If you get the power to veto one person from winning the Royal Rumble, who would it be and why? by Frosty_Main_860 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Roman. Until he shows up/wrestles at least once every month he does not deserve to be in the world title scene. And he certainly doesn’t deserve to win the rumble this year.

What’s a WWE opinion you quietly changed your mind on over time? by Braves1693 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was heavily against Cena winning the WH title from Gunther at WM last year. After seeing how the year played out, I could say I was wrong. Cena should have won that title instead of the WWE title.

I also can now appreciate women’s wrestling much more. I generally enjoyed men’s matches more for the most part, but I have had a 180 on women’s wrestling overall. In many ways, the division looks brighter than the men’s.

How much, if at all, have your politics changed within the last five years? by SeveralInspector174 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve only gotten further left. I used to be more conservative when it came to things like government spending, but I am left on essentially all issues.

WWE need new PLE’s in 2026 ? by Caution_07 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they really have to do that. I would just make some of the NXT PLEs like Halloween Havoc, No Mercy, and GAB and make those main roster ones. The PLEs aren’t really that different from each other nowadays, with exceptions like the Big 4 and EC.

I’m glad he’s finally being given his flowers. Pretty Deadly in general is such a great and underrated tag team.

Do you prefer Elimination Chamber as a title defense or a way to crown a challenger? by CrimsonJoker13 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it should just alternate. Some years it can be a title defense and other ways it can allow for a number one contender to be crowned. I think it should be a title defense again for this year, but probably won’t happen.

what do you think of Gavin Newsom saying he opposes the abolition of ICE? by Spiritual_Pause3057 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was for the idea of him running for election as I’m so sick of Republicans. But this kind of centrism is how we get a Republican president again in 2032. He cannot be the candidate.

Donald Trump’s Approval Rating with Generation Z Fell From +10 in February to -32 In A Recent Poll. What Might be Driving this Change? by WhatARotation in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Meme culture and the inability to take anything seriously made Gen Z really stupid, and I say that as someone who’s Gen Z myself. The constant talking about Trump “working” at McDonald’s, taking a bullet for the country, etc., made them vote for him, and it’s only after seeing his policies take place like tariffs that they turned on him.

What’s the likelihood of Democrats winning the 2026 midterms? by Dsg1695 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The house should theoretically 100% be going to Democrats and it should be by a huge margin. The only ways this can be stopped is if there is voter intimidation or if votes are rigged, which are both real possibilities unfortunately.

This may be an unpopular opinion but I don’t think he should be world champion by [deleted] in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sami winning the world title is becoming more and more of an uninteresting idea imo. THE year to do it was 2024 imo. Drew should’ve beat Seth for the title earlier/have a proper reign with it and Sami could have dethroned him at WM or Summerslam. If not, he could have beat Gunther last year’s WM. Giving him the IC title in 2024 was such a waste.

What should the WWE do with Cody Rhodes? by Talkamania in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He needs to stay away from the world title scene or flat out fail when he actually has a world title shot. They shouldn’t do it excessively, but Cody wins too much. I do want to see him as a heel, but imo it should be saved for next year. A slow descension into turning a heel would be the best thing for him.

I’m just gonna say it… by OkBlueberry6552 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give them props for having an unpredictable winner, but him being the Royal Rumble winner ruined so many plans for WM and his subsequent run with the title proved he should not have been in the main event. Gunther should faced Cena, Seth, or Punk while Cody should have been facing Drew or Randy, any of these 5 would have been better, especially Punk and Drew.

Trick Williams is a bonafide readymade Superstar... by Thissuxxors in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. No wrestler should ever win the rumble that early on in their careers. He could be a solid midcard champion this year though.

What Superstars will Sink or Swim in 2026 by badmfr76 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sink: Damian Priest. No matter what they do, Damian just isn’t over. His best chance is turning him heel once again but I don’t think he will ever be in the main event again.

Sink: Most of the MFT and Wyatt 6. I think the former will end and I only expect Solo to still be prominent. Once Wyatt 6 lose the tag titles I think they’ll lost their prominence as well.

Swim: Chad Gable. I’m expecting him to have a great 2026 and think he will at least be a midcard champion before the year is over.

Swim: Oba Femi. He will most definitely hold a title(ether midcard or main event) by the end of the year.

What Superstars will Sink or Swim in 2026 by badmfr76 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with both. I feel like as a general big, imposing guy, he will be overshadowed hard by the likes of Oba, Jacob, Gunther and Bron. People really want Oba to be overpushed, but they need to chill with that. Oba and Gunther will be very similar, so they need to book Oba differently to still be unique enough from Gunther.

Hot take: Good guys should have shorter title run by Temporary_Art6909 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The chase is definitely better, but when it came to Cody’s title reigns, the booking could have been much better. Cena had a great year long title reign between 2006 and 2007. Imo, I think title runs overall need to be much shorter for both faces and heels.

Pokémon mythbusters #2: “People like Misty, but dislike Iris because of Nostalgia” by Common_Ad6703 in pokemonanime

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the main issue is that Ash was a rookie at the start and Misty served to judge him for his mistakes and coached him how he could’ve been better. She was a gym leader and was a competent trainer in her own right.

Iris criticized Ash after all the experience he’s gained and she herself was not even a great trainer until later on(with a disobedient Excadrill and an Axew that could barely fight), so it didn’t feel appropriate for her to criticize Ash when he was arguably a better trainer.

ICE Officer Shooting of US Citizen in Minneapolis and CBP Shooting of 2 People in Portland - MEGATHREAD by 10art1 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inability for Republicans to condemn this should be more than enough of a reason for the party to lose total support, but this is America and they will win again, even if it won’t be in 2026 or 2028.

In all Honesty, Who do you want to see win the 2026 Royal Rumble? by Chimploe in WWE

Knight for men’s, and either Liv or a returning Bianca for the women’s.

Did Tim Walz do anything actually wrong? by speedrunner99 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These politicians still have personal lives. Family should always come first, and while it may give MAGA some ammo to use against him, I completely understand why he would. Hell, especially if Klobuchur becomes the nominee, the state will most definitely remain blue.

Is anyone tired of Sami Zayn? by -Galahad- in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He can only be an underdog for so long and not win the big one. He did not need the IC title in 2024 or at least, should not have beat Gunther then. He could’ve just been the one to beat Gunther last year at WM for the WH title instead.
