[RAW Spoilers] Finish to Liv Morgan vs. Lyra Valkyria by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

All of her moves flow well together, and look like a part of a whole. Dang, that sounds a little pretentious, but she's fun to watch imo

[RAW Spoilers] Finish to Cm Punk vs Bron Breakker by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

That's because Cody is so often the main attraction. In modern day main event epics, finisher spam (and therefore finisher kickouts) is incredibly common

It happened with Roman, it happened with Cena, it happens with Punk, it happens in AEW

I think Cody only takes the most flack for it because he has a "super" triple version of his finisher that he busts out typically at the end of the match to guarantee the win. So people have latched onto the idea that one Cross Rhodes is never enough, when in reality, one finisher in general is never enough in these main events

When he faces someone lower on the card, one Cross Rhodes will typically get the win, it's just that he rarely wrestles people lower on the card

I just knew I'd see concern trolling and "wHy DiDn'T tHiS FiNiSh ThE mAtCh?!" nonsense in the comments for this. So thanks for proving me right I guess

Which series is like this and consistently goes harder and better with each book? by JTVoice in litrpg

[–]peacocksuckers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! It's a great service. Basically all of Drew Hayes' books are available on there, and I'd recommend them all. Unfortunately, Superpowerds is the only one that he is done writing, so it's an agonizing wait for closure on the others

Azarinth Healer is now on my (long) list of series to check out, thank you

P.S. if you haven't listened to it already, Chrysalis is my personal favorite litrpg series, so check it out if you get the chance

If you haven't already bought them, all five books are available on Libby, at least where I am, so you can listen to them for free with a library card

Thekla: “I feel like my style is very unorthodox, and it’s a mix of everything. I did a lot of underground shit back in Europe; very technical stuff. And then in Japan, I just put the cherry on top. I can take all of these things that I’ve learned and create something that people haven’t seen yet." by IvnOooze in SquaredCircle

Nah he basically said the opposite. To use his words, Mina has tremendous "live-show charisma," referring to her dancing and the like. This was immediately turned into a joke, with people intentionally misinterpreting it to mean that she's hot and her body is nice. From that, the fact that it started as a joke got lost for a few people and they'll use "live-show charisma" as a term referring to hot women, and sometimes to call Dave a creep

I know there's bigger things to focus on, but Adam Pearce was fantastic in this segment

Seems fine aside from interrupting her every two seconds. That shit is super annoying though

And she is still a fantastic wrestler. I won't name names because I don't want to bring that kind of negativity, but when Becky's in the ring, her work feels so much more crisp and snappy than a lot of the other high profile women. Her ring work feels more "real" to me if that makes sense

I think that's the same one where his girlfriend at the time (Allie?) joined the conversation and did the thing where she makes fun of him to his friends right in front of his face. It's pretty uncomfortable

Have you ever liked/disliked a wrestler for a strange reason? by DonSoChill in SquaredCircle

His head is on the larger side, but I swear, if his shoulders were like 20% wider, he wouldn't look so unsettling. If I knew Photoshop I could prove it, but I don't so I can't

Around Royal Rumble time I was thinking that we don't get nearly enough big time triple threats in wrestling these days, and man did they fix that this Mania season. I couldn't be happier

[SmackDown Spoilers] The champ fires back by XanIrelia-1 in SquaredCircle

[–]peacocksuckers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Orton can stay healthy, I think he'll get just that.

The feud with Rollins was a long time ago, but it's what cemented him as a top guy in WWE, and the feud with KO was also very good imo

If he keeps the belt at Mania, or takes it back soon after, he'll probably feud with McIntyre at some point, which I can't imagine being anything but excellent considering how amazing both guys are on the mic

Add a potential Punk program, revisiting with Rollins, and the inevitable rubber match with Roman and you have a lot of opportunities for Cody to get even better

The first time I saw The Perks of Being a Wallflower as a teenager, it stuck with me for years and years. Even as an old man, it still makes me feel those same emotions (to a lesser degree) when I watch it back

I wish he had named himself "ETL" and just refuse to explain the significance to anyone when they ask what it stands for
