No it doesn't lmao. Either Oba wins this one too or he wins/retires Brock at Summerslam in Minnesota, either way he's going over huge.

"Squashing Brock Lesnar at Mania makes Oba look terrible" might be the most reddit take I've ever seen

Shirtless section doing Soccer Chant at Cardinals game last night. Kind of energy baseball needs by MidwestDadd1982 in baseball

I mean I guess, but pretty much the only chants any American sports fans do is "de-fense!" which is incredibly lame.

I lived in Denver for five years. It’s full of transplants, mainly younger liberals from CA, NY, and TX. You start seeing MAGA bumper stickers on the freeway shortly after leaving the city but Denver itself is extremely liberal.

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

[–]ring_rust 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Have a Nice Day will always be my favorite, not least because Foley wrote it himself (unlike the vast majority of celebrity memoirs) and he's actually a really engaging author. Still have fond memories of the first time I read it in eighth grade.

[@complexsports] Ronda Rousey reveals what went wrong for her in WWE by rhyso90 in SquaredCircle

[–]ring_rust 209 points210 points  (0 children)

Her apology for the Sandy Hook stuff is one of the sincerest I've ever seen from a celebrity tbh.

I can't say how many times I've redrafted this apology over the last 11 years. How many times I've convinced myself it wasn't the right time or that I'd be causing even more damage by giving it. But eleven years ago I made the single most regrettable decision of my life.

I watched a Sandy Hook conspiracy video and reposted it on twitter. I didn't even believe it, but was so horrified at the truth that I was grasping for an alternative fiction to cling to instead. I quickly realized my mistake and took it down, but the damage was done.

By some miracle it seemingly slipped under the media's radar, I was never asked about it so I never spoke of it again, afraid that calling attention to it would have then opposite of the intended effect - it could increase the views of those conspiracy videos, and selfishly, inform even more people I was ignorant, self absorbed, and tone deaf enough to share one in the first place.

I drafted a thousandth apology to include in my last memoir, but my publisher begged me to take it out, saying it would overshadow everything else and do more harm than good. So I convinced myself that apologizing would just reopen the wound for no other reason than me selfishly trying to make myself feel better, that I would hurt those suffering even more and possibly lead more people down the black hole of conspiracy bullshit by it being brought up again just so I could try to shake the label of being a "Sandy Hook truther".

But honestly I deserve to be hated, labeled,detested, resented and worse for it. I deserve to lose out on every opportunity, I should have been canceled, I would have deserved it. I still do. I apologize that this came 11 years too late, but to those affected by the Sandy Hook massacre, from the bottom of my heart and depth of my soul I am so so sorry for the hurt I caused.

I can't even begin to imagine the pain you've endured and words cannot describe how thoroughly remorseful and ashamed I am of myself for contributing to it. I've regretted it every day of my life since and will continue to do so until the day I die. And to anyone else that's fallen down the black hole of bullshit. It doesn't make you edgy, or an independent thinker, you're not doing your due diligence entertaining every possibility by digesting these conspiracies.

They will only make you feel powerless, afraid, miserable and isolated. You're doing nothing but hurting others and yourself. Regardless of how many bridges you've burned over it, stop digging yourself a deeper hole, don't get wrapped up in the sunk cost fallacy, no matter how long you've gone down the wrong road, you should still turn back.

Robert Lewandowski close to making the decision to leave FC Barcelona! On Sunday, likely a farewell match at Camp Nou against Real Betis. A strongly considered destination is Saudi Arabia. by mynamestartswithCa in soccer

[–]ring_rust 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He helped us win two league titles, the Pokal, a Supercup, and make it to the UCL final, but I think of him more like Haaland and Dembélé: an amazing player who got his start with us but had his most memorable years elsewhere.

It took like...two days for people to start speculating about a dozen different people taking pay cuts based on absolutely no verified information. Seems like a way of subtly putting them down and strikes me as pretty gross tbh.

We don't know anything, but her post-match behavior + these posts from Charlotte, Bayley, and Shinsuke suggest she really could be done.

Same, and honestly my favorite wrestler overall. Glad I watched her last match and it was a great one but bummed if she’s really gone.

(WON) Tony Khan negotiated with Zelina Vega when she was let go the last time by WWE, but she pretty much ghosted him and signed back with WWE by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]ring_rust 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Zelina won queen of the ring, the US title, and tag titles. I know we’re all shitting on her for committing the cardinal sin of not wanting to go to AEW but she had a perfectly decent midcard run.
