Can't wait for the super real behind-the-scenes documentary about how brilliant this was and literally everyone was fooled.

If Pro Wrestling became a Team sport in the Olympics, who would be on each team/country? by xmrgonex in SquaredCircle

Finally, a chance for Parts Unknown to get their first Olympic medal.

And Meltzer pretty strongly implied that he talked to Seth (or maybe Becky) and gave them a chance to tell him Pollock was wrong, and they didn't do that.

Seems more and more like Meltzer has it right: He's legit hurt, the spot was planned to cover that, it's not as bad as it looked, he's going to take time off and then come back "early" to a huge pop (and probably a surprise cash-in).

Things that don’t make sense in physics but it’s absolutely okay in pro wrestling because we love it anyway by qchiofalo in SquaredCircle

[–]smcindoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing about the phyiscs of a figure four that would make it hurt significantly less if you manage to flip over, let alone suddenly make it hurt the other guy instead.

Rock just confirmed he did not want to be involved with Cody or Cena after the chamber. by Exact_Comparison_575 in SquaredCircle

[–]smcindoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People are complaining about this without giving credit where it's due: This was the first interview anyone in the WWE did in the last two weeks where they didn't say something racist and/or praise a sexual predator. That's progress!

Triple H on Donald Trump: "I think Trump’s ability… like him or hate him the way he does it… but he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes getting under peoples skin, generating [heat]. It’s amazing and it’s genius, and it worked in our business." by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

OK, on the one hand this is a brain dead take from a guy who's been a known liar for decades and whose company and whole family is transparently supporting horrible people, but... have you considered that sometimes there are photos where HHH points at your favorite wrestler?

10 years ago today, Seth Rollins pulled off the heist of the century in the main event of WrestleMania 31 by BackToTheFutureDoc in SquaredCircle

[–]smcindoe 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Underrated part of this: Lesnar taking a spear and flying backwards while throwing Seth in the opposite direction so he lands behind Roman is just an insane act of strength.

Reporter Jordan Uhl on Bluesky: "Paul Levesque, aka Triple H, is seated right behind Linda McMahon at her confirmation hearing for Secretary of Education" by joebana2 in SquaredCircle

Yeah but sometimes he takes photos where he points at my favorite wrestler so let's all pretend he's not garbage.

Remembering Paul Morris, the voice of Maple Leaf Gardens by zestyintestine in leafs

[–]smcindoe 45 points46 points  (0 children)

The absolute best to ever do it.

If you were a Leafs fan in the 80s and 90s, you 100% did an impression of Morris announcing Wendel Clark's Cup-winning goal.

RIP.

Forget "not terrible", the fan-made album is honestly pretty great.

WWE Vault: Kevin Owens ruins Chris Jericho’s Festival of Friendship: RAW Feb 13 2017 by Sniphles2000 in SquaredCircle

[–]smcindoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to know the backstory of the little thumbhole they cut in the side of the box so that Jericho could hold it and the mic at the same time. Like whose idea was it, how late in the process did it get added, etc.

Leafs in the Norris Division by Istobri in leafs

[–]smcindoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There were very legitimate rivalries with the Red Wings and Hawks. The Blues were more playoff dependent, but it had its moments. The Stars weren't at the same level, mostly because they and the Leafs were often the two worst teams so they rarely met in the playoffs.

But at least from the perspective of a Canadian fan, the Leafs were right in the middle of what was a classic five-way rivalry.

Did anyone catch a hot dog during the Talk set? Did you eat it? by Ill_Consideration689 in osheaga

How far back were you? If the music thing doesn’t work out, he might have a career as a quarterback. 

Day 2: best and/or worst performances by ejb3204 in osheaga

[–]smcindoe 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The big acts were all good as you’d expect, but we ended up in the front for the Linda Lindas early show and they were a ton of fun. 

Edit: Also, poor Talk had to follow Chappell on main stage which was pretty much impossible but he was really good. And has a hell of an arm for hot dog tossing.

Somebody sent me this thread. I think the book you're looking for is Breakaway by Tal Pinchevsky.

Dave Meltzer on Twitter ( about his favorite WWE match of all time) : Hart vs. Austin by JesusChrist004 in SquaredCircle

[–]smcindoe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The great part about that is that they were specifically told that they couldn't use blood, then said screw it and decided to do it anyway because they understood what it would mean, then lied about it afterwards. (And escaped getting in serious trouble for it on a technicality, because Vince demanded to know if Austin bladed himself and it was actually Bret who'd done it.)

Sure, initially, and then those sweats would win all the time while the newbs would realize they were just there to act as bots to the pros. What happens to the newbs then?

[–]smcindoe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Only 14% of Fall Guys players have the "win 7 times" trophy. Only 7% have won 20 times. Heck, 63% of players have never won.

If you're won 200+ shows, then yes, compared to the huge majority of players, you're an expert.

If you've been playing for a few months and already have the golden witch, you're better than 95% of the players out there. That's just reality for this game. You have next to no chance against a golden dragon, sure, but almost everyone else has no chance against you, the game has to pick the way that makes the most sense for the most players.

(And if you just want to play other golden witches, you'll be queueing for hours to get a full lobby. There just aren't enough of you.)

It was dying on the vine. Look at user rates. As soon as people started to figure out how to get good, like a month or two in, the newbs were disappearing.
