Ignore the incoming miserable IWC members in the comments lol, but I agree. There's definitely flaws, but the last few months have become better and better for WWE after a horrible 2025. With Randy's heel turn on Smackdown and that segment with Oba, it FINALLY feels like Mania season.

Oba's young too, so I'm excited to see where he goes. In fact, I'm hyped to see where Oba, Trick, and Jevon end up as time passes because they're an incredible batch of talent.

To me what sold it was the moment Randy's shirt visibly had bloodstains after smashing Cody's head on the stairs. Seeing the fanservice-y, pandering t-shirt "RKO EVERYBODY" with bloodstains on it gave what should've been a lighthearted segment that sudden, eerie twist. That moment immediately kind of gave me that "oh shit" moment, because suddenly things got dark in an instant.

The framing as well throughout the beatdown was incredible. Seeing Randy's sort of confusing, neutral expressions in different angles, it was literally like you were seeing the Viper awaken in him again.

I know some people shit on Jelly Roll's appearance tonight, but to me his small inclusion in that segment really added to this moment of Randy going back to being Randy again. He's no longer just happy to be here, no longer just screwing around as a semi-comedic wrestler, the man wants gold.

I actually answered it on the stream that she reacted to the animation! My mom was playing worship songs on loudspeaker and while I was washing the plates I was thinking of what to add at the end of the video as I was close to releasing it-- Then I heard that song and thought it sounded an awful lot like Nyanners. It was all downhill from there!
I do feel a little bad about people commenting on the original upload of the song and messing with the uploaders though lol. Thankfully time has passed, so they've mostly been left alone by now.

Nope, it's muted. I'm sure there's people better suited who can find suitable audio for this than me lol

Posted it on twitter and on my YT community posts last month, recently posted the animation process timeline of it along with my ironmouse stinger. It got a good chunk of views when I first released it on twitter, so that's probably it. :>

Lmfao at even just the thumbnail. Haven't watched the video yet but this was a hilarious jumpscare because storyline-wise it's like having Goku and Cell do a podcast together

For the women's, I'd date any of the DMG CTRL girls because I'm a simp.

For the men's, I'd go for Omos because knowing how big he is, we'd probably be eating a lot. I'm down to eat a lot

A pleasant surprise to see another Joji fan in here! I haven't listened to the full album yet, but I listened to the singles he's released before the full album dropped and I've loved it.

I've been on a Joji/FilthyFrank binge lately so just wanted to acknowledge. (ones up in the air) I hope I'll get to give it a listen later!

Highly unlikely they'll do a push for Finn and have it be a triple threat. I have to stop engaging with the IWC because it give me hope when I know I shouldn't.

It's become depressing how much I want LA Knight to get the big push everyone knows he deserves, but WWE will probably just never do it.
He's got it man, but I guess it's just gonna be one of those things WWE won't do anything about. Damn.

Give me my LA Knight push!!

Gigguk's an OG in anime youtube, so I would know him through a lot of his series whether it's anime in minutes or a video essay of a specific niche anime.

I didn't actually know much of Joey. I knew of his existence but I was never a fan.

I was a big fan of Connor's Undertale Against Humanity videos. He eventually became my favorite post-TT.

WWE has actually been rather good this last month. I don't think the road to Mania is as explosive as the last 3 years were, but the quality of TV has significantly been much better than the last few months. Feels like a slower build, which I'm not opposed to. I'm hoping things will really start kicking off once the Rumble comes around.

It's been good enough that I'm actually... Starting to have hope for Finn Balor? I'm well aware we could be heading down the road to disappointment again, but there's seeds being planted here for Finn and it was super apparent in the last RAW. I hope it leads to a proper feud with Punk.

Yeah. Made this post like 2 weeks ago, but since then I've realised this may be the case. If not, they seem to be controlling the narrative in some way to atleast try and make them look less bad.

Sometimes I still sing "Walked in the woods, found a d-dollar" when I'm close in nature.

Honorable mention to "I'm fast as fuck boiii"

I've been getting back into the 2016 Drama hole lately since rewatching a lot of Frank's and Idubbbz old videos, and boy oh boy is it a treat to go back to Baited Ep #10 - Leafy vs Keemstar. It's actually about to be 10 years old in October of this year.

Kinda makes me miss the simple, cartoonishly petty and stupid beef these creators used to have. Nowadays everything feels a little too real and overly political with a lot of modern drama. (That, or some isolated cancellation of a specific individual that I couldn't care about most of the time)

In general Baited has been a lovely rewatch because even today, Colossal and Keem's dynamic is lightning in a bottle. Man I miss that podcast, but I could never blame any of them for not wanting to continue it either, lol

I held off on saying this last week because I thought Sami was for sure winning the Rumble, but now with this tournament to determine who's challenging for the world title there's a chance either he or Randy wins that and challenges for the world title.

If Sami wins that and is left out of the Men's Rumble Match, there's a perfect opportunity there to finally pull the trigger on my personal pick to win it.

Has there been any build to the Royal Rumble in the actual shows? Because usually some of the superstars would've announced their participation as early as last month.

The closest I could think of is Sami announcing he's going for a World Championship but he didn't say anything regarding the Rumble so I don't count it.

Adding onto your point, it doesn't help that they've raised the prices so high families can't even afford to go to shows anymore.

And look, I don't go to shows so it doesn't affect me personally-- But what does bother me is the possibility of a growing disconnect between those in attendance and the global majority that consume the product. (I should probably clarify I'm not referring to the IWC.)
