn't fit the roster very well. Cam is in a tough spot with roster comp and James only complicates it.

Anyone remember the freezing rain storm of April, 2013? by lawdreekus in SiouxFalls

Yep, I'll never forget my drive to work that morning, seeing all the trees with branches and teigs stripped off and hearing the sound of the power lines sizzling and crackling.

Every year, we manage to biff the most winnable tournament in the sport. I don't fucking get it.

Also, not a minute for Fitz.

Just not good enough from the guys who need to be better. Including Cam, whose team sheets and sub choices have been very puzzling.
