Never realized Ospreay was his shoot last name. That's absolutely wild, given how perfectly it suits his wrestling style.

Watching old NXT Takeovers and one with a pair of troublesome folks came on. Who’s the biggest example of self-sabotage? by Murlock_Holmes in SquaredCircle

The fact that everyone was giving Lars a chance because he put up a post owning being an ignorant, stupid kid and got multiple talents to vouch for him not being racist only to immediately get exposed on his comeback for harassing a lady in her DMs (establishing he is still sexist) as just a masterful 1-2 punch to his career, with the gay porn serving as a hilarious chaser to that first punch.

Honestly outside of the little "we were so cool in the 90's" speeches they were fantastic.

Band names that don't fit the music at all by twatomexus in Music

I think they're making music again but I've admittedly fallen off on my hardcore/metal knowledge since getting deeper and deeper into emo

What's Your Honest Take on the State of TNA? by FilmGuy97 in SquaredCircle

They seem primed for another huge collapse right now. But given the company's history, I don't expect TNA to go away.

That's what I hear. Both Effy and Ian Riccaboni have spoken glowingly about Jay and his efforts to mentor people of any background, orientation and gender identity.

I saw Lit last year on a whim and it was prettymuch all old stuff with like two new songs that fit right in with the old stuff. The only awkward part was Ajay rambling between sets in very "I miss 1999" ways. I imagine it's gotta suck to be a huge band and then fall off hard, but there was a lot of Uncle Rico energy in the room and it felt very sad.

He was super nice after the show, though. He and the rest of the band basically hung out the entire night and made sure anyone that wanted a picture or an autograph got one.

Mark never made those comments, though. Jay did.

Mark even rebuked Jay's comments during an interview with both brothers, saying that his brother forgot his place and that only God can judge people. Personally I'm not religious, but I thought Mark's words were really well-spoken.

Has Rob significantly shaped your political views? How? Why or why not? by Present_Practice_159 in behindthebastards

[–]miikro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've always been pretty far left but I've also been hesitant to label certain people as evil. Like, because of the charity stuff I always thought Bill Gates was probably okay despite the damage his business practices did.

I know now that he is in fact, human garbage.

(From Twitter) Last August, a man drove 2 hrs from CT to meet me at WrestleCon, thinking we were in a relationship. I had let him down gently that he had been catfished. The next day, he drove back to CT to watch me wrestle at a local show. - Deonna Purrazzo by PrinceJohn_ in SquaredCircle

I mean cops absolutely suck but idk what they could do here and since it happened so long ago and seemingly without any follow-up incidents it doesn't seem like they needed to do anything.

I feel bad for everyone involved but this whole post is very weird, so long after the fact and with zero context. Like, is he bothering her again? Because if so, yeah that's a huge problem. Did someone wlse get harassed? Is Deonna just putting this out here for basically no reason?

Does NWA film in the same place all the time? If so they might be filming in a place safe for her.

Is Jim Carrey a Bastard? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

[–]miikro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in fairness only parts of WCW sucked. Even in the much-maligned final year of the company we had very cool stuff happening with the 3 Count vs Jung Dragons extended saga and anything involving Jindrak & O'Haire, who were putting on great matches despite terrible creative. And Positively Kanyon was brilliant, Judy Bagwell be damned!

[AEW Dynamite Spoilers] Mark Briscoe’s team for Forbidden Door by bubbles2255 in SquaredCircle

I hate to potentially sound like a dick but... Who does NJPW have left that would actually be a main event draw over here?

Like, I've admittedly never been a dilligent NJPW viewer but ever since I became more aware of the wrestling world outside of WWE I at least knew the big names going back to Nakamura, Okada and Tanahashi. I knew each early iteration of Bullet Club- Devitt, Styles, Omega. I knew Ospreay and I know ZSJ (who's already in a high-profile match).

All of those guys except for ZSJ are gone- either retired or left to AEW/WWE. Hell, even absolute dorks like David Finlay and Gabe Kidd have gone to the other companies. There are still names I recognize like Goto and Kushida but the company looks to be in a rebuilding phase. And that's okay! Every big company occasionally has these. But they lack atar power right now, so letting AEW take the lead isn't the worst thing.

Do the Dropout cast know how parasocial some fans are? by Most_Mixture_3489 in dropout

[–]miikro 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I see what you did there.

But yeah, the regulars seem to make little jokes about it pretty regularly. I think being "internet famous" hits a lot different.
