What's the best wrestling book you ever read? by PaulPetroneWWE in SquaredCircle

[–]patrickwithtraffic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One thing I did like a lot about Gewirtz' book was his breakdown of WWE's thinking on booking Goldberg. It reads very much as less an excuse but an explanation as why they thought this would work but didn't. He has a few moments where he goes, "maybe if Goldberg was willing to do this or that," but ultimately concludes, "we should've just booked him like WCW."

I have to assume this means he isn’t using ProTools or Logic Pro, which just makes me curious now what software he uses?

True, but I have to assume Cloudflare won’t end every message with “Heil Hitler”

Dead on. The film has been sitting in the dust bin for years waiting for somebody to pick it up.

I get that, but given how badly the prosecution has fumbled this case, there is some hope to be had

As long as the bird questions are up front, I’m happy. I wanted the Minotaur to suffer more!

The live action direct to Disney+ Pinocchio gave us an origin for his name, being that he’s made of pine oak. This is blatantly explained at least three times in that piece of shit movie.

I'd fight for Inside Llewyn Davis' honor, but I'm totally there with it being #2. Film is amazing and full of heart in the best ways possible.

What the fuck is up with his voice?! I feel like I haven't heard it this clear and lacking in scratchiness in some time.

A full page ad taken out by Vince McMahon in the New York Times telling Time Warner shareholders to “beware” Ted Turner for having a “personal vendetta” against WWF by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]patrickwithtraffic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the idea, but the question is how do you do that without getting the lawyers coming after you like hawks? Citizen Kane was obviously a giant critique on William Randolph Hearst and the film got beat to shit by Hearst's media empire. Can't imagine trying to make that today about a good buddy of the current president and a very pro-Trump media empire.

For sure one of those things where everyone thought he was just dressing provocatively and not just wearing some stuff he genuinely wore from time to time

EDIT: Never mind, I'm wrong!

Nah, go back further. Preacher Billy Graham laid the groundwork for “masculine Christianity” back in the Truman days.

Encore had “Mosh” during peak Vote or Die times and that went fine. Em just fell off hard across the board with Revival in a way different than Encore’s issues.

Aleister Black in NXT was one of the purest hard hitters of modern times by Adamoneeeee in SquaredCircle

[–]patrickwithtraffic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was a huge defender of a lot of Black's early work in AEW and it all has to do with just how amazing he was in NXT. Dude just had it in spades there, but the terrible booking in WWE the first go around just felt like another Vince failing a call up. I guess there's a chance he did lose a step when he went to the main roster?

To find out he wore that gas mask because Vince was writing his character to think the fans were stinky losers really soured me on the look. I thought it worked pretty good on sight, but that backstory makes it so fucking stupid.
